West Monroe, Louisiana 

     we picked up our bikes from Kawasaki Sportscenter in Little Rock and put a couple of hours on them here at the Lost Creek Park arenacross track.  our first time out on the new bikes was an arenacross in West Monroe, Louisiana.  Patrick couldn't make it, but we recruited one of last year's team members, Tolland Weems.  Tolland is working as a model and trying to get into acting this year.  Tolland ended up with the best results getting a third in one race and a fourth in another.  Chris rode well, but ate it pretty hard over a triple.  Brock suffered from bad starts, but after some suggestions, he improved tremendously.  it was a good workout for the team.  after we got home, Brock took our suspension up to Marshall's Suspension in Oklahoma to get setup for arenacross.  we were ready to head out for Des Moines on Wednesday night.  Brock called and said Marshall wouldn't be through with the suspension until 430pm.  we loaded the motorhome and waited for Brock to arrive.  he showed about 1030pm and we threw the suspension on and headed for Iowa.
