Fiddy/Big Wheel Report

[Trip]

So I won both, so I thought I would do a seperate thread to post pics and vids as they pop up.

Fiddy Race:

We lined up with me on the second row, in the middle for a 15 lap race around the parking lot. Well one dude started to go before the drop of the flag and brake checked and that killed him off the start, then they dropped the flag and everyone went and one dude's bike at the front just didn't go off the line and he clogged the field down and I somehow manage to squeeze through the hole and took the holeshot from row 2. I led the first 5 or so laps. Then I started hearing it. Ben who runs the store was right on my ass yelling all kinds of shit to get me to turn around. I didn't fall for it. I held him up til we caught lap traffic. I got held up and he made a killer move to the inside and got by. I lost him in traffic and he was pulling away like mad. I finally made my way through and was gaining only a little bit. We caught the field again somewhere in the lap 8-10. He made a bad move to try to split people and became a ping pong. They slowed and I caught them. I knew if I didn't take this opportunity, I would have to settle for second. I said screw it and decided it was time for checkers or wreckers. I drove it into the corner as hard as I could and hit the brakes at the last possible second and took it 4 wide into the gas tank turn with me on the inside, a lapper, then ben, and the other lapper. I came out and passed more traffic which gave Ben some trouble in passing and took home the flag. It was a pretty cool battle. Wish I had it on video.


Big Wheel Race:

I have the video. I had a crash in the hairpin in the heat race. I made it through in the final.

Didn't melt any wheels off this year? I'd love to be able to do that. No place around here to do it.

I recorded over boomsday, when the camera cut out from vibration, it let the old recording through.
