Jelle - ABA day 2 Phoenix
ABA day 2, Phoenix
Tuesday, 10 March 2009
This morning it was way to early, 7:30 was pro warm up, today im racing A pro.
At 8 the race should start, i felt good and won my first 2 motos in my 3th mto i knew i had low points so i just did the first straight and didnt pedal after the first turn and still managed to get 3 place.
Quarter final, i took the holeshot and won my quarter with Josh Meyers in 2th.
Semi final i had lane 8, my gate wasnt really good but i had the pull on the first straight going into the first turn in second place behind Tyler Faoro, i followed him on the track and managed my second place, i made it to the Main.
The ABA is running 3 mains, so after three mains the guy with the lowest points wins.
Main 1: i had lane 6, i hit the gate a bit, Nic Long had they inside lane and took the holeshot, Faoro in 2nd Wiesendanger in 3th and me in 4th into the first turn. In the second turn i made a move on the outside and passed Wiesendanger, then in the third turn i saw a gab on the inside and moved up to second place!! Main 2: i had lane 1, i was i little late out of the gate so couldnt take the holeshot, i went into the first turn in 2nd place behind Nic, i followed him on the track and waited for my chance to make a move, i did that after the last turn but Nic crossed his fronthweel 5 inches over the finishline before me so 2nd again. Main 3, out of lane 4 i had a good snap and a good pull on the first straight, i took the holeshot, on the second straight i was a bit squirly on the triple but i kept leading and won this main, Nic got second so he had 4 points and i had 5 points. Which gave me the 2nd place overall.

A Pro Results:
1. Nic Long - Intense Phanton/ontrac
2. Jelle van Gorkom - Crupi Factory
3. Tyler Faoro - Morphine Industries
