I raced for the first time today Today was the first race of the season in Utah. This year is a slow year of trying to get the local racing scene back together, so only 4 races. I was riding my new to me TC250 with michelin supermoto pre-grooved slicks. They work really well in the rain Heres the video of most of the heat race:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mue2pVufgTs It was a little painful on the noggin and shoulder but I got back up to finish 5th out of 7 for heats.. Then I got the the main races. I pulled through the the pack again somehow, and by lap 3 of 7 I was in 1st!!! Then about a lap after that I ran out of fuel! I almost won my first race.. I wished I could have got video of that but my SD card was full.. There were only 7 riders that showed up to race in the rain today. 250 (expert), two 450 (beginners), 450 (expert), and a ktm 560 (expert on rain tires). Somehow, I managed to blow past all of em! It was really weird to try and pass. I've never ridden so close to anyone on the track before!
Great news! Too bad on the fuel Contrary to many ... Huskies just needs riders such as your self ....
Thanks guys! Riding the husky felt so great, Lots better than my DRZ 400. Its light, and very manueverable. I dunno about the dry track. I think I only had em in the rain because they werent confident enought to push harder. I hope I dont get beat too bad on dry track
Heres another vid from the expert on the ktm 560 This one was the main race, where i ran outa fuel: http://vimeo.com/12559004
After pushing my bike almost a mile through the woods as a kid, I dont think Ill ever forget to check it either
Thanks for the vids, looks like fun. Your bike sure has a mean pop on decelleration. Was the white bike a CRF150R ?
ya, I need to work on the jetting. Im kinda learning about it as I go... I need to lean it out some I think The White mini was a Pitster pro 150.
