Just got home from the 2 day race at Walton and had a great weekend. Saturday turned out to be a mudder with constant rain throughout the day. I only rode the Youth class Saturday as the Pro Classes were both on Sunday. Saturday:
There were 63 riders in Youth so they had to run qualifiers. I got fifth in my qualifier which was probably the muddiest moto of the day. In the main I knew the start would be crucial but unfortunately I got some wheel spin coming out of my gate and was off to a 25th place start. By the end of the moto I had worked my way up to 10th with some pretty sketchy moments coming through the pack...I could hardly hold my head up from all the mud that had accumulated on it! Sunday:
When we woke up it was pretty foggy and there was a light mist. Amazingly the track had tacked up nice and ended up being awesome, littered with multiple deep long ruts in every corner. I loved the track today!
As a side note, I borrowed a 250F to ride for the day (which I didn't ride before today haha) just to get some extra track time and break up the waiting between motos. My main focus was of course the MX1 class. MX2: 6-5, 5th overall (6 riders) - Nothing to exciting to talk about other than losing my rear brake half way through moto 1
MX1: 7-4, 4th overall (17 riders) - Felt great, had top 10 both starts both motos and managed to work my way up a bit. I really felt good today on the 450. After 2 of 5 Rounds I currently sit 2nd Overall in the Youth class and 2nd Overall in the MX1 Pro class.
Next race is Round 3 in two weeks at the Paisely RAT Track.Braaaaapppp!!DL955
