Super cool video. With Rad background intro song. Nice job. It was fun indeed. you should try to come to the track more often next year. Then you can hang around us crazy misfits.
The only bad thing was the track was to dusty. Its not usually like that.

You still got it for just getting back from almost 15years.
This is my first year racing on a track. Not bad for a being 40.
The only setback is that if I fall, it takes longer to recover.
My wife is always telling me that i am not 17 anymore. I guess my brain hasn't caught
up to my body's age.

New rule next year...

If ya don't own it, or didn't build it, ya don't get to race it.

So than means if you kids claim one of your bikes you can't use it
Interesting point you have there i wonder what the judges will think

...you know what Karl, that reminds me. Deandre's Cruiser cam in third by someone who borrowed it. now does that mean that I will have to race my own bikes? because if it does, I'm headed to the gym right now

That's Deandre's bike on my left in the below pic, right? Pretty sure he finished first.

Here are some of my favorite pics from the day...

Thanks, Earl.

The boys and I always have a good time at The Hill.

We were all looking forward to this event, and we all had a great time. The weather was perfect, the track was fun, and the racing was hot. Not to mention all the cool bikes and all the cool people.

Building memories that will last a lifetime.
