RESULTS DONOTLIE
on the most brutal of circuits, that the Gatorback national would put him at ease, upon arrival. It would work, as the practice tracks and training facilities he had rode on, prepared him beyond expectations for this Floridian circuit, therefore he felt comfortable from the moment he laid eyes on the track. Sporting a number 713 on his eye-catching Cobra 50, he would sign up for a multitude of classes, including both 50cc options, as well as multiple 65cc classes. Jumping back and forth between the automatic and manual transmissions, he appeared to bridge the
Coming across the line in solid fashion
for both divisions, he would end up fourth overall. Now into the motocross section, his duplicate finishes of two fifth place moto scores, would have him in seventh overall of the 51cc (7-8) Limited division. The real joy would come in the 51cc (4-8) Limited class, where an early moto win would have sitting nicely as the second race was on the horizon. Another outstanding finish of fourth in his final run of the week, would place him in a noteworthy second overall!
JONATHAN
GETZ
Residing in the city of
Old Town, Florida, Mr. Johnathan Getz wanted to bring a little life back to his native area, hoping to capture and boost morale of his neighbors and friends back home. He’d been the talk of the com- munity, with many saying he had the potential to become a professional one day, as long as he kept his nose to the grindstone and worked hard. This type of chat- ter, would motivate the young Husqvarna rider.
It would give him a boost
of adrenaline, something to lean on when the days of training and
practice drills were tough. He wanted to well
for not only himself, but all those who as- sociated themselves with he and his racing. Therefore, his cheering section at the 2018 Winter Olympic nationals, was as louds as they come. He would need it, as the sound of a full gate of screaming 50cc machines can scare away anyone, regardless of age. Listening to the likes of his fanbase clap for him as he loaded the gate for moto number one. Shooting out of the gate for moto num- ber one, it sounded like a pack of hovering bees were darting towards the inside of turn number one. With a large pack of predomi- nantly yellow shrouds around, Getz would keep his focus forward, eyeing that ever so lofty finish of o a podium. Dropping down these gigantic hills and valleys, the thought of soaring down these gigantic drops, or leaping back up and outbound, did nothing to him in regards to fear. It would propel
him to a fourth place finish in the opening moto of 51cc (4-8) limited, along with an accomplishing third place run in the 51cc (7-8) limited class. Setting pretty for both of the second motos, he wanted to increase his pace, and better his overall results. Not only for himself, but for the likes of his family and sponsors as well. Leaping over these humongous table tops, he could be seen putting the track together piece by piece, taking his time in a methodical, but efficient manner. Never one to look back, he wouldn’t worry about the likes of Darren Pine or Brennon Harrison. Focusing on the leader of Ellis, he wanted to run the pace of the Cobra rider for as long as he could. It was a strat- egy that work, and pay off as Getz would soar across the finish line in an outstanding
second position. Doing this for the series of both second motos, he would take a very respect- able second place finish for both classes.
THOMAS WOOD
Thomas Wood, or “Thomas the Tank” as his competitors may
call him, traveled to the premises of the 2018 Winter Olympics, hoping to generate exceptionally strong results. He’d been working diligently throughout the season thus far, and wanted to come away from an event like this, with results that reflected it. Pushing the limits all throughout both prac- tice sessions, he could be found eyeing double, and triple combi- nations before anyone else. Of course, the corner speed is what really matters, but at his age, if
gap and let everything flow smoothly. He could take his raw speed from the 50cc machine, and translate to the clutch
and transmission of the 65. But then
his brute strength of handling the sturdier machine, would push over to the 50cc bike, where he could really maneuver the chassis every which way he wanted. Showing that he was a both a Supercross and outdoor specialist, Raynor began
to rattle off solid moto finishes to begin the week; claiming a win and third place, in both 50cc heat races of the SX portion. Always looking
to up the ante, he would couple
the longer motos with a heap of stamina and solid starts; a daunting combination. Hovering near the top five of both classes, he would look to battle the likes of the top guys in the nation. Jumping everything in sight, many fans on the sidelines got a brief bit of his drain plug, as he was soaring over their heads.
