Race Of Champions

Today was a long day of moto's and racing for Nate. In his age class there was 22 racers so he had qualifiers to the semis. In his first moto he spun his rear wheel in the gate and had to make up track and finished 3rd and they took the top 2. In his 2nd moto he had gate 8 and had a long way to go. He hit the start perfect and took the 2nd spot and sat there making no mistakes to make it the the semis. In the semis he had another good gate and was running side by side with in 2nd and the guy went down and Nate just hit the gas and his just missed taking Nate with him. Nate again just rolled in for 2nd and was in the main. In the main he had a great start and the guy behind him lost it and hit Nate's rear wheel and it caused Nate to unclip. He clipped back in and tried as hard as he could and caught the back and passed 1 guy to finish 6th. He was easily in the top 2or 3 and is was a disappointment not to ride it out to the finish and challenge for the win but he raced hard and rode his best. It just happens some times and you can't control others actions on the track and just have to race then next race and move on. He will make it up tomorrow when the grands start. Mike Froh had a good day and finished 4th in 41-45 cruiser. Sorry I can't remember how the others finished. Later..
