Jarrin and I went to Akron, Indiana today to race my Harescrambler and his '01 KTM 125SX in round two of the series.  My bike ran flawlessly, but blew fork seals and they started topping out and clanking so I kind of took it easy and still finished 2nd of 5 against modern bikes.  Felt pretty good about that!  My +50 race (they are 1 hour long) wasn't as good though, as the temperature got hotter and I grew tired quicker and finished 5th of 5.  Still, after the day the bike was in great shape and I'm 5th of 16 in points in the 250 class and 5th of 11 in +50.

Jarrin took 2nd in both his races and stands 3rd in 14-24 and 2nd in "Throwback" class. Supposed to be the vintage class, but any bike older that 2009 can race that class.  Not very vintage!  His bike also ran great all day.

Big thanks to Gary Ellis for rebuilding Jarrin's forks, they worked great!
