First race up was Moto #1 for the 450MX class where CANIDAE rider
Tommy Hahn would face off against 40 of the toughest riders in the
world. Tommy would enter the famous "Talladega Turn" inside the top 10
and finish lap 1 in 8th place. Hahn would battle with Chad Reed and
Mike Brown for most of the race and take the checkered flag in 7th
place. A great ride for Hahn and CANIDAE Motosport Kawasaki.

Moto #1 for the 250MX riders was next and CANIDAE riders P.J. Larsen
and Kyle Cunningham would take their shot at the fast and rough track.
Cunningham would only make 7 laps due to a broken finger he obtained
while testing for the event just days before the event. Larsen, who
suffered from a poor start showed his speed while coming through the
pack even with a rear flat tire that he suffered in the first 10
minutes of the race. P.J. would crash while pushing it to the limits in
a fast, soft corner sending the bike all the way off the track.
Somehow, the rookie rider pulled the bike back onto the track, under
the banners and fences and remounted to finish a remarkable 18th place.

Moto #2 for the 450 guys was almost a replay of the first with Hahn
jumping out to a great start and holding his place inside the top 10
for the exhausting 30 minutes + 2 laps moto. Mixing it up for most of
the race with the factory "Red Riders" Hahn would improve on position
from the first moto and finish in 6th place which would net him a 6th
place finish overall, a fantastic way to start the new season.

Moto #2 for the 250 "Lites" riders was exciting and the CANIDAE
Motosport Kawasaki riders bounced back to show they will be riders to
contend with all season long. Cunningham would fight through the severe
pain to finish 13th on the extremely rough SoCal track. Larsen would
finish just outside the top 10 in 11th place, a great finish for this
rising star.

CANIDAE is extremely proud of the team, riders and their wonderful
efforts. Please join us as we head to The Hangtown Classic outside of
Sacramento, CA May 30th. See you there!
