Race'n action


Today was some more racing at the barn. What a perfect day to be riding the bikes indoors. Nate took a 3rd in his 20 inch class and missed making it to the mains in the cruiser. Nate said his GHP was faster with the new tires on as the Holy Rollers seemed to slow the bike down when he was not pedaling. He also looked more comfortable today as he has had 3 days on the bike now. He can only get faster and better now.

I took a 2nd in the 20 inch which was earned as I had to come from gate 6 with one guy on the outside and 4 to the inside. I was lucky to get to the 2nd spot as all the guys inside are just as good so some luck was on my side. In the cruiser I took a 4th place as I has to hit the breaks 2 times to avoid 2 guys elbowing each other from the start to the end. The best thing was Bryan hit the gate at the start and went around all of us and took the 1st place at the line. Bryan also talked me into racing the open and I did make it to the semi's but that is were the run ended. Still a fun day at the track. Now 5 days of work with a nice break to go to gate practice Wednesday. Later..
