We were Smoke Free in Salmon Idaho for Round Three of the Idaho State Championship Motocross Series ( 16, 17 May).
The Races were held at the Sacajawea Motosports Park, in Salmon Idaho.
What a great weekend! We had a little trouble on the trip up as my partner Matt hit a deer with his vehicle, just outside of Stanley. The good news is, noone was hurt and we were able to pull together and get the Smokefree83 Team to Salmon in one piece.
The weather was beautiful, it was about 85 degrees and sunny all weekend. Perfect racing weather.
The track at Salmon is challenging to say the least. The motto at their track is "Go Big or Go Home". The track is huge, it is nice and wide with rolling hills and the lap times are almost three minutes. They have a set of whoops that make you grit your teeth every time you go through them and a big rhythm jump section that they call the six pack. They say they have the biggest track in Idaho, with the biggest jumps and the biggest whoops. It was fun.
It was the perfect race weekend for me. My Project Filter backed Yamaha YZ250F was running great at the higher elevation and had no problems roosting the 450s as we made our way around the track. I won both motos on Saturday and both on Sunday for the overall wins both days. I am excited because these wins put me in the points lead for the series.
There were alot of spectators out enoying the weather and we were able to talk with several people about Project Filter and our campaign for Idaho to be Smoke Free. The weather, the people and the races were great. Thank You to the all the volunteers of the Salmon Motocross Association for your hard work in making it a successful race weekend.
The next round is in Rupert, Idaho on 13, 14 June. See ya there.........................
