I was at the Paisley RAT Track up near Owen Sound for the 3rd Round of the Provincials. It was a tiring weekend as I had a graduation party and a buck 'n doe to attend Saturday before leaving for the 5 hr drive! My good buddy Chris helped out with the drive up though and I managed to snooze for a couple hrs before arriving at 2:30am :S The weather was cool and cloudy, it sprinkled on and off throughout the day making the track go back and forth between slick and tacky and it developed some really big ruts everywhere as it was clay. I had 2 real good motos in Youth but wasn't as happy with my Pro motos. Here's what went down: Youth:
I managed to holeshot both motos and led the first moto for a couple laps before getting passed. I was happy with how I rode though and stayed at with the front pack both motos. It was basically all the same guys from Pro at the front of youth.
2-3 --> 1st OverallMX1 Pro:
Got off to a slow start the first moto and the lead group sort of got away. I ended up finding myself all alone on the track with no one to really chase and I never managed to real the lead group in.
It started raining again before the 2nd moto and by this time the track had become pretty muddy and slick. I got of to a 2nd place start and things were going good until I stalled the bike in a corner on an off camber hill and struggled to get my bike started. By the time I did I was pretty far back but managed to get up to 5th. 6-5 --> 5th OverallWell with 2 Rounds to go I still sit in 2nd Overall in the Youth class (9 pts behind leader) and now 3rd in the Pro - only 4 points separate 2nd through 4th. Next weekend I'm in Port Perry for Round 4. Wish me luck! DL
