Husqvarna
AA Class
Hey everyone,
Here are a few small pics I took of the bikes/canopy/van at this past weekends races. My buddy, Andy Jones who is now a Husqvarna TC 450 rider (rides Open A with me as well along with 14-24 A), is who I am traveling to the races with this year and who also owns the AWESOME van. This past weekend was our 2nd Motocross race of the season (raced last weekend but it was more of an Arenacross/Supercross race) so I'm still not expecting much after not racing a single race last year. In the +25 A class, there were 7 riders. First moto (this track has a concrete starting pad which SUCKS and the only reason it sucks is because I suck at starting on them), I got a 4th place start, passed for the lead on lap 3 of 5 and ended up winning by about 10 seconds. Second moto, I got the HOLESHOT, led the entire moto and won by over 30 seconds which felt pretty good. The Open A is when my starts got the best of me. In the Open A class, there were 5 riders. I got a last place start in BOTH motos and went 3-4 moto results for a 3rd O/A. I had the speed of the leaders in both motos but simply didn't have the starts to match them. I know if I could have started in front of them that no way could they have passed me....but it is what is. My buddy Andy went 2-1 in 14-24 (8 riders in class) for 1st O/A and 2-3 in Open A for 2nd O/A (he got the holeshot in 3 out of his 4 motos.......he never let me hear the end of that let me tell ya). Anyway, that's about it in a short story. Another weekend of racing coming up which will hopefully produce some better results as long as my starts cooperate with me. See ya around!
