DNA Shred Stix/Star Racing/Yamaha Pala MX 1

Pala,
Ca.
(September 10, 2011) The AMA Motocross series came to a conclusion
over the weekend at Pala MX Park in Pala, California. . DNA Shred
Stix/Star Racing/Yamaha comprised of #25 Ryan Sipes, #35 Kyle
Cunningham, #387 Gareth Swanepoel, #533 Gannon Audette, rookie
newcomer #210 Kyle Peters, and #1 Jessica
Patterson went
out trying to make it one of the most successful races of the
season, seeing our members ride on to finishes high up in the
standings.

In
moto one for the Star boys final race, Swanepoel started off in a 7^th
but within a lap had moved up to 6^th.
Running the speed of the leaders, Swanepoel went to work and through
the halfway mark he sat in 5^th.
At this point he showed strength by finding his lines and breaking
away; as he went on to take the 5^th
position at the checkers. Also in moto one, the rest of the Star
squad all came out pretty well with Cunningham 6^th,
Sipes 17^th,
Audette 18^th,
and Peters was 27^th.

In
moto two, it was Cunningham and Peters who acquired good starts and
continued on riding outstandingly through most of the race. Early on
Cunningham paced himself in 3^rd
until the midway point when he dropped back to 5^th;
however Peters holding a top ten position crashed out and cut his
great race short. Meanwhile, Swanepoel raced up to near his teammate,
holding down 7^th
and he was applying the pressure to move forward. In return, a hard
fought day for the South African would result in a solid 6^th
and just behind in 7^th
was Cunningham. Fortunately after terrible starts, Sipes and Audette
kept it together and mounted a charge to a better spot. In doing so,
Audette salvaged a 19^th
and Sipes a 20^th
place finish.

Holding
the torch high for the team, Jessica Patterson went out and destroyed
her competition in a convincing fashion. Moto one took a little more
effort, starting 2^nd
after making a mistake; Patterson forged forward on lap two and took
the 1^st
spot which gave her the win. Starting out moto two in 1st, Patterson
checked out and took the win leading every lap to take the overall
win with a statement.
