the gearbox, hitting the latter portion of the top end at times. Hard on the brakes when coming down some of these lengthy straightaways, you could almost hear his rotors hissing and pinging from the stands, as the heat generated by
these pads had the metallic scorching. It would be a sure sign that he was pushing the bike to the limits, reassuring all
their raw speed display for the world to see. Throughout the duration of practice, he could be found banging through
in his crew that his efforts were next level. He looked to make a statement in the qualification rounds, wanting to secure a solid spot for the main event. Diving into turn one, he knew he had to emerge relatively unscathed, if he wanted to advance safe and sound. Soaring through the air over one of the notorious “SX” triples, he felt compelled to look to
the distance and spot the leader; as it would give him a beacon of distance so to speak. Knowing where he would
need to step up and engage, he would provide a strong effort to try and pull away from Dean Wilson; and it would work. Coming across the line, the feeling of reassurance would occupy each lobe of his brain, knowing that one of the toughest tasks of the night was over. The gate would drop for the main event, and the field would become erratic on the first lap. Cross jumping, and leaping over competitors’ left and right, he would manage to linger around the eleventh area to begin. Crossing the starting line, he appeared rather fast in the back-to-back 180-degree turns, switching up both inside and outside options in consecutive laps. He knew he couldn’t make a mistake, as the pressure from Aaron Plessinger was beginning to rise. But his mental fortitude would allow him to with stain the charge, although breathing hard at the finish line. He would be proud of his efforts, glad that he could rally for a tenth place overall.
