Since the compilation photo colors turn out all wonky - blogger seemed to do something weird because the original doesn't look like that (see previous post below), I'll post some others...

I've taken up a brand new hobby which is, unfortunately, another very expensive one. But dammit, it's worth it for the adrenaline rush!
There's nothing better than speeding around a track on a Honda XR 100 (after all the different AMRA club bikes I've tried out, the one Danard bought this summer is still my fave by far) as fast as you can, hopefully without falling down. I've managed to do it all summer without falling down...unless you count when we first bought our bike and we were testing how much idle the bike needed. At first, it was idling really rough, so we sped up the idle. Someone (not Danard) told me to rev the bike up a whole bunch and then let go of the clutch. BIG mistake...front tire wheely's, Candice falls off the back and lands painfully on the ground...while still in the pits. (the area not on the track where the racers get ready to head onto the track) Sorry...no photo of this one...
I do however, have photos of some of our practices and races throughout the summer. I've compiled a few of the best shots from the season to compare what I looked like at the beginning, to how I look now. Let's just say HUGE improvement!
We only have a few more practices and one more race :( before the season closes for another year. I plan to do some more improvements to my race form and see if I can get a little faster around the corners in the process, so I can kick some butt at the last race. I'll have more pics to post then...
In the meantime...if anyone feels inclined, you can come out to watch the last race on Sunday, October 12 at the Go Cart track just south of Race City.
That's all for now...
