·So this weekened was another race weekend in the Big Gun Winter Series at PMP here in Tucson. I didn't race the first round, but I did race the second. This weekend was round three. In my first ever race LINK I finished 5th in both motos out of 10 riders. I was very pleased with that result and I had fun.
Yesterday was my second race and I had even more fun this time then the first. In moto 1 I finished 4th and in moto 2 I finished 5th, this time there was 13 riders. Hey at least I'm consistant :thumb: . In Moto 1 I got a decent start and was 4th into the first corner. I stayed with 3rd place the whole race but I just couldn't make my passes stick. On the final lap I was dead, I could barely hold on to the bars and dropped back from the guy in 3rd. As I went around I could hear a 2 stroke behind me and just started to defend my position. The guy kept getting closer and closer, and in the final corner he tried to make his move by cutting up the inside and pushing me wide. Too bad my little 250 four stroke just had a bit more power coming off that corner then his 125. We launched over the finish jump and gave a quick peek to each other. In moto 2 I got a horrible start and was 8th into the first corner. Within a few corners I had made my way up to 6th and was right on the rear fender of 5th. The two of us batteld for 4 laps, back and forth we went. I had the hardest time trying to stay infront of this guy. When I did finally get infront of him I had to ride really hard. We came to this double and for some reason he singled it, well I jumped right over him. As I passed over I remember looking down and seeing his helmet under my right peg. It was cool as hell. As I landed and got to the next corner he tried to come up on me hard but I brake checked him and he losst all of his steam for the exit of the corner. I had finally passed him and was pushing hard to get the the 4th place rider. I just couldn't catch him and decided that 5th was good enough cause I knew if I pushed any harder I was gonna crash. All in all it was a great race day. Had fun in race 2 with the battle I had with that guy. I saw him in the pits later and we walked up and chatted for a bit. Good guy and he had fun as well.
My next race is this coming weekend and as it sits right now I think I'm in 7th or 8th in the points out of 15 guys. I really wish I raced that first race of the series. I guess I wasn't sure if I was ready to race, but now I know how fun it is. I'm hooked.
