race results

i had a great birthday on saturday. i raced in memphis at the arenacross. here is the story.

the first race i got a bad start. i was running in the middle of the pack. the track was really crowded with 13 riders. in the 2nd lap i fell down in a turn as i hit another rider. i got back up and started racing but i was in 12th place. i really didnt want to finish next to last so i hit the gas. i rode much faster than i have before. i started passing people and making progress. i passed 2 guys in the air on a jump. i could actually look down and see a guys helmet right by my foot as i was flying about 40 feet thru the air. i could have touched him with my boot. it was crazy. on the last lap i split 2 guys in a turn and passed them both to finish 4th. i was happy with it. being able to fight my way thru the pack from 12th to 4th was good enough for me.

before the main event race saturday night, auny came to memphis and brought a truck load of friends. as i was on the starting line they held up some big signs for me. it made me feel good. as i was racing i could hear them scream. anyway, i had a better race finishing 3rd overall. as i went to pick up my trophy my friends surprised me with a birthday celebration in the pits. i was so happy to get some gifts and cards. i even got some chocolate from my favorite place.

i had a great birthday. i raced my dirt bike, ate chocolate, and hung with my friends. what more could i ask for??!!

Sounds fit just for you Brock :-P I'm amazed at your riding skill. When I first saw your show I just thought you liked motorcycles, not actually can do anything you want with 'em :-P

Glad you had a great one! See ya' in Georgia sometime.
