JORDAN JARVIS
Jordan Jarvis had a dream weekend at the Daytona RCSX. She was able to qualify for the Women Amateur (12+) and Girls Sr (12-16) comfortably with 1st and 2nd places in her heat races. Her Yamaha was dialed in all weekend off the starting gate, leaving her very little work to do. She only had to make one pass in each of her heats, getting Jamie Astudillo for 2nd place
on the final lap of the Girls Sr (12-16) heat. This would foreshadow the racing to come in the mains, because the two of them proved to be in a class of their own on the weekend. Jarvis also pulled off a decent start in her Supermini heat race, ending the first lap in 12th position. She rode a smart race and resigned one spot to Justin Cokinos on the 3rd lap. Jarvis pulled an identical start in the Supermini main, but the longer race distance saw her eventually drop back to 16th. She had a nearly perfect couple of races in the Women Amateur (12+) and the Girls Sr (12-16). Jarvis pulled the holeshot in the Women Amateur race which put her in a heated battle with none other than Jamie Astudillo. Astudillo was able to make the pass early on the
1st lap after the wall jump going into the tight switchback corners. She forced her KTM into the preferred line and gave Jarvis no other choice than to take the outside. The two of them rode wheel to wheel for a couple of laps, Jarvis staying out of the preferred line and looking to make the pass. She was finally able to do so just before the finish line with a well measured block pass as the two of them trounced the rest of the field by over 3 seconds per lap. Jarvis ended up winning with a comfortable 2.5 second lead. The Girls Sr race saw Jarvis and Astudillo start out front again, this time with the Yamaha of Jarvis in second. She forced a pass on Astudillo halfway through the first lap and never looked back, taking her second championship of the day in dominating fashion.
