Honda of Troy/Kilbarger Racing National Report

Michael "Rock" Rigdon

Media Relations/Technical support


Qualifying: Smith 17th, DD 18th and Willard 20th.



DD moto 1: Decent start and ran 6th until he lost his rear brake, ran in the top 20 until he lost his rear brake again. Moto 2: Another decent start and finished a strong 8th for 12th overall and moved into 13th in the points with four rounds left.



Smith moto 1: Bad start but rode great. Moved into 12th and was making a bid for 11th on the last lap when he ran out of gas. Moto 2: A little better start and was running in the top 20 when he crashed on the second lap and fell back to 28th. Got going again and moved up to 13th at the finish for 15th overall. Smith has shown quite a bit of improvement over the last few weeks and looks to finish strong the last four races.



Willard moto1: Bad start and cruised to a 20th. Moto 2: Another bad start, but this time Willard put his head down and rode really well for a 16th. If Willard could get better starts and ride like he did the second moto every week it would be good. 20 - 16 gave him 21st overall.

Very nice! 'Twas a great day for a national. DD was definitely running well and up front all day. Bummer about the rear brakes.

Thanks I've been checking everyday for this, I find them pretty cool and wish more teams did them.

Now we just need to get DD to the finish line 2 motos in the same day.

Rock,
Congrats to the team. Nice write up on Smith over at TWMX also. Well spoken and seems to be a good rep for the team. I thought that when I met him on Friday at Hangtown as well. Very polite and very humble. Wink

Looking forward to hearing about Unadilla.

Stay safe and good luck to the team!
