Ok I am late on the posts
Friday had 94 motos for the National, a very small race.....
We were done very late and by the time got back showered, ate and ready for today it was late so no post!!
I got a 5th in cruiser and DNQ in the semis on 20 inch
It was a long, hot muggy day and not alot of fun!!
Woke up today and it was pretty out and the wind went away. Not muggy at all
Got to practice and it was almost empty
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
not alot of people practicing. Turns out we had 68 motos.
Well its 30+ Men at the worlds so that is the way they run it here we had 2 of the biggest classes with 26 riders in 30+ men on 20 inch and 35-39 cruiser had 15 riders. The only bigger class was 17-24 men with 35 riders. Elite men (AA) pro had 12 riders
Anyway since the race was small we were running back to back motos.... 43 in 20 inch and 62 in cruiser, plus running all 3 motos casue of low points was killing alot of guys. It was tiring!!!!
I had bad gates on 20 all day and did a 5th in the first round and a 6th in the next round so I didnt race the thrid round to save energy. Got a 2nd in cruiser first moto

and a 4th in the second round so tied for second in points at that point!!!
Got a 3rd in the final moto to make the main on cruiser, with 15 riders we ran 2 gates of 8 and 7!!!!! straight to a main but tough riding with full gates.
Getting in the main got me a slot on the USA team for the Worlds in 2007 !!!!!
Had a good gate in the main rode a tight race and finished 3rd!!!! Up on the podium!!!!
They gave out Bronze medal to 3rd, silver to 2nd and first got a Stars and stripes jersey, #1 plate and a Gold medal.
For Bruce, Scott Matual from BID won our cruiser, Moses Tilman got second
Arielle rode strong all day runnig 1st or 2nd in all her motos, However she fell over the second jump in main while in 2nd place!! Shes ok just bummed bout not being on the podium!!!
Will try to email gallo some pics to post up of the races and the place later tonight!!!
