Jarrod McClure has been on fire the past few races, attributing his success to his training. McClure should have been right at home on this rough track and the next two hours would see him climb position by position as he kept pushing as hard as he could.
XC2 riders would fill row 3 as the dry pavement was now showing signs of abuse:devil:
The drier road surface was helping to keep things much more controlled in the afternoon race, and noone I know would want to smack asphalt. It still kept the fans glued to the action as the sound of howling tires and the smell of burnt rubber added a new element to this race.
Pat Brown was out front as he leads his row to the dirt. 14 miles of track lay ahead of him, and he would end up not seeing all of it! Brown failed to score a lap after finding some problems. His dad and I joked that he had enough time to build a nice tree fort out in the woods as he did not make it back to his pit during the 2 hour event!Better luck next race Pat!
Chris Jenks and Kaleb Nicholson go bar to bar as the pair heads off
Brent Sturdivant leads his row out and he was hoping to have a solid race.
Johnny Gallagher grabs the lead in his row and wasted no time in getting in the mix. The long course combined with some very techincal sections and mud was a set up that Gallagher could do extremely well in.
Shawn Hess exits turn one as the straw bales were about to get a little nudge!
Sean Neidlinger made the switch to a Honda this round. Sean is a great rider and I hope the switch will bring him some better luck!
#22 Jeff Pickens gets a bit out of shape at the first turn. Pickens had some bad luck heading into round#9 and raced with a cast on his hand. The injury healed for the most part, Pickens was wanting to get out there and get back in the mix of things!
