Ponca City Oklahoma continued

Olly raced on Wednesday. He got a good start but had an off in the first lap. He got up and was making progress. Then at the end of the last lap his rear brake seized and he couldn't get the bike to move. When Andy looked over the bike, the clutch had burned out. So they took the bike to KTM USA's tent and they but in new clutch plates and got the bike sorted. Olly's classes were only 2 hours apart so he had another race.

In Olly's second class sadly he didn't even get a lap in. The rear brake seized again. Then when Andy looked at it again, there was a nut missing which was allowing another part to unwind and was slowly putting the rear brake on. So everyone was guttered.

Josiah had his 2nd moto yesterday. He didn't get a great start, was running about 8th and made it to 4th in the first lap. He finished 4th and was happy with his ride even though his result on Tuesday was better.

Olly had his second motos today. As he had the last gate pick he didn't get great starts but rode really well. He finished 13th and 14th.

We are now at a fun water park and will then go get some dinner.

Josiah has his main moto tomorrow (Saturday) morning. His race is 2nd up. Then we will head to Lorreta Lynn's Dude Ranch, Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. It is about a 600 mile drive (1,000 kms) and should take 12 hours so we will get away as soon as we can after Josiah's race.

If you go to http://www.mxsports.com/ the LL weekly schedule is all there.

Will keep trying to get photos posted.
