HI,
I deceided to ride round #7 of the ITP Quadcross series. I got there early and rode the practice this time, (that was a big help)
Moto 1: They did a split gate for the 30+ vets and my moto was drop #2. I was still fighting with my googles when they dropped the gate so I was at the back off the line. I fought hard and passed a couple riders. Then one guy lost a motor so that was an easy pass. I ended up in 5th place out of 8 riders. Not too bad considering the start.
Moto 2: My quad stalled briefly as I was pulling up to the gate but refired right away. I got a good start and was mid front of the pack. I was on a tear! I was hitting everything hard and fast and I was feeling on top of the world! I was almost downhilling the big table on the back stretch and did down hill the big stepup right before the start finish line. I was so pumped...that is untill it stalled going into the dark corner before the back stretch. This time no refire and it cranked really slow. Turns out I spun the flywheel. Such a bummer! It was still a blast and I wish the other rounds were closer to Tucson so I could go. I ended up in 7th place overall.
I got to meet Josh Creamer that night. Didn't talk long but he seemed to be a pretty cool guy and he said his first quad was a Dale Moto. He siad it was really front heavy, but he liked it other than that. Pretty cool.
