Action is happening fast !!! Hey, My grandson just experienced his first rally vendor effort in Southern California.

Kawasaki’s Jo Shimoda Second Overall at Southwick

General Posts / By Wayfarer

Monster Energy®/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Jo Shimoda Second Overall at Southwick July 9, 2022 | The Wick 338 | Southwick, Mass. Foothill Ranch, Calif. (July 10, 2022) – The AMA Pro Motocross Championship paid a visit to the famous sand pits of The Wick 338 in Southwick, Massachusetts, as the 2022 Championship reached the halfway mark. Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki rider Jo Shimoda stayed true to his current form, extending his overall event podium count in the 250 Class this season to four with a second overall finish. Meanwhile, teammate Seth Hammaker overcame adversity in his first visit to The Wick 338 to finish 11th overall (10-12). In the 450 Class, Monster Energy Kawasaki rider Jason Anderson earned 8-6 moto finishes for eighth overall with Joey Savatgy finishing 12th overall (9-16). Summer in New England brought clear skies and mild temperatures combined with another reverse race schedule where the 450 Class would take the track first, leaving rougher conditions ahead for the 250 Class. The Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki duo kicked off qualifying with Shimoda looking to carry momentum from last weekend’s historic win and sat at the top of the leaderboard briefly during the second session before finishing with the fifth fastest lap (2:13.514). Teammate Hammaker ranked 11th with his best lap time of 2:14.514 as he got adjusted to the tricky sand track where momentum is crucial. The opening 250 Class moto of the day began with Shimoda crossing the Holeshot line inside the top-10 and Hammaker several positions back. The No.30 wasted no time chasing down the lead riders during the early parts of the moto. As the race entered the latter stages, a three-way battle for second began to form. A slight miscue by the third place rider was all Shimoda needed to advance and continue charging until he caught

Always Hope for the Best ! Hey, We are flying through this year. Every Monday, I tell the redhead, “Hang on. This week will be exciting, and it is.” I’m working with a book designer in Rapid City to convert the Terry the Tramp book onto Amazon books files. Already started making shit in the garage. This is an effort to organize and find spots for all my shit. It is going to be a test in patience and organization. We are grappling with positioning and bolting down our new Smithy Lathe. We put it in on the counter with skidster forks, but it needs positioning. I’m working with Atomic Bob and Andy, of Crank and Stroker apparel for our Bonneville T-shirts. Hang on for more reports, but in the meantime ride fast and free, goddammit. –Bandit CLICK Here to Read the Latest Weekly News only on Bikernet.com * * * * Join the Cantina & celebrate 25 years of Bikernet.com Discounts for One Yeas as well as Two Year Memberships.
