Hey Sparky we've been going to the points races there. But 2 weeks ago Jake burned up the crank in the 65 and we missed that one. He's still 7th having missed 3 races out of 10. He's been averaging 3rd racing the expert class, he's the only 9 year old the others are 11. Last Saturday he crashed 2nd moto on the start, the kid put him in the berm on the 1st moto trying to intimidate him and Jake told him HE was getting the holeshot next time. Well they both went over the berm and down, Jake gave up almost a whole lap before getting it started. He went 7-8 out of 17 1st time racing (or riding) the 85. His feet only hang a couple of inches below the pegs. He can barely reach the starting blocks and this is with the bike lowered.

Here he is on the 85 last Saturday at the school.

Did he race like 85 begginer or 85 7-11?

85 beginner, he'll get another couple races in beginner then move up to intermediate. The expert 85 class is mainly 14 and 15 year olds he's gonna have a little while before hangin with them boys.
