Message: [QUOTE="firecracker22, post: 444455, member: 20316"] So I went to the MX track for the first time since April. I wasn’t expecting much, as it’s never been my strong point. I am terrible at jumping and less than mediocre at everything else. But surprisingly, I had a great time! I didn’t go with anybody but at the track, that is ok. I got there at 4 pm so it was still pretty quiet for the first few laps. Took a slow one, then another one trying to remember where everything is (fairly large track). Pulled off to get a drink and went back out. After people started to show up, I saw faces I recognized; a little girl who races and her dad , chatted with them for a few minutes. Fouled a spark plug (jetting’s getting closer but not perfect) and had to borrow a wrench since mine was in my trail pack at home, so naturally I chose the only group of riders which included another female to ask. She turned out to be about my age, on a KX 100, a little faster than me but not much! She wasn’t clearing anything I wasn’t. So she and I chased each other around for a while and I ended up riding until they chased us off the track when it got dark. I felt much better out there than I thought, and really tried to work on my corner speed and the whoop section. No crashes, though a couple of almosts; I never knew that wind made that much difference! Weird. Anyway, had a good time, other than that, nothing spectacular. It makes me want to race as many mx races as I can next year. [/QUOTE]
