April 20th Dow City 2

Another cold and wet Sunday greeted us at Corral Raceway on April 20th.  Broc thought he could use a holeshot device to help him with his starts.  We decided to have Broc race in the 85 Open class to test his skills against kids 2-3 years older.  After working for an hour or so trying to attach the "Tamer Holeshot Helper", we finally had it ready for Broc's first 85 Jr. moto.  He holeshot and won this moto, but only had one race between the 85 Jr. and 85 Open class.  Broc basically got beat!  "These guys are fast", he said after the race.  He went out and won his second 85Jr. moto again, but wanted to do better in the Open class.  After a long discussion about where he thought he could pick up some speed, he decided if he got a better start, he might be able to hang with the pack.  So, the second moto of the 85 Open class Broc surprised everyone and holeshot then led for a few turns.  Broc is learning a lot in this class, one thing is that they get physical and will push you wide to get by, something Broc hasn't dealt with before.  All in all, it is teaching him that being fast doesn't mean you always win.
