Noah Mcconahy is a name we are used to seeing in the professional ranks but seeing as he has the West coast Supercross Series has a few weeks off and The Great Outdoors are quickly approaching Mcconahy decided to do a one off race at The california classic. The #96 JMc Racing Husqvarna rider lined up in 250 Pro, 450 Pro, and Open Pro Sport to get back into the
swing of the outdoor style tracks. Noah did not win any titles at the Classic but he has been riding a supercross track for the whole season and the talent in the Pro classes where unbelievable. Unfortunately it seemed to be bad starts that hindered Noah from having any chance in winning the 250 Pro Title. #96 just could not seem to get a top five start with the other title contenders and still managed to get himself 4th overall with 4-5-6 moto finishes. When it was time to line up in the 450 Pro class Noah was determined to show his outdoor skills. Starting outside of the top 10 in the first moto was not how McConahy wanted
to start out the class but he dug deep and got his way to 6th. Moto two and three where much better for Noah as he got himself
on to the podium in both races. If there was another lap in the last 450 pro race we might have seen Noah take the win as he was quickly catching the leader Bradley Taft. The JMC Husqvarna rider put in another good showing in the Open Pro Sport class with 6-3-4 finishes for 4th overall. Although @NOAHMCCONAHY was more than likely looking for a title, he has to be happy with how he rode as he came from the back of the pack all weekend and rarely got passed. He will strong come the outdoor season and will more than likely be in the top 20 more times than not.
