WORCS Rd 1 - Phoenix, Az

I have just recently completed round 1 in Phoenix, Az. 

On Saturday, it was the offroad section.  I like the motocross more but am doing this class since I am there anyways.  I came out with over a minute lead and was looking good when my quad over-heated.  I finished the class with a 2nd place.

On Sunday, it was the motocross.  We came out and set up in our lines, 7 lines total, preparing for an anxious start.  I was on line 2, the 70cc SS class with the 70cc open class on line 1.  The flag dropped and line 1 went...30 seconds later it dropped again and we were off.  We had to run for 30 minutes and I was feeling good.  Soon I took over the lead and was catching the class in front of me.  I road hard, trying to pick them off one by one.  I knew I had to stay low over the tabletops in order to maintain speed.  Accomplishing this, I continued to gain on the leader.  As the checkered flag flew, I only had 2 I was unable to run down.  However, for the overall lap times I was the fastest overall out of all 7 classes.  I finished 10 seconds behind the leader and was right behind the 2nd place as I came through the checkered flag.  I was very excited when I came off the track.  I was proud of myself for riding hard and doing everything I have been taught.  A well earned first place on the podium with a first place overall for the race.  I hope to come out just as strong for round 2. 

Got something to say?
