Reno Season Opener!

Well here we are again! After a 6 week break we are back at it again for the 2011 Season! Reno is always 1 of my favorite races of the season. You get to see everyone and the next teams the joined and it's just an all round good vibe.

We loaded up Friday morning and began the 5 hour trip to Reno.

Practice went well. The track was typical Reno, fast with some good flow. Friday night I raced and after getting crazy in the first corner with Nic Long I ended off with a 3rd. So a good start to the weekend.

Saturday we got to sleep in for a bit. Got some grub and headed to practice. Saurday started off well getting a 2nd.3rd and a crash in the 3rd round after getting caught up in the first turn. I still made the 1/4s. I blew my gate in the 1/4 and packed it up for AA for Saturday. In Pro cruiser, I had a solid race and finished 3rd on the box for day 1. After that we headed back to the hotel got some food and got ready for bed.

5:30 wake up call on Sunday followed by some good breakfast and we were off to the track. I was determined to have a better day. In Moto's i went 1st,1st,3rd. In the 1/4s i took first, and in the semi took 4th.

I was really pleased to make the main event. I had a really good gate from 8 but the first corner was tight.. ended off 6th in AA/Elite Men Sunday and another 3rd place in Pro Cruiser!

Overall a decent weekend with some UCI points collected! Next stop is Guthrie Oklahoma in 2 weeks!
