I just got back from Elsinore. Me, the kid and the dork, I mean dog. Had the best time in a long time. Got wet too
Just didn't have a boat. Final D37 GP race for the year. This is the first year taking over the Motorsports park which sits pretty much on the historical lake bottom. It was muddy but the dozer crews worked their asses off and made what was probably one of the two funnest tracks of the 7 race series.
But my 53 yr old ass planted firmly on my 42 yr old CZ was kicking butts and not stopping to take names. The crazy slippery mud and the deep ruts was a great equalizer and I was passing modern bikes while being passed by fast kids on 80's at times. But most of the track was sticky dustless rock free grade AA perfect dirt. Nearly every corner had a mixture of sticky dirt and small berms which were just perfect for any kind of hero cornering technique you wanted to use. And I used em all
I got to race Day in the Dirt at Glen Helen last weekend. Never done the biggest hills on my Vintage bike. That was interesting, especially when I lost my brakes on a downhill and overshot the turn by 50 feet. I considered quitting for about 30 seconds, but didn't, just rode a lot more cautious (and slow). 4 weeks from now the series starts all over at Adelanto. They are resurrecting the Adelanto GP of years past centered around the baseball stadium which will be awesome for spectators especially.
Sorry to ramble on with dirt stuff, but today I felt like a kid again. There is nothing funner on this planet than dirt biking on a perfect track. Although making the perfect pass on a water ski 15 minutes after dawn comes close. Crap now I wanna go skiing.
