05-05-07 Galion, OH - Short Track Race
I went to the Sunset Ramblers MC to race in their first short track of the year. It had rained and when we got there the track was really wet, so they used golf carts to dry out the track and we still started on time, which was a big relief. In practice turns one and two were really tight but they loosened up as the day went on. In the 85 heat I had a battle with Drew Lowery for the first two laps and then went on to finish 1st. I rode the JET Racing CRF150RB in the open-am class and on the first lap the guy in front of me tucked his front wheel and I bumped into him. Then as I was about to recover I got hit from behind and fell. I got a scrape on my side from the foot peg but was able to make the restart. They let me line back up on the front row and I finished 2nd. In the 85cc main I got the hole-shot and the win, my teammates JR Addison & Eric Iddings finished 2nd & 3rd giving JET Racing the top three. In the open-am main I started in third and was able to move to 2nd on the first lap. I was able to hang with the leader, Eric Stump but couldn’t get the pass. I had a lot of fun in Galion and I was really glad that Ray Rees, owner of JET Racing, and his family could come out and watch us race.
I want to thank all of my sponsors and the Sunset Ramblers MC for a great day of racing.
