Racing at the barn.


Well Nate and I were racing at the barn this weekend. There was a single point race yesterday and a double point race today. Nate raced the cruiser only to save his lst couple of wins in inter so he can race age at the Grands in a couple of weeks. He took a 2nd place yesterday and then today one of the other racers rode him hard in the first turn and he tried but just missed getting it back in turn 2 so he didn't make the main. Yesterday I took a 4th and today in a stacked gate of guys I took a 6th. In all it was a fun weekend the tiny bikes again. Nate just needs 3 more wins and then he moves to expert and that is were the fun begins as he will be racing nothing but the top guys in his age group. As it looks now he should be ok but I think he will have to suffer the learning curve and get his butt kicked for awhile until he falls into the pace that they go. Kenny was there today and he rode a smart race to make the main and then as a few racers bumped he rode on and then Fred stopped pedaling short of the finish and Kenny keep the gas on to steal a 3rd place finish, it was a cool way to finish. See ya at the gate practice on Thursday. Later..
