Amarillo was a lot of fun and I had a blast. We headed to Amarillo Friday and I raced the65cc Open class that night. The track was great…a really cool rhythm section and some fun whoops. I felt good on the track but there was a finish line triple that was getting in my head, I just couldn’t hit it. My parents thought I could do it but Friday night it just didn’t happen for me. I ended up with 2nd place.
Saturday was a long day….we ran practice and heats all day long and we went to eat at Cracker Barrel during the break. When we got back to the arena, the place was packed with people, the crowd was so pumped up! My Dad talked to me a little more about the finish line triple but I still wasn’t sure. Races started and I was having a lot of fun and I was in first place so on my 3rd lap I decided to go for it and I made it but I couldn’t find my brake fast enough and I fell over on the turn going into the next jump. That put me in last place but I was able to come back and take 3rd.
In the 65 open, I decided not to leave that arena without hitting it again so this time, I made it and I was so excited. That was my first triple EVER. Now, I know I can do it. I ended up with 2nd in the open class that night. It was a great weekend!
