So its 12:40 and I just got back from my first night race at the Marshall Fairgrounds in Marshall IL. Well I left home at about 3:30 and got to the track in time to register and such.
Well then time for my practice came. I went out and did ok. I wasn't the slowest and then again I wasn't the fastest either. But I think I did ok considering the track. The track had to be the most dangerous track I've ever seen. Well the track started off with a curving starting straight, then a braking bump into a 180 degree right hander. Then you went up a four foor tall 10 foot long slope in to a drop off into a sharp left hander. Then there was the worst jump there. A drop off with a "landing" of course not even the 250A riders could make. Then there was a bermed right hander into four double-double whoops into about a section of whoops to be blitzed. This was the most dangerous part of the track. All that separated the whoops and the grand stands was 3 bales of hay down the 200 foot straight. But yet for my first time blitzing whoops I think I did ok. Then came a bermed right hander into one of the most fun jumps I've ever done. I 3 foot high lip then a 2 foot step up. In second gear it sends you 10 feet up. But once again very dangerous because if you got squirrely the entire track was 7 foot wide and 2 feet inbetween. Well after the step up, there were 2 singles. Then there was a left hander followed by a speed bump. Then there was a straight then 1 whoop then a 40 foot table with atleast a 20 foot high launch. Then repeat.
Well onto my first moto, the ninth, I got a bad start. Well the moto went OK until the third lap where the most spectacular wreck happened. I went up the tabletop with a guy to my left. Well we go up and bump in the air. Then, he lands first and pulls in front of me taking out my front tire. Now I proceed to flip through the air and land on my back. Well I open my eyes and see the swingarm of a YZ250F coming down on my head. Well I rolled faster than the eyes of a 13 year old primadonna. I was then helped off the track with my DNF.... bummer :( :whiner:
Next moto I decided that I was just gonna put in my laps and finish. Well the starting laps went off without a hitch but then on the double-double whoops I went off the track into oncoming trafic. Whoo that was a close one. That was my only problem, whereas other people flipped over the guardrail into the grandstands. Then I saw the checkered flag and went home. :) :aj:
