Saturday was Mike's first race of the season in Kimberly. We drove down to Twin Falls LATE Friday night. (we left our house at like 10:15pm and checked in our hotel about 1 am!) Saturday morning we had to be to the track by eight o'clock so Mike could register and practice.
For some reason, they started a little sooner than we thought they would. When we got there at 8, his class was already done practicing! He had to hurry and get ready so he could jump in and practice with another class. His bike didn't want to start...the battery was dead, so he had to jump start it with his truck! haha! It wasn't so funny at the time though. I was hoping we hadn't driven all that way for nothing!
When they put the order of races out, Mike's was number 18 out of 20! I had a feeling it was going to be a looong day. For those of you who don't know much about motocross, everyone races once, there is an intermission and then they race again. Mike raced for the first time around one o'clock. We had fun watching a lot of the other races while we were waiting.
The weather was actually suprisingly nice and sunny, but windy as always!! I was prepared for snow, but very glad we didn't get it. It started to rain a little bit just as Mike was getting ready to race his last moto of the day. Perfect timing! His last race started at about six o'clock!! They race about six laps, so it takes less than ten minutes for the race. We had packed everything up before he raced so that he could just put his bike in the trailer and we could leave. I hadn't planned on being out there that long, my snacks were running out and I was getting hungry!!! :)
Here are some videos I took of my amazingly fast husband!! Keep in mind, I'm no professional and it's hard to keep up with him when he's going so fast..............
And here is Mike crossing the finish line on his last race. He took second! Way to go babe!! I love you and I'm so glad you decided to start racing again!
