flat track race

[okieRrider]

Hey guys, Destin my son, raced in his first flat track race for this season last night. I had to put him in the youth 85cc mod class because of the pipe and clutch work. There was only him and another kid in the class and the other kid happened to be on a Blaster, don't know why he was in there, but as you will read it didn't matter. The heat race he was beat but no to terribly bad, the blaster beat him by a few bike lengths and I was impressed by the 80 to say the least. When the main rolled around, I told Destin to mash the throttle as soon as the flag drops. He did that, got the hole shot, and that was all she wrote. He lead the whole race for 8 laps and pulled away from the other kid and wiining the race. He got a good size first place trophy and he and I was ecstatic as you will see by the video. The video is dark but you can tell them apart, Chris
