Beaver Cycle Club
Our first
District 16 outdoor race was a short track race on Saturday, May
6th. It was great to see so many friends and riders for
the first time in 2017 at Beaver. The track was rough on Saturday.
I had very good heat races in the 250cc and Open Amateur where I
finished 2nd in both. I struggled in my 505cc heat and
finished 5th. My 250 main event race was
wild. We had 13 riders and I got a weak start that
that put me in 4th place after turn 2. I
was able to successfully move up into 3rd place coming
out of turn 4 completing lap 1. While closing in on the 2 leaders,
the second place rider fell and took me out. I was able to get up
and restart the race. I had to start on the third
row and charge thought the field to finish 5th.
I also had a strong 6th place finish in a
13 rider main event in Open Amateur and finished 6th in
the 505cc Main.
