Chula Vista SX/National

Hit the solo mission down to Chula Vista picked up Jrev (Jason Larev) at the airport one I got there. I was excited to ride the track.. In the beginning of the year South Africa had a training camp out there so we got to ride the track and get used to it. Practice went well on the track.. and I looked forward to Time trials.

TT

My first lap I had a decent one. I was a bit cautious around not really attacking everything like I should of. So I headed to the 2nd round of TT's. Had a poor lap 2nd round and didn't make it through.. I was bummed out but that's racing.

All was not lost. They had the ABA national the same weekend on the other track, I am still eligible to ride A pro as I have not made all my money to turn AA. I race AA at all the UCI races for South Africa so that makes me still able to ride A pro.

The track is really fun and smooth with a blistering fast gate so I was feeling good. T-Hoff (Tony Hoffman) was there looking to try get his $$$ to turn AA so I knew he was going to be on a mission riding fast as well as the local guy Tommy Vallejo. Day 1 went really good, won all the motos and semi and made it to the main event. Ended up getting the win for day 1.

Watched the SX race on Saturday night.. Probably one of the sickest races I've seen in my life with 5 out of 8 guys leading the lap at one point.. Nic Long ended up taking the win wire 2 wire.

Saturday night was a late one.. ended up with a couple hours of sleep and made my was bright and early to the track.. felt good after taking 10 hours of energy and won all my laps. Main event came around got the holeshot. T-Hoff rode an awesome lap and ended up taking the win and making the $$$ for AA.

Took a slow drive back home Monday on the Solo mission again.

Over all Solid weekend of riding and hanging out with friends!
