Round 3 was interesting to say the least. Saturday saw horrendous rains all day long, which left the playing field unsuitable for ball play. Fortunately we don’t use a ball in our games.
I have been practicing my second gear starts for the last two weeks in preparation for a much needed hole shot. Well as Murphy would say, I write the law and you will abide by Murphy. OK I just chocked under pressure it wasn’t Murphy’s law it was choke syndrome. So off into turn one I go in last place but I was going to redeem myself by passing as many old geezers my trusty two stroke would allow. Well I was doing some passing and by god I have the helmet cam to prove it. Then that thought gets into my head, which always leads to the next thought. The first thought is, “man am I doing good” always followed by owe crap, “this isn’t going to end good” thought. This is always with no exception followed by a major get off. Get Off is racer talk for a crash. Hopefully I won’t be using that phrase very much.
The curse was rutted and brutal to say the least and I enjoyed the hell out of competing against my peers in a race of skill and balls. I ended up 19th out of 35 riders. I can’t wait for the next one. My son Dan and all our friends did well and they also enjoyed themselves.
Dan got 8th in his class and 80th out of 140 riders in the main event. This is his best finish in the premier class so far this year.
Matt got 8th in his class and 35th out of 161 riders in the C class. I have to say Mathew is really doing well this year as anyone who enjoys himself this much should.
Rod scored a 4th out of 36 riders and also got the hole shot.
Joe once again finished another race beating 12 of his competitors in his class. Joe is going to get quicker by years end and will be destroying my lap times I’m sure.
Kenny did a lot better then his 17th finish. He is competing in the C-light class, which contains 43 riders (43 fast riders)
