Racing Reports and Pictures

24 Hours at Starvation Ridge

This was my first 24-hour race and it was an experience! People who do this more than once are animals. Our team was named “Farm Boy Racing”. It truly is a bunch of farmers that I grew up with.

We started out with a six-man team that quickly turned into 5 after Marc crashed out in his first out and broke his collarbone and bruised some ribs. He did soldier back to the pits on his own and we only lost a lap. We soldiered on through the night, which was another first for me. The track was great, but it was below freezing. In the morning we had a chain break and that cost us about an hour and a half. We got a couple more laps in and eventually ended up 10th in the Open Expert Class.

Like I said, it was an experience. Thanks to Marc and Rick, we were pretty prepared and organized which made a big difference. And, thanks to Over the Bars Gang for putting on a great event. Everything was perfect except their radar gun. I am sure they need a new one (after my 5-minute penalty for riding too fast in pit lane). Their scoring is first class.

Would I do it again? Oh yea! Good riding, good friends and friendly dirt bike competition. What could be better than that?
