Washougal, WA (8/12/2010)
- The 2010 Tri State series has been completed
for another year. The series fundamentally is
the pinnacle MX series in Australia without
the recognition of the national championship.
The 3 round, 3 state series was completed last
weekend at the Toolleen track in Victoria. Robert
Booth contested 2 classes for the day whilst
Mick Roycroft sat out the event due to the hectic
race schedule in the coming months.
Robert Booth promised to get his racing dialled
in this weekend and he did, taking out the +35
Vets class, with numerous hole shots and 2 decisive
wins over fellow competitor and championship
winner Dean McMillan. Rob dominated the track
all day and was unlucky not to take the championship
win, only losing by 5 points.
Rob also contested the expert class, the youth
really dominated this class for the round but
Mr consistent Rob still made his way through
the pack to finish 3rd for the day over his
teenage competitors. And with a 2nd overall
for the series he couldn’t be happier.
Rob said after the race. “I am so happy
with the bike and how our year is going, with
this series as a building block for results
to come. I am heading home with 2 podiums from
today and 2 overall podiums for the series,
and I am only getting faster as each day goes
by. My Polaris wouldn’t stop hole shoting
today, it’s a great engine the Polaris
has and a credit to HST Powersports for building
us a reliable but powerful engine”.
