65 RACE ON WASHOUGAL PRO TRACK (4 of 5)

For the first time in 40 years, the second day of the amateur race was ran on the “official” pro track.  Usually the back section of the pro track is not raced on by the armatures and a different starting gate is used for each race.  Because of the rain delay, they decided to “make [...]

riding through the UP’S and DOWN’S

This last weekend I raced at Argyll MX in Dixon.   Practice on Saturday was a mess!  The wind was blowing so hard that is was difficult to see through the dust.  My allergies were really bad and the wind made it harder to jump and dried out the track sooooo bad.  The whole day was a [...]

So the weather changed our plans this weekend.  We did practice on Wednesday at club Moto and Thursday at Argyll in Dixon.  The two-day race at Argyll was re-scheduled for next weekend because of rain.  Since I was going to have the weekend off from racing,  I thought I could get a little more riding in before the [...]

MMX RACE RE-CAP 10-17-10

This last weekend I raced in Marysville at the MMX Track.  I love this track because it is a wide track that allows you to go really fast.  The track is very sandy with wide sweeping turns so you can keep your speed up through most of the track.  I love going fast! Saturday was [...]

CHICO RACE REPORT

October 10th was the CMC race at Chico Cycleland.  We went to Chico Friday night, practiced all day Saturday and raced Sunday.  The Chico race track is not like most tracks I race on.  At Chico it is much slower and tighter than I am used to, more like a supercross track than a motocross track. [...]

Dodge Day 5 (10-02-10)

The final day at Dodge started early with two 50cc races, Mod and Stock.  I was able to battle but because of the earlier falls I was only able to pull out a 6th and 7th place overall. The final race of Dodge was my 65cc Mod final race.  What a final race!  Started out great [...]

Dodge Day 2 (09-29-10)

After the first day of racing was over, we found that the shock on my 50cc bike was bad.  We were able to have the people at the track re-build the shock.  We found that having the shock re-built made a huge difference in the suspension of the bike.  With no practice time…we were unable [...]

Dodge Day 1 (09-28-10)

Many of the riders that come to the Dodge Amateur National event are older kids and are past Champions that have been racing these events for many years.  Being the youngest kid and the first time at an event like this was really cool.  Day 1 we had 3 races.  First thing in the morning, [...]
