So awesome, how did it go? The truck/semi puts some things in perspective a bit.

Still driving home. Making memories with my kid! Not the result he wanted, 26/37. Had a mechanical issue that made bombing down those hills kinda scary for him. Rode a few laps in the second moto and pulled off so he didn't get in the way. Lots of people working hard to get him good stuff to ride, hate we had issues. It was his first time seeing Millville so just qualifying was good.

No way to describe that huge downhill, they had built steps in the hill so you god walk up. Steep both ways!

No Washougal for us, that's a little out of our budget in both time and money. We will be back for Unadilla and possibly Indiana.

That downhill was gnarly. I was there. Took a non-moto buddy. I was telling him the jumps aren't the hard part, dive bombing this downhill is though. First time I seen the Dunge go down it, it was pretty freaking cool.

His name is Matt Burkeen #826. I see your town is Granite City. I grew up in Florissant. We used to go to the flat track and stock car races over there.

Good on you guys! And great that you support your kid at something he is obviously very good at!
Cant imagine being fast enough to be able to finish even close to mid pack in that field of riders let alone even qualifying!

Great story and will be following you guys at Dilla!Wink Good luck Matt

Matt rode good at Budds Creek last week too, here are a couple shots of him from Budds,I'll get some shots of him at Unadilla in a few weeks. There are a few more shots of him from Budds in my photo gallery.
