    First race ever was a little rocky!

    Racing yesterday was bittersweet. I loved the experience and the runs that went well. Yeah... about that... I crashed the big double of the course on my first two runs. The motor ran VERY well, I just wasn't able to hookup as good as I wanted with the 121. I can't go back in time - I can only work hard to improve my race skills. I have no one to blame but myself. I figure I have less than 10 hours seat time in the last two seasons... which is not good. Scotty got first in both of the classes he ran. The sport 800 class only had two people, and his competitor had a bone stock F7. Video links are below... ouch! Unfortunately there's really no video of me doing well... which I guess is no surprise. :-)

    The videos were fun to watch, but a little scary! I'm glad you were able to get out and race this year, like you said it was a learning experience! I hope your sled sells and you can work on finding a new one for next winter! Keep us all posted, I enjoy the updates on your blog!

    Thanks Al! Next time you guys will have to come watch. With a little fan-base maybe I won't crash. :-)
