Saturday at Mammoth

| June 26, 2004

Today while Jeremy McGrath had a day of bad luck youngster Thomas Hahn (776) was able to take the win in the 125 pro-class. After an early race battle with Josh Lichtle, Hahn was able to pull out to a comfortable lead to take the win.

McGrath’s bad luck began in his qualifier where he suffered a flat just after he took the lead; forcing him to pull out and ride a semi in order to qualify for the main. Then in the main, after a poor start, he had to make a charge to the front for the whole race.

In the main, while McGrath was busy playing catch-up, Kyle Partridge jumped out to the early lead followed closely by Thomas Hahn and Josh Lichtle. At the halfway point Hahn moved into the lead and began pulling away from Lichtle, in second, while McGrath was quickly moving towards the front. On the last lap McGrath moved into third, while Hahn took a well deserved win over Lichtle in second.

Tomorrow is the last day of racing and it will be time for all of the 250 class riders to have their chance out on the track. Many of the pros that raced today will be out again tomorrow. Adding to the field will be Tortelli; who will be making an appearance to see if he can get a win on the famous circuit.
