Hey every one! We had amazing opening round at Mt. View MX on sunday, what a beautifull day it was.The track was preped very well. After a great practice I knew it was going to be a fast paced day. Accompanied by Sarah who was sitting at the edge of her seat clinching her jaw at her very first motocross experience. I head to the first moto of the day.
Heat#1 450: I staled it on the line, two corners behind I left the gate working half the field in the first lap, second half the field in lap 2. In second place charging hard it took me 3 1/2 laps to chase down the leader #106 of Nick Mancuso(shout out). After catching him he picked it a notch, making it harder to find away around him. Battling in the roost of Mancuso's Kawasaki 250F it felt like I was being shot by a thousand frozen paint balls. Coming out of the whoops with the presser on, Nick hits the inside hard and washes out his front end going down giving up the lead to conclude the race.
Heat#1 BTH: The gate was a little sticky on all the starts, I found my self in second place with a fellow Moxie MX rider. Battling for a couple laps another rider got him self in the mix. making a pass putting me in 3rd it became a 3 way battle for 1st place. Not one of the 3 of us got more than a bike length away from the other, some corners as close as 6 inches off the other. It was a very fun race for me.
Heat #2 450: Catching a square edge some where in the previous moto left me with a flat and a DNF.
Heat#2 BTH: By this time the track was getting a little dry slick, making it harder to as fast as we were in the earlier part of the day. With a 4th place start i did what ever i could to make my passes as early in the race as possible. I knew if I didn't it would be harder later do to the only fast line that had developed in the track. I quickly got into 2nd place. With the leader checking out on me I knew i could not catch him. So i settled in my line and paced myself to finish the race.
Conclusion: 450class 1st-DNF=last, BTH 3rd-2nd=2nd overall.
I would have to say this Sunday was some of the funnest racing I have done in my 13 years. With the support of Moxie MX, Pinnicle Suspension, Judy at Attitude Motorsports, all the intense racing and coming back to my pit to see a BIG smile on Sarah's face(with a sore jaw) it was a extremely fun day thank you to every one from COSMIC ricing!
