first moto the mud was unexpected for our class so no one was prepared. I didnt have tear offs or anything. right away in the holeshot, my quad slid sideways trying to get traction, which made me loose traction even more. of course then i got some blasts of muddy roost so i had to take both hands off the quad and pull my already heavy goggles off, then i got back on the gas. I was in 8th place and whenever I would try to go faster or pass (i knew I could there was one girl who was just holding me back) my helmet visor would fall in front of my eyes were i couldnt see, so i had to shrug my shoulders or keep my head way back which made everything awkward. So first moto I ended up in 8th.... which isnt bad considering I have never ridden on a muddy track of that level before.
second moto, the holeshot was beautiful, i was right in 4th place and i just tucked right in with the top 3 girls and i was right on them. I was going faster than I have gone in a long time, it felt great. All of a sudden, in the back of the track, my quad lurched and died and I had no idea why, I started crankin on it and it wouldnt start at all, i was so furious and frustrated of course, about a minute later when everyone was about to come around and lap me.....the quad decided to start. So I took another lap and was completely confused about what went on. When I went to the pits, I saw my pipe.. it was completely creased and it must have been just enough to make that motor say no.
Great thing is: i know i can run with the top girls in the class, and that little bit that i got to run with them and actually be competitive was one of the greatest feelings in the world. Hopefully next time I will be able to have better luck
Pics will be coming soon
