Sitting in the airport in Tucson, for the trip back to WI.

The races went pretty well. There were 14 bikes in the Asphalt class, and he finished 3rd in both races the first day and 3rd and 4th the second, for 3rd overall in the Asphalt Pro Class. Battled mostly on-track with a Ducati Hypermotard SP that won the Asphalt Amateur Class.

The Ducati team was a social media monster, with cameras and video of every move on and off the track. Lots drone footage as well. The rider is Parker Pitman, on Instagram I think (looks like it may be facebook), but I don't really do social media. Most likely race footage of him will include my son on the X30 Honda CRF450R.

The track was pretty slick in spots, and his "roadrace" knee-down style didn't work as well as the foot-out, back-it-in, "dirt" style.

He's already eyeing up a new bike. His '13 CRF450 just doesn't have the power of the new KTMs.

I'll post a couple photos when I get back.
