IMAGE / KILPATRICK WORDS / PINTOR DESIGN / MPG
>> RCH Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Rider Justin Bogle dominated two weeks ago at Thunder Valley winning the first 450 moto and placing ninth in the second moto. Coming into High Point this weekend we had high expectations for Bogle. Qualifying with the 8th fastest lap time Bogle had the speed to have an overall top ten finish this weekend at High Point Raceway. The Oklahoma native was ready to dominate once again. After gate malfunctions the thirty second board finally dropped and the number nineteen charged to the front of the pack with a hole- shot position of 4th. Battling with Weston Peick, Cooper Webb and Jason Anderson, Justin fell to the ninth position. Coming to the end of moto one Anderson puts the pressure on Bogle. Coming over one of the final jumps the Husqvarna rider Jason Anderson collides with Justin. Bogle frustrated finishes the race in ninth place. The sun and humidity did its work on the newly reworked High Point track. The muddy condi- tions that the 450 class raced in earlier in the day were gone and now the racers had to face the new dusty and dry track. Lined up and ready for redemption Bogle zeroed in on what he had to do to get a top ten finish. Flying out of the gate Justin holds ninth for the holeshot. Battling back and forth for thirty minutes plus two laps Bogle stays steady and holds onto his ninth place throughout the race. Checkered flag is out and the RCH Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Rider ends in 9th.Bogle would end his day with a 9th overall finish. Not a win like two weeks ago, but Bogle is determined and ready to take on round 5.
