Arenacross 2008
We've now completed 3 of the 10 rounds of this year's Arenacross series. This year, two of the races have been run at an outdoor track--leveling the playing field a bit for those riders that do better on the bigger outdoor tracks, which has proven to be good for Connor. He's currently running first in points in the 50 Open class, a couple of mistakes has made him 2nd in the 50 7-8 class, and he's an impressive 2nd in the 65 7-9 class. He had a great weekend at the outdoor track--getting up the courage to do a huge double that only one of the 10 or so 85 beginners were doing. He had older riders coming up to him and telling him how awesome he was doing, which was a huge confindence booster for him. He was even recognized at McDonald's on the way home as "that fast kid on the Cobra". It's an awesome feeling to finally be riding at the top of the class. We were even approached by a local Cobra dealer for a potenial sponsorship...
