Out west, Gavin Faith was picked up by Geico Honda to fill in for injured Wil Hahn. Since his ride was only for the West Coast Lites series, Gavin was racing in the Supercross class aboard a completely privateer Honda CRF450. Gavin is a very tall kid, so we would have to imagine that the 450 fit him a little better than the 250. Gavin made it into the main event through the LCQ, where he then finished the main event in 17th.
How privateer was Faith in Dallas? Here is his set up out of the back of his white van.
Valli/Star Racing/Yamaha’s Nico Izzi has moved up to the Supercross class for the East Coast series. Izzi showed great speed all day long, qualifying well and parlaying that into a decent showing during the night show where he finished 18th in the main event.
Thankfully the Cowboys Stadium was covered, because outside up to two inches of rain fell throughout the day. Due to the rain, many of the teams had their pits closed up from the elements.
We’re not sure if we have just never noticed it before, but Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Blake Baggett runs his bars very swept back.
