Last 2024 race weekend for me...

Chillitown Practice Saturday and Race Sunday
Click to expand...
CTMX was packed!
It was a beautiful weekend and their program ran timely

238 racers Sat and 748 Sunday

Sat practice was deep, wet, and rutted everywhere.
Sunday was dry (yet not dusty). Some of the corners had deeper ruts with braking and acceleration bumps.
3 classes had over 40 entries and had qualifiers. 2nd motos were cut to 3 laps.
60+ had 6 entries due to the addition of Mike Morgan.

The tough part of the age classes is being at the opposite end of those entering.
I'm hoping Santa brings me some additional speed and skills for Christmas!
 
Ctmx was packed! Biggest local race of the year. Got p8 overall in open A out of 19 should have held off two in the final Moto but couldn’t. Then p4 overall in collegboy out of 24 due to first Moto score not being good enough. Great to have good competition and only being an hour from home. Felt like I rode good all weekend besides a minor crash on Saturday. Track was a little weird Saturday just how it formed. Sunday I thought was great. It got gnarly but it never got unsafe gnarly. Big chop and breaking bumps but for not prepping all day but here and there really quick I think it held up good. Unfortunately got cut to 3 laps in second motos but is what it is gets dark fast. Honestly I think to cap the year off next year for this event it should be a triple crown with the three Moto format I think that’d do great to cap off the year just an idea and everyone would get home at a decent time Sunday and have all there laps!
 
Went down south to Athens this past weekend and did a JXC enduro. My first enduro, 2 hours on a 8 mile course. Lots of elevation, some single track and a nice grass track and 3 creek crossings. I ran 30+vet class, grabbed the holeshot and ran up front most of the race until i high sided in the grass track. P2 out of 8 in class and 15th o/a out of 85 racers.
 
If you live within of few hours of Tri City there is no reason to miss this. This track can’t do much more for the racers.

Ended up at western for the benefit. Good turnout for the cause.

Deff got in the way of some A/B class guys and then tried to tail some members to find the right lines. Those guys go fast there :)

Lil pape giving me the lookback as he's still on the throttle :oops: ... Kindly saying, move over pal.
