No hardware this weekend but had a great time.
I came home from work Friday night to load up only to find a couple boys watching TV and no chores completed. Informed them that we wouldn't be racing this weekend. I woke up about 3:00 AM (us old guys got to get up to pee, don't laugh you young studs will get there.) Anyways I'm thinking I've worked hard this week why am I being punished, so I loaded up and drove to the races myself. I took my teenagers new motorcycle, Yamaha YZ 250F 250cc Fourstroke revs out at about 13,500 RPM, I have similar bike 426cc kinda like small block vs big block, my bike has alot more torque but also weighs about 40lbs. more. I had a blast riding that bike generally when I see the white flag I am pretty relieved that I 've only got one more lap, not so on that bike I was like no a couple more laps and I can catch the leaders.
Race results Moto one: I was in second then stalled the bike going into a corner right in front of our camp no less :jest: , went from second to last then worked back to sixth. Moto two I am in third then crashed again right in front of our camp, :bang: back in last place worked back up to fifth. Working your way up thought riders is a blast I'am sure the roadracing guys would agree catching the guy in front of you planning a pass and making it stick is just good fun.
