my first race back in '07: carnage pics

[Skully25]

a guy sent me some pics he found from a local race back in '07. it was my first ever competition and conditions were, well... interesting

for the record, in heat race 1 I went down every single lap . heat race 2 was more fun, track marshals finally got the hint that the little piece of tarmac right after the offroad section that was covered in en inch of mud could use some cleaning up, so they got a little dozer to scrape away the dirt which helped A LOT!

at the end of the day I needed 30 minutes of constant jet washing to get all the hardened mud off my bike. my catch can was lost in a big chunk of dirt

That's hilarious!

I think Skully is #104 at that time. I love that 1st pic...number plate is all wacked out..guy right next to you trying to start his bike...classic.

All of us...our first race as newbs..we had no idea of what was proper and what wasn't. We just went out there.

lol, I'm #104, I'm still riding my old 450 in those pics, boy was I glad I had e-start

aint no way....get the knobbies out

don't think knobbies would have helped there. it's actually a ordinairy road with mud on top of it, basicly making it slick as ice, the bike just slid out right from under me

LOL...that shit ain't fit for SM tires!!!! Reminds me of an MX race I ran where it had been pouring for a few hours. Even with the knobbies it was hellish...I pulled 2nd place (which was a huge feat for me) ...I think me and the winner were the only ones who didn't go down at some point (...another rarity in my case).
