Two 125's Headed To LL In The Over 50 Class...

24 riders lined up today at the South Central Regional at Freestone in the Over 50 class. The top 6 got their ticket to The Ranch. Two of them where on YZ 125's. The winner was 50 year old Michael Keating from Houston. He works at JM Racing, an engine and suspension motocross shop in Houston. Michael came from mid pack in two moto's and dead last in one. He ended up with a 3 moto sweep. Here is the coolest part. His is an '03 model! He also has a 2017 KTM350. When asked which bike he is going to race at Loretta's, he said he was undecided.

I was the other 125 out there. Mine is a '13, also modded by JM Racing. I'm 55 and ended up with a 7-4-6, for 5th overall. My best race was the second moto, where I almost pulled the holelshot and ended up 4th at the finish. I don't know about Keating's bike, but mine is 125cc, with a PC pipe and silencer, along with some cylinder work from John Mitchell at JM Racing. I have also gone up one tooth on the rear sprocket to a 49.

Oh yeah, Keating also went 1-1-1 in the Over 45 class!!!
