Taylor Kiser is currently
leading the XC1 points standings

Morganton, NC (3/27/2009) - After
a solid performance at round two I headed home and
continued training in preparation for Steele Creek.
We arrived at the track early Friday; I spent some
time catching up with friends, made a couple last
minute checks on my machine and saw some of the
course that evening. I felt ready for this round
of racing and was eager to get things underway.
My Yamaha got me a great jump off the line! I rounded
the first corner near the front of the pack. I quickly
maneuvered myself into fourth place as the pack
hit the woods. Passing in the first lap proved to
be difficult in the mountainous terrain. I found
a few new lines and took advantage of the large
field section at the end of lap one. At the close
of lap two I had moved my way into second place
behind McGill. We had a good pace going when I hit
the mud hole after the bridge and got stuck. It
took me some time to get out which cost me at least
five or six positions.

After getting stuck,
Taylor had to battle his way back up to
fourth place

Again, I had to charge forward. I made up the
ground that was lost in the mud hole by the white
flag lap I had moved into fourth place behind
Bill. As we entered the last field heading towards
the checkered Borich and I had an intense battle.
As we rounded the last turn I edged him out. Ending
up fourth on the day I was happy to salvage a
fourth place and move into the points lead.
After three rounds of racing I am happy to have
the points lead, however, I will not take any
time to unwind in between rounds as I intend to
put my Yamaha back on the top of the podium. I
am anxiously awaiting round four as we head to
Union South Carolina for “The Big Buck”;
See you in two weeks!
