Chad Johnson & Kurt McCabe take 1st place Arenacross Round 1 Results Grand Rapids , Mi
Posted by adminJan 8
Results from the 2010 Arenacross Season in Grand Rapids, MI Friday Jan 8th 2010.
From the looks of it, if the rest of the 2010 Arenacross season goes like Friday night’s race did then Jeff Gibson and Chad Johnson will be battling head to head the entire season. Jeff Gibson got the holeshot and lead all but the final 2 & 1/2 laps as former Tuf Racing team Member and Former Arenacross National Champion Chad Johnson now riding a Kawasaki for Team Kawasaki Monster Energy Babbitts pressured Gibson and made the pass and made it stick winning round one in Grand Rapids. Jeff Gibson and team Manager Tracin Seng will no doubt take a look at what then need to do to improve upon to take the win Saturday Night for round 2.

Also 2009 Lites Central Arenacross Champion stepped up his game and proved that he is #1 for a reason winning the AX Lites class round one in Grand Rapids. Team mate Ricky Draper from Bellevue, Ne finished a respectable 12th place out of 16. Let look for Ricky to make it into the top 10 Saturday night.

First of all, we corrected the AX Series’ mistake that Ricky was on a Yamaha. He is most definitely on a HONDA. The new 2010 CRF250R is the best 250 ever in my opinion. To say the field was stacked would be an understatement, and those who made the night show should pat themselves on the back. There were 46 riders I think in the Lites Friday, 50 on Saturday. Ricky was 13th fastest in qualifying on Friday and 8th fastest on Saturday. Kurt McCabe was the fastest each night.
Taylor Futrell got the holeshot Friday, but Kurt got him early and checked out. Ricky went down on the first lap, but recovered for a decent 12th place finish, passing Futrell on the last lap. Just making the main was a success after a string of injuries that have kept Ricky sidelined for so long. Saturday, Kurt got a poor start but soldiered his way to 4th at the end. Ricky again made the main right out of his heat race, but took a spill in the whoops on lap one and never really recovered. I think everyone knows how insane the whoops are on lap one of an Arenacross!! So now Kurt leads the East points and Ricky made a huge leap forward to get his Supercross Lites endorsement. Next up, Baltimore…
