We started out a little rough, which had me a little worried. On Saturday he failed to qualify in the first run (JWW) but pulled out a Q in Standard that afternoon:
Yeah, he was moving so fast and we were charging down that line in Jumpers, a blind-cross just didn't catch his attention :)
We had a similar line in Standard, but it had you charging towards a wrong tunnel entrance. 3 times. Porter was correct all 3 times & earned 28 points. Yay Porter! We only needed 21 more on Sunday...
The day started with JWW again:
Oops :) Not really sure why he came out of the weaves. But he was moving! Notice I didn't do any blind crosses on that run... :)
And our last chance for those last 21 points:
Once again, I chose to not use blind crosses, instead pulling out the "Dawn Weaver brake hand" to get some tight turns :) It worked! Porter came away with 31 points, tying his all-time point record!
Now I can withdraw from the trial later this month. Although it's too late for next weekend's. so expect another trial recap next Monday :)
Hooray!!! Congratulations! :o) I look forward to the Nationals recap next year!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! 31 points in one run is pretty amazing. I think the most we've ever gotten was in the low 20s somewhere. I've still got 6 tries left to get those points.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI must confess, it is much easier to get points when you run preferred! And he simply flies over those 4" jumps :)
Yay!!! Glad he's all set for the big event!
