Best in The Desert GPR Laughlin Hare Scrambles 03/06/2010

justinsoule6 — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:06:36 +0000

I was 1st Overall with my partner Gary Sutherlin. I have always heard great things about the Best in the Desert races and I have always wanted to try one, but my schedule never seemed to allow it. I heard about this race Thursday night. The problem was I had to hurry up and find a partner. My friend Gary Sutherlin was able to and made the drive from Phoenix. So I had to scramble to get my practice bike race ready and leave at 4:00 a.m. the next morning for make the 8-9 hour drive to Laughlin.

The course was two seperate loops, the first being 19 miles of fast whooped out sand and the second loop was 18 miles of tight rocky single track. The race started one bike at a time every 30 seconds and we drew the 5th spot. Gary started the race doing the first loop and he was riding like a mad man, handing the bike to me with a 30 second lead. From there I put another 1 and half minute gap on everyone on my loop and we just kept pulling the whole race. It was 4 hours and a lot of fun, I will definitely be back next year.

WORCS Round 2, Primm, Nevada 02/28/2010

justinsoule6 — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 15:57:10 +0000

I finished 2nd out of 27 riders. WORCS did an awesome job with the new venue. It was all off road with some virgin stuff on a 5+ mile course with no motocross. We had a dead engine start and my Kawasaki 450F fired first kick and I had the hole shot. About half way into the first lap I hit a rut and bobbled which allowed Kurt Caselli to make the pass for 1st and now I am in 2nd. I raced so hard and had so much fun on this course. I was able to hold onto 2nd until the 12th lap. I had an all out battle with my team mate Ricky Dietrick for 2nd he was able to get around me. I stayed right on him and was able to make the pass stick and I finished in 2nd with Dietrich finishing in the 3rd spot.

01/31/2010 WORCS Round 1, Surprise, Arizona

justinsoule6 — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 18:10:26 +0000

I finished 10th out of 31 racers. I felt really good and have been working hard in the off season so I was ready to go. The course consists of a motocross track, arenacross track and a Vet track with very little off road racing. I had a terrrible start, rounding the first turn in about 20th place. I moved into 6th by the second lap and was on the move. Third lap I hit a stake in the ground with my handlebar and crashed pretty hard and dropped back to 17th position. I messed my bike up along with my wrist. I was in a lot of pain and just trying to catch up and salvage what I could. I was able to catch up to 10th and salvage some points.

My next race is WORCS Round 2 on February 28th in Primm, Nevada.

3rd WORCS Overall Championship 10/25/2009

justinsoule6 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:28:22 +0000

I finished 4th and also wrapped up 3rd in the WORCS overall Championship. I was looking forward to racing in Mesquite, it is a rough sand track that developes big whoops, my favorite type of riding. The beginning of the race started good, I had a good jump off the start and left the motocross track in 3rd. I stayed in 3rd for the first hour and a half and dropped back to 4th with 30 minutes to go. With the 3rd overall for the year at stake and my KTM team mate Mike Brown in 5th behind me and in good shape for his overall championship I rode conservatively to finish the season strong.

It was a great WORCS season and they finished it off with a really nice awards banquet after the race.

I have one more race this year, Las Vegas Endurocross on November 21st.

2009 Dodge Amateur National Motocross 9/24-26/2009

justinsoule6 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 23:41:25 +0000

In my 1st lap of practice I broke my suspension. I had already paid my entry and gate fee’s. I figured I may have to race a WORCS or GNCC race with no suspension so I am already here so I may as well get some seat time in. It was tough jumping and my suspension tucked in every rut but I did manage to pull off an 8th in my first moto and 9th in my second moto, it was a 3 moto format. I decided to pull out of the last moto. My suspension was totally shot and I have my big race coming up and it was not worth it. So I am credited with 16th out of 33 Pro’s. Regardless it was good practice without suspension.

I went 1-1 in my moto’s. I haven’t been to the Hanford Motocross track in 8 years or so. It was fun practice, but I was disappointed in the turn out, but any race is a good race.

WORCS Round 9 Glen Helen MX, Devore, CA 09/20/2009

justinsoule6 — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:25:32 +0000

I finished 5th. What a fun but grueling race. It was so hot and dry with temperatures around 100 degrees, in a 2 hour race it really takes its toll on you. The race started with 34 Pro’s and only 25 finished, there were a few injuries but nothing serious. I have to say WORCS did a great job finding some new areas to race on.

My start wasn’t bad about 8th or 9th. When we went into the off road we entered a gnarly single track of which the first 5 or 6 riders made it through clean. I was behind Taylor Robert and Brenden Ritzman when Robert crashed totally blocking the track. It was unpassable so we had to wait for Robert to get his bike going. Right behind me were bikes crashed and a huge bottle neck forming, the semi pro’s had caught up to the remaining pros’s. WORCS officials ended up closing this section and rerouted all of the riders around, what a mess. I really had to put my head down and try and catch the lead group who were several minutes ahead by this time.

I would like to have been on the box, but under the circumstances was glad to make it up to 5th. I am now 3rd in points for the series overall. My next race is the final WORCS race on October 25th in Mesquite, Nevada.
