Monday Kickstart – Unadilla

40 years of legendary motocross racing marked the eighth round of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championships this weekend.  Racing legends from many different eras all joined in the fun  for what was dubbed a “retro” National.  By most accounts, Unadilla was viewed as the rough track so far this year, despite, or perhaps because of the excellent prep done on the track.  As we head into next weekend at Budds Creek, Chad Reed is now the undeniable points leader in the 450 Class while the battle rages on in the 250s between Christophe Pourcel and Ryan Dungey.  Dual points leaders coming into ‘Dilla, Pourcel now has a six-point advantage as the series heads to Maryland.  But rest assured, the championship is far from over.

Jason Lawrence continued his disappearing act again. Always fast, Jason said he fell in practice and his clutch lever crunched down on his knuckles. Come race time, he could barely use the clutch at all and pulled off after half of a lap.
