My Racing Friends

The weather was foggy and cold at the start of the race but by the end the sun came out a little.  We were just hoping that it was not going to rain.  I did really well in my 65 beginners class taking first place in both motos to take first overall.  I had some tough competition from Jamie Ferrari, Ethan Cox and Nick Bonelli but I was able to hold them off.  My mom took a great picture of all of us after the race hopefully I can get it on the site soon.

In the 85 beginners class I did great, I took 1st in one moto and third in the other moto to take 2nd place overall.  My friend Steven Elmore (he is one of the fastest riders) who usually rides in the 85 beginners class rode in the novice class and took 1st in the 1st moto but had a really bad fall in the second. I think he is o.k.  but they took him to the hospital to check him out.


This is the last race of the series The awards ceremony is on December 1st however they already told me that I took the championship in the 65 beginners class and placed third overall in the series in the 85 beginners class.  Steven took the championship and Zach took the reserve championship in the 85 beginners class.  Nick Boneilli won the reserve championship in the 65 beginners class. 


Hope to see everyone at the awards ceremony.

Sunday, Nov. 5th was the 15th race in the Ukiah Speedway Motocross series.  Currently I am running in first place in the 65 beginners class and third in the 85 beginners.  I did really well in both motos for the 65 beginners taking first both motos.  In the 85 beginners class I placed 6th in the first moto and 4th in the second moto to place 5th overall.  I have two more races to finish this series as long as it does not rain otherwise the races will be cancelled.   

I did really well in the series finals at Marysville for the MTA/CMC Nationals.  The first day, Saturday October 21st, I placed 1st in the 65 beginners class.  I had a great start in the first moto getting the hole shot and keeping the lead.  The second moto Jace got the hole shot and took the lead but I was right on his tail trying to catch up and pass.  I took second in the 2nd moto to finish 1st overall.


In the 85 beginner class I did really good in the first moto.  I was running in 5th place and was able to pass 2 bikes to finish 3rd.  The second moto I started really good with me in about 5th place when I fell twice.  I had to do a lot of fast riding pushing to the limit to pass numerous riders to finish 23rd in that moto however I took 13th place overall.


On the second day of the series finals, I was able to place 1st in the first moto of the 65 beginners class. The second moto was much more challenging I was running in second place when I fell but I was able to get up and going to finish 5th in that moto to take 2nd place overall.  In the 85 beginners class I was able to do well by finishing 12th place in each moto to finish 12th overall.


Overall at the end of the series finals MTA/CMC Nationals I took first place in the 65 beginners class and 10th place in the 85 beninners class.
