Eight of us met in Grand Rapids on Saturday night to watch the Arenacross races. Tom Dixon, his dad, sister and her SO met Napper, two guys from the shop and I for dinner at the BOB. We had good food and experimented with the micro brews. Napper drank one that was so dark that it turned his goatee BLACK.
Watching Arenacross reminds me a lot of watch hockey. The field is the same size and it is nice to see who wins, BUT you are really watching for the carnage (fights in hockey = crashes in arenacross). We had our fair share of carnage.
The highlight of the racing was wtching the kid on the SX 65 who not only cleared the double jump, but ALSO the stadium jump. He cleared it 5 of the 7 laps and never crashed, but he came very close a couple of times.
Good to see everyone again!!
