I did not do very well. I'm going thru some health issues that has my endurance next to zero. But I made it to the end of the 2 hours . I think I finished around 16th With around 20 entries. Im hoping the docs can get me straight for next year. Im still going to try and hit the next two races next month. Maybe with my new suspension revalve and new cylinder plating i can do a bit better. Its only my second year riding so I have a lot to learn. But I can say my kdx250/kx125 hybrid is one bad ride. I can climb hills and go thru mud better than most new bikes. Its real tough to stop, it just keeps chugging along.

Who did your revalve? I'm in Seneca and looking for someone good locally that can set up my KX front forks and work over the KDX shock. Not sure that I want to go through the hassle of shipping out my suspension.

Roger at promotion In greer 444-7838 . What year kx forks do you have, Mine are 2000. I had him remove the o rings in the mid valve and put in a check valve like the newer ones.. it made a huge difference. we will have to get together for a ride one day. Seneca Is not that far from me.

And as far as spotting me at the races I'm usually with my brother in law. He drives a jacked up white f350 with black flames on it. It usually stands out pretty good. Looks like ill be in Laurens but probably just a spectator.what number are your boys. I love to watch the little guys run. I've got 8yr twin boys. One loves to ride his brother not so much.I hope to get him off the crf 50 and on a ktm next year.he is crazy and scares the crap out of me. And with very little suspension its tough to go fast.

8 year old on the KTM with helmet number 090. 5 year old is on the PW50 with number 4 on the plates and helmet number 088. Neither boy is real competitive since we only do a few races each year. We make it to the ones close enough to pack up and drive to the morning of the race. This is the first year for the 5 year old and Sunday was only his second race. Both boys love it and can't wait for the next one. The wife and I are contemplating picking up an enclosed trailer and trying to make it to more races next year but my work schedule (on call every other week) really hurts the chances of making many races.
