MX National Red Bud

With only a week in between the last GNCC and This round of the mx I headed to Indiana for the week to help prepare a race bike and do a little bit of training.

With this being my first national in the US i was excited and looking forward to going out and trying to qualify and score a few points.

After getting to the track and walking around I was pretty impressed with the whole scene at Redbud,

On Saturday after the first practice I finished up a little tight and I could only manage a 30th fastest time which i wasn’t to happy about but i was sure i could improve on.  Second practice was better for me and i loosened up alot but only managed to get 28th fastest giving me 28th pick of the gate.

The first moto was lined up and I was pretty nervous, i got off to a decent jump and rounded the second corner in about 20th.  I went back and fourth most of the moto and also tightened up a little but finished up in 20th, scoring one point.

The second moto i got an even better start and came around the second corner in about 10th, with the pace of the front guys i was slotted back to about 15th on the first few laps, at about half way i caught my foot on a rut and i tweaked both my ankle an knee pretty bad, after that i rode pretty steady and dropped back to 28th.

Overall Im pretty happy with how the weekend went, I would have like to have scored points in both motos but for my first MX  i guess it was ok.  I now have a few weeks off and im going to try and do the Unadilla and Steel City MX in the break also.

Thanks to everyone who has supported me and helped out.
