I participated in my first state quailier race tonight at they Mayes County BMX track in Pryor, OK.  It was my first time to travel to a new track and then compete on it .  It was a shorter overall track than my home track with much tighter turns  I really enjoyed getting to race somewhere different.  I love th chance to get to meet new people and make new friends at the races.  At this race, my main competition was a boy named Maddox who came to the race from Springfield MO area.  We had fun hanging out between the races.  In the first of the 3 races I took first place and it was exciting.  In the seconds race Maddox took first and I took second. So it all can down to the third race, I got s little wild on the first turn and went higher than my usual path and it threw me off so I took second but gave it my best effort.  I think a second place at my first ever OK SCR is a great accomplishment.  I am hoping to go to the Yukon BMX track next week to compete in my second qualifying race there.
