My usual topic, where'd you ride this passed weekend? How was it?

I raced, for the first time really in about 6 years.

I did fine first moto...2nd moto was another story. I pumped up almost immediately and couldn't hold on.

Track was killer, and bike was working great...Just need to keep working that cardio!

I raced round 6 of the National Hare and Hound Series in Jericho, Utah...100 miles course full of whoops, sand, and tight technical single track.

Not my best day ever (I felt low on energy all day and just never felt like I really "flowed" with the course)...finished 4th Vet B...I was leading through mile 50...and then got passed before mile 55...I missed a turn at around mile 60, and then lost the front end at about mile 70 and twisted up my front end enough that the bars had to be turned noticeably to the right in order to go straight, and that took the wind out of my sails...I helplessly watched a podium finish ride past me.

Still had a blast though. My legs, arms, back, and hands (blisters) are sore today...

Heavy Metal Raceway at Vilonia AR, 3 days after an F4 tornado destroyed 328 homes in the town. We had to drive through the town to get to the track and saw the recovery efforts---total devastation. Parking lots look like cars had been rolled in a giant rock tumbler. Felt guilty carrying a pickup truck full of bikes through the town.
My 7 year old son has decided he'd rather be a crew chief than race, so that's him on the starting line giving me some advice before the first moto.

There were several California riders that raced the NHHA up here on Saturday and raced that event on their way home on Sunday...

I heard it was brutally rough...like VW sized whoops...

It was AWESOME! But, Genius that I am...I showed up w/ PERFECT suspension for the new Glen Helen National track...uh...yeah...NOT so "Special" for those early A.M. Rock-Sections! (The rocks are all still there...they're not blown out for the 1st race of the day. I had to do the Unclassified-7 a.m. race, only 3 loops, and get back to the HRH to wake a certain group of Energy-Drink-Guys & get their hung-over-Asses to the Stadium. Instead, I took'em to the Pink Taco & got'em all "cabana'd" poolside & didn't get'em to the track 'til 5!)
DOH!

Me and a bunch of buddies went and rode Albnay MX....had a blast and the weather was great all day. One of the best Albany rides I have had in years. I think 6 - 7 different practice rides.....still sore today.....but worth every second.

Did fast farms on Saturday. Man, that track is fun as hell. Even for a 46 yr old.

You're absolutely correct about the tornado just obliterating the town. It's an awful situation all-together. Especially 3 years after the previous tornado devastation in the same area. As far as moto goes, I'm embarrassed to say this, but I didn't even know that track existed and I live in Conway. I'm just now getting back involved in the riding side and have been looking at places to start riding again. I haven't ridden in about 10 years but my son has a PW50 so I figured I might as well get going again too. How's the track? When do they have practice? Any info would be awesome and that picture of you and your son at the line is very cool.
