Talked to one of your guys today, he hooked me up with a patch and a challenge coin!

Yeah I have shaved about 6 seconds off so far but I'm still 6 seconds slower than the fastest guys. It's all good, having a blast!

My right side floorboard isn't holding up well at all. Track A has an "Eye of the Storm" pattern where I drag all the way around and it's long and fast. Oh well!

Official timed run on Track B. I was too conservative, my practice runs were quicker. It was clean though! Did so/so on my slow ride at 37 seconds. I've always sucked at slow riding. Tomorrow is Track A. I am seriously in awe of some of the riding I'm seeing down here. Certainly among the best in the country.

Our local competition is coming up in April. They are doing an 80's theme. Riders have to pick their favorite 80's music to listen to and the cone pattern is a series of video games from the time, one section is Pac Man.

Little bit of Track A practice in the dark. Again, a good 6 seconds slower than the fast guys. Oh well!

I take it your time run for track A is today? Good luck Stro!!

A lot of you guys/gals could learn some helpful slow maneuvering techniques by watching these competitions live. Video does not do them justice. Go out to one, take a lawn chair, a big chief tablet and a crayon and take notes on what you see. Then go find an empty parking lot and practice.

And for those that think it has to be done on a cop bike watch Stro here...
