August 2009
Well we have finished 2 more rounds of the Southern Motorcross here in NC. Round 12 went well as far as finishing, but the bike took a dump on us after the 2nd moto, the thing just went blahh. Found the reedpetals broke and luckly stuck in the intake and not iside the cases. We were lucky enough to be able to borrow a friends bike for the main event for the 10 to 11 class and finished 1st for the night. Unfortunatly mother nature came in to play for the open class and a down pour insued, i took J out of the main for that race because we were on a borrowed bike and the rider we were closest in points was the guy who we borred the bike from, he was injured and could not make the main. I decided to play it safe and sit it out he finished 5th overall because he raced the first round. Round 13 went well he finally cleared a big double that he had been afraid of so that bossted hime well, but like carma is he came a bit short and lost it and crashed so he finished 2nd for his class. The open class wnet well 2 third place finishes for the night. We have been practicing at a plce called busco beach, it is a atv park with a small track. It is not very technical but it is long and a decent rythm section for speed practice. He has improved his speed confidence a bunch here, it also has big corners for practicing to rail a corner. Well all for now we have a race this weekend then back on every other weekend for the rest of the year our break is over!
Thanks for reading my rambles.
