Well we made it thru round 4 with 2 good finishes Josh placed 2nd overall in the 65cc 7 to 11 open class and 3rd overall in the 65cc 7 to 9 class.  In the open class they ran with the 85 D and super  mini classes, so there was plenty of bikes out there and he did great and actually beat an 85 the first moto.  The 2nd moto that same rider was in front but j stayed just behind him.   In his normal class it was some good racing out of the gate and some side by side for a bit then everyone spread out, but josh still likes that big jump at Tuskarora track.  this jump is really good for going far and high, now if i can just convence him he can do that on all jumps he will be # 1 evreytime!!  Josh is doing great and is 6 points out fo first but 2 points infront of the thrid place guy, so with 3 races left anything can happen we are just hoping to stay up on 2 wheels and get good finishes and everything will work out.  there is  couple week break so we will work on his starts and find other tracks here locally that have some racing untill we resume our sanction.  Thanks to his sponsors who help make it happen.

well i had a big weekend!  We started out sat early am (like 7am) going to my first motorcross school located at Cow Branch here in NC, it was instructed by Jay Brown #269 and samantha ( i forget her last name).  I really liked the school we learned about 3 diffeferent kinds of corner technics, jumping was just an hr, then off to the quick turn a fast s turn once to left then right away to the right?, anyway then we did starts.  at the end of day we had a 3 lap eval afterwards the instructors came and had some advise for us, then we did a 5lap eval and more last min advise.  My papa said i did great and improved greatly.  i liked the one on one instruction the instructor actually stopped me and talked just to me.

sunday i went to round 3 for our SMX fall series and i raced my normal class and the open again.  this time i wasn't so tired at the end.  we had 10 riders for the 7 to 9 class and my class seemed to help my corner speed felt great and i placed 5th behind the guys that normally get me and in front of the guys that are on my tail but not this time! i was comfortably ahead of them!   my starts still need work my papa said but we will be working on that.  i am 2nd for points but only 10 points sperate the top 3 of us so who knows what will happen next, i do know i want first!  Thanks to my sponsors for the cool parts and making me look great on the track. oh yea i place 3rd in the open class out of 4 but i wanst last!
