Well, I finished 4th in the race, and 5th overall. I had a bit of an annoying experience.. They ran the route on an MX track, but backwards, so none of the jumps made sense. In one lap I was on the gas a bit too much, and flat landed a big jump from about 12 feet in the air. The handlebars rolled downwards over the tank, and I did 2 more laps like that before coming into the pits for a 12mm.. Then the next lap, the same thing, on the same jump. It was tough to re-adjust to so many different bar and lever positions.
The winner of the class is a name to watch out for, Chris Vanhoev.. He's one smokin fast young kid.. In the Pro category Allan Lachappel took the win narrowly over another rising young talent, Tony Boercamp. This kid is insane fast!! I got between the 2 of them on the last lap, (as they lapped me).. they were totally duking it out. While Allan went by me, I got in Tony's way for a bit (unintentionally of course). Once Tony was able to get by me, he totally ripped.. Although out of control, as he went down, but he was totally smoking fast. This kid is going to be going to the big race in Florida in January, he's a force to be watch out for!
Anyway, that's my report. If Anyone tells you a KDX just doesn't have enough pop, they haven't ridden one long enough. They have plenty of get up and go, and they don't tire you out too badly after a long race.
I'd like to thank Maxima Racing Oils for their help this year, and look forward to many more seasons running their products.
Jon!
