How’d you do? What classes did you race? Where did you race? How many entires for the event?
Local racing is AWESOME. I love hearing about it.

3rd OA in 55A, loved the new bike! feeling it today.
The Shop
Had a fuckin blast, even though I've got blisters on my blisters' blisters, screwed up both starts and I knew I wasn't ready for 20 minute motos yet. Track got pretty beat up, and my suspension was way too stiff. It was awesome.
Track was national caliber. I was parked in the trees away from the track so I don’t know who did well outside of my classes, but I did see Broc Lassiter went 4 for 4 in the B classes- honorable mention.
Props to Missouri State Director Steve Halterman for guaranteed/posted payout and KTM for contingency.
The whole day was electrifying! (I ride an Alta, so do you get it?! )

95+ hours and no valve issues. Might be time to clean the air filter, change the tranny oil, and lube the clutch cable though...
Revolution B
2nd wooo!
Videos of both motos below. We were 2nd gate drop. Pathetic riding and not my normal flow. Chalk it up to being nervous about racing, I have 1 month before regional in Jacksonville, Florida to get my act together. I really struggled with not being aggressive both motos. Oh, well I was out racing.

The crazy thing is, a lot of the SRT off-road team was there and they finished in under 40min! It took me about two hours, granted that was with helping others and working together to get to the finish, but these guys made it with no help and in under half the time! I seriously can't even comprehend how you could get through some of these sections with no help, I need to see video to believe they did it.
2nd Moto was going awesome, felt great and was battling a bit. Flat rear tire on 4th lap, pulled off.
I race Vet 30 Novice. Turn out was good, but I don't know the exact count.
This pic of me eating roost pretty much sums everything up:
Rode 40+ AM. Not sure how I did; 6th or 7th or so? Had a shit load of fun.
Pouring sweat, blowing snot, 45 minute race and outta there by 10:30am.
No crashes, left healthy,
That's a good day!!!!
I ride a Honda 450, #66.

No racing for me just yet. Just started riding two weeks ago , coming out of the winter. Need a few more weeks to prep myself , then I plan on lining up. Have a few bigger vet races planned in July , so I want to be ready for those.
Edit: And if you're 28 in this calendar year, you can join now!
