AMA Flat Track Grand National, Pomona, CA

Saturday Night after my race at Perris Raceway we headed to Pomona for the final AMA round of the Gran National Flat Track Series. Pomona is a 1/2 mile track that has really long straightaways with tight corners, making it similar to riding around a paper clip. This was the first time I had ridden a track like this. After practice I was feeling pretty good and made a couple of changes to the bike to better prepare for the heat races. I rode a pretty good heat race missing the cut by 3 riders. I geared up to run the LCQ and had a pretty bad start. I was able to pass a handful of riders within the first couple of laps putting myself in a transfer position. The last lap I ran wide in turn two and another rider slid by and I just didn’t have room to get back by him before we came back by the checkers. It was another great learning experience and I cant wait for next year as I will be better prepared and have a lot more experience under my belt. Next year you will see me be a contender at a lot of tracks. I know the AMA season ended but I am already excited and waiting for the first AMA race in Daytona during Bike Week in March! Thanks again to everyone that has supported my Flat Track Program this year!
