9-8-13 For the first race back he was going to throw his hat in the ring looking for a top 5 finish in 4 Stroke A lites. He has been riding a fair amount with the emphasis on consistency; the flash in the pan thing will get you in trouble. Nice rain the night before and pretty sloppy for the 8am youth race, decent for the 10am race and real nice for the 1pm outing. Starting line was 5th row back with only 10 bikes on the line. Bike has been firing consistently with a push of the button and a kick, not sure what happened but 5 kicks later and a push start he just made it out of the infield before the next row went off; ok, he had his work cut out for him. First lap thru he was in 6th, managed to work his way up to 5th and that’s where finished; 5th in class and 62nd overall. Besides the little starting issue the bike ripped and the WER suspension was right at home. Drew was there spreading his usual cheer around the pits… It was also good to see the #1 Husky fan Norm and his buddy Bill milling around. Had the chance to talk to Derek Sorenson and Andy Jefferson, both were visiting the FAR crew.
