I must have the worst luck in the world. My first Race( 4stroke C) I got a bad start Than got catch up ina 10 quad pile up in the going in to the woods on the first lap. But I charge as fast as I could go and win the race. My first win ever.

Then I raced open miss shift on the holeshot but was still able to to get like 7th through the first turn and was able to get 2nd place. I couldn't catch up 87.

Now I'm felling good. My second 4stroke race. And the kid on the side of my droped his cluth and ran right into me. I end up like 17th through the first turn . I made it up to like 5th place on the 3rd lap and then my chain came off.

my last race of the day (open C) I had two flat tires, a loose chain I couldn't tighten and a shiftlever I couldn't really shift. Not looking to good. Well anyways, On the holeshot gas it as hard as I could and the rims just spun insde the tires. So I didn't gat a great start, but I made in like 5th or 6th and my chain came off in the forth lap.

O well I had fun, I fell alot stronger this year than I did last year.

Sick0- Its 78 not 87 :) . I called it, 78 will be the one to watch out for. Not to shabby for his second race ever. He can certainly make that banshee humm over the whoops. :devil

well my day started great, off the line i was 12th in the holeshot and mannaged a 4th place win in that heat. the second (last) heat i got second in the holeshot and was holding steady in third, went for the pass for 2nd and my spindle broke right where the tie rod attaches:huh :mad: which ultimatly dropped me outta the race when the tire turned and broadsided the front and caught, sending the quad and me cartwheeling, so if not for the tierod breaking i could have easily pulled a second or third overall. it was fun but it sucked knowing there was nothing i could do to make up for it. in the end with a 4th place finish, and a DNF i had 16th out of 36, so i did finish in the top 50%, well that how my race went and sure i was bummed but i had a ton of fun.:)

so sicko you gettin a new carrier or are you gettin acustomed to your chain fallin off:confused: :D

first moto I finished 14th, first lap the whole pack was in the woods i was in the middle. Faster4hunday was under his quad and i was behind him. I could have gone by but i didn't want to run his leg over. ;). I ended up having to get off my quad and turning it around because quad slide a bit when i stopped for him. Then i was facing a tree. None the less i got 14th. Its racing, unpredictable.

Second moto i think i got 8th not sure. First lap in woods again got into alittle quick tangle. This time not as bad but i punctured a tire. So i finish race with a near flat.

I also raced open B. First moto i got 8th, good clean race. Fast class with all the banshees, raptors and R's.
I didn't do the second moto. My tire would go flat with in minutes of filling it. I didn't want to crash because of a flat front tire. (i was pretty beat too so that helped with me not racing it. :blah
