Main Event Series Opener

3 Palms hosted round 1 of the Main Event/District 20 Championship series, and it started out with a bang. Riders came from all over, check this out...

297 entries from the greater Houston area.
50 entries from East Texas and Louisiana.
38 entries from Central and South Texas.
12 entries from the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.
3 entries from outside Texas or Louisiana.

Starting off in the novice class. Neiheiser, Malhmann, Stockland and Guzak all had success at the summer nationals and all their training showed off, by them going 1,2,3,4 in a stacked 250 C class with a total of 34 riders.

A bunch of 50 riders showed up and it was Jason Stubbs and Tommy LeClere out front of the 4-6 class, while Trevor Spencer took the top spot in the 7-8 over Brae Bergdolt from Central Texas and Superman who is just a few days out of his cast from a broken leg. In the 50 Open class Bergdolt got the win over Superman, Luke Kirtly and one of the youngest riders out there Tommy LeClere.

Vann Martin said goodbye to the B class and hello to the A class by winning the 250 A class, but it was not an easy victory as he battled with Honda of Houston teammate Kyle Swanson. In the 450 A class it was full time college student Ryan Grantom with the early lead and he stretched it out over Fernadez and Doss. By the time Swanson and Martin got into 2nd and 3rd, Grantom had about a 6 second lead. They tracked him down with Swanson getting around him quickly as Martin got hung up with a lapped B rider that was double gatted with them. Finally Martin got around Grantom and the HHR riders went 1-2 at the end.

The 250 B class was won by Dillon Dufrene with Forrest Player near by for 2nd. Austin Reed and Cody Haverfield turned in some good lap times for 3rd and 4th.

There was some impressive riding in the 65 classes, but none more than John Hileman. There is only a handfull of riders that have cleared the finish line table at 3 Palms on a 65, and now Hileman can add is name to that short list. He can jump and he can corner too. Huge leads each time out! 50 winner Bergdolt was impressive and finished 2nd in a field of 20 7-9 year olds.

We all know Kaitlyn Morrow is amazing. I got to the track at 1:30 and notice the track is open for general practice and see Kaitlyn put in an eight lap moto before 3 hours before race practice starts! Then she goes out a holeshots on her Supermini in the Womans class and holds off 3 Palms local fast girl Gabby Morales for the win. Kaitlyn also won her qualifing moto in Supermini, but had problems in the main and settled for 7th.

Louisiana resident Barron Ballard got a couple in 85 wins, with a victory over Scott Haver and Dustin Eaton in the 9-13 Open and a win in 12-13 over Devon Oxsheer and Cameron Kothman. Oxsheer ended up winning the supermini class over Pinball and Justin Walker.

The Vets were out in force with the addition of a few new classes for them. One of those new classes in the Over 50 and Dave Martin piloted his HHR 450 to the win over teammate Andy Munroe. Some of those guys struggle with night races and 3 Palms did a good job of making the lights work better. I commend all of them for showing up in a young mans sport. Espy controlled the Over 30 A, while Stony Horn was looked strong in the Over 40 A/B, while Shannon Day cruised to the Over 40 C/D. Jason Pierce put is KTM in front of the Over 35 Amateur.

I was busy most of the night so I missed a lot of the race action, but I did try to check out as much as I could. Please fill in any of the classes I missed or, add to any of these classes.

I know one thing, the riders in District 20 are excited about the Texas District Final at 3 Palms Oct 29 & 30. The District 41 (North Texas) Series and the District 42 (West Texas) Series will be kicking off soon. By the turnout of our Round 1, those other districts have there work cut out for them!

Pre-Main Event Series jitters

Although we realistically have a few months for the Series to kick-off. But I am waiting impatiently!! I spoke my partner Larry Hughes as he was headed out to the Indy trade show (he also is a Parts Unlimited Rep.) to do sponsorship recruiting and I'm about to jump out of my seat to hear what he brings back.

The AMA Sanctioned event will be bigger and better once again in 2011! Though we have big shoes to fill considering the entries went up 25% in '10, even racers from Florida to Arizona, we are preparred to tackle it and make it even bigger than last year. It is easily becoming one of the States Premiere series', not to mention we added Freestone County Raceway who is famous for bringing the AMA Outdoor Nat'l back to Texas (round 2 in 2011), their promoter Tom Shields and successful businessman and owner Tony Miller.

So how could I not be exstatic? Check back frequently for this years series dates! See you all at the MES Opener!! Ride Safe

Outlaw452.com Sticks with the Main Event Series

From Houston, TX

Outlaw452.com Has Found It's Home! I am proud to say the least that the first year on was a lot of fun but really a way to get an understanding the other side of the fence. 2010 was the second year that we, well I was at a better business stand point to bring more to the series. We have decided what would be best for the Series and we're staying with the 2010 program once again in 2011 and beyond. The entire Outlaw staff is extremely excited for the continuing relationship. As we continue to grow not only as a company but watching the Main Event Series grow as well only adds to the equation. With Sponsors like GoPro, ROCKSTAR, Thor and many others as it is AMA sanctioned things are only growing.

Speaking of adding, Freestone Co Raceway (freestonemx.com) will be on the stops of 11's agenda. With riders from Florida to Arizona in attendance this year, we look forward to expanding EVEN FURTHER next year.

Check back here as often as possible for 2011's schedule and other important info that you will need to know.
