[QUOTE="blackhawk468, post: 107416, member: 20438"] Well, my race on Sunday was screwed up but tons of fun. It started off with missing practice on wednesday and saturday before the race. I ended up getting the times messed up for practice before the race on Sunday and missed practice before the race. Well, I got one lap. My first moto for 125 beginner was the 2nd race and the womens class was the last race. So I was going to pull off the finish liine for womens class and go straight back to the gate for 125 beginner. Very tough. Well, I didn't even have time to practice starts so I basically pulled up to the gate trying to remember what i was supposed to do. LT was working the gate and got me really pumped up before he dropped the gates. Then the gate dropped and my bike bogged. I was last in the first turn. The first two laps were slow while i was still checking out the track. Then the last two laps, i decided to say screw it and went wfo in a deep rutted corner. I railed my first corner. I started doing it throughout the whole track and didn't do too bad. I also came really close to clearing the triple. :p I placed 9th. Well, Brandon came over and taught me how to do starts. After a long wait my womens moto was up. I took a minute to get pumped up and LT caught me off guard, while i was trying to back up my bike from the gate when he dropped it and it fell on my tire. I didn't get to behind though and I was right behind 1st and 2nd place most of the race. I fell in the corner near the finish line on the 2nd lap and lost time. I still placed 3rd though. :confused: Well I basically got a drink of water and headed up to the starting gate for the 2nd moto in 125 beginner. I was even more pumped now and I wasn't about to have a bad start. The gate dropped and I was 2nd going into the first turn. I was taking each turn faster and faster and I progressed through the laps. I couldn't belive how fast i was going and how comfortable i was with the bike. I never have ridden that fast before, i was happy with my riding. I was really tired in that moto and again placed 9th. This nice lady offered for me to sit in her air conditioned trailer because i looked so hot and worn out. She gave me drinks and helped me cool off. Well after what seem waiting an eternity for my last moto it finally came. I pulled up to the gate and was pumped and determined to win. The gate dropped and I went 2nd into the first turn. I stayed there for a lap or so until 3rd place came up to pass me. I tried to block her while giving the bike more throttle. I don't remember much after that because I took a bad trip over the bars. I remeber feeling my ribs hit the bars and I remember thinking "oh $#%^" and then feeling my head hit the ground. I instantly felt my left side warming up and i tried to move but i couldn't. Someone came to my side and asked if I was okay. I got a ride in the little off road ambluence thingy to where they checked me out. I was happy to find out that the chest protector I borowwed for the race took most of the blow and i walked away with a brusied elbow, a head ache, and a few minor scratches on my stomach and ribs. The good news is I still got 3rd place overall and walked home with a 3rd place trophy and some cool stuff from D&S for wrecking my bike. The bad news is my bike is broken. I bent my Pro Taper handlebars. :think :( and I have to get new levers and some other stuff, I haven't even looked it over closely yet cause I'm afraid to see what all I have to fix on it. Other than my bike being broke and wrecking, I had a blast. I wanna race every weekend now. I think that is the most fun I have had in my entire life. :confused: (sorry for the grammer errors, I'm tired) [/QUOTE]
