Vet X @ Comp Edge 6/1

Good weather for out there. Winds were clam enough to jump however I wanted. That finish line sure is a launcher. 
But no pics today cause the one was at Hangtown and the other was in my race. Oh well, my bud got a couple.
I knew this was going to be interesting cause me and my new race friend changed class' to 50+ Amateur. Figured we'd finish better and less sand bagging. Adding to the mix, we are in the same race as 43-49 Novices (1st gate) and the 36-42 amateurs in gate 3. Ya by mid third lap they caught us. Fine timing too, next thing I know I'm tryin to past a guy and three or four of them blow by in the whoops and I caught a lot roost on that one.
Also the second corner is an S shape with inside / outside lines. Sure enough a couple stack up and outside I go to clear the mess. I almost ate crap in a muddy sweeper before the step up/double/triple so I had to roll it. Finished 3rd.
Second moto I catch up to the same guy this time slows me enough that the only way I'm going to clear that step up is seat bounce it. Cool! Amazing how it helps to get over something. Had to do it on another step up last lap cause I was just running out of enery.
Well the old adedge, "Can't pass while your following" came into play. As I made that mistake and my friend took second on the last lap. Throphy for him and not enough in our class for a third place one. Oh well it was a fun day. Went 3-3.
