wanted to race and a 150 just didn't do it for him so he enterred 250C on his dad's 250F and did a very respectable job out there.
Congratulations Luke Zimmerman (son of Zoomer) on a great race

No, in our district (16) you can run any color combo numbers you want. All the same the other gys had all raced before and none were under 16 that day

That's good looking dirt. I see all of these pics of places people ride and all I can think of is the dirt.

That's really cool, I wish I had that kind of opportunity at his age.

I would love to ride some dirt like that, occasionally when we get moisture trails are nice but most of the time we get this kind of stuff http://www.techonvent.net/tovforums/album_pic.php?pic_id=450 Loose, very dusty trails, makes for kind of cool pictures though. :D

Wow thats great. I would have been scared to let him ride a 250 though, but it looks like it worked good for him. Congrats for the good ride, and that was a great shot Oldguy.

That's awesome, who knows if my little guy ever grows he might be on one by 11 or 12. He just started riding (and racing) his 85 this weekend. He looks a little small but he can move it around pretty good. I can't imagine a 250f, that's gotta be a chore!

Howd he do racing his 85? I sure wish I wouldve gotten into racing 85 when I was 9 or 10. I was at the races this weekend watching and there was this 11 year old you got 2nd overall in supermini. The kid who won was 15. I cant wait to see what everyone whos winning and doing good at 10 and 11 will be like when they're 15
