Oakland Round Koontz Series 9-17-06

B class rider Allan Greenwood was looking to do well today. It was not hard keeping track of him on his blue 450R

Gary Whiteacre leads the Vet class into turn one

I was unsure, but I think they had a staggerd start with a split Vet class. Koontz series offers 2 Vet classes based on skill level.

In any event, the starts were actually clean and I am happy to report no real first turn carnage

Utility and C 16-25 were hitting the track as Nick Regalia was hard on the gas making up some time for a bad start.

The first section out of turn one was an uphill with 3 different lines available. This seemed to help a few make some very early passes

With all the other classes getting a clean start, I was nervous that the last class would be slammed by misfortune. It was not however as Joshua Dains was the first to drop the hammer and shoot for the first turn.

Joshua won the 90cc Limited class in the GNCC series last season, and has been riding hard in the 300 Youth classes this year. This is a favorite of mine and I can not wait to see him in action at Powerline Park!

Joshua has grown atleast a foot since I last saw him and he did not have any problems making his 300 EX do what ever he wanted it to!

Cody Hull has been running this series with Joshuia and from the pre race stories it looked to be a good bet they would be swapping positions in this race

Josh can fill me in on this riders name, but he found a flat tire on the first lap and was out of the race
