Starting P4 in Super Stock CR125 class, Hegar (#4) dropped out due to a wheel coming off so I shuffled up to P2. In front of us are the european shifter engines and behind are about 30 sprint stock and super stock CR125s. JG (#7) and Mike (#17) got a really good draft off the euro karts which are a bit faster and drove away from the rest of us for awhile. I caught up to JG for a little bit due to traffic but his engine was really boogieing and he was able to make a gap again, then he had mechanical issues and was forced to retire from the race. I battled it out with the rest of the Super Stocks for the lead and finished 3rd place.
2nd race I was wrecked into on the first lap and though I didn't go off track a lot of the field passed me by. Worked my way back up through most of the field but never caught the lead pack again. Managed to make it back up to 7th place. I do not have video of this or the 3rd race unfortunately, the video files are corrupted. The hit I took may have busted my camera.
3rd race nobody in the lead pack had mechanical issues and I was able to stick with Hegar, Mike, and JG for a long time. About halfway through, lapped traffic split JG and I from Hegar and Mike too much and we never caught up but I battled JG for 3rd the rest of the race. Sadly I was unable to make a pass stick on the final lap despite many tries and finished 4th. (scratch that, scoring seems to have placed me 3rd and JG 2nd, where did Hegar go?) It is really unfortunate that this video did not come out as there was a lot of excellent racing. It was probably the best race I've had so far.
