Berkshire Race

Spent the weekend camping and going to Dan's race in Berkshire NY, It was a fun trip Rod rode up with us and Matt came late after work. Showing up at 4am in the morning to race just a few hours later ( Youth is a wonderful thing) Dan had a terrible start but, was showing great progress in lap 1. He checked in at 5th place on the first lap passing at least 10 people. That was pretty much the hi-light of the race as things shortly deteriorated from there. A pile up on a hill and a wicked crash that broke his camera off his helmet and damaging his visor was the ending hope for a great result. He managed to pass a couple of people to salvage a 9th place finish for the day.
Rod faring much better scored a 2nd on his race letting that ever elusive first place finish slip by. He practically had a hole shot in the start and was first in lap one. Me and Dan where hopeful for a first place finish for Rod until he was passed in the second lap.
Matt ran strong all day not allowing rod to pass him through most of the race. (Note Rod's class starts 1 minute behind Matt's class) Quite an accomplishment considering he was passed in lap one of the last and inaugural race for Matt. He is young and keeps getting faster I'm sure he'll be kicking every one's ass soon. He finished 10th over some serious looking competition. Check out the pictures from the weekend or look at the video
