More Race'n

Today was another day of racing at the bmx track. Nate and I left to get there with time to get a bunch of gates as I thought there would be a mess of the finest trailer trash there. The was a bunch of the trash blowing in the doors but only about 70 moto's. We got there and Russell showed up after doing the morning road ride. Ronsta showed up a couple of minutes later and we all were hitting the track before the races started. I got hooked on a handle bar on one of the gate practices and hit the deck and now have a nice circle on my chest from where my handle bar dug in. A few scrapes but nothing really bad, got up and rode on. One more day of racing and then the 3 days of hitting the dirt will be done. It was alot of fun and hope to have more good results.

Nate did the usual age and cruiser today. He took another first place in the age and a 2nd in the cruiser. He is just getting better each week and now beating the others kids in intermediate and making it look like the other racers are not even out on the track with him. In cruiser he had a total pointer and rode a very smart and got the great result again. Nate is a natural on the bike and I think you just put a bike under him and he will ride it as hard as he can and never give up. I can't wait until Mtn bike racing starts. I think he will be flying and doing a fine job again this year.

I took another 3rd place in the cruiser today. I didn't have the head in the gate starts and blew it in the first 2 moto's and had to settle for a 3rd place. But the fun was that they had a race called the BS open for all racers who were 28 and over ( sorry Ron as he turns 28 on Monday). You race the bike you brung and it is the pro's and everyone else. I had to do 2 qualifying moto's and pulled a sweet low high to make it to the semi's. In the semi's it was a full gate and the top 4 in each made it to the main. I had a great gate start and took 4th out of turn 1 and held it to make it to the main. It was cool and they did a call up and all so it was the shit man. We had 3 races and the points were added and I took a 7th at the end. The top 6 were pro or former pro racers. It was the shit to make it to the main and I got a a real cool number plate, bmx DVD and a shirt. Thanks to Fred who got it all organized and to Len and Russell who donated 2 wheel sets to raffle to the racers in the BS open.

Again Russell came and raced and took another 3rd in the crusiser. That guy has the luck as he shows up and gets a total pointer and comes home with some goods. He raced well and is closer to the guys each race. Ronsta always has the tough expert age to race. He races the 19 to 27 year olds. He didn't make the main today but stuck around to watch us finish our races. Thanks Ron.

Also always the show never ends as Russell was leaving and he got the Loser Cruiser buried in the mud outside up to it's axles. We tried pushing the cruiser out but that wasn't going to happen as that thing weighs a ton. He got that thing buried in deep water and mud I don't know what the hell he was thinking. We went inside and got Fred hooked up the tow ropes to his F250 and he pulled and we pushed and it out. Always something.

Well Cece and I talked and we are putting a bid in on the house. The realtor is coming over tomorrow when I get home from the races and we are going to sit down and get one in. We should know after a few days of what is going to happen. I hope it goes and this is over and we can move and go from there. It will be nice to have a brand new never lived in house. Will keep you posted. Later..
