Tuesday 03.09.10
After a rain delay pushed practice from Monday back to Tuesday, the clouds finally gave in to some beautiful springtime Texas weather. Mid 70 degree temperatures greeted the hoards of eager amateur motocross racers at Lake Whitney MX Park just outside of Whitney, Texas for the belated practice day of the 2010 Thor Lake Whitney Spring Classic. Thanks to escore Electronic Event Scoring, we’re able to give you the rundown on the fastest racers in each of the 27 qualifying sessions from today. While some riders elected not to wear transponders, track conditions changed throughout the day and after all it was just practice…these kids should all nevertheless be championship contenders this week.

250 B Stock and Mod was the very first practice of the day out on a still very damp racing circuit. In the morning mud it was California Redbull/ Honda rider Jessy Nelson who came away with the fastest lap time in session one, posting a 01:52:312.

No surprises in session #2 when the 85 12-13 Stock and Mod riders hit the track. Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green rider Adam Cianciarulo set the bar with a 01:59.978. A.C’s teammate Chase Bell was second, almost 3 seconds behind.

The Supermini 2 13-16 class was out for session #8, and it was reigning Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open 85 Invitational Supercross champion Chris Alldredge who came out on top. The Yamaha factory rider just barely edged out Rockstar Makita Suzuki rider Jesse Masterpool with a 01:53.660 besting a 01:53.731.

Practice #9 gave the Open Amateur riders a look at the Lake Whitney MX track, and Justin Bogle a chance to show his mettle. The Oklahoma Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green rider just nabbed the top spot over the latest edition to the Xtreme Rockstar Suzuki amateur team – Jeremy Martin. Bogle posted the fastest lap time thus far on the day with a 01:48.026.

Practice #13 was for the 51 Open 4-8 riders and it was Cobra Factory Team rider “Lightning” Lance Kobusch who dominated the field. The Missouri rider overwhelmingly set the fastest lap time of his division with a 02:22.018…over 5 seconds ahead of Carson Mumford.

The Women 12+ class hit the track for practice #16 and it was RockRiver Powersports rider Alexah Pearson setting the standard. The NorCal rider Pearson put down a fast lap time 02:02.394, again some 5 seconds ahead of the nearest competitor – in this case Shelbie Brittain.

Offering up a sneak peak at things to come later in the week when the A riders hit the track, Jason Anderson posted the fastest lap of the Fourstroke Open practice and the fastest lap time of the day! Anderson should have things handled in the Fourstroke class, but the real test will come later in the week when riders like Eli Tomac, Ian Trettel, Michael Leib and Lance Vincent show up to do battle in the A classes.
