[QUOTE="KDXDan, post: 116265, member: 20231"] [b]Motocross on my KDX race report.[/b] Thanks Dave, I raced and finished in the top 20 in the first moto. Actually I came in 17th. BTW there were only 17 racers but my goal was to finish without any broken bones. This was an arenacross track and I had only been out of my yard once before (and broke two ribs that day). I took the outside gate to stay out of trouble but got into a mess in the first turn and could never catch anyone. I had a guy tell me that we (old timers) should have a separate class for older racers. I asked how old he was and he said 28. I moved away from that guy before I had to tell him I'll be 40 next year. Anyway after the practice and the first moto my forearms were aching. I almost didn't race the main but the 18 year old kid I came with (his first race and man was he sick) and I decided to go for it. I was asking for advice on the starting gate and found out that the majority of the racers were starting out in 2nd gear. So I gave it a shot and didn't hold back. The KDX almost took a holeshot! I was second going into the first turn into the whoops but went wide and was passed by a couple riders. When I got to the second turn two guys went down in front of me and my front tire was wedged between someones fender and wheel. I stalled trying to pull the bike back and most of the pack pasted me. I then found out why my arms hurt so bad. I was shutting off just as I was going off the jumps causing all of my weight to lurch forward every jump and I was not using my legs to squeeze the bike. As soon as I relized this I started to pass a few guys and started catching some air (more than my average 5 inches). I finished 11th which was better than I expected as I am a little older than most of the other racers, ride a heavier KDX and have never hit a whoop before in my life. BTW. I picked up a 152 and 155 main and a 45 pilot and will try to do some WOT's before the next race. GO KDX's. [/QUOTE]
