Isaac went racing on Saturday night. It was the 5th race in an 8 race series. We have decided to only race the series this year. Isaac is only racing the 65cc classes now. He is getting better and better, more and more comfortable on that bigger bike with the 5 speed transmission. He has been talking double for the last three times he has raced. Amy keeps telling him not to. I say make sure it is your call, commit all the way and don't come up short.
Well on the 3rd lap of his first moto he romped on the gas and hit the second double of the back stretch on the track. He was just a hair short, bobbled a little and took off. That was his last lap of that race. He never was feeling it turning the next moto, and we got rained out before the second set of motos so it was just the once. But, Isaac has now doubled on his 65.
He is pretty stoked.
There was a lot of discussion about what gear to be in and how to shift in different places on the track. I am sure that he will be jumping it again. He sure loves the racing...!!!
I always, always psyche myself out on the double. Gosta commit before you even get close to it. My deductible is way too high now for that kind on nonsense.
