This is the Vet Expert class.I have only rode about a dozen times in the last 2 years so I am a little rusty. Got caught doing some following which I know better. Oh well I had a blast and must have swallowed half the track cause I was smiling ear to ear the whole time.

Well done I watched the whole thing too.  It looked like you had to slow down a few times with the yellow bike in front of you.  I kept hoping the opportunity was rise again but like you said you went to pacing.  You had a couple quick laps that looked like it was gonna happen, I think the following lap you had a slow one and that's when the blue bike got in front.  It was fun to watch, you ride very well!  That back section was yours!  That's just how the vid looked to me, Im sure the race was an awesome one.

Thanx man. Yeah I felt I was faster just never got back into striking distance. Now that I watch it I should have tried more outside lines to hopefully show him a wheel. Next time we race it will be a different story. hahaha

I liked the 350 it was a fun bike. I sold it though last year and just picked up a 250sx. Needed a change. Aaron comes out every once in a while, Steven lives in Washington and Jerry stays up in Fairbanks. I would go nuts living up there in Whitehorse. Shoot I go nuts here in anchorage. I am a desert rat.

Good video. Its obvious you have good skills and cajones but on that track I don't think you have a chance against those 450s. They just gapped you too much on the exit of those corners. Good luck.

. Yeah it was def a challenge, however I did end up winning a race so I was pretty stoked on that. It took me a little while to learn how to ride the bike like it is intended WFO. I rod 450s for a long time so I got used to being lazy. This season is going to be fun and different cause I sold the 350 and got a 13 250sx. I am sure there is going to be a learning curve seeing I have not been on a 2smoke since '03. I am anticipating big smiles. I will post those vids once racing begins here. Still waiting on the snow to melt.
