This was Mike Leavitt's (#213) 1st
District 34 ride since that unfortunate leg injury he had last fall. But Mike was hard
charging all day and looked to be on the "top of his game". Carlo Coen
also surprised everyone with his debut ride on a 4-stroke
(Carlo, 4-stroke?, I was surprised!). And when the gate dropped on +30 expert for
the first holeshot of the 2004 season, you guessed it:
Off the Gate

turn
Kurt Mcmillen (#28) had a spectacular opening day and put his trusty CR250 into
the lead in most classes and taking 1st overall on his 4-stroke Honda in the 125 expert
class.

It seems that this has also been a tough season
opener even for the web camera. I
was getting a warning light on my camera warning me of a low battery condition. In
fact, I , misread the condition (no doubt because I have simply not used this camera all
winter). Anyway, it was really a "no focus" warning and it ruined most of the
pics. I'm really sorry about this as I feel that timely posting of the
results is one of the most important thing on a track's website. So next
time I will make sure that WE GETA CONFIRMED FOCUS INDICATOR before I snap any results
pics!
If anyone "local" can mail me those missing results
pages (and get to them before they are soaking wet!) I will re-photograph and post them
up. Contact me here. Would
much appreciate it!

sure to SCROLL RIGHT if you don't see the class you are interested in, when the image

Quad Pics ===> Sorry,
no quad pics. Seems that I bit off "a little more than I could
handle" riding 3 expert classes on the district opening day (and collapsed in a
friend's motor home for a while or I would not be able to ride 2nd half). I know,
"no excuses" when your only 30 years old but it caught me by
surprise. Anyway, you guys get FULL CAMERA PRIORITY next race (and not the least of
because you didn't get to ride 2nd half).

"Little
Joe Fritz" (#318) with his first District 34 Holeshot in 250 Novice
Here is Joe with perfect launch style off the gate and it rewards him moments
later with a clean holeshot. Joe then took advantage of it and led for most of the race
(and definitely with his dad's winning riding style too) and rolled through the checkers
in 2nd place. Great moment for the Fritz racing family! |
Our season opening rounds (practice and race day) were,
admittedly, not without their problems. We certainly recognize these issues and will
do our best to get back on track again for the rest of the year.
Lastly, we'd like to mention that our thoughts are with the
riders who were injured this past Sunday, particularly Doug Owen who was the rider injured
in the 2nd half collegeboy moto. We have exchanged a few messages with Doug's mom
and hear that Doug is doing well but that he was still having moments when its difficult
for him to concentrate on things properly. As all of us long time MX riders
know all too well: recovery from a serious fall takes place one day at a time and
can span many weeks before the body gets down to some serious healing. With that
said we would like to thank all of our district riders in advance for remembering to be
behind Doug during this difficult time and to wish all of you a safe 2004 season.
