Fifth place this weekend. She had a 4th in the points but The Mouse did
not want to win that way. We had the video tape that showed that Katie
came in slightly ahead of her, even though the score box had them
transposed. We brought it to the Judges attn. and they took the spot
away from The Mouse a put her in fifth.. No problem. The Mouse is coming
with a vengeance.
Saturday Christina and Katie had her by nearly a lap.
It had been raining for days and rained all night so they didn't get the
track ready till noon and it was a foot of mud and chunk. This gives
the other girls a huge advantage with bigger tires and their 250's but
Sunday the track was beautiful so The Mouse went crazy.
Her first
holeshot was wild with the front wheel boucing off the ground in 30 yard
intervals all the way up the first hill, she does have a huge holeshot
most times anyway. Unfortunately in the first moto a kid on a 250 swam
up the hill next to her and took her out (honest racing accident)
but she kept the bike running and churned up up the hill. She never
really recovered but finished the moto, pissed as hell, but finished.
The track was awesome Sunday. There was this great straight where
she had that bike moving faster than she ever had before. She had fifth
tapped in that straight most of the day. She almost cleared an 80 foot
jump but came up short, held on though and rode it out.. Sunday she
closed the one lap lead down to a half lap in the first race, and a few
hundred yards in the second crunching inside lines until she had them
down. Our friends see her coming, it's kinda' cool. The girls are all
kinda' excited, but the dads are really showing fear in their eyes. I
think the dad's are more worried than the girls. The Mouse thanks me all
the time for not being a "track dad".
Our team mate Mike B won his first race of the season, it was a great
race too on a makeshift track because Saturday the smaller bikes (65
class)would not have been able to run the big track.. Although we are
basically first year racers, they are getting to know us all pretty
quickly;)
I think The Mouse is in 5th or 6th place in the point standing, out of
about 20 girls...
Hope you all had as great of a fourth as we did, gotta' go clean the gear.
Rowdy Mouse Racing, do you hear that? it's coming... do you hear it?

Awesome! Congrats to the both of you, and be sure to extend my
congrats to The Mouse for how she handled that judging error. Kudos.
She's could make a hell of a road racer someday!

Holy crap... How much does that cost??? <snerk>.. I kinda' snickered
when I read that but then I thought for a second.. "I bet she would be
all over it"... Then I just got scared on soooo many levels;)
Anyway, thanks for all the comments and support. This was an altering
weekend, she took on a whole new attitude last week when one of the
faster girls came to our home track, beat her, and her dad started
talking smack;)
We will see how things go.
Rowdy Mouse Racing, I must admit, I hate the smell of race fuel;)
