Friday race report:
Mitchell ran the 4-8 year old 50cc class. There were 20 on the gate, 2 rows of 10. Practice session one went smooth...he ended 4th in qualifying time, but did lay it down once. He ended up 2nd in the Heat race, which was his gate pick for the main, as he launched out with a good start.
Here is a pic of Mitchy in the heat race in second. Came off the track and said he was going for the double, the kid that won, Reed Cooper, was doing in front of him. Reed, #2 was second in the country last year at Lorettas and is a factory Cobra rider..he rips! Mitchy did do that jump the next time on the track....said "dad, I had to seat bounce it"...what??? how does he know what that is...I can't even do it.
The main, he did not get the same good start. He ended up running 4th for most of the race and hit some lappers on the last lap. Mitchy went outside and the kid behind him went underneath the lapper and snuck past. Ended up 6th.
Jess Moore from RamJams ended up with a so so start as well and ended up 8th in the Expert class. Lots of fast dudes on that gate and 2 rows of 10 on the start in that class looked like bumper boats until it spaced out a bit...kind of scared me to watch it?
Some pics of the boys
Today we go to Supercross and watch the big dogs.
Tomorrow, Mitchy gets to race the 7-8 year old 50cc class. 20 more fast kids on a little tight track.
