Well, start with a good drive to Reno and stopped at a friends house. We went to the world rib cook off at the nugget and they were good. It was a little warm and lots of people but worth it, good ribs. Left Sat. morning at 6 and got to Fernley around 7 and waited till 11 before I even got to practice.
The track was rough by then but still fun. All the jumps were tables and some were actually pretty large. Here's the kicker though, winds were between 20-40 mph all day. Getting tossed 5ft left to right in the air ain't cool. It was hotter than hell Sat and windy too, sand storm kinda shit. Sunday was like 20 deg cooler with a little more wind. So......... racing was good, had 6 in my class for Sat and only 3 on Sunday. 2nd in every moto, one guy had my number and just out cornered me. Sand is real different and I need to ride in it more. Corner speed is everything and takes some getting used to. My Dad probably rode his best race to date. In his last moto he was running 2nd and had quite a lead on the points leader, about 4 laps in though started fading and got caught on the final lap. Good job Pops, he getting faster every race, at 63 too
The Burning Man was that weekend too, the cars and people I passed on the way home, WOW. That's another subject completely. The next and final race is at Glen Helen Oct 4-5 I believe. We are going to try and make that one too

Props to dad. I guess the jetting was good.
