After coming off my first race win in Kentucky, I was feeling the pressure of backing it up with another solid ride. Prior to the race i spent the week riding with Steve Hatch at Brushy Mountain motorcycle park in one of his riding schools, honing in on some skills. At the start of the race I got off to a good start heading into the woods in second behind Dustin Gibson. I found the myself in the lead at the start of the second lap, having to stop in the pits for a fresh set of Scott goggles because of sweat on my lenses I dropped back into second place. By the first mile I had already cought Jason Thoamas and also started noticing the feel in my clutch was going away. Into the third lap i was still in second felling comfortable but my clutch was getting worse, by the middle of the lap it was completly gone. After stalling my bike a few time i decided to come back to the pits and get it fixed. When i got back going again I couldn’t get it together i was making a bunch of mistakes but I just kept my head down and by the end of the race I finished a solid 6th place after coming back from 14th.
