Gavin reports on ABA Grands

 

ABA Grand’s

I flew out Wednesday morning, Flew into some bad weather and a snow storm so ended up getting to the hotel at 2am. Got a few hours of sleep and headed to the track for some practice.

Track was good. Had a wide open first straight for some horsepower and a technical pro-section and berm jump into a long rhythm straight. First practice went well, felt really good so I was looking forward to the weekend. Friday I raced A pro to get the final move up money for AA. I made my way to the main event. Had a late gate but made up for it and took home the holeshot award. Had a good race but ended up 2nd at the line. That gave me the money to turn AA.

Saturday saw me officially turn AA pro.

Moto1 I got 5th

Moto2 had a good race and 1st

Sunday we rode round 3 and all the qualifiers

Moto3 I got 5th

That made me qualify out of motos to the 1/4 finals. Had a super stacked 1/4 and had to come from the outside. Had a late gate but made up for it. Someone in turn 1 blew up and caused a chain reaction putting me in 5th. I made a move in turn 2 and got the 4th.

Semi I had lane 7 and pulled a 4th out and transferred to the main. In my first official AA Pro race I made the main.

Main1 Had a good snap but ended up snapping my chain on the 2nd crank

Main2 got 6th

Main3 got 7thn

Pro Cruiser had a solid first straight and ended up 2nd

Overall I had a solid weekend, making all 3 mains of the weekend.

I would like to thank all my sponsors,  Morphine Industries,Enduro Bearings, Alienation Bmx,Haro Bikes, Fly Racing. A huge thanks also goes out to my Coach Jonnathan Chislett for all the hard work he has put in for me this season, you’re the best!
