After travelling to Mt. Tremblant the previous weekend, racers were glad to be racing once again close to home. Everyone was thrilled to be racing a brand new track, the built headed by series veteran Shane Joachim. The track was short and pedally, offered racers plenty of sandy and off camber corners, which meant the winners had to be explosive, but able to smash corners and stick to their lines. After a successful first round, the team was looking for a repeat, and it happened!
Harold puts his suspension to work
With many racers away at the US Open, Nick Kesik was able to capitalize with his 1st Junior Expert win in only his 2nd Junior Expert race! He sits 2nd in the overall. Adam Finlayson got back on track after his disappointing start at Kelso, and finished 2nd in Senior Expert. Kyle L was not happy with his run, finished 7th but is now 3rd overall in the series!
After going over the bars and qualifying in the 70's, Harold was out of Sundays final at the US Open in New Jersey, and with the Provincial overall ranking in mind, jumped in the car and drove 9 hrs to race Horseshoe. With 4 hrs sleep and little practise, Harold was stoked to finish 4th and hold onto that #1 overall position.
The series overall is calculated with your best 5 out of 6 races at the end of the season. With many racers missing 1 of 2 races thus far, our athletes must keep pushing for podium results to remain on-top!
Jamie Tice with the win!
Jamie T. continues to show he is on form this year. After a strong winter of training, it is evident that he will be a force to reckon with for the remainder of this season and 2011 in the U16 category. He has a 5 point lead in the series overall ranking.
Despite many of the young elite racers away at the US Open, it was great to see old timer Justin Brown (Cycle Solutions) take the win, over Lapierre Canada rider Sid 'The Kid" Slotegraaf and Texas boy Caleb Cambern (Primary- Trek).
The weather was great, the track was a blast, racing was tight and a good time was had by all.
The team looks forward to Rd.3 in just under 2 weeks time.
Thanks to SirBikeAlotRacing and Shane J for putting this one on!
See you on the trails!
