Round 2 of the Idaho State Motocross Championship Series was held in beautiful Glenns Ferry, Idaho. The weather was a little cloudy, a little windy and a little cold but that’s Racin….
The Smokefree83 Team traveled down on Friday to take advantage of the test and tune practice day. The track was in good race ready condition and Matt and I were able to put a few laps in together while preparing for the weekends races.

The track was tight and technical, Matt and I shared some strategies and showed each other a couple different line options.
In the first moto on Saturday I rounded the first turn in second place, I quickly passed for
the lead but was unable to run away. I held the lead for a tough two laps. I got passed twice and ended up coming across the finish line in third. In the second moto I got the
holeshot and held a good lead for the first three laps. Second place wasn’t about to let me
go and we nearly traded paint as he finally got around me in a tight corner. I was unable
to get him back and ended up finishing second in the moto. That put me second overall
on the day which was a little boost in the points and earned a nice trophy as well.
Moto one on Easter Sunday was a little rough. I started out in fourth and passed for third
quickly so that I did not lose sight of the leaders. I was having a tough moto, I blew a
corner, nearly kissed my front fender and laid it over in a tight turn. Needless to say I
finished outside of the top three but I made it through it all unharmed. I refocused and
came out for moto two with a vengeance. Once again the Project Filter Yamaha shot me
to the front of the pack as I grabbed the holeshot. As always my competition was fierce
and we freight trained around the tight Glenn’s Ferry track. I stayed in the fight and
ended up finishing second in the moto. I ended up third overall on the day.
All together it was a great Easter weekend at the races. Motocross is a family sport and it
showed on Sunday as we all gathered during intermission for an egg toss competition and
Easter egg hunt for the kids. Matt and his egg toss partner Zac, from the Smokefree83
Team, won the egg toss competition.
Thank You to Project Filter for the support and the incredible opportunity to help in the
fight against Tobacco use, it is making a difference………….
