AMA Southeast Amateur Dirttrack Nationals
It looked like mother nature would rain us out once again in Paducah Kentucky. We did have luck on our side though and with the help of promoter and good friend Steve Nace, the race went as scheduled. They had lengthened the short track from last year and made some some other modifications that improved the entry and exit from the half-mile track onto the short track. Practice gave us enough laps to get our bike geared correctly. We've been changing our strategies somewhat and its been paying off. I ended up placing 2nd in the Vet 30+ and 3rd in the 505cc modifed class. The half-mile track was well prepared and traction was excellent all over the track as soon as the sun went down. The starts are a little tricky because the slope of the track was so steep. After getting an ok start. I hung in there for the duration. We were consistent all day and at the end we finished 2nd in the 505cc modified and 3rd in the Vet 30+. Thanks to all my sponsors and my tuner, my Dad!
