50 Limited In the first moto there was some good battles going on through the pack. Cameron Dufault #9 and Davis Eames #80 were out in front in 1st and 2nd and put a good lead on the rest of the pack but she couldn’t quite catch up enough to get around him. In the first two laps Daniel Balzano #5 caught up to and fought his way around Joey Martin #17 to move into 5th. Also in those first few laps Nicholas Kirby #12x passed his way up past Kolton Gillilan #16 and Tyler Rich #919 to move up to 6th and kept on going to move up and battle with Martin #17 side by side at times. Then in the next lap Balzano #5 got around Madison Farris #13x and then when Eames #80 slowed down for some reason he started to close the gap to get to her but not close enough and Balzano stayed in 3rd. In those last few laps Kirby12x did finally get around Martin #17 in that middle corner and then got past Farris #13x by the end. They finished out with Dufault #9 in 1st, Eames #80 in 2nd, Balzano #5 in 3rd, Kirby #12x in 4th, Farris #13x in 5th, Martin #17 in 6th, Rich #919 in 7th, Gillilan #16 in 8th, and Hall #99 in 9th. In the second moto however once they got into position in that first lap there wasn’t too much change. Dufault #9 got out in front and stayed there. Eames #80 passed her way up into 2nd and held onto it. Behind her was Balzano #5 in 3rd, Kirby #12x in 4th, Martin #17 in 5th, Farris #13x in 6th, Gillilan #16in 7th, Rich #919 in 8th, and Hall #99 in 9th.

NEATV/Round 1/Walden MX/Wallkill, NY/4.26.09 50 Limited In the first moto of the first race of the new season Cameron Default #9 took the hole shot followed closely by Nicholas Kirby #12x and Daniel Balzano #5.  Unfortunately in that first lap Balzano #5 broke down in the first corner after the hole shot and it took him a little while to get going again so he went from 2nd to last.  Also in that first lap Davis Eames #80 was and Drake Jean #11 were able to pass a few people and move up in position so that by the next lap the order was Default #9 still hanging onto first, Jean #11 in 2nd, Eames #80 in 3rd, Joey Martin #17 in 4th, Kirby #12x in 5th, Kolton Gillian #16 in 6th, Alex Martin #213 in 7th, and Tyler Rich #919 in 8th.  Most of the riders were able to hold their positions though in that last lap Balzano #5 was finally able to catch up to the group and pass out Rich #919 while going over the start finish jump for 8th place.  And Default #9 and Jean #11 were really close in that last lap, actually side by side in the whoops section.  It looked like Jean was going to be able to pass him but Default #9 was able to hold on to finish in 1st leaving Jean #11 in 2nd, Eames #80 in 3rd, Martin #17 in 4th, Gillilan #16 in 5th, followed by Martin #213, Balzano #5, and Rich #919.  Kirby #12x ended up with a DNF for the first moto and DNS for the second moto.  In the second moto Rich #919 took the hole shot but was soon passed by Jean #11 who held onto first place throughout this moto.  Our winner of the first moto Default #9 didn’t get onto the track until the second lap so he ended up playing catch up with the rest of the pack.  Eames #80 was able to move up into 2nd and held onto it until she tried to jump the double and crashed moving all the back in the last lap.  Behind her was J. Martin #17 in 3rd, Balzano #5 in 4th, A. Martin #213 in 5th, Gillilan #16 in 6th, and Rich #919 in 7th.  With all the mishaps with our top riders this moto finished out with Jean#11 in 1st place, J. Martin #17 in 2nd, Balzano #5 in 3rd, A. Martin #213 in 4th, Gillilan #16 in 5th, followed by Rich #919, Eames #80 and Default #9

NEATV Youth Rally Around Round 2 50 Limited The 50”s will run a shortened track at MX207.  Due to some light rain overnight the kid’s classes were moved back in the lineup a bit to allow the larger machines to “dry” the track out a bit. In Moto 1 Jake Jean #11 got the holeshot followed by Joey Martin #17, Cameron Dufault #9, and Davis Eames #80.  Eames will pass Dufault shortly after and Dufault will fall back significantly on the first lap.  Eames will then pass Martin just before the split however; the two riders will get tangled in the split.  This will allow the lead – Jake Jean to create quite a lead for himself.  The split is not a little rutted from the bigger machines, making it a little more difficult for these small machines to work their way through.  By the end of lap 1 Jean will hold the lead followed by Kolton Gillilan #16, Nicholas Kirby #12x, Daniel Balzano #5, Davis Eames #80, Joey Martin #17, Tyler Rich #919, and Cameron Dufault #9.  Just after the finish line Balzano will pass Kirby moving into third.  Eames is now charging her way to front and will pass both Kirby and Balzano.  At the end of the third lap Eames will pass Gillilan and move into second.  It would be incredibly tough for Eames to catch Jean at this point.  While the other riders were getting caught up he was holding steady in the front.  Jean will lap Dufault just before the finish line on the fourth lap.  Jean will take the checkered flag followed by Eames, Gillilan, Kirby, Balzano, Martin, Dufault, and Rich.  Moto 2 will bring Cameron Dufault #9 the holeshot followed by Jean and Martin.  Jean will pass Dufault just before the split and take the lead.  Laps were cut to 3 in this moto.  By the end of lap one it will be Jean, Dufault, Eames, Kirby, Martin, Gillilan, Balzano, and Rich.  The riders will stay in their positions all three laps, except for Martin who will make a pass on Kirby in the second lap.  Jean will take the checkered and the overall win for the day followed by Dufault, Eames, Martin, Kirby, Gillilan, Balzano and Rich.

NEATV - Jolly Roger Motorsports - Lempster, NH - May 24 50 Limited In the 50 limited class there were 8 riders in total from all over New England and there were thankfully no major issues in this class, everyone finished the race. In the first moto Cameron Dufault #9 took the hole shot and held onto the lead throughout the race, actually putting some distance between himself and the rest of the pack.

Behind her was Joseph Martin #17, Jacob Jean #11, Kolton Gillilan #16, Daniel Balzano #5, Nicholas Kirby #12, and Tyler Rich #919. By the second lap Balzano #5 had gotten around Gillilan #16 and while they were on top of each other for awhile he started to pull away by the last lap. In the final lap Jean #11 got around Martin #17 for 3rd place leaving Martin in 4th, Balzano in 5th, and Kirby #12 got around Gillilan in that last lap to finish in 6th with Gillilan in 7th, and Rich in 8th. In the second moto Kirby #12 took the hole shot followed by Gillilan #16 and Dufault #9. However, Dufault soon got around Gillilan going into the back to take 2nd and then Jean #11 moved up and around Gillilan by the third lap and then in the last lap Jean moved up past both Dufault and Kirby to take over that 1st place position leaving Dufault in 2nd and Kirby in 3rd (Gillilan had fallen way behind at some point though not sure what happened). Then Eames #80 pulled up and around Kirby to take over that 3rd place position going into the back section in that last lap. Our leaders were side by side battling it out in the last lap and it finished out with Dufault finishing in 1st, Jean in 2nd, Eames in 3rd, Kirby in 4th, Balzano in 5th, Rich in 6th, Martin in 7th, and Gillilan in 8th.
