My best Dale moment. Wellllll, I bought the Dale as a back-up for my sons YZF. If it broke at least he could ride the Dale and do well. Last fall, the week before we where going to the Buds Creek National his tranny blew. He rode the Dale and did OK. So that was a good Dale moment.
Then this past winter we decided to try ice racing. He talked me into running the Dale. The first race taught us what tires to use and how to stud them. The following week we came back with the right tires and studs on both the YZF and the Dale. In 4-stroke open I was in 3rd behind my son in the hole shot, on lap 5 I think, we passed the guy in 1st, on lap 7 I passed my son, lap 8 I was the 1st one to the checker.

Then I went on and took 4th in the money class.
That was the first time I ever raced. In 3 weeks I took a 1st a 2nd and two 4th's Not bad for an old guy racing a bunch of kids

Another Dale moment !!
Then there was last week at the MX Nationals in Virgina. The YZF failed tech inspection. Front end to wide and we didnt have any 1x4 rims. So he decided to run the Dale in 4-stroke "A" and Production Amature. On Saturday he finished 1st in production and 4th in his heat race for "A". Races where snowed out Sunday so he won production and 8th in "A" because the other heat winner had a faster ET than his heat.
When he called me Sunday I thought it was going to be sad news, I was overjoyed when he told me how he did
