Thanks guys! I had terrible starts both motos. I really wanted to win that race and was reeling in the leader till I stalled. I was livid. Who knows how it would have turned out, i know the leader was just coasting along but id sure liked to have found out. Ill try again the weekend after next.

Bump with s'more Swatland and his "flowing locks" of trike racery to brighten your Sunday Sunday Sunday afternoon.

Nice holeshot.

FOR PEOPLE WITHOUT TIME TO BURN, LOL, the gate drop is shortly after about 5:45 so go ahead and skip up to that point before starting to watch

I only had 3 practice laps on that track before moto 1 so I had a bit of trouble with the jumps at first. I got a little separation from #2 to words the end but he was on my butt pretty good the whole time. Definitely pushed me to do stuff I didn't want to do. Also, we ran right after the pros, they destroy the track so I was a bit cautious on the first lap. There was a pot hole that could swallow a trike that wasn't there in practice. It was insane

It started raining that evening and went all night, the track was a sloppy mess on Sunday. I threw my knobbies back on and knew I'd have a big advantage over the 2 strokes. I had a about a 20 foot holeshot, touched the rear brake to go into the turn and it stalled. I couldn't get it started right back up. Ended up catching the leader but wrecked trying too hard. Very disappointing, had to drive 6 hours home and think about it. $500 to win and it was an ATVMX national race. Haven't raced since. Hopefully I'll get back out again soon
