Barcia! Barcia! Barcia!

Sensational rookie Justin Barcia is returning to his home state of New York for the first time as a professional, and many expect the GEICO Powersports Honda rider to go all-out for the win. Barcia has yet to win a moto this summer, but he has come close often. His exaggerated riding style is part James Stewart, part Ryan Villopoto, and he’s been one of the best starters this season so far. One drawback: While Barcia grew up in New York, he will have no home-track advantage, as Unadilla rarely holds amateur races on the legendary circuit.

On the pre-race show.....it said only TWO of the LL rookies made it. Weeks was one of them , and some other kid #609 i think it was? Anyways......wegi said it probably had to do with the economy and it being really tough for the families to make it over , or something like that.

so , yeah....only 2 this weekend. We'll see a few more pop up in the next few weeks. Looking forward to Tevin Tapia.....good local kid i've been watching since he was on 50's.

Baggett and Wilson are the best riders coming from Loretta's IMO..... bummer neither one has support lined up yet.
