Reed response …
Chad Reed won a very exciting race for Round 7 in San Diego. He passed Ricky Carmichael on the last lap to win his first main event of the year.
Carmichael took over the lead on the first lap from Jeremy McGrath. RC extended his lead initially, and looked headed towards another win – predictable for this season. But, Reed broke with the predictability of this season, staying very agressive, and started closing on Carmichael in the second half of the race. Reed made the pass on Carmichael during the last lap, and kept it until the checkered flag. Reed and Carmichael were so far ahead of the rest of the field they lapped up to third place. Carmichael did bobble a few corners from the end, but still placed second. Those two riders had the crowd on their feet for the last few laps of a very exciting main event – flash bulbs were going off everywhere.
Reed was pumped. He took a victory lap, stopping at different places along the track, waving at the crowd, smiling, and enjoying the win.
The 125 West division had Nate Ramsey winning the main event over early leader Ivan Tedesco. Tedesco would finish second, with Andrew Short finishing third. Ramsey was enthusiastic on his parade lap after winning, revving the four-stroke KTM as he stopped on the face of the triple, pumping his fist in the air, and pointing to the KTM logo on the gas tank.
Weather had an impact, but not so much on Saturday night’s racing. Rainy weather lead to Friday practice being cancelled, and Saturday’s practices being delayed. But only a small amount of rain came Saturday afternoon and evening, and the night’s racing program had no rain.
Ricky Carmichael had to go thru a semi to make the main. He was leading his heat, and crashed, eventually pulling off. He came back to win the semi, and then heading to the main.
