Loretta Area Qualifier

Gravity Alley Extreme Motocross Park

March 5-6, 2011

Breaux Bridge, LA

Dirt Bike Mike put on another well-run event down in the crawfish capital of the world. Despite the predicted storms, there were 200 entries. Although Saturday was a wash-out, the Gravity Alley crew used two dozers, a front-end loader and a massive tractor to drain and reshape the track overnight. By Sunday, the sun, along with 15-20 mph winds did the rest.

Louisiana riders Adam Cedillo and Tyler Glascock sprinted away from the 450B modified class in moto one. Tennessee rider Judson Wisdom finished third and Jeffery Cain fourth. In the second moto it was Glascock, Cedillo, Cain, Wisdom and Ty Jones.

In the next race another LA rider; Andrew Goulas drew a challenge from Arkansas racer Lukas Tankersley. Jacob Templet and Dillon Suire captured third and fourth for the home boys, while Utah’s Alex Mecham rounded out the top five. Mecham had this to say when asked to rate the LA track: "I bad day at a Lousiana track is better than a good day at a Utah track. I love these tracks down here!"

In the second moto it was Goulas again, but this time followed by a hard-charging Dillon Suire, Colten Dore, Alex Mecham and Jacob Templet.

It was no surprise that Hunter Hilton won the first moto of the 85 (12-14) class. What was a surprise was that Logan Matherne kept him in sight from second place. T-Don Lerille, Barron Bellard and Wyatt Fontenot rounded out the top five. Lerille followed Hilton in the second moto, with Matherne, Fontenot and Landry Lyle in tow.

Alabama rider Kyler Godwin won the first moto of the 85 (9-11) with Mississippian Dave Myatt taking second. Godwin also scored a double moto victory in the 65 (7-11) class over Nicholas Charpentier, Preston Jones, Jerry Long and Holden Martin.

Aaron Sanches looked to be the fastest of all amateur riders of the event, striking a 1-1 victory in the 250B class in front of Adam Cedillo, Jordan Giambelluca, Chad Goutierez and Alex Lejeune. Sanches also won both motos of the College B/C class over Tyler Glascock, Zack Thibodaux, Chad Goutierez and Joshua Magee.

Another impressive performance was put on by Baton Rouge’s Forrest Smith. He easily beat Jordan Giambelluca, Alex Lejeune, Gage Bloodworth and Micah Goulas to the flag in both motos of the Schoolboy 2.

The track got rough, with ruts up to a foot deep and breaking bumps that tested the suspension. At one point we had riders down in different sections of the track. But that’s the way the skilled racer’s like it!

Kida participated in a Supercross track-building competition and the winners received 16 tickets to the Dallas Supercross.
