First Place Plattekill Series #7 Finals !!
What a great way to end the racing year, with another victory at Plattekill
Mountain. The course was classic Plattekill style, two ten foot drops, steep
loose shale chutes and off camber single track over snow, ice, frozen mud,
soupy mud, puddles and streams. Just about any condition was present. There
was no perfect tire setup, I saw every type of tire available, everyone was
looking for the perfect combination. Since the conditions changed every run
I just stayed with regular sticky tires. My strategy was not to crash since
this long and difficult course was going to take its toll on others. Playing
it safe paid off, not only did I beat My closest competition by 20 seconds,
I was less than a second off the winning pro time. This win coupled with two
others clinched The Plattekill Extreme Series Championship and The NORBA NY
State Championship for 18 and under JrX's to which I was the defending
Champion.
