What an incredible race! Big shout out to Sweney Cycle Park, the track for the entire weekend was by far the best roughest track I have ever ridden in Colorado. Practice day on Sunday went really well and the rougher that the track got, the better I was starting to feel on the new bikes and suspension. My best lap time during practice was a 1:51 and the top pro's best practice time was a 1:45. So I was a little off of the pace that I wanted to be at but I was very confident and excited for race day. Overall the races on Monday couldnt have gone any better. I had solid and consistent top three starts in all 5 of my races and I felt really strong on the bike. I took four 1st place finishes and one 2nd place finish. So in my three classes on the day we ended with 1st in 450B, 1st in CollegeBoy, and 2nd in Open Am. The highlight of the weekend though was setting the fastest lap time of the entire event in our second 450 B moto. Tanner Wineland and I got out front early and really started to push each other, what a race! Unfortunatly, Tanner crashed really hard but was ok. I set a 1:42 lap time while battling with Tanner! First of all, all the glory goes to God! I would not be where I am right now without him in my life. Then I need to thank G-Force Powersports, my entire family, all my friends, and a special thank you to Chad Faulkner #17! I am so blessed to be given this opportunity and I am going to give it everything that I have. We have two weeks left of training and preperation to get ready for the Lakewood Loretta Lynn Regional.
