Yep, holeshot both moto's, was never challenged. Oldenburg kept the gap down to around 6 or 7 sec the whole first moto. Alessi had a huge gap over albertson by the end of the second moto, probably more like 20 seconds or more.

Must be nice to be that good, looked like a easy day at the office for him
And what was that day at the office worth? Just curious.

What a fantastic weekend of racing!!
Thank you to all of the racers that came out and participated! Riders represented 13 states and Ecuador, with some traveling over 16 hours to be here! We hope that each one of you had a wonderful time!

Reflecting on this weekend, it is very evident that God's hand was on the weather. Thursday's predicted storm passed us by and left us with only 1" of rain. We were really blessed to have wonderful weather ALL WEEKEND LONG!!! This morning we woke up to rain and severe thunderstorms. We are thanking God for holding back the rain until Monday after the races!

The pros put on some awesome races to watch as they battled to claim their share of the $25,000.00 pro purse! The new pro section and new monster jump was a real sight to behold! It had never been jumped until Saturday and so everyone was anxiously awaiting the first brave pro to attempt it!

The highlighted racer of this year's event was the "Holeshot King" himself, Mike Alessi #800. He won both holeshot awards and ran away with the lead in Saturday's race. We were glad to have Jimmy Albertson #77 come back to Swan MX this year. He did really well, finishing in 2nd place right behind Alessi.

Sunday's race was pretty exciting to watch as well! The lead changed several times and kept everyone on the edge of their seats! The winner, Zack Williams, who was previously the 2012 125-250cc Pro Class Champion, reclaimed that title yet again in 2014!!
