Round 8 WERA Nelson Ledges

I just finished up the final round of the WERA North Central region. Saturday was the 20 lap Light Weight solo race. I had a great race setting my new personal best lap time and breaking into the 1:14's. I knew i had a good pace and was able to put my head down and chase down the leaders early on to take the win. Sunday i knew i already had enough points to win the championship,but i wanted to try and go out with a win. I pulled the holeshot rode hard and never looked back to take the win. The next race was the Formula 2 class. I was sitting second in points. I needed to win and have the points leader to finish fifth or back to win the championship.I knew with only eight laps it would be hard to catch up to the 650's off the start. My dad told me the only thing i could control is what i do and ride hard,have fun and see how it all works out. I passed the points leader and worked my way up to second place only to get passed back on the straight away. I went back and forth with the second place rider,but had to settle for third place. I ended up second overall in points for the Formula 2 class for the season. I some exciting things working for next season.Check back soon for the details.

Round 7 WERA Beaver Run PA

I had another great weekend at Beaver Run PA. Saturday was cold and windy with rain showers on and off. I went out for the the first practice and felt good. My lap times were the same as the last time i was there. On Saturday in the 20 lap race i finished 5th on my 125 behind four SV650's. I felt if i had the pace if i could of made some passes a little sooner i could of better my position. Sunday my main focus was the 125 class. I took 1st place and took over a full second off my personal best lap time.In the formula 2 class I had some good battles with the Sv 650's and finished 4th.
