That's not funny.....Oh well, still one great year! That year he had might be tough to top, the GFYOAT (greatest fifty year of all time).
..kind of like BYOB....
So, pain is not a problem for him...must be like his mother. I would have been in the corner sucking my thumb. He came home Saturday night and was asking if I thought he would be ready to ride next weekend. Ask, Jason Rodgers, when we took his helmet off and were taking inventory of his injuries, he was crying and I asked what hurts...his response "I'm not gonna win"....and "my arm is a little sore" as blood poured from his nose and he staggered on his feet like a drunk man. Kid only has 1 goal on the track and really had a nice first 50 moto, taking 1st, and was in a battle for the lead in the 65cc class, as he got the holeshot.
So, the deal is this...broken bone at the growth plate. No surgery needed, all looks lined up. 6 weeks off the bike for sure, but we check back in a few weeks to see progress. Guess could have been worst, but he is really struggling with no Monster Cup appearance. He was soo looking forward to being on the line with those other 13 fast fast kids. Top 50 riders in the country will be on that gate and he wanted to be a part.
He did have one of the best years from the Amsoil AX championships, to Lorettas, Allegheny Cup, Battle of Ohio 3 race champ,....etc...etc.
Thanks to all for the kind words and support..your calls, texts, emails..etc. have not gone unnoticed.
See u all soon....AJ #37 is Jake Hall...Mitchy is #45.
