RACE DAY 1&2

Race day #1 started off great for the first couple hours. Colt was having a great time and the bike was looking good. The weather changed completely and it started raining pretty bad. At the following stop colt told us he broke off his foot peg along with the mount for the kickstand. Joe and I rushed back to the Paddock and met colton at the soonest place we could (about 4 hours later). Colton got it all changed and ready to go, losing about 11 minutes all together. Everyone was amazed that he only lost that amount of time, considering that he was riding without a peg for quite awhile.
We came back to the house, went in the Sauna, ate dinner then went straight to bed. Pretty exhausting day..


Race day #2. We started with an open book and positive mind today. Impound and mechanical work was great this morning. We switched out a few parts on the foot peg and sent colton on his way. About 20 minutes later the clouds come in and it started to pour and doesn't really let up the entire day. the first couple checks went great. super muddy and wet everywhere. the following stop colton was running a little late because he completely drowned himself and the bike in a mud puddle.. after taking care of that he was able to keep on schedule the rest of the day. Ending up with a total of four minutes behind. Tomorrow is a new day and a new course! Hopefully the rain lets up a little...




No one can touch coltons bike or the parts except for him
