So i headed up to pyramid valley saturday night and entered my first ever race i was nervous to say the least. We line up on the gate in the first moto me and 4 other quads and i got second me and the first place rider battled it out the whole race i tried to pass on the last lap and hit into him and we both stalled so i came out second. The second heat was the same second place me and the first place rider didnt even have anybody even close to us. So i got second place overall in my first race im pretty stoked about that ![[http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/finish](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/finish) line jump 1.JPG]([http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/finish](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/finish) line jump 1.JPG) ![[http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/jump](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/jump) 1.JPG]([http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/jump](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/jump) 1.JPG) ![[http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/me](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/me) and pete 1.JPG]([http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/me](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/me) and pete 1.JPG) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/trophy.JPG](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/trophy.JPG) ---
