Props to Shane for putting up a serious fight in the HD class this weekend. He was the pole sitter and clearly the fastest guy in several sections during the race. The one section he was not fastest was down the straight, as he could not draft anyone but got drafted anytime someone else was close. Rode his butt off and kept taking the spots back, but ran off about 3/4 of the way through and had to settle for 5th. Could have been win #2, but that's racing. When you're young, there will always be another day. Shane also ran some very respectable times in the DSB class, which has some seriously fast kids in it these days, and finished 9th. Nice work there.
Saturday's Superbike race (in the rain) was awesome to watch - if you get a chance you need to check out the last couple laps....Hayes and Hayden really put on a show.
LRRS guys Zev Ginsberg, Kris Knopf and Alex Guilbeault all ran Supersport and made good showings for themselves - Saturday's race was super tough conditions...not wet but not really dry either. NJMP local Mark Miller put it on the box on Saturday with a strong ride, which was cool to see as well.
I hope to see even more LRRS riders down there next season, as we're all hopeful that the new people guiding AMA racing steer the ship in the right direction. Looks like there will be an entry level class for young riders (14+) and perhaps a 600cc spec class, as well as a 1000cc Superstock class together with Superbike. Interesting stuff for sure - stay tuned.
