Sturgis Races

Let me tell you that there is nothing worse than stalling your bike on the starting gate! First moto of the day and i had to dump the clutch and kill my bike right off the bat.  That made me feel like i belonged in the beginner class.  The day got better after that as i took a 2nd and 4th in the 450 B class.  There were a couple of fast guys that came from out of town to race who checked out right away.  They should have been in the A class.  Sunday started off better with a 2nd in the first moto.  Then the 2nd moto came around and i was 4th off the start.  After the first 3 corners i moved into 1st and was on cloud nine until i started to make little mistakes then fell apart.  It all seemed to happen in the same corner. The ruts in this corner were so deep i finally fell in one and ended up in 4th place.  I guess you can't win them all.  Overall it was a good weekend.  I guess i can't complain to much....i am racing against some youngsters and i'm giving them a run for their money!

Got something to say?
