Round 4 at Jordan! - Klier Productions

No flurries this time. Thankfully, we finally saw some sun and warmth for Saturday’s Motokazie Round 4 at Jordan!

I was on the backup machine for practice Saturday morning, and remembered just how different of a chassis the carbureted YFZ models have than the later fuel injected models. I finally figured things out well into the first session, and I ended up having four full sessions of great riding!

The racing team had several highlights. Christian Wimmer pulled a massive holeshot in the heat race (in the starting video below), coming out first place all the way through the step-up…even in front of the separate “A” class that dropped together. It was definitely something that Christian had in him, and as usual, the guy quietly plans his strategy and then goes out and surprises us in the actual race. Sadly, he thinks he might have injured his wrist a bit and sat out the main event. But something tells me this kid will be back soon and once again planning a strategy to surprise us all.

Also, it was Alex’s son Zaphrey’s first time riding on a track! He has a 90cc DRR machine which was just recently acquired, and besides some last minute butterflies, he was absolutely sold on the idea of motocross from the first lap. He loved the practice sessions, and opted to race in Mini Quad 90 Semi Stock/Rec class that night! The kick starter snapped off right after the heat race, but thanks to some help from fellow DRR riders, Alex had Zaphrey going again with a fresh one before the main event. Zaphrey took 8th place.

Kyle Lundin was just flying out there. The kid has grown so much since I watched him try to navigate a Raptor 660 around the Litchfield track during his 1st race. He took 2nd place in the main event on a Kawasaki machine he built and maintains himself.
