[QUOTE="robwbright, post: 935727, member: 60515"] Hi guys: I just had my first three races the past week and a half. I entered 125D at my small local track, started in 5th, passed 4th and 3rd and finished 2nd out of 6. Funny thing - they did a staggered start for 125C and 125D and I didn't realize what was going on in the heat and rode with C. I stayed with those guys but couldn't pass to get out of last. Then I went to a much larger track about an hour away this past Friday night. I entered Unlimited C/D and 125C. I think there were 9 bikes in each class. I finished 6th or 7th in both. The primary reason I didn't place better was my starts - I was right on the 6th place guy's wheel at the finish, but I started in 7th or 8th both heats and both races. I did manage to pass one or two people in these races, but the track was very tough - 100 yard start into 80 degree right hand turn into 100 yard steep uphill, etc . . I need help with starting tips. I know I need to practice more, but what specifically do I look for and what should I practice. And by the way, 125 riders - should I start in 1st or 2nd? I've been starting in 1st. Thanks Rob Bright [/QUOTE]
