Aaron Plessinger had an un- derwhelming start to the day at Hangtown as he barely broke into the top 20 in the combined prac-
tice times with a laptime of 1:58.5.
That wasn’t the only underwhelming start
for Plessinger on the day either, he man- aged to have another one in the first moto, potentially due to the mediocre gate pick he earned in qualifying practice. It’s also pos- sible the drops of rain that were falling on the 250 starting gate got Plessinger a little too excited, but the clouds never truly opened up enough to do any serious damage, although they feigned a storm in the middle of the race. He got a mid-pack start which put him in 14th place across the finish line on the first lap, just behind Mitchell Oldenburg and one of his Star Racing Yamaha teammates, Alex Martin. He was able to work his way around the KTM of Oldenburg and the Honda of Kyle Peters, which put him up to 12th place on the 2nd lap of the race.
