The series champion (396) and last year's second place both broke-out and lost their first runs.
These guys are automatic. Evey week they finish 1-2....everyone else that shows up is racing for 3rd.
It was *Hell just froze over* stuff.

Was a weird night for sure. But had fun watching the other guys race. The Big delay was a pain though, but that's racing!
 
Heh glad you guys are having fun. I'll be at sonoma for the supermoto race this weekend. Been getting the KLX ready for it the whole week.
 
Good to hear from you. Have fun this weekend and hope to see you at some Wednesday night races.
 
I did get a new bike if you saw in the general section I bought an electric dirt bike. I might run it there one night to see what it runs haha it's only as fast as my little dirtbike. It has 88ft-lbs of torque so it might be wheelie central like the KLX haha. It was so hard to keep the front wheel down on that bike!
 
Dirt bike, that means no midnight stops to recharge on the way home! lol

Haha nah no charging it's going to be a trailer it to the track thing. It's a single speed though so it'll be really easy to ride as long as I can keep the front down.

Haha yeah we'll see I need to put the stock sprocket on it first. They let me ride it today on the kart track haha it was a lotta fun sucks it tops out at 36mph though. It should be easier to ride single speed just twist and go I won't question myself if I am in 4th or 5th gear like on the KLX haha!

I suppose you could win on a riding mower if you were consistent. :laughing
Years ago I tried to organize a grudge race between my Snap-On dealer and my Matco dealer. I was trying to get them to run their tool trucks against each other.
The Snap-On dealer was all for it but the Matco dealer wussed-out.
In my mind the win goes to Snap-On on the strength of his attitude.
 
It's Wednesday race day! Going to be a little warm. Hope to see some of you out there. Best to get there around 3:00 pm to get in line for tech so you will be ready to race at 4:00. Plus traffic is always fun...
 
Dayum do they ever start later then 3 for check in? First heat at 4? I don't get off work till 5 and prolly won't showup till 6ish

Racing starts at 4pm. You can get there whatever time you want. The earlier you get there the more runs you will be able to make. Eliminations start at 7pm. You want to get as many practice runs as possible. On a normal night you would get about 3 practice runs before eliminations.

Sacramento raceway Test n Tune days have no eliminations, just practice/fun runs all day. They will have one this Saturday April 27th 12-4 pm. $50.
 
I had to go to Palm Desert (girlfriends mom was in a car accident).....had to miss last night.
After last weeks rare first round break-out festival I'm dying to know how last night shook out.
How'd you do, Joe?
 
Hope she is alright.

Another night of long delays, more on that later. Did manage to make a total for 7 runs though. I won! Doug and I meet in the semi, we both broke out, but I was closer. Than a somewhat newbie made it to the finals against me. He wheelied off the line bad and that gave the win to me.

Glad you took the win, Joe!
....and yes, I wanna hear more about the delays...(I'll ask Lindz about it too....please tell me it wasn't more of the *friends of....* bullshit)
I'll be out there next week. Looking forward to talking with you.

Off topic: Mom is fucked up will be ok.....broken collar bone, broken shoulder, broken ribs.
She's 79 years old....it looks like all of the injuries were caused by the seatbelt/airbag. (The stuff worked, she's alive)
