Racing Pictures

We when racing again this weekend. It was 3 in a row, it's starting to feel like last summer again. Isaac always loves to ride. I wish that I could take him more. He did a lot more shifting that he has been doing in the past. He got good starts, much better than he has been. It must be the fact that he is riding more than once a month.

Here he is waiting to 'drop in' to the start area.Amy got this nice picture of him jumping the finish line table top. See the sweat... Yep, riding dirtbikes is a work out. Good picture.

Isaac's number plate on the front of his bike. It's always been there, but Amy decided to take a picture of it this weekend. Turned out great. The last series race is September 18th. Come join us. You can watch, or better yet bring your bike and race...!!

Racing on Saturday Night

Tyler Mountain is trying to pack in the series races now. They wanted do an 8 race series and didn't get around to get them all run before school started. So, they have decided to have 3 in a row. Last weekend we got rained out just as the second round of motos started. This weekend they got about a third of the way into the second round when this little storm stopped the races... The track in just above the 'a' in Charleston.

I wasn't sure if they would get any races at all this weekend because there was a small band of rain that came through during practice and muddied up the track. Isaac got to ride in the mud, he likes it. He was excited for the racing in the mud, he is smart about it. He takes his time picks his line and eases into the throttle to keep upright and on two wheels.

We'll be back next week...

Double

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...!!!
