This weekend was the last Road to Mammoth race at Lake Elsinore. Going into the last round of the race each of my classes had 3 or 4 racers that were in the points chase for the King of The West Championship. Because the last round is a double points race, it came down to whoever won each race would win the Championship Title.
In the first round of races I got a 1st, 1st, and 3rd and knew that I had to win all the second round races to get the titles. In my first race (Mini Sr 1) I battled through every turn. I started out in second and passed for the lead. I held the lead for three laps but I made a mistake and got passed. I held pressure on the leader and set up three really great passes but got pushed out each time and was not able to make the pass stick. I was very frustrated I wasn’t able to get around the leader and I finished in second place.
I was mad at the finish of the race but I had to get right back out on the starting line for my next race (85 9-12) and I was determined to get out front and stay out front. I was able to win the race and take home the King Of The West Championship.
Right after I was on the podium I had to hurry back to the starting line for my next race (Mini Sr 2). I knew what I had to do to finish first in points and I rode consistent for 5 laps and was able to get a second Championship.
I was so excited to bring home the two wins and have a chance to stand on the podium twice and thank all my sponsors that have helped me over the years.
I can’t wait to run the red #1 plate at Mammoth this year!
Now it is back to practice so I can go win more titles for my sponsors!
