Getting Back To Racing!

  • Mood:
  • Weather: HIGH 98 Today

I've started this journal to keep up with all of my boys racing information. We've been racing off & on since my boys were 3 &4. Been out of the race scene for 3 years & now we are back. So far we have raced about 5 races. Things are looking really good. The boys seem to really like it.

At our first race back in June.... Andy had a really bad accident. He was hit by another racer. He went down jumping a double. The wreck didn't hurt him. When he stood up to get back on his bike another kid jumped into him. Well, we got to spend a few hours at the hospital. Thank goodness no broken bones. A lot of brusies...and a muffler burn to the back. His brother Zack brought home a 4th place trophy that night.

Both of my boys race in the 85cc Beg. Class together. Yes it makes for a lot of interesting stuff. Brothers racing on the track together.....

All of our other races have gone great. No more bad wrecks. We just raced Saturday Night at ICR. Zack had a lot of bad luck but he made the best of it... He was running in 3rd in the first race. Then he went down in a burm & the bike feel on his leg. Had a hard time getting the bike off of him. He was able to make up a few spots & come in 8th spot. He wasn't really happy with that. Andy had a lil trouble coming out of the starting gate. He came in 6th in the first race.

The 2nd moto of the race was interesting: Andy got a pretty good start & was able to hold 6th place. Zack got hung up in the starting pretty good. Scott had to help him get out.... he was in dead last....(10th Place). He was on fire... he was able to move his self into 4th by the end of the race.

There overall standings were:

Andy: 6th (1st Moto) , 6th (2nd Moto) = Overall Placing 7th

Zack: 8th(1st Moto), 4th (2nd Moto) = Overall Placing 6th

Tonight we are going to HIGH FALLS SX Track to practice for Fridays Race!
