Race Report. Kentucky Harescramble Series, Clay City.
Rider. Paul Whibley
Team. Moose, Parts Unlimited, Honda
Bike. Honda CRF 450x
Round 6 of the Kentucky Hare scramble Series started under seriously hot conditions. Riders sat on the line melting in the 95/36 degree temperatures. I was extremely grateful to be wearing Moose Sahara (vented) gear. This stuff is amazing, even with the very slight breeze I could feel the air circulating through and cooling my body.
Off the start, I was second round the first corner (!!) and quickly moved to the front. The track had been freshly bulldozed and was quite fast. It was a blast to race as there were nice berms forming on the corners, plenty of lines to choose from and room to move around slower riders. Although as the race wore on some sections got dusty and others packed down and became slick.
By the fuel stop I had enough of a lead I decided to try some adjustments to my suspension. RG3 have been working hard on improving my current set up and we are making good gains. Late in the race I got a big surprise when a rouge CRF 450 leapt out of the bushes and tried to occupy the same line I was railing along in 4th gear. Ill get you next time Kenny!!! ( Ha )
I had a blast out front and took the win. The organizers must have sensed how much fun I was having as they sent me out for an extra lap.
Morrie my friend and mechanic was also racing on the CRF 250x and came home in 4th place.
