My Racing Friends

Honey Lake was the qualifier for the Loretta Lynn Regional at Washougal.  I did not do as well as I would have liked but I did place well enough to qualify for Washougal.  Honey Lake was rough.


Washougal was fun.   The track was great.  Saturday was practice, Sunday and Monday were races.  I did not have a race on sunday.  I learned a lot, met some new friends and some old friends here.  I went fishing at the pond and saw the waterfall.  I got soaked wet from my shoes to my knees - my parents were not happy about that. 


On Monday was my classes 65 Mod and 85 Mod 7 -11.  About 40 kids per class.  They do three motos per class.  I was able to complete 2 motos of the 65 class.  On the second moto of the 85 class I was flying up hill hit a braking bump, went over the handle bars, the bike landed on me hard and I had to be carried off the track.


I broke my ankle in 2 places.  The doctor called it an inline break which will require a cast and crutches for at least a month. I am currently in a splint, have to keep it elevated and iced.  Next week I get the cast.


Goodluck to all, ...... I will be back...........

I went to the first two races in the series for Ukiah Raceway.  I took first place at both races in the 65 Novice class.  In the 85 Novice class I took a First place the first race and a second place in the second race of the series. 


I am currently in the lead for both the 65 Novice and 85 Novice series however I will not be able to complete the series due to an injury. 


Goodluck to all racers at Ukiah.

Went to Sac raceway for Friday Night Motos.  I am not going to do the Series.  Track was fun.  I took 4th place in the 65 Nov on April 13 -  which was a practice night.  On April 27th I won 3rd in the 65 Nov class.  The 85 Novice class runs on the first gate with the 65 novice so I had to choose which class to race.
