Motorsickle Races

Captain told me 2 weeks ago that this past Friday would be the coldest day of the year. I thought "what the hell?". Then he told me that Friday was the return of the motorcycle races at the Calsonic Arena in "Shebvull". I knew exactly what he meant then. Historically, when we go watch these guys, we freeze our asses off and this year was no different. We did come prepared with layers and layers upon layers of clothes which is always fun. The video below is the 125 Pros and these guys did not disappoint. I wish I had continued recording and caught the end of the race. On the video, the rider in the lead has a good bit of ground between him and second. "Second place guy" ends up closing the gap and on the final turn, never let off the gas when he crashed his bike literally on the finish line. He rode that sucker all the way down, never letting off. From where we were sitting, it did not look like he crossed the finish line, but I think he was awarded second place. Good stuff...

Good Video! Looks like a fun time, although I didn't mind missing out on the icicle part. It's ALWAYS the coldest damn night of the year when they race at Calsonic!
