Race Story 4

May 16th, 2010

I am really sorry this story has taken so long. I started a new job the next day after the race and I have been very busy trying to get everything at work (paperwork) completed. Also, I had to go out of town this past weekend, so I haven't had much time. Anyway, I hope everyone had a good time and can forgive me for being so late with this story.
 
Boy did you see Nicole Hays ride this past race. She definitely found a new gear! She was really flying! I understand Guy worked with her some and it made a huge difference!!
 
Chance Postlewaite and his Dad, Mike raced at the track this weekend. Unfortunately, things didn't go well for them. It turned out that their classes were combined into one moto. When Chance attempted the triple in the five-pack, he didn't make it and went over the bars. In addition to that, Mike, his Dad came along and either hit him or his bike, I couldn't tell from my vantage point. I thought one or both of  them were going to get a ride from our friendly E-car driver. As it turned out they both walked away.
 
Ricky Crosby was really flying in the Quad Junior class today, not only did he win but he had a 3/4 lap lead by the end.
 
We had our very own version of the "Family Feud" at the track today, the only thing missing was Richard Dawson. It was the the Longwell's and the Burton's playing for all of the marbles (or at least the trophies and the money). We combined the 50+ and the Open A classes and Guy Longwell and Jamie Burton ride in the 50+ class and their sons; Cody and Billy ride in the Open A class. It was a very entertaining race to watch.
 
Once again Steve Glendenning is burning up the track, he won the 125cc and 250cc School-Boy Classes and took third in the 250cc C class. Gavin Shaver is in line for a Championship trophy in the 250cc C class if he keeps going, he won that class today! Chase Brown came in second in the 250cc class, he seems to be catching a new gear out on the track, I see some new found speed!
 
Austin Legg looked good in the 65cc class today, he got a pretty convincing win!! Jim Roth came in second and Jacob Visnic looks like he is starting to get used to his new 65cc bike, he is kind of between classes and it is a big move to go from a 50cc to a 65cc bike. Ian Carpenter is also looking good on his 65cc bike. We have a good crop of riders coming up in this class!! 
 
Wiatt Blake hit the winners circle again today in the Quad Amateur class, Great Ride! That puts him in second overall in the standings! Michael Bragg is our current class leader, but the points race is tight after five races, only 8 points separates the top three riders. The two race weekend on Memorial Day could give someone an extra boost into a decisive lead. We will have to see how things unfold.
 
Travis Brown was at the track today and as usual he was putting in some blazingly fast laps. He is without a doubt the fastest quad rider to ever circle Fly MX Park!!
 
It looks like Brandon Smitley and Joel Hatfield are going to be "duking it out" for the Quad 80-110cc class Championship this season. Right now Joel is in the lead and Brandon is giving him a run for the money.
 
It looks like we have a GREAT Saturday/Sunday on the way for the Memorial Day 2-Race weekend! I hope everyone is "Ready to Race" (to borrow a line from KTM). Don't forget: We eat, sleep, ride, talk, breath, dream, live and love MOTOCROSS!!! See ya "AT THE RACES"!!!
