Looks like we have multiple class winners who were dominant in the younger classes. For me the revelation of the weekend was Levi Kitchen winning all four motos in 250b/450b limited. The kid also had the 5 fastest lap times overall of any class. He looks really smooth and has a huge upside. Wish he was turning pro. Max Vohland had a great week but I was a little dissapointed he was riding 125b/c instead of stepping up to the 250b class. Some of these guys are capable of turning pro but who does any more before their 18+, unless your from Australia or Europe
Tahlond is in no hurry for Max, they have a solid plan...
Turning pro before 18 has ruined a few amateurs careers, I don’t think most kids are mentally or physically ready at that age, although some are. But I’m glad to see that they have now made a HS diploma a mandatory thing here, before racing with the big boys.
what you gonna do now that you won here?
and he says "idunno, i'm going fishing". lol. i like this kid.

Not sure who else.
A, B and C are all subject to interpretation. Fastest guy there was racing B stock.
Ability classes is what’s wrong with America. There’s no a, b, c for any kids classes. If you wanna go on 50/65/85 or super mini you have to be the best of the best.
If you wanna go on a big bike you can sandbag C class. It’s supposed to be a national championship? Every class should be A.

Pretty good overall for riding for everyone on the yellow bike without an e-start. 😎
30% finished in a top 10 position
2/3 of Suzuki riders finished with a top 20 position
Don't get me wrong. Not arguing that he isn't fast enough to move up. It's not at all unusual to have the top B riders proving they are ready to run up front with the Pros. Almost every one I have never known could be the fastest on the track on any given race day before they joined the big boys, at least for a while. But the whole package is not 'ready' yet, be it just age, consistency, personal plan, whatever. Don't worry. He'll be there soon.
