CAMERON MCADOO - GRIT 241 250SX

GRIT-241 | 250 SX

The tenacity of Cameron McAdoo was a trait that few others could embody. Week after week, regardless of what was thrown his way, the Iowa native thrived and maintained a prominent position aboard the professional circuit. As fans cheered when his Kawasaki machine rolled onto the course for qualification, the number sixty-three of McAdoo immediately displayed his skills on the technical course with a hard-charging style...rolling into corners of varying angles with the throttle twisted and his sprockets constantly turning forward. An attitude of confidence and immense preparation accompanied him as the gate(s) eventually fell for heat two of the evening, where Cameron quickly advanced from fourth to second after making passes on Marshal Weltin and teammate Seth Hammaker. Now latching onto the rear tire of Romano, Hammaker was urgent in his advancement forward - clipping the tops of various landing ramps with his front tire, bouncing into corners thereafter with the throttle pinned aboard his Kawasaki machine! The desire to excel past Romano eventually led to a move being made with around one minute and forty-seconds left on the clock, where the Yamaha rider attempted to push McAdoo to the far outside in the corner before the whoops, but McAdoo refused to give in! Now into the lead, Cameron would maintain the first place position through the conclusion of the moto...taking the win and storming to the main event with confidence. As gate(s) fell later that evening, McAdoo began the trek to the front of the pack in fifth, but would make a commendable pass on Nicholas Romano (in the corner before the "SX" triple) to acquire fourth in the initial stages. He and Hammaker would then battle over the third-place standing, with Cameron's pressure being too much for Seth to refute and allowing McAdoo's determination to prevail en route to a podium position being sustained on lap six. From that point forward, it seemed as if Cameron was going to be solidified in third...with he, race leader Austin Forkner, and Haiden Deegan presenting similar lap-times...but the devastating crash in the latter stages (by Forkner) would allow many in the field to advance once position. McAdoo, though devastated for the fellow Kawasaki rider knew that he had to focus on the race-track ahead while garnering as many points as possible. Therefore as the twenty-one lap quest eventually came to an end, Cameron's residency in the runner-up standing certainly was one to build from while striving for an overall series title.
