Canadian Nationals

Moncton, NB

250cc Pro

The race was in Moncton and it’s a great place to visit. I'm sure everyone has been there once or twice if not check it out.  Anyways the track was fun and the dirt was good.  I felt good in practice considering Moncton is 4 hours ahead of California time.  That meant 9:00 practice is really 5:00 in the morning!  It takes a little more than that to throw off  "The Diesel."

The first race I had a bad start.  I came out around 9th.  I worked my way quickly into third when it started raining.  It was coming down good for about ten or fifteen minutes.  The track got slick but not too bad. I ended the moto in third.

The second moto I had a better start.  I came out about 4th.  I charged into second trying to catch JSR.  He holeshotted and took off after his first moto disaster.  We both pulled away from the competition.  Towards the end of the moto, my mechanic gave me the signal that I had the overall.  It was good to see that.  I cruised into the finish line with the overall win.

It felt great to finally win the overall at the Canadian Nationals this year.  There are two more to go, so I'll do my best to win those as well.
