Race Weekend


Saturday was National One

There wasnt any body born in the same year as me they were all born in mid 1999 which in the worlds and any other race they would be in the 8s it didnt help as i had my 7th birthday a few days ago .

As we were staying with Harrison Britt i stopped in the Profile Team Awning it was great as my best mate A trains brother will is also on profile so i was playing in between motos.

Anyway i had a 1st 1st and 2nd in the final i had a bad start and went down to about 4th to the first berm came out the berm in 3rd and stayed there till the last but one straight which was a whole rythm section and just pumped past into 2nd and powered out the last berm to draw with 1st over the line.

My dad had to pay 5 dollars to view the video replay as it was that close i thought i had won ,my dad said i lost by the width of my tyre.

I was still happy as i won a massive trophy!!!!!!!!

It was a late night by the time we got home and had tea i was sooo tired .


Sunday was National Two


I had to get up really early about 0630 i didnt feel like racing today so my dad put me in the shower then i woke up.

Today was a 2 moto transfer so my dad said i needed to win to make sure i qualified for the main there were a few more kids in my class today so i was a bit nervous.

I got a great gate and won my first moto so my dad was happy he said i could take it steady in my second race but i didnt listen and i won that one aswell.

For the main a had gate 5 so my dad said i needed a good start i got out the gate 1st but unclipped going over the first roller luckily i clipped straight back in but it put me in about 5th or 6th in the first berm .

I moved up to fourth out the berm and 2nd to the rythm section near the end i flew down the rythm as i knew i could catch the 1st place rider i just caught him on the last berm and went high and came out low and beat him to the line for the win.!!!!!!(thanks Kelvin Batey for those berm tactics ).

It was great as my dad promised he would get me a psp if i won (now pay up dad )

Ill post a few pics for you to look at .

I didnt practise much as it was so hot in the motos i had a 3rd 3rd 3rd i was too hot in my race gear,my dad told me i could race in my jeans and a vented top for the final .
