My bike was still in the shop.  Yesterday I borrowed my neighbor's Yamaha 250 so I could race and keep my points.  I got 3rd overall in 250 C, not bad on a 1995 bike.  Always a good day when you're riding!

Bike back in the shop, not news yet.  Probably won't be able to race this weekend.  Gotta get a 2nd bike to ride.

Went to Bithlo to practice for this weekend race, running good.  Practiced for about 2 hours and my last run on the track I was going through a whoop section and my bike totally shuts off.  Over heating big time, fluid leaking, disaster has struck - engine seized.  Yikes!!!

Fun day racing at Dade City.  Bike is running good.  Pipe blew out fiberglass filling , had to repack.  Not bad in 250 C class except for 1st moto, my foot accidently hit the brake during a hard breaking section of the track and I stalled my bike.  I was running 4th at the time, but got 9th.  2nd moto got 5th, for an overall of 6th position. 

My mom called Spaceport Cycles and the owner's son, Clayton, got the part I need for my bike overnighted from California!

I can race tomorrow!  I won't lose points!  Thanks Mom and Clayton!  I will never forget this!

Called about my bike, it is a no-go for this weekend.  The manifold pipe intake has a crack in it and the soonest they can get one in is next week.  Bummer!  No racing this weekend.

My bike is still in the shop, it was suppose to be ready today.  Down to the wire,... I leave tomorrow with friends to go to Dade City to race this Sunday.  If worse comes to worse, I will just go over with my parents Sunday morning, RACE DAY  Later....

Checked Cocoa Motosports today on the way to work, parts to fix my bike will be in on Wednesday.

I need the bike to race 2 days later.  They have it in priority status.  Later...

Looking for sponsors, my mom found this web site so I signed up.


I worked today at Corky Bells Seafood.  My motocycle is in the shop, $700.00 worth!!


I race next weekend, I hope it's ready because I am! Later! Bran
