Mini Olympics

Fri, 15 Dec 2006 08:17:32 GMT

The week got started off rough. I got knocked down right out of the gate in the 125B stock class, but I got right back up and charged back up to sixth, then I high-sided and hyperr-extended my thumb. I didn't qualify for that class. It was tough to ride, but I still went out and won my 250B stock and 125B mod qualifiers and finished third in my 250B mod qualifier. I went to the LCQ for my 125B stock class and won that.

In the mains I struggled with bad starts and falling, I can't even tell you what I finished in any of the four classes as I fell in every main, usually by being takin out.

In the motocross, it started out rough again, finishing eighth in my 125B stock qualifier. I fell in my 250B stock qualifier and didn't qualify and finished second in my 125B mod and 250B mod qualifiers. I went to the LCQ for the 250B stock class and won by a mile.

In the mains for motocross, I got a bad start in 125B stock and the muddy, one lined conditions hithered my performance. In the 250B stock class, I pulled the holeshot from the outside and went on to win the moto! In my 125B mod main, I got a fifth place start and made all the right moves on the first lap to move into the lead, I went on to win this moto also, winning my first national championship! I took it a little easy in the 250B mod main as my thub was hurting and I finished up the moto in a strong fifth place.

I have since gone to the doctor and had surgery on my thumb. I tore the ligament and pulled a chunk of bone from the thumb. The went in and reattached it with two pins. I will be out until December 27. Then I will be on my way to the Florida Winter Ams where I will be racing the A and pro classes.

I raced at High Point today. I felt really good the whole day and walked away with 6 moto wins and 3 overalls for the day, winning everything I entered. Then the following Monday we went to Jeff Cernic`s track, Pleasure Valley. The track was awesome and really rough and Jeff did a great job with it making some great racing action. I ened up with 6 more moto wins there and 3 overalls again.

I had some really good battles with Austin Stroupe throughout the wkend and I got a couple of moto wins out of it. But he edged me out in all four of the overalls. We had our class and the A class outpaced all weekend. I went on to get second in all four classes.

This past weekend was good at Top Gun MX in Iron City, North Carolina. I want on to holeshot 6 motos and win all 6 motos with ease in the 125B, 250B, and 4-stroke classes. I am getting ready to go to High Point for the Amateur day and watch the pros this weekend. Then I am staying up north and practicing all week and getting ready for my Regional qualifiers at High Point. I will be trying to qualify in the 125B stock and modified classes, 250B modified, and the 4-stroke class. PJ Larsen

Race @ Myrtle Beach MX

Wed, 17 May 2006 00:00:00 GMT

I had a great weekend at Myrtle Beach MX. The track was awesome, the people who run it were awesome. It was just a great weekend. I seemed untouchable as I went on to holeshot 6 for 6 motos and win every moto by a long shot. I was the fastest tehre this weekend and I just felt really good on my Kawasaki`s. PJ Larsen

I have raced every weekend since the Texas Nationa...

Mon, 08 May 2006 00:00:00 GMT

I have raced every weekend since the Texas Nationals. As you may have seen, I have won most motos. In the past three weeks, I have done two Carolina Ultra Series races, and a Georgia Chamionship Series Race. IN both of the Carolina Ultra Series races, Austin Stroupe showed up. I felt really good. I was right on pace with him, but my starts weren`t so good in a couple motos. If I started with him, I would run with him. As far as the GCS race, I won all but one moto, which i fell in and still got third place and I still got the overall in that class. All is well here, after a couple of crashes at Parker Valley. I am working on putting everything together for my upcoming regionals at High Point and at Millcreek. I will be racing the 125B Stock and Modified, 250B Modified, and the 4-Stroke classes at both of these regionals. I look forward to seeing everybody at the Ponca City and Loretta Lynn Nationals in a couple of fast paced weeks. PJ Larsen
