Race Report: OMA Rnd 6, Millville Minnesota
Rider: Paul Whibley
Team: AmPro Yamaha
Bike: Yamaha YZ 450
Result: 1st
Round 6 of the OMAs was held at the famous Millville MX track in Minnesota. This event is one of the more fun races on the OMA circuit and attracts a good turnout of riders wanting to tackle the MX track and thrash around in the woods.
I had been practicing my starts and although I don't think I have it perfected yet on the YZ I was able to lead into the first turn only getting passed when fast starter Jordan Ashburn swept around the outside to take the hole shot honors.
I regained the lead a couple turns later and began to check out. I moved out to a 15 second on the first lap and was able to watch Scott Watkins in second.
I was expecting to have to make two fuel stops and the lap before I came in for gas I pushed the lead out to close to a minute and was in and out before Scott entered the pits.
After another couple of laps I came in for the final splash of gas to get me to the finish. Continuing to pad my lead, I was out to about a minute and a half by the finish although Scott Watkins rode a strong race and kept the pressure on through most of the day.
With that win I have now moved into the points lead of the OMAs with only four rounds of the 2010 edition to go.
