Try as hard as you can to get the holeshot. Try not to go down.

Get a good nights sleep, eat good. Just stay focused, & just don't sike yourself out. Just think of it as practice… just a little more competitive and go for it. It's your first race, so just take it as a learning experiance!

thanks for all the help. in the first moto i got a dead last start and got stuck behind a really slow rider and finally got by her (yes her it was a girl) and i was to far behind the riders ahead to gain any positions. i finished 6th out of 7 in the race and was 45 seconds ahead of last and 30 behind 5th.


in the second moto i think i got a 4th place start then there was a little mound you dropped down then turned into the woods and it had rained the night before so there where huge ruts and that section was a nightmare. i came through it and two riders were down so i found myself in second i took a look back half a lap later and had a huge lead and figured i could hold onto second. then i went down in that same rut and got shuffled back to 5th (again..) oh well i still had a really good time and can't wait to go back

nice man! finished both motos and sounds like you had alot of fun! can't ask for too much more out of a first race…just make sure to have fun, otherwise there's really no point…good luck with your next race!
