Fun times were had at Tomahawk. We went with out Moto Mom, Moto Sister, and Moto Brother. Just the two of us hanging around between all the activities. We decided to add an extra practice, one with the Junior Minis. The extra practice seemed to help. Enthusiasm increased, confidence boosted, more seat time and more gas was burned! We were ready for Race Day on Sunday.
Trying a new launch technique for the first moto proved more practice was needed. Going sideways out of the gate is not good! Ended up third to last to the first turn. Moved up to mid pack before wiping out. Not remembering to pinch the bike was the answer to why the wreck happened, finished 15th. Moto two went better. Good start with good performance yielded a ninth place finish. With 16 riders, a good finish for this season. Spirits were high when we packed up to head home.
The new chain made it on before first practice and the RK Racing Chain performed flawlessly. No problems with the bike or the truck to report. Everything made it home in one piece without drama!
The weather was good for the track, but hot and humid during the peak of the day. Wanting some a/c was on everyone's mind. Glad to have snowballs on hand at the concession stands. This provided some needed relief. Our water cooler packed with ice worked wonders even sitting in direct sun. A camper with working a/c would be nice! Tents do not provide relief from sun and humidity.
