2011 Race Season Begins!

First big track practice of the season:  Saturday April 2nd and Dad has to work.  Motocross Boy was worried but...mom to the rescue!  Dad packed up the trailer and had it hitched and ready to go on Saturday morning and off we went to Portland.  No mishaps getting there or even parking.  Getting the bikes out of the trailer proved a little challenging since none of us knew how the tie-down straps worked but we figured it out.  And then we had a little problem with bikes starting and staying started, but that was quickly resolved too with a little help from a friend. And then it was SPEED all the way as Motocross Boy quickly found his grove in practice and improved his times every lap.

Not a great hole shot but it's just practice - on the far right.

Just behind the two fastest guys - they are in a different class.

Catching a little air.

There had been a lot of rain but the bulldozers did a good job cleaning up the track and it was in good condition.

You can just see the tiniest hint of green...

My heart doesn't stop so much when he does this any more.

And Motocross Boy is finally getting his turns down better!
