Sacramento and Another Podium

Sacramento and Another Podium

The Sacramento track was one of the smaller venues of the year with lap times under 20 seconds. Less than a half a second separated the top 8 riders in qualifying. The weekend started out well, with both riders qualifying well out of practice with Ben 3rd and Jace in 4th. Ben was back up to speed after sitting out last weekend with a shoulder injury.

The track turned became one line, and very difficult to pass. Basically, you finished were you started, unless someone made a mistake. Jace started 2nd in his heat race and Ben started 3rd in his, and that is where they both finished giving them 3rd and 6th gate picks for the main.

It was pretty much follow the leader then; with Blose out front, with Faith and Owen right behind them. Ben was in 7th and was really the only rider to advance as he moved up to 5th by the checkered flag.

The second main was a repeat of the first with Blose out front, followed again by Faith and Jace. This time Ben had a better start and came around in 4th. The top 7 riders finished in the order they started with no passing on the short and easy track which really offered no challenges to separate the field.

This now puts us in 3rd in the Chase. 9 points out of first and 1 point out of second. Things should get intense next week as both Blose and Owen need to put some pressure on Faith to keep their hopes alive for the championship.

Next race we will be in Denver, CO…

If you’re around, stop in and see us.
