1st time on the box & he does it with an over-all? Damn!
The first thing I noticed was that it's the 1st time I've seen him ride loose the entire moto/motos & he went WHERE-EVER he had to in order to maintain his speed and...like they say on TV all day..."keep his momentum". There was a bit of good ol' fashioned Reckless Abandon that I haven't seen until yesterday, also.
Consistently Great Starts certainly help get things going in both motos, too. But, let's not over-look the fact that the track was gnarly and he made his way to the front of the 1st moto and stayed there. 2nd Moto? He got a good start and did an excellent job of "survival". That late 2nd moto charge by Marchbanks deserves a mention here, too.
On the podium he was a class act: He started off dedicating it to Rocky...a very cool dude and a class-act as a race dad, too. RIP, Rocky.
I was stoked seeing how the ENTIRE TEAM was celebrating the win. Nice.
Or DeanO cheering while rolling up to Jalek's 1st moto podium on his way to the gate for his (Dean's) 2nd moto? Classic Dean.
They are an amazing group of people and it's damn nice to see them have a great day.
Congrat's to Jalek & Jeb, his mechanic, and the entire Team.

The ability for riders to actually race each other, instead of the track, was apparent in both classes at High Point.
Good to see him back up his first race result, Hampshire didnt manage to get anywhere near his first race speed in Moto 2 when he should have been in the position Swoll was.
Always good to see a new winner.

That "Brutally Nasty Assed" track is what has me soooo blown away at "how" and on "what day" Jalek seems to have said..."It's time. Let's do this!"
Damn
That was real Out-Door Racing.
That was some old-school kinda stuff.
Pit Row
Whether he is/was or not…Swoll is the real deal.
You’ve got to think that Hampshire could and should win a National for Husky this season too. His bad luck streak has to break sometime doesn’t it?
I wonder if the team will adjust their support of Dean Wilson now that he is their sole 450 rider? Would love to see him up in the top ten.
I guarantee you he has had every single resource that Ando and Osbourne have been provided by Rockstar.
Leads me to believe this is part of why his results have been lackluster...
Hope he can figure it out, this is a big year for him as he's been training at Baker's TF this year... shelled out some good money for that.
Post a reply to: Jalek Swoll O/A at High Point? That's kinda HUGE!
