National Enduro ISDE Qualifier in Lubbock Texas
It was a long, hot, and dusty weekend for me and the crew this weekend. My dad and I, along with two other awesome racers loaded up the Moto Van and headed out to the races. We rolled into the race venue about mid-day Saturday, and we got through tech and sign up in about 5 minutes. There was a jetting loop that was about a half of a mile long, so we got our flow on for about an hour to make sure everything was working flawlessly. We stayed the night in Post, a town about 20 miles from the race venue, and woke up the next morning with our race faces on, we went into "race mode". On our way to the race venue we happened to come across a flock of Turkeys in the middle of the road, we tried our best to avoid the turkeys, but we managed to blast one on the corner of our van. Let's just say, the Moto Van had turkey for breakfast. Anyway, my dad and I, and Stewart "The Ball Peen Hammer" Hamer were all on row number 4. The first test section was extremely tight, crippling my ability to get a flow, or my ability to get out of second gear. The second test section was awesome!! It consisted of fun and flowy singletrack, where I was able to lay down a pretty good time. The remainder of the test sections were extremely tight and energy draining. I had a pretty good and strong finish, I was able to finish 2nd in the AA class, and 13th overall out of all the "Big Boys". As soon as the race was over, we jumped in the van, and drove back to Scottsdale, we rolled in the driveway at 3:00 A.M. Monday morning, and I woke up at 6:30 to go to school. It doesn't get any better than that. Everybody had fun, and we all walked away injury free. Beeeeraaaaaapp!!!
