SHANEMCELRATH
never losing sight of the goals he’s sat for himself. So as the
track map and actual layout of Oakland underwent a bit of differential change, you could tell that he was unblemished,
in the sense of what to expect on the course. Nailing each
and every section throughout the opening laps, he was as sound as they come while conquering the design in melodic fashion. Smooth through the transitions, no bit of energy would be wasted with either the casing of a jump, or over-jumping
a particular obstacle. Heading into the heat race, everything aboard the machine felt tidy and up to par. Levers were in check, the holeshot device engaged, and the suspension was extremely push, as he volleyed the bike back and forth behind the gate. Taking off shortly thereafter, he would hover near the fourteenth place position to begin. Looking to blitz every opponent possible, the checkered flag was the only thing on his radar, as the scope would locate the nearest opposition.
It was that of Sean Cantrell, and he knew the combatant
had a series of tricks up his sleeve, in order to work his way around. Fast in whoop section, he looked to show a wheel in the following bend; but it was to no avail, as McElrath would cut right for the apex, shutting the door. Riding a bit defensive, his security of the position would result in a sixth place finish. The main event would shortly be underway, with a fury of the best 250 pilots contending for the golden medallion. Trying his best to ransack the front runners ahead, he showed no sign of halting as many of the series leaders would swarm him. Letting go of all hesitancy, he would hit fourth gear tapped down the longest of straightaways, nearly knifing into the top of the following bowl turn. But it was needed, to pull away from Jacob Hayes; and it would pay off, as the checkered flag would wave in the distance, letting him know that fourth place was his. Although just a bit short to Colt Nichols as the checkered flag would wave, he managed to stay within the points chase as this round would conclude.
