We were finally able to get out to the track this weekend for our first racing of the season. Now that the Bub's wrist is healed it was time to get some racing in before the big races come next month. The weather was beautiful after some morning showers and to be honest we weren't expecting much since he hadn't really been on his race bike, or a track for that matter since last year.
He ended up with a class of 6 racers, 2 were experts that were younger than him, but quite fast. The little guy in green in the photo above ended up overall 1 yesterday. Nick won his 2nd moto, and ended up 3rd overall. He was not that far behind the 1st & 2nd place riders and with a little more track time he should be even closer, if not ahea of them soon!

He is loving his new bike however and was looking really good out on the track. We are so glad to get the race season started and Nick is already talking about summer road trips with the team in a motorhome, and racing at other state tracks . His goal this year is to earn a state plate and I think he's got a pretty good shot at it, provided he doesn't brake any more bones!

The last corner. You can just see the back of the 2nd place rider. Nick ended up 3rd overall which was really great for him. A great needed confidence boost, and his wrist didn't bother him one bit which was great news.

So not happy with me taking his picture. Poor kid. That's what happens when you're a star! LOL
