2009 Race season opener
Well we kicked off the 2009 Southern Motor Cross race season today Sunday, 22 March 2009 at Tuscarora N.C. in style!! It is Josh’s second season on the KTM 65 but this year he moved to the 10 to 11 year old class, much faster riders. We spent the winter down time rebuilding the bike, to include new graphics and parts, from all of our GREAT sponsors (pictures to come), so we are the best looking rider out there.
The first moto for his normal class went well he was 4th out of the gate and 3rd into the first turn by the 4th turn he was caught up in a spill with other riders and went down, but by lap 4 he caught and passed 3 riders to come in second in his class. He went right back 2 motos later and raced his open class (7 to 11) and placed 3rd.
The second round of motos went great clean start and was in third for his class and doing great. He decided to give the bike some gas and cleared the finish line table top which is 50 feet or better!! This is a first for him that is why we are proud he excelled and improved today. The last moto for the open class he came in third again so both classes he came in the top 3 at the end of a great day!
