Mammoth Motocross Vet Weekend.

I was entered in the Sandbagger class (Jr) and I had the best weekend for bad starts. You couldn't have done any better then I. I went 4 for 4 for crappy cement starts. Yeah I was too cautious. I was more concerend with getting home and work on Monday (which I was late to...) then a five inch wooden trophy. More practice, I should be good.

Aside from that I put in 20 great laps around the mile long track. Enjoyed the constant watering, loam and gravel (which has now developed since they are no longer to add topsoil.) Took a baseball size stone to my neck in my first heat on Sunday. It's amazing how when the adrenaline is racing, you don't really feel it. The staff did an excellent job at running motos, getting the track groomed each night, making sure everyone got a parking spot. Fortunately I couldn't tell you how good the medics were, since most of them are friends I will just say they are good.

The pro race was unreal. The gossip was Ryno was talking smack about MC. I don't know if this was true or not but McGrath held a School on how to ride motocross both days. Star pupils were Ryan Hughes, Dowd and Ty Davis. All of them tried to keep Jeremy honest but it didn't last too long. A typical moto for McGrath was; turn the throttle at the starting line, burp it at the finish line, rinse and repeat 10 times over. If Ryan was talking smack it was quelled quickly buy the shower of roost MC was throwing off his tires.

Early mornings, late nights, sleep deprivation, cement starts and sandbaggers only mean one thing.
One hell of a great time.
