Honey Lake Qualifier

What a long weekend it has been. The weekend started out for me on an early Thursday morning and a long drive from Arizona up to northern California where we arrived at Honey Lake Motocross Park for the Loretta Lynn area qualifier. We got to the track bright and early Friday morning for practice and to get the bikes dialed in for the weekend. Practice went pretty good for me and I was feeling pretty good considering the fact that it was my first time back riding since getting injured at World Mini a few short weeks ago.

After a nights sleep at the hotel, we went back to the track Saturday for the first day of racing which was all the stock classes. For me I only had two classes which included 450 B stock and 250 B stock. 250 B stock was my first moto of the day; I didn't get the greatest of starts and struggled a little bit with the track but was still able to end up third in the first moto. Second moto I felt a little better and ended up third again but was actually in the mix this time. 450 b didn't start out very well for me as I had some electrical issues with my bike all day. Thanks to Andy at Kawasaki we were able to get it all figured out by the end of the day and I was still able to walk away with a 2nd in both motos and a good bike going into Sunday.

Sunday was all the modified and open classes; which for me included 250 B mod, 450 B mod, and collegeboy. 250 B went well for me as I rode strong both motos but just struggled a little bit with starts. After coming from behind both times I was able to finish both motos in third. 450 B was a lot better Sunday than it was Saturday. My bike was running awesome and I was actually riding well on the track. I rode good both motos and able to come away with a second in both motos. The races of the day for me were collegeboy. I was finally able to pull of some good starts and be up front. I ended up riding well and got the win in both motos.

Overall it was a good weekend for me and we were able to qualify for both the north west and south west regional qualifiers for Loretta's.
