equipment on it is second to
none. It soaks up all the jumps,
track bumps, erratic throttle
inputs and braking faux pas with
ease, which is a relief to me as
Harvey can concentrate more
on his riding than any worries
about the machine.
Practice goes relatively well.
The Lake Elsinore track is the
closest thing we have to a home
race, and Harvey's done a mil-
lion laps around there during
other practice days, but it's only
a few laps of warmup before
he's pulled off the track and told
the races have started.
The Mini Rippers crew we are
currently riding with has over 40
individual race classes for bikes
up to 65cc, and I personally
think they could have combined
at least half of them so the kids
get to race with someone, rather
than having so many races with
just three or so kids on the gate.
Harvey's 65cc class is race 42
and is the most subscribed event
with 13 kids on the grid, some
quick, some not so much, but all
P110
