10-27-07 Race
Where do I start? I had an awful day. It started off with my dad rebuilding my top end on my race bike right before we left for the race. Everything seemed to be running fine with the bike at home. At the track before I even had a first practice the bike was bogging so I went out on my practice bike and had a fall. After I got back to the trailer I relized I broke my helmet and the valve stem. Luckily dad worked fast and got my race bike working properly (so we thought) for the races. In my first motto 7-9 class I struggled to stay ahead, the bike just wasnt right. During my third motto the bike came to a complete stop, now the coil burned out. What could happen next. I finished my last motto on my practice bike, the one with a flat tire. Considering the tire was just spinning on the rim and I wasnt getting much traction Im happy with the second place finish. I now have two second place finishes in the 50cc class and both are because of bike problems. Now I know why some racers have four and five bikes.
