Fox Hollow Race Report
posted by Roddy
Last weekend marked the fourth race on the Atlantic Region calendar, and the third race of the Atlantic Region Series (ARS). For me it was a chance to see everyone again and touch base with folks I haven't seen for a year and a half.
It was difficult saying goodbye to everyone in the end, but it was sure nice to make the rounds in the pits one more time.
Random notes:
- Even though there was plenty of rain on Friday, Lee Steeves and his crew deserve a ton of credit for getting that track into shape. Well done guys!
- Everyone is flying.
- That Junior class is out of control. Atlantic MX trivia... did you know they used to run qualifiers for 125 Junior way back in the early 80's?
- How far do you think Nathan Slater and Davey Fraser will go?
- That new 5th wheel the Smith's are driving around is awesome.
- It's nice to see Jan Swinkels and Jake Landry making a go of the photography biz... there should be enough riders around these days to make it worthwhile. Make sure you support Fast Tracks!
- Mitchell and Heidi Cooke's deal with the now-defunct Atlantic Powersports is a bummer, but it was nice to see Mitch rebound with another bike and ride the wheels off it. Just imagine how fast he'll be riding that thing once he's go the suspension dialed in by Anthony at PRO TECH.
- Speaking of Mitch, those battles with Ryan Lockhart were epic. It was great seeing those guys going at it in the 250 and GP motos. In the GP class, Mitch lapped everyone except Lockhart.
- I only saw one major accident... a guy in Junior augered in hard on the finish line jump, picked himself up and walked over to the waiting Ambulance. Last I heard he had a broken arm. Here's to a speedy recovery for him.
- I didn't see as many motos as I would have liked. :(
- At first I was wishing I was racing, but near the end of the second set of motos I wasn't! That track got rough!
- Robbie Whynott kicked butt in the vet class... except for Dick of course.
- There were, like, 37 riders on the line for the Vets... crazy!
- Someone tell Montes, Smitty and Ratchford to cut their hair, ok?!
- Oh, by the way Keith... do the right thing by that girl of yours Heather alright?!
That's all for now. Be sure to check the 6 pages of photos from the race in the media gallery. The Riverglade pics will be up next week sometime once I'm in Germany. See ya!
