Racing Del Vale April 5th!

Report on ADV race! First I would like to say these pictures are my son in 2007. He now lives in Reno and comes and visits every once in awhile. If you would like to see pictures of the race go to ADV Championship Series 2009 . On page 17 and 22 you can see me doing improper technique. That is why I am so slow! This track was perfect Sunday except for the lousy wind. The only thing I did not like about it was that I suck (that is why I don't have pictures of myself in this post). I really wish ADV would consider having some level races like Cross Creek due to the promotion of competition with all level of riders. I raced the 50+ class and there were only 3 of us. Both riders are expert level riders. They raced in the same moto with the 30+ and were just as competitive. By the first corner I was racing by myself. With-in 3 laps the 30+ riders (first gate) were already lapping me. Thank You Jeff Kent from 35 North Honda Kent Mororsports for letting off the gas after passing me and giving me something to try and beat. My second class was the MX Novice class. I really did not belong in that class because they also were gone after the first turn and it was a pretty good size gate. I should have ridden in the beginner class but I am not a beginner. The beginner class had 25 bikes on the gate. To me that is a pretty large beginner class and most likely 1/2 of those riders were Novice level. What is the answer for me? Get faster and twist the throttle more or just suck it up and have fun. ADV is fun track and I like it allot but.......... If I had a choice between a level race and an AMA sanctioned race, it would be a level race. This would also be the same answer if ADV was having a level race and Cross Creek was having an AMA sanctioned race. I just leave a level race with more satisfaction. These commits are from an old and slow guy. If I would have started motocross when I was a youngster in my 30's vice 42 then I may have different feelings. The last thing I want to write about it that ADV rocks as far as a track goes and Dennis has done a great job. I just wish he would try a level race.
