Guthrie Oklahoma Jan 28th-30th, We piled 8 people in a rented RV and headed for the Lazy E arena near Guthrie Oklahoma. After an uneventful drive, we got to our hotel about 8 hours before check in time! The wonderful lady at the Best Western found that one room was available of our 2 so we were able to get showers, grab some breakfast, and relax! Love that kind of service! Later that afternoon we headed over to the Lazy E arena, NICE rodeo arena, beautiful compound, cool layout the ABA did for this UCI/ABA event. We were all there plenty early and got some practice in, that evening I had a successful pair of successful races. Not only was I able to transfer to the main on both of my bikes, I was able to win the 41-45 Cruiser main, and took fouth in my Intermediate class, which if I remeber correctly was acutally a 28 and over class... darn kids
Saturday, was a reversal of sorts, I made main on my class bike in the actual 41+ intermediate class, and did not make main on my cruiser, darn old guys are fast on the big wheels! and sunday was darn near a carbon copy, most of the faster guys on the cruiser are jumping some of the doubles and that is where I am still struggling...
it was a fun event and I should have wrote more detail on it sooner so I would remember it all... Guthrie is for sure one of those events to put on the 'want to do annually' list!
