TYLER KIRSCHNER – 85 (12-14) STOCK AND MOD
RESULTS: 85 12-15 STOCK 21-30-30 FOR 28TH / 85 12-15 MOD 16-24-23 FOR 21ST
This was “Lil Donk’s” first year on the 85 and after 2 top 5’s on the 65 here last year and a good season thus far he was prepared to come in here and be a top 10 competitor. That unfortunately didn’t happen. However, be sure to keep an eye on him as a top contender for next year.
BRADY KIESEL – SCHOOL BOY 1 (12-16 2 STROKE)
RESULTS: DNF – 8 – DNF FOR 30TH
Brady was coming into Loretta’s on a good run. Tearing up the local events all year long. Top 5’s in Texas and Ponca had him looking to continue at Tennessee. Unfortunately, those plans did not pan out. Moto 1 he drew a 38th gate pick, but worked his way from 23rd in lap 1 to 6th. On lap 3 he was landed on by Cole Thompson and broke the clutch perch resulting in DNF. Moto 2 finished 8th with a burned up clutch. Moto 3 ran over the exposed pipe on the track on the parade lap and he had to start the race with a flat tire. He passed his way around Oldenburg and Savatgy for 4th place at the end of lap 1. He washed out getting back up in 11th and passed his way to 7th and fell again, only to have another rider run into his bike ripping the gas tank in half. As a result he got a DNF. If it wasn’t for bad luck Brady wouldn’t of had any luck at all in Loretta’s 2010.
CHRISTINA OLDER – GIRLS 12-15
RESULTS: 32-2-3 FOR 10TH OVERALL
Christina was One’s main title hopeful this year. Finishing second at Loretta’s last year and shredding all competition locally, she was primed and ready. Unfortunately, Christina had 2 crashes in the first moto and lost her shot at a championship. Older is a strong girl and proved it by keeping her cool, giving no excuses, and finished the last 2 motos on the box. Christina is one of the youngest and fastest girls out on the dirt. Keep your eye on her at Mini O’s this November.
BRYCE STEWART – 250 B MOD / 450 B MOD
RESULTS: 250 B MOD 4-9-8 FOR 5TH / 450 B MOD 31-2-12 FOR 11TH
Bryce is the seasoned veteran with One Industries. Beginning his career with ONE graphics on an 80 and now to being a top amateur rider. He represents ONE’s graphics / gear / and helmets. Bryce has had an up and down season so far with some crashes and bad starts keeping him from some big wins. Bryce did have some good rides but could not keep the bike off the ground all the time. Saving a top 5 and putting himself on the podium took a little sting out.
