pahusky
Husqvarna
Pro Class
Sunday, July 8th Millfield, Ohio
The race takes place in the woods and fields around the Sunday Creek Motocross track and they manage to incorporate the majority of the moto track also…
Back to the pretty standard procedures this week…nothing too unusual like Snowshoe. Biggest factors this week; the heat and dry conditions…
Didn't make it to the track until Sunday morning…
But there isn't too much to check out ahead of time, especially since it hasn't rained lately. The Penton is not one of Andy's favorite tracks and he's really never done well here.
This is one of the more open and fast tracks on the circuit with nothing real tricky or nasty…now if it had rained it would have been an entirely different story…
Set up for the race was nothing out of the usual except for hydrate, hydrate, hydrate and making plans for handing off cold Gatorade each lap…
4 Stroke 'B' lites class had 17 bikes and started 2nd row from the back.
Decent uphill starting area; tight right, tight left and then into the woods…
Off the line decent and into the first turn uneventful…in the next left someone t-boned someone and it looked like half the class went down.
Andy managed to be just outside the action, swing clear and hit the woods running…
First corner...red helmet on the left behind the yam...
1st lap thru he was in 3rd and down 1 minute to 2nd.
Somewhere on the 2nd lap he thought he had an understanding with a lapper for a clear inside shot on a left hander only to get taken down. With time being pretty tight between the other racers a bunch got by and it took a while to get back up to speed…the 2nd time thru he was in 6th with three classmates within 30 seconds ahead of him…he had some work to do to get back to where he was and the leader was checking out…
His lap times remained a couple minutes off the pace, but he was able to work his way back to finish 3rd. 1st and 2nd put in good rides and 4th was back 15 minutes…
The TXC performed as usual; without a hiccup.
He said he never really got into the groove and being that it was hot and dusty didn't help…but, all things considered, not a bad run.
3rd in class...Link to Lap Times...(3 Huskys in the top 5!)
