I figured that Im there I may as well give it a go. I have been practicing for the last couple months
and though still way rookie as long as I survived I consider it a success.
Lake Elsinore is located in Southern California and is one of the only tracks in Cali to offer a quad only track. Turns out we didnt even race on the quad track on this day so it was a brand new track.
The weather was insane. If you hadn't heard we'd been having a heat wave the last week and temps were 106+ on Sunday. With a watered track who knows?
We arrived at the track to setup at about 7 am. We got all unpacked and comfortable so we go to sign up. I think we were both starting to get excited and nervous at the same time. My son was signed up for the 71cc - 90cc stock class. I signed up for the 450 C Class but after practice spoke with a bunch of the vets and they all told me to get in the Vet +30 class. They said it would be much safer for me. I hadnt thought about it before but it made sense to me so I switched.
The Dominator's Race #122 (my sons nickname :-) )
My heart was pumping I dont know about him but Im sure it was too. Moto #1 he got out of the gate pretty good and through turn one untouched. He got comfy around lap #3. I could tell because he started trying the jumps.
He finished very strong in 4th overall for Moto #1. The moto was combined with the stock and mod classes.
So he was totally stoked with it all. Finishing, competing, he loved it all.
Moto #2 Came around and you could tell he was more used to the whole idea of racing. Moto 2 he finished up 3rd overall. It was a great day and I think he may be hooked.
I'll put my pathetic day in a reply to this post :-)
