today was the first race. i got there and i was the only one running the 14 and 15 year old class so they had to put me in with the Quad D class. i thought the D class would be like a stock 400. there was a 380 warrior, modded warrior, 250R, 3 decked 400's and my 300. i got up to the gate with these guys and i about crapped my pants. the first thing that happened was the guy beside me came over gave me a high five and is like good luck and we talked for a while then some other guys came over. that is what i love about this sport. your competitor is your friend, not enemy like other sports. well anyway, when i first got there it was MUDDY. you literally could not even go through it. i did a lap 4th gear pinned never let off and just spun. my engine was REALLY hot. later when it cleared up. there were 2 massive hill climbs...
Moto 1- the hills were closed obviously. first gear at the gate was in 5 of 7th. there was the 250R, warrior, and 2400s in front of me. these guys were FAST. i was realy pushing myself. but, you couldn't really get air. it was basically a mud contest. one guy ran off in a mudhole right in front of me and i almost hit him. i passed him. i was in 4th and finished 4th. i was whipped.
Moto 2- perfect track now. pinned, believe it or not, i get the holeshot. first gear it was roosting like mad doing a wheelie and i shifted into 2nd still wheeling and then in 3rd. then it came down cause i let off. the 250R and 400 passed me. the 250R slows down and i slowed down and the warrior hit my back tire. gave him a nice 3rd gear roost. i had 3rd about a half a lap. i went to the outside to single the doubles and i stalled it in the mudhole that didn't dry up. the passed me. i got it fired and was in the corner and the warrior went to the outside and passed me. i was then in 5 or 7. next lap the guy on the 250R was whipped and so was i. i gave it 120%. i gunned it and went to the outside. the inside was a small tabletop. the outside was a big first jump and a farther landing. i nailed it perfect. i looked left while on the gas hard and i had a length on him and passed him. my dad was jumping up and down like a mornon. i was in 4th then. i kept my place the rest. i took 4th again.
i should have been racing 250EX and 300EX and blasters. not modded 250R's and 400s. anyway, they said i did an awesome job for my first race and they gave me 1st place plaque for winning 1st in my class. they combined mine with the D class so i didn't get a 4th, i got 1. i felt a little guilty. but if i beat a modded 250R, then 300's and blasters shouldn't pass me. i deserved it. anyway, i got 1st in my class. for my first race, i had a GREAT time! i LOVE racing and want to do it a LOT more! i was whipped at the end. i need to get in shape bad. i mean i'm not fat, just not mr.6 pack. they opened the hills up. i got up them fine. 3rd gear. i almost had to pull off and not finish but that 250R was on my but and i wanted to beat him so i did. GREAT day! no pics. sorry. we have to get them developed and my dad only took a couple. i "misplaced" our video camera:eek:. our other cameras batteries were dead and the regular camera ran out of film quick. anyway, great time.
