November 2006
On November 20 we went to Atco Motocross park 14 points out of 3rd place for the 50cc stock class. The day before the race my dad took me to my friend Gage's house. While we were practicing on our 65's, Jesse Festenstine and his father put a fresh top end on my Cobra. I didn’t get to ride it until practice the next morning. After practice my dad asked how the bike was pulling and I told him that I thought I could ride up front with the new top end. In the first race I took the hole shot and rode up front for a little while before falling to 2nd place. The leader broke his chain on the third lap, which allowed me to take the win in the first moto. In the second Moto I took the hole shot again (Thanks to Mike May) and rode up front for a bit before dropping to 2nd place, I went on to finish in 2nd which gave me the overall WIN. I was so stoked. I ended up earning 20 points for the day, which put me into 3rd place for the year. With one race left I have to race like I did last weekend to hold on to my 3rd place points. To top the day off my buddy Gage finished in second place and held on to has 1st place points in the 50cc stock (4-6) class. Jesse finished 1st in his class and Mike May finished 2nd in his class.
I would like to thank Rick Solis (Gage’s father), Jesse and Jerry for getting my bike ready for the race, if it wasn’t for them my bike probably wouldn’t have made it through 2 motos.
