The double header at Fox valley started off with a change of plan. Mark ended up Friday midday driving down to meet up with Jarred to pick up Chris's WRX from Hall's cycles and to give Jarred his WR. After getting a late start we finally made it out to Fox valley for the 1st camping trip of the Year. The GP on Saturday was a fast flowing track and it was groomed prefect. Chris put in a solid 2 motos in the B race to take 6th for the day. In the Premondern class Chris was back on his freshly tuned 85 WRX 250 by Jay Hall from Hall's cycles. Chris took the 1st moto to get comfortable on the WRX. He was able to keep the 1st place rider in his sights to take 2nd for the day. Mark's day had him running his 250 for the 1st time for the year and had a blast running on it. He ended up taking 3rd in Premondern. Sunday was the Hare Scramble and we were told that the course was going to have more single track and more technical sections. They started the Morning race for Vintage and came to a bottleneck at the bottom of one of the hills. Both Chris and Mark had to work their way out of that to get back on track. Chris put in a smooth race to take the win and Mark ended up 2nd on the day and had a blast on the course the Ward family laid out. Chris’ B race started off with an awesome start 2 nd off the line. 3/4 into the 1st lap he ended up grabbing too much front brake going down on a downhill allowing the whole class to go by. He was able to mount a charge back to 9th. After a long few weeks and not being able to put in the work, not too bad. Overall we had a great time racing on a perfect course for 2 days and hanging out with great friends. I would like to give a shout out to Mark and Jarred for getting Chris the right vintage mount for the weekend. On to the next race!
