well, just got back from my first race on the 450r. And I went out for practice, running awesome, I was clearing all the jumps on the track. got it back to the pits, put a little more air in the shocks, slowed down the rebound a few clicks and waited for the first moto.

went up for the fist moto, had the 11th gate pick out of 16 quads I got a horrible gate... but I still came out 2nd, then got bumped and fell back to 4th. I finished the moto with an easy 4th. if I was in better shape I could have easily too 1st or 2nd...

I went back to the pits and everything was awesome!

second moto came, and I had 4th gate pick. I got the best gate there that day, gate dropped, I got to the first turn in in close second then the guy cuts me off. and everyone behind me ran into each other. and the guy right behind me got tangled up with me... we got untangled as the whole field was about to lap us... (I was thinking FML lol) so I just messed around for the rest of the moto....

got back to the truck to find out I gotta buy a new exhaust now.... the can is totally flat from him hitting it....

ill get pics tomorrow
 
here are a few pics from practice, ill post the rest once they finish uploading them...

The weekend sucked. First race if the season today. Lost my end cap an packing to my exhaust at the first woods section. Kept goin. Got to like 4 th In the last mc section almost done with the first 5 mile lap and my chain falls off. Carrier bearings went and bound up the chain between the swinger and sprocket. Broke a tooth off the sprocket to.
