TwinSpar, Rick and a few other DRNr's showed up early to lead the ground asault on Shady Grove. After a week straigt of rain the track was in perfect shape! Stick corners, excellent jump faces ad landing zones.... My knees felt so good I honestly forgot all about that dredful day in December. All I can say is that I am back. My corner speed has improved dramatically over te last few months due to my knees and me taking it easy on the jumps but the jumping skills are coming back fast. TS is riding faster on the 250F then he ever did on the CR250 and Rick on a new 01 CR250 is flying, I spent 6-7 laps on it and have to say it is the best 2-stroke I have ever riden, in the air it felt like a BMX bike and it cornered like it was on rails.
We went out time and time again, the three of us jockeying for position, throwing down dirty block passes on one another... okay I threw down the dirty blocks, but I have to practice for DW yanno? It got really crowded out there but other than a guy on a zuki that was slow as heck and could not hold a line to save his life while others were passing him it was a complete blast. Sitting i the pits Rick looked at me and said "yanno, nobody was passing us today, feels pretty good" granted Shane and the local fast guys were not there but it was still fun to be one of the fast guys for a change. Long story short, today was the best day riding I have ever had. Now the bike gets torn down for DW01 preparation.
