The weekend started off with the 3 hour drive to Texplex Park on Friday for <\/p>\n\n\n\n

practice. We were able to get 3 good rounds in and I had a blast. We <\/p>\n\n\n\n

washed my Progressive Powersports Honda Talon 1000 R all up and put <\/p>\n\n\n\n

on a fresh set of Maxxis SC-1 tires for race day. It is awesome have Dave <\/p>\n\n\n\n

at the track to help and for rider support for Maxxis Tires. Great to have <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maxxis and Double E Racing supporting the series and being at the events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday Morning started off with a fully prepped and full water track for <\/p>\n\n\n\n

practice. Brian and his crew had done an amazing job of getting the track <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ready. Thank You to Brian, Blake and the Lindamood crew for all their hard <\/p>\n\n\n\n

work on the track prep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After practice it was time for the riders meeting with Brian and Tex. If you <\/p>\n\n\n\n

have not heard one of Tex ( Octane Media ) Riders Meetings please look it <\/p>\n\n\n\n

up on social media. He kills it all day long and with his riders meetings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brian brought up for everyone to be wearing their fire suits and gloves all <\/p>\n\n\n\n

time when on track. Including practice. Thank You to Axcel Sports and Bell <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helmets for keeping me protected this entire season. Grateful for them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first race up was Race 2 The 1000 LTD 12+ class. They had me lined <\/p>\n\n\n\n

up in position 1 all the way left. I got a great jump and was forced to take <\/p>\n\n\n\n

the outside option in turn one. It worked out and I came out in 4th. I made a <\/p>\n\n\n\n

quick pass into 3rd and started to push. 1st and 2nd we already starting to <\/p>\n\n\n\n

pull away and I drove as hard as I could but had nothing for them. They <\/p>\n\n\n\n

had more pace than me. I finished the race in 3rd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My next race was race 6 1000 STK 12+. Again I was lined up all the way to <\/p>\n\n\n\n

the left in slot 1. We were the third drop as the Women’s Experts and <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women’s Amateurs dropped before us. They held us for a really long time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Experts were almost coming around before we dropped. I got the <\/p>\n\n\n\n

holeshot and was out front. I pushed as hard as I could trying to drop my <\/p>\n\n\n\n

lap time and improve for my next LTD race. I had clear track most of the <\/p>\n\n\n\n

race as I only caught a couple of the girls in the amateur class. I  was a fun <\/p>\n\n\n\n

race and I was able to really work on hitting my marks and try to improve <\/p>\n\n\n\n

my lap times. I was able to find 2 seconds on the track in that race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After that race we would have a couple more races and then a lunch break <\/p>\n\n\n\n

before I would be up again. So I decided to take advantage of the Electric <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SXS David from Progressive had dropped off as a pit vehicle. We eat some <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MR. JIM\u2019s Pizza and we’re ready to get back to racing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The start of the second LTD was a mess. One drive jumped the start. Then <\/p>\n\n\n\n

the flagger threw the flag. I got a terrible start as some went on the flag <\/p>\n\n\n\n

some went when the driver jumped etc. I was in about 6th and just started <\/p>\n\n\n\n

passing. I knew I needed to get to the front quickly if I was going to win. I <\/p>\n\n\n\n

was up to 3rd by the end of the first lap. Worked my way into second and <\/p>\n\n\n\n

was pushing the chance down first.  I came into a corn and got hit hard in <\/p>\n\n\n\n

the back and pushed wide. This put me back into third. That is where I <\/p>\n\n\n\n

finished for the race and for the overall in the 1000 LTD 12+ class for the <\/p>\n\n\n\n

day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last race of the day for me was the 1000 STK 12+ class. We were <\/p>\n\n\n\n

again the third drop but the starter did not hold us as long. I got a great <\/p>\n\n\n\n

jump and was in full attack mode to try and catch the women’s class <\/p>\n\n\n\n

competitors in front of me. I was able to keep second behind me and pass <\/p>\n\n\n\n

all the amateur womens class before the checkers flag. It was such a fun <\/p>\n\n\n\n

day and a great track. Can’t wait to do it all over again in two weeks. I <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ended up going 3-3 in the LTD class and 1-1 in the STK class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
