After trying to get cody to ride one of my race sleds for a few years he finally came up and tried.
All I can say is he is a natural at it!! I think he is hooked because he called me the next day and told me that he was thinking (in bed) how if he set up the corners better he could go even faster. I know next fall when I am getting my sleds ready there will be one more sled to work on and that is more than half the fun of it.
We sure had a great time.
Here he is in action.

Haha great video Mark. Some guy local to me is selling a mint Kawasaki 340 with about 860 miles on it -- tempting.

thanks!! That was John driving. It was supposed to be a 10 lap "race" (more of a "tuning session" for the other guys, but I was racing!!! LOL), but I just about passed out at lap 8 and pulled in :oops: :oops: :lol:
What's weird is that it doesn't look like you are working very hard when watching a video or spectating, but I was literally exhausted after 4 or 5 laps. I'm so out of shape its just sadness. :thumbdown:
