Ok cowboys and cowgirls, time to pony up! MX547 and I have been hording all the fun racing at River Valley MX this summer. The final round of the Six Gun Shoot Out is August 19th. It would be great to see some more of the Heartland Spodes or the North Texas Smack Pack show up to fill out the Plus 30 and 40 class. The track is very safe, fast and fun. Practices starts at 4 PM, racing at 6:30 PM.

well, i was the only spode that showed up. this heartland spodes flag gets heavy carrying it by myself all the time. ;)
the overall turnout was very good. the track got really dry and dusty during practice. before the riders meeting, they really poured the water to it. of course, i got scheduled with moto 3. it may have been the first time ever i didn't want to go early. there were five of us in 40+. i got a third place start. some sections of the track were like ice. i rode as hard as i could without risking death due to the conditions. it's a weird feeling going over a rhythm section of fourth-gear tabletops with your back tire sliding out about six inches--every lap. another rider passed me on the third lap and i ended up fourth. i was about ten seconds behind the leaders and a few bike lengths behind third. i was completely covered in mud/roost.
there were 17 motos scheduled. a lightning storm started moving in about moto 10 or so. during moto 14, the lights went out. the lightning went away but a light rain stayed behind. after the lights cooled off, they turned them back on and started racing again. the track was so slick they just ran two lap motos and finished out the first set. they ended up canceling the second motos alltogether. i was glad (especially since i had already changed and loaded up.) i ended up third overall in the series.
next saturday is a regular race and the series awards presentation. they will also draw my name as the winner of the new bike. this time, you guys should all show up. it's a fun track when it's not overwatered. wait, you woods guys like mud! it's a very beginner-friendly track, albeit a fast one. there is not a double on the track, all tabletops and singles.
dwreck, no excuses. there was a guy racing a gas gas in 250 beginner.
