A
packed house welcomed round 10 of the 2011 AMA Supercross Series to
Indianapolis, and hordes of fans were treated to an amazing display of
athleticism and aerial acrobatics. THEDIRTLAB.COM/MOTOVITE
HONDA rider Ryan Clark was primed and ready to do battle in the
ultra-competitive "Supercross" Class aboard his Travis Hurley-tuned
2011 Honda CRF450R.
Ryan
was quick in his first timed-qualifier, and was looking good in the
second and final session until he augured head first into the sand
section. Fortunately, Ryan escaped with only minor injuries and would
move on to the night show having qualified with relative ease.

In
his heat race, Ryan rounded the first turn near the back of the pack.
He mounted a first lap charge that brought him up to 14th, but was
unable to get around the pack of riders ahead of him and settled into
their pace. He would cross the finish line 14th, thus relegating him
to an LCQ competitor.

In
the dreaded "Last Chance Qualifier" the start is important. How
important, you ask? Important like taking your Motovite vitamins every
day. Important like looking both ways before you cross the road.
Important like yearly breast and/or testicular exams. You get the
point. Despite the urgency of the situation, Ryan did not subscribe to
the aforementioned warnings and gated poorly. He moved forward
swiftly, but a crash by two competitors coupled with a poor line choice
saw him get held up and lose five positions on lap two. By the end of
the six lap event Ryan had rallied to sixth place, but that would not
be enough to transfer to the point-paying main event. "I was pleased
with my LCQ ride, but I have some work to do on my starts. I will be
working with Justin Buckelew this week in hopes of giving myself a
better chance to succeed come Jacksonville".
