President's Cup 2007 Report:
What a wonderful turn out for
Georgia! 29 riders arrived to represent their State, Cole Accord
raced 2 classes, giving us 30 riders filling up the initial 193 moto
count for the event. The track was in superb condition, with
something for everyone. Ms Shayne was a little nervous about the
deep, lipped double going into the second turn, ( rumor has it I got
one whole foot of air) and we did have some extremely deep rollers
in the rhythm section, ( lost some riders there ), but on the whole
a great racing track. A big thank you to our team captain Karen
Allen for the day and to Alex Fritz who captured some perfect
pictures of our riders.
Georgia placed 10th overall, but this did not truly reflect how well
our riders raced! 25 riders made their main, and because the
Presidents Cup is run like a local, sadly Mallory, Cheyenne,
Anthony, Jeffrey and Shayne did not have a main event and they did
very well, but basic points only!!! It was up to the remaining 20
riders to set the tone. Our 14 expert class was exceptionally well
represented with Alex Palmer, Blake Floyd, Nathan Grant and Brandon
Brown. Nathan Grant went on to take the win for us. Cole Accord
raced both cruiser and class and came in 2nd on both with Kalee
Reynolds showing her girl power and bringing home a second. We had a
few mishaps but overall we had a score of 178 points. Michigan
surprised us all with the win over Ohio and Florida.
The Presidents Cup was a little smaller than 2006 and the classes
were very small, but the spirit was as big as ever. I was very proud
to go up and accept the check for $300 on behalf of our riders. WELL
DONE!! We hope to have more riders there this year. Georgia riders
also did very well in the Nationals following and everyone truly
enjoyed the UCI races. Great to see the pros up close and personal.
We start our State Series March, 08 2008 and with tracks racing this
month you have an opportunity to get a head start on your qualifying
8 local races.
Thank you to the Georgia State Riders and their parents who made the
trip to Ohio.
