Yamaha/ITP Quadcross Series Round 4 Speedworld MX Park, Surprise, AZ 6/19/10
Round four of the 2010 Yamaha/ITP Quadcross series was held at Speedworld MX Park in Surprise, AZ. The first of two visits to the facility for the 2010 season. Speed world is unique in that they hold the only night races in the Quadcross schedule, mostly to try and overcome the heat of racing in Arizona during the summer months. Temperatures were somewhat mild for this weekends race as the daytime high was about 106 degrees with temps cooling down to the low 90’s when the sun went down. The Speedworld track is fast and smooth with lots of jumps, aggressive passes can be made but the track gets a little one lined so getting a good start is key.
Moto 1: The #94 YFZ 450R Of Nelson rocketed off the concrete start pad and pulled to a great holeshot. Nelson was in command of lead and would not look back dominating the moto!
EKS BARNDS Beau Baron rounded the first lap in 3rd. Baron was still 3rd at the half way mark and started closing on Noss who sat in the second spot. They would battle for the remainder of the moto with Baron falling just short at the finish.
Moot 2: Nelson jumped out of the gate and grabbed a massive holeshot. He again would ride flawlessly to the finish never being challenged!
Baron gated in 3rd and quickly made an aggressive pass on Noss at the end of the first lap pushing him over a berm and putting himself into the 2nd position.
The top two running order would stay the same to the finish.
