We got back from California very early this morning. Mario was down at Thunder Hill this past weekend testing his new engine on the RS125. Mario got to put in some serious laps in the rain on Saturday as it rained all day on Saturday. The bike handled great, the engine was very, very strong and Mario got to test out his nerves in the rain for the first time ever on the big bike.

Mario rode great all day and even though he got a little wet on Saturday, he had a blast. Unfortunately, the track was shut down on Sunday due to 80 mph wind gusts and due to safety, no riders were allowed to get out on the track. No worries, we were able to come away form this test with lots of valuable information and settings for a wet race.

Mario had a great day of racing on Saturday.  He competed in the Oakwood Dirt Track Indoor Series on Saturday in the 65-85 Mod Class, the MadDog Class as well as the 85cc Class.  Mario fought hard, was aggressive, and determined to stand on top of the podium in each and every race.

65-85cc Unlimited
Mario had a lot of fun in the class and fought hard for his 2nd Place finish in this class with fellow racer and buddy Davis Fisher, unfortunately, Davis came into contact with a back marker handing Mario an easy podium finish for this race.

85cc Class
This was Mario's toughest class this weekend.  He fought hard and was able to get through the back markers and maintain a very close battle with the two front runners and at one point, attempting a pass for 2nd place that was close, but not successful.  Mario settled for a 3rd Place finish in this class.

Mad Dog Class
Mario was approached by one of his friends (Riley) and asked if he wanted to race the Mad Dog class (149 cc four strokes and smaller) and he said yes.  Mario got an excellent start in this class as it was also being run in conjunction wit the CRF150R class and he got into turn one in 2nd place aboard the Yamaha TTR125. He maintained 2nd place overall for 5 of the 7 lap race when he lost the front going into the last turn.  His crash caused him considerable time and he was able to catch up and finish in 3rd Place in this class.

All in all, it was a great finish to the Winter Dirt Track season for us.  Mario learned a ton and we are set and ready to being the Road Racing season which starts next weekend for Mario at Thunder Hill Park.

Mario had a great day of racing on Saturday.  He competed in the Mikey Fay Winter Flat Track Indoor Series on Saturday in the 65-85 Mod Class as well as the 85cc Class.  Mario fought hard, was aggressive, and determined to stand on top of the podium.

65-85cc Unlimited
Mario got an ok start, but was bumped off line by another rider, hey thats part of racing.  Mario put his head down and began to pass riders until he caught up to the leaders.  Mario put on some show, coming it totally sideways and making some great passes that netted him a 2nd Place finish in this class.

85cc Class
Mario did not get a good start and had to really, really fight through traffic to get to third place.  Once he caught the third place rider, Mario took just one lap to set him up for one of the most amazing passes we have seen in quite some time.  Mario had that bike so sideways, it was a thing of beauty!  Mario put his head down and went after the two leaders and was able to finish 2nd Place after the second place rider got help up by a back marker and Mario took the opportunity and came out on top.

This was the season ender for the Mikey Fay series for us as Mario will miss the last round due to testing that take place for him at Thunder Hill on February 23rd.  Mario's next dirt track race is on the 12th of this month at Oakwood.
