After watching supercross on tv on saturday night, we left for Dutch Sports Park with Cody VanBuskirk. Cody and I got to sleep the whole way there, of course. Yet for some reason I don't feel bad for our dads. Hehe
I went there because I wanted to qualify for the regional at Red Bud. I tried in the Collegeboy and 450 B modified classes.
Dutch is a sandy and hard pack track. There were a lot of different lines to take, too. I think it's the ideal track for being able to pass people. This fact worked to my disadvantage a little, too.
My Collegeboy motos went all right. In the first moto I got a mid-pack start and rode to an 11th place. On the last lap I did a kind of banzai pass down a straight to get my 11th back! That was the highlight of that race for me. The second moto went very similarly, as I raced to a 12th overall. That was a more difficult class.
My 450 B mod motos went quite a bit better. The first one started with me almost getting the holeshot! I got an awesome jump on the gate and just pinned it. I stayed in second place for a while, but eventually got passed. So I got 5th! The second moto went almost as good, with a 7th. You wouldn't think it, but I got a 4th overall! I'm pumped on that!
Here are several fun facts from the weekend:
-There was lightning and was supposed to be rain (but thankfully didn't!).
-an almost dead bug was on the front of our van.
-a random guy came up to us and talked about his cinco de mayo party.
-the average rut count per turn = 4.
-an unfortunate 65cc kid crashed pretty hard while we were watching. Awwww.
-the best line is the inside line.
-did I mention ruts?
-number of cheeseburgers eaten: 1.5
-the choice of shower was the bike wash station.
-the water was cold. 8|
-number of crashes: 0!
-number of Motos I beat Cody: 1
-number of Motos Cody beat me: 3
-my bike is awesome!
-there were no fun facts beside the bug-almost-dead thing.
Thanks for reading my pointless fun facts! Next weekend: GNCC time!
See ya. -Greg
