The little beginners on the 50cc mini-bikes were fun to watch, a lot of falling down - getting right back up and getting back in the race!
Some of these little dudes were actually getting air when they went over the rise at the finish line. They were also fun in the
winners' circle interviews , e.g., "what were you thinking about during the race, did you know you were winning?" "no, I was just riding, riders were
falling all over the place but I just kept on riding," or, "is there anyone you would like to thank, like your sponsors?" "no, I don't have any sponsors"
(reckon his parents have bucks).

Thanks are in order to Rachael of the Sleeptrain Arean Security staff for helping me find the registration booth and the event offices, and,
to Mike of the AMSOIL AMA Arenacross for help in securing my Media Pass. OK, so there you have it - bad weather is no excuse for not having
motorcycle fun - check out local events and rock on.
