[QUOTE="BSWIFT, post: 444448, member: 16802"] Round 7 of Saturday Night Thunder was a perfect evening for MX at Ascot. Sawblade(the Mrs. and Sawtooth) were down from Bentonville, MX757 was ready, MX547 was in attendance with his daughter Kendall. I got a late start but got there in time for 1 practice. I haven't been on a track since the Cooperland crash in July. I was just going for points. MX547 would beat me out of 5th place with a broken leg if I didn't show so there I was. The gate dropped in the first moto and I was going to let everyone go and just roll the track. Funny thing is, after hesitating on the line, I ended up 8th into the first turn. :cool: I was quickly passed by the entire field of over 30 and 40 riders. My moto was uneventful and I got lapped by the moto winner with 150 yards left. :whiner: The second moto rolled around and I figured I might as well hit it hard at the gate. With the series leader to my left(KTM400) and David(CR450F) on my right I was looking at a lot of roost if I didn't get a good start. When the gate fell, I hammered the Mamba. Hit the first turn in third, got a good drive out of the first corner and pulled even with the number two rider. I was quickly back in the pack holding off MX757 for 3 laps. I was trying to "ride wide" but at 142 lbs.(Official BSWIFT scale for DW02) it is hard to be that wide. I finished 7th OA(last) but had a blast and didn't get lapped in the 2nd Moto. Ascot is a fun track, very safe but challenging. It sits in the river valley and cools down nicely towards race time. Come on Dirtweek! :thumb: [/QUOTE]
