Mt. Morris, PA (5/27/2008)
- Going into
the Mount Morris, PA round we were excited that
Casey Martin finally had a motor to race. Toby
from Moto-Xperts got us the motor back quick
after parts arrived from Honda and it was broke
in on Thursday evening into Friday morning then
raced on Saturday. As always we ran with Klotz
race fuel for consistent power. Casey was also
running a JB Racing front end and swingarm with
linkage for the first time during this event.
After some fine tuning and practice he was comfortable
enough to run motos. We will finish tuning over
the next few weeks.
ProAm Unlimited
- 37 Riders
Casey came out of the gate solid around mid
pack. In turn one all but three guys were
bunched up in a mess. Casey ended up coming
out in 10th but picked off two more guys to
finish with an 8th. During the LCQ has pulled
a solid 2nd place start and held it till the
finish. In Moto2 there was a wreck in turn
two that pushed Casey back pretty far. Then
on the back rhythm stretch he got into a tussle
with another rider and ended up off the track.
He got back into the race and finished the
race with a severely bent tie- rod this landed
him a 12th place spot. His finish class position
was 11th. After two motor related DNFs Casey
is back in the hunt and sitting in 18th with
points.
ProAm Production
- 38 Riders
Moto1 of the Production class made the weekend
worthwhile. Casey was getting used to the
new bike and it proved it had enough power
to be a contender. Casey jumped out of the
gate and was in a two wide split for 2nd on
the holeshot. He held the inside on a downhill
sweeper and had to brake a little more and
took the third place spot. He held 3rd for
five of the eight laps and faded. Lack of
seat time due to no bike took its toll during
the extended Production class and two minute
laps. This pushed him into the LCQ where a
wreck in turn two would cost him three spots
not making it possible to qualify for the
main. With three previous DNFs Casey is sitting
in 26th with points.

Overall we are very happy
with the weekend! Casey made a solid showing,
his bike is finally coming together and his
spirit is strong. The new motor runs good
and we are now preparing to show a solid season.
Carrie Auchter is still having
some back issues and sat this round out to
complete a full recovery.
