CCFG Jay races

This weekend was all about the races NEOC. Saturday was spent tweaking and fine tuning then test riding the awesome Husqvarna 250 two stroke WR woods weapon. After that Dan and I moseyed over to Matt's garage under the false pretense of chilling out and watching Supercross. Well looky here!!! Matt's bike is in total crap hole status. "But never fear friendly neighbors are here” Matt states. Showing us a large box of assorted new plastic and metal to give the old RMZ a face lift. So off we went with wrenches spinning converting the old washed up sand scrapper into a fine modern, gleaming, yellow, woods winning racing machine.


Sunday was race day so off to Millville and we rolled early A.M. Matt, Kenny, Rods, and my race was first up. All was in attendance for the first race of the year. Sherrie, Jessica with two of her friends Kerry and Sara. Joe was present as pit crew and as a ever reminder with his freshly broken ribs to ride smart out there.

The race got off with Kenny crashing in the first 100 yards taking him out of the race early on. Other then Kenny everyone did OK. The lap times with the positions are in the table below. We were all in different classes starting a minute apart for each other.

18th 20:47       23rd 20:23               7th 17:52

19th 21:48       23rd 19:18               7th 17:41

21st 24:12       22nd 19:49               8th 18:32
I didn't post Dan's times because he's too fast to race in our "C" class and elected to race the main event. Where the track is longer so we would be comparing apples to oranges so his times are not present. Besides that his race was unbelievable. This is his first race in the main class and he did great. He got off to a bad start and was in last place going into the woods. Then he battled back to a respectable 11th place passing at least 13 A/B riders in doing so.
      I was happy with my performance other then I wished I didn't slow down and allow people to pass on the last two laps. I kept thinking the fast guys where lapping me and getting out of their way was the correct thing to do. Next race "NO MORE MISTER NICE GUY"   Wow after analyzing the numbers here for a few minutes Rod's old Irish ass kicked some butt this race. Good Job
