I don't know about everyone else, but I got really choked up when we had our "Moment of Reflection" at 1pm in rememberance of all of the folks that died on 9/11. It was exceptionaly appropriate that our "First Responders" sounded their Siren for that moment, to me that signified the FACT that the United States of America will NEVER GO QUIETLY!!! We never back down from problems or attacks!!! We will ALWAYS defend ourselves!!!

 

The day started out really good, the track was great, temperature perfect and NO RAIN. We raced the entire first Moto with hardly a mishap, EXCEPT Guy went down hard over the five-pack. He said he had been wanting to try the triple for awhile. Today was the day, he didn't get the hole shot, but he did pass Jamie through the whoop section. I am guessing he figured if he was to stay in the hunt for the Moto win he had to do the triple. It DID NOT go well for him, he hit the throttle a little too hard and got the front wheel too high. Picture to Follow! I have a new page of pictures coming soon. Guy has been moving a little slow since he hit the ground, but I think he is on the mend. The day got worse after the second Moto started; THE RAIN CAME!

 

Just so everyone is aware, the final results from the OVMX series at Wildwood have been posted on their site. I will have the updated results of all ten races posted by the end of this weekend, with the best of eight posted at the bottom of the OVMX Points Standings page. As far as I can tell, the results for the nine races I have posted are now correct. As soon as I get the last race and the best of eight, the awards should be presented by Brent Winland at Wildwood. Hopefully he will post the date soon.

 

There were new racers at this race. In fact a little guy by the name of Ronnie Dentz won the 50cc (7-8) Race Bike class today. Welcome to Fly MX, I hope you will be back.

 

Cole Masten made a good showing of himself today. He rode in a class with the "Big Dogs" and hung right in there with them. If you don't know what I mean by "Big Dogs", I mean Billy Burton and Cody Longwell in the Open A class. Cole rode in the 250cc A class. Speaking of the "Big Dogs", if I haven't said this before, Cody Longwell is without a doubt the best mud rider to ever make laps at the track. He makes riding in the mud look SO EASY!

 

It was good to see Rob Visnic back on the track, he looked good out there, now if we could just get Billy Goske, Rob Visnic, and Ron Raber on the track together, we could get our D class rolling again 

 

The season is winding down quickly, we only have three race weekends left for this year. If you get the chance, check out our new Sign-Up Building. We should be moved into it by this weekend.
