Okay folks, Saturday isn't just a motocross now, it's the big one! The top 3 countries of off road racing will not be final until this afternoon with the last motocross. They will run the Trophy & Jrs teams in order of finish times, starting with E-3 B, then E-3 A which will include Nathan Kanney and David K. (oh yeah and Marko Tarkkala); then E-2 B, followed by E-2 A which will have Destry A., Jimmy J., and Nathan Woods (and Juha Salminen); Then E-1 B, and finally the E-1 A with Ricky D.
Kurt C. and his team met last night and got their strategy down. It will be tight. The start is a Leman's start where the fastest guy gets the pole position with 3 other fast guys on his line. So in Nathan Woods' race, he is in 32nd position - that's in row 8 on the outside! Really sucks for him! But we are confident that he can hold his own with 31 other riders in 7 laps. But Juha has the pole position.
Ricky D. is on line 1 of his moto, so he should be in great shape. He will be bringing home the bacon so to speak...It could very well be down to the final second! Whatever time difference between the Finnish and the Americans will be settled in Ricky's moto.
I just can't believe that after 5 long, hard days of racing that there is less than a 3 second difference in time between the Finnish & USA!
GO USA!!
Thanks for all you support for the team - it means a lot to them to know that you are there for them!
Best regards,

PS David will also be in the E-3 A moto with Nate Kanney.
