Live Oak, FL (7/12/2010) -Jeremy
was on a brand new LT-R450 we had just finished
assembling on Thursday around midnight, just in
time to leave for the race.
This weekend started off just like most of our
weekends. Saturday practice went well, we tuned
the quad and got ready for Sunday morning qualifying.
Sunday morning went well, but nothing special,
as Jeremy finished the practice in 9th place.
However this would prove nothing.
Moto One: At the drop of the gate things didn’t
look so well as Jeremy had a terrible reaction
off the sticky concrete at PVR. However, he was
lined up on the inside and snuck into 5th place
around the 1st corner! Within a few laps he caught
up to Cody Gibson and quickly passed him for the
4th place position. Joe Byrd was in 3rd place
at this time and Jeremy was focused on moving
forward. Within a few more laps Jeremy caught
and had a little battle with Byrd, Jeremy tried
to pass Byrd in an off camber sweeping right hand
corner. But, in the next corner Jeremy went on
the inside of Byrd and made the pass stick. Jeremy
kept his head down the entire moto, turning the
top two fastest lap times. He gained on the leaders
Natalie and Wimmer, but did not have enough time
to get close enough to pass. Lawson ended the
moto respectably in 3rd place!
Moto Two: Unfortunately, Jeremy had the same
poor reaction at the gate drop. But, again he
would make a 1st corner move as he came around
in 7th place.
Jeremy was on a mission again, he made a magical
move in the 1st pro section where he passed Wimmer,
Wienen, and Warnia to move into 4th place. Now
Jeremy had some work to do as he set his sights
on Josh Upperman. Jeremy pushed Upperman around
the track as they closed the gap on second place
John Natalie. Upperman was running strong, and
on the second to last lap we thought the pass
would not happen. But, then to our surprise, Jeremy
made a move on the inside of a left hand corner
before a double-double section, but the pass did
not stick.
As they battled for the third place position
the racing was intense, finally on the last lap
Jeremy made the same move in the same corner and
made it stick! Jeremy Lawson ended the moto respectably
in 3rd place! Jeremy turned heads all Sunday and
received a lot of recognition on his new yellow
LT-R450. Walsh & Lawson would like to thank
all of our sponsors and all of the ATV motocross
supporters!
