Well
We decided to take Mitchy up to try a Amsoil Pro ArenaCross event. After he was notified last week that he was selected to do the National KTM Junior Challenge at the Wilksbarre PA Arenacross 2-9, we thought it would be a good idea to check one of these out. Track is tight with steep jump faces, but the jumps faces really did not bother Mitchy and he said it was fun.
Friday results only: Fastest 50cc lap in practice, won his heat race and 1st in the 50cc main event during the night program. Not a huge turn out in his class, but he is running again tomorrow and Sunday as well. We will see if some more show and he can put 2 or 3 good ride days together.
After his main win, they put him on the box in front of all the people. Treated the 50 and 85 riders like they were part of the program. Mitchy thanked..Jesus, Mom, Dad, his sister, SRS, Pitracer.com, RamJam, Breyley Yamaha, and Rip Vinyl. I was impressed he rattled that all off, but he watches these supercross and arenacross guys week in and week out. Who says these kids don't learn from watching the big dogs. He was a nervous mess, but I would have been also....pumped his fist in the air when they spot lighted him on the last lap. Funny stuff. The Montster girls asked him, while on the box, how he won his race? He said "just went fast on the straights and in the corners"...and said he liked the "whoops" the best.
Local newspaper reporter interviewed him also for a article he is going to do.
They are airing on TV Sunday on Speed at 6P...maybe he will get highlighted. Up close and personal all night with Bowers, Skaggs, Gibson, McDade,Smith, Aimes,Villopota, Browning..etc. Was interesting and each is/was very approachable.
Zack Rogers and Jason are up here as well. Zack kicked butt also with a 2nd in his main on his Honda CRF150R...well done!
Here are a few pics of the boys in practice and their heat races. Good showing for the OMA boys! No video permitted per copyright rules with Speed, Amsoil...etc.
Special thanks to Gibson for the pic after Mitchy won his main!...he was stoked.
