Sr .Champ Onboard 10/13/12 - Twin State / Feature Race [00:31]
Onboard footage of the Sr. Champ Feature Race from Twin State Speedway in New Hampshire. Today is the Fall Challenge 2012 Special Event. We got to race on the big 1/3 mile oval, not the short oval. I thought that racing on the bigger oval was a little bit more fun than the smaller oval, since you can run wide open on the bigger oval. My Dad forgot to record the Heat Race. I guess his age is starting to kick in. I started in 3rd for the Heat Race and finished 2nd. For the Feature Race, I started 2nd. I somewhat knew that we were going to be at a disadvantage when I ran in Practice. Dave in the #5 kart and the other three people in the #11, #13 and #82 kart ran on Open Motors. I ran on my WKA Animal Motor and it was a huge mistake to run on that motor. We should have brought our Open Motor to the race, since I would have a chance at the victory. We ran well though with the WKA Animal Motor and was somewhat competitive. I possible had a chance to pull off an upset today and win with a WKA motor, while the rest of the field ran on Open Motors. Unfortunetely, on the first lap, my race ended. The #82 kart got around me going into the first turn. I had a run on him coming out of the first bend, but he cut me off on the outside line. In the second bend, he tries to pass Dave in the #5 kart and loses it. I almost successfully evaded him, but my kart got into the marbles and slammed the outside wall. I bent my right front spindle and damaged the right front tire. This is why I can ...

1998 Breeders' Cup Mile + Post Race [13:40]
Regardless of the odds it is not wise to dismiss any horse trained by Michael Dickinson. The lesson was manifested dramatically this afternoon as Da Hoss, at 11-1 odds and in only his second start after a 22-month layoff, won the $1 million Breeders' Cup Mile for the second time in three years. With a half-furlong remaining the 6-year-old gelding appeared beaten as another long shot, Hawksley Hill, pushed his nose in front on the outside. But under the jockey John Velazquez, who had never had a Breeders' Cup mount before this year, Da Hoss rallied and prevailed by a head at the wire. The final time for the race on a turf course rated firm was 1:351/5 , three-fifths of a second faster than the clocking when Da Hoss won the Breeders' Cup Mile at Woodbine in Toronto in 1996 under Gary Stevens. This time, he returned $25.20 for a $2 win ticket. Miesque, a champion in both Europe and North America, won consecutive runnings of the Mile in 1987-88, as did Lure in 1992-93. But in many respects Da Hoss's twin triumphs are more extraordinary, because the only start he made between them was a three-quarter-length victory in allowance company at Colonial Downs in Virginia on Oct. 11. Da Hoss has been plagued with physical problems since he was a foal. ''A fetlock when he was a foal,'' Dickinson said, ''a pair of bone spurs as a yearling, another fetlock in June of last year, some lameness last fall. There have been some vet bills. His groom spends six hours a day with him, massaging ...

Sr. Champ Onboard 8/26/12 - Twin State / Heat Race [02:47]
Onboard footage of the Sr. Champ Heat Race from Twin State Speedway in New Hampshire. I started last out of 5 karts for the Heat Race. The #27 kart retired on the first lap due to an engine failure. I did all right during the race, but the kart would not turn too good and I had a hard time getting the kart to drive through the corners like I wanted it to. I didn't like being behind the #7 kart, since he kep kicking sand up on the track, which was causing my right front tire to not have the grip it needs to get through the corner properly. I finished 3rd and would start 3rd for the Feature Race.

Sr. Champ Onboard 8/26/12 - Twin State / Feature Race [05:11]
Onboard footage of the Sr. Champ Feature Race from Twin State Speedway in New Hampshire. I started 3rd for the Feature and had an exciting first few laps with Peter in the #9 kart and Dave in the #5 kart. I almost was able to take the lead from Dave in the #5 kart, but he was able to hold me off. I was running in 2nd until a caution came, and I think that caution ruined my race. On the final restart, I would have to start on the outside, and I hate starting on the outside row, because it's hard to get down to the bottom without getting frieght-trianed. I was able to hold off the #7 kart and on the last lap, I had a ru on Peter in the #9 kart, but lost the kart going through the second bend and spun out. I'm not sure if I was disqualified or not, but I finished last out of the 4 karts that raced. For my first time at Twin State Speedway, it wasn't too bad. I got robbed of a possible victory and trying to get the kart to turn good.
