Last Saturday was my second time back racing since I dislocated my shoulder two months ago and I decided to go to Glen Helen for the usual REM race that takes place about 48 times a year. It was a good surprise to see the entire Mx Heaven crew showing up with all of their riders from overseas (Sweden, England, Ireland). Motocross Champion David Vuillemin also decided to join us on his brand new MDK Honda and it was a great honor to be able to talk to him, but most importantly, it was a great honor to be able to, for once, race with him.
Practice went really well and the brand new REM track was a lot of fun. It was both technical and fast, and some of the jumps even were a bit challenging. I went there with a clear head, just ready to get some riding done, and was riding a brand new Kawasaki 450, which I am barely just getting accustomed to. Also, since I have just gone through some injuries, I lack a bit on the fitness side and I really need to put some hours down so that I don't get tired right away. Nonetheless, I was pleased to just be out there, and could not have been any happier to get both holeshots. In the first race, I lead for about two laps until David went by and left winning the moto while I ended up in second place. Swedish rider Bjorn Anderson got third while REM legend Tony Amaradio took fourth. The second moto's scenario was very similar to the first one except that I went off the track once and down a couple times. I still managed to take third and am satisfied thusly. The guys from Motocross Action Magazine were there as well and wrote a little summary of the race that you can check right here . Overall, it was a good day of riding and learning, and quite a satisfaction to pull a couple holeshots. I am going to practice twice this week: Wednesday in Lake Elsinore and Thursday in Glen Helen. Also, I will be racing the Pro/Am Race on New Years Eve at the Glen Helen Racetrack .
Finally, just go and check David's entry on the Race here
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
