BMX'n

We loaded the bikes and headed to the barn in Elkorn and raced today. It was a fun day of racing. On the way there we got to East Troy and was hailing the size of golf balls so we pulled over to the side of the road to not dent the car. There were some FIB's that were driving in it at like 70 mph and all I can think these shit heads are going have some big dents in the cars and vans. It sounded like the windows were going to blow out at 15 mph. But after a few seconds the hail passed and we were on our way again. It looked like it had snowed on the road there was so much hail.

Well a race recap is that Nate took a 2nd in age. They had him racing 11 inter and he is a novice but he doesn't care he just raced and did great. In the first moto he was battling the lead guy and over the last table he was about to pass him and the guy took Nate out real hard on he hit the dirt. After a few seconds I got him up and got the cruiser and he was right back at it. He got the first in the next moto and made the main. He fought it hard and just missed and got his 2nd place in age. In his open he missed the main as all the others were experts but he wasn't far behind. In cruiser he got 3rd place and that was a good finish also.

I got a 3rd place in age group cruiser. It was a total point but it was against 2 experts but I had fun. Skyler took 3rd in age and I don't recall how in the open. And Jay from Ben's took first in age inter. And Alan didn't race because he didn't have the money to get a license and race so he may try tomorrow or Thursday.

The track is way different and I think Ron will be flying on it. Right out of the gate there is a small table type bump. After that there is a 3 to 4 foot rhythm bump not a table just a roll over and then the 1st turn. After the turn there is a step up. After that there is another higher step up and then a rhythm right in front of the 2nd turn. Then there is a rhythm and then a little table and then 3 or 4 rhythm and then the last turn before another table then the line. I hope that will help you Ron. Come out and have some fun.

As for tomorrow with the rain and all Nate and I don't know if we are racing cross. We may just go to the bmx instead. We will make that decision in the morning. Later..
