Good and bad news from AMA Arenacross at Reno. I was good in practice Friday. Qualified for the night show in both classes. In first Lites heat race I tangled with another rider in the run up to the 60 feet catapult jump and bike shifted to first gear. I was committed to the jump but came up Wayyyyy short. Stayed on the bike but had to pull out of the race with blurred vision and swollen neck. Later that night I qualified from the LCQ's to make the mains in both Lites and AX classes.
Friday night Lites main event Istarted from the second row. I moved to 4th by the 3rd lap and 2nd by the 6th lap. Rode well, but Reardon was long gone by the time I got to 2nd. Finished 2nd, 1/4 lap ahead for 3rd place. Still hurting bad from the accident earlier.
Friday night AX main event I started from the second row, but by the 2nd lap was up to 5th. Stayed in 5th for half the race, then pain and blurred vision slowed my pace. Held on to finish 13th.
Saturday morning rode practice and it just did not feel right so we all decided best to not race and try to start healing for Anaheim.
