Round 3 of the 2011 Lucas Oil AMA
Pro Motocross Championship series took place last weekend at the
beautiful High Point Raceway track in Mt Morris, PA. Despite a strong rain
storm prior to the start of the second moto, a great crowd and beautiful
weather welcomed the racers for the 35th Anniversary of the
High Point National.
After finishing 6thoverall at the opening round of the season at Hangtown and 2ndat the following race in Texas, AGV’s Davi Millsaps came to High Point
with strong determination and confidence, feeling healthier and stronger
than in the past months since his kidney injury.
In the first Moto Davi came out
of the gate mid-pack and charged hard until the checkered flag, having
some hard fought battles along the way for a successful 3rdplace finish.
Right before the start of Moto
2, heavy rain fell on the High Point track, turning it into a sloppy and
very muddy battlefield. Millsaps had a better start than in Moto 1, coming
out in the leading group of 6 riders, quickly fighting for another podium
finish. Due to the very difficult conditions, the #18 had to drop his goggles
early making it very difficult to see due to the heavy mud roosts. After
a heavy crash towards the end of the race, Davi managed to come back to
9th, going 5th overall for the day.
In view of the very challenging
conditions of Moto 2, Millsaps managed to score very valuable points at
in Mt Morris, leaving Pennsylvania in 4th place in the point
standing, 7 points behind 3rd.
Next round takes place at Budds
Creek, MD on June 18th.
