What a
nice winter break we had from racing! I don't know if
Tracy and Gary would actually agree with me; but I
enjoyed not having so much racing going on. :)
But
now the season has started back up and we're back in it
in full force! Round 1 of the TQRA 2009 Series was
February 15 at Village Creek. Tracy signed up in the
Open A class and was doing great! He got 1st place in
moto 1 and was working his way through the pack in moto
2 when his quad seized up. He was unable to finish the
race and it was disappointing, but what are you going to
do?
Round
2 was March 8 at Tracy's favorite track, Cooperland. It
could not have been a more perfect weekend for racing!
The weather was beautiful and the track was perfect. And
Dale (the owner) told me that we had a record
turnout! As a matter of fact, it was the biggest
turnout in TQRA history with 240 rider entries and 475
through the gate! That is awesome! I know I saw some
great racing myself. Tracy signed up in the Open A and
the Open Quad. He got 1st overall in the Open A and 2nd
overall in the Open. He rode his butt off on that new
Yamaha and it was awesome!
Speaking
of the '09 Yamaha, we are so grateful to K&N
Motorcycles in Tulsa Oklahoma for giving Tracy a
ride this year. They gave Tracy this quad to ride, but technically
he does not own it. It is for sale the entire time, you
can even buy it at the track if you're interested. And I
think that after this weekend, Tracy has proven that you
can go out and win on a stock quad. The only things that
were done were a new pipe and a new filter. Everything
else is stock as it came off the showroom floor! Tracy
said he even likes it better than his Honda! That
surprises me!
See ya
at the races! |
