Our weekend started with District 17 Awards Banquet Saturday night. We raced home to get ready for an early start to Keithsburg. Sunday, we had a pleasant drive to Keithsburg. We arrived to beautiful weather and perfect track conditions. Huge improvement that 3 weeks make, Racers enjoyed the track and so did the pit crews. Chris got a bad start, he was mid pack off the start and got pinched off going last into the woods. Chris ended up putting in smooth consistent laps. In the 2nd to last lap, Chris washed the front end out in a turn and costed all the hard work he put in. He put in a last lap charge to finish 22nd for the day.

AMA Dist.17 GP Chandlervile, IL
Well the 1st GP is in the books. All week they were calling for rain. When we got there the track conditions were perfect and the creeks were makeable. Special Thanks to Jay Hall from Hall's Cycles for getting Chris' WRX 250 dialed in and ready for the race. Midwest Motocross Club Inc. did a great track layout. Great mix of woods, fields, creek crossings and the notorious sand MX track. Premodern race went well. Chris' finished 2nd and Mark finished 3rd. Chris' B Class didn't go well in the 1st moto. He rear brake fade. After a little work in between moto's, his 2nd moto went better. He had better control of the bike and was able to charge. Finishing 10th place for the day.

AMA Dist. 17 Harescrambles Keithsburg, IL
The 2021 Racing Season started this weekend at Keithsburg. The day started with an interesting travel to the race. We started off with dense fog, not being able to see anything and getting to the parking lot that was a task in its self. We had an adventure just to find a spot to park. Driving through the deep ruts, water and a field of ice just to park. Chris' race started with a 1st turn crash, when someone fell in front of him and he had no where else to go but on top of him. The rest of the race consisted of throttle control, picking the right lines and a little luck. Chris made a few mistakes that costed him but finished the race strong. On to the next race!
