Team Green Collects 17 Titles at JS7 Spring Championship
On the Cusp
Kawasaki Team Green looked impressive in all of the big bike classes at Freestone with Mitchel Harrison taking the 250 A championship with a 2-1-3 result on his KX™ 250F. Darian Sanyei and Mark Worth both won motos in the 250A and 450A class respectively. After coming together on the track during the second 250 A moto, both were unable to continue. Joey Crown also claimed a title in exciting fashion, battling to the checkered flag to win the second moto in the 250B Limited class. In the Vet classes it was Team Green stalwart Earl May sweeping four motos and taking two titles in the Senior 45+ and Masters 50+ classes while Abram Zies went 1-2 to claim the Vet B/C class.
Superstars
Kobusch, Garrett Marchbanks, and Jett Reynolds flew the Team Green flag in the Supermini and 85cc classes combing to win four titles. Kobusch won the 85cc (9-13) and Mini Sr. classes by taking control and winning the second moto on his KX™85. Kobusch also collected a second place in the Supermini 1 class and a third place in the 85cc (12-14) class. Reynolds took home the checkers in both motos in the 85cc (9-11) class to take the championship. In the Supermini 2 class Marchbanks went 2-1 to take the title.
WMX
The second round of the WMX series took place in Freestone and Kylie Fasnacht remained perfect scoring two moto wins and claiming her second overall win of the season. Fasnacht led a Kawasaki sweep of the top two positions with Marissa Markelon finishing 2-2 on her KX™250F.
Plethora of Weather
The riders not only battled a notoriously tough track, which has previously hosted AMA Pro Motocross Nationals, they battled the elements as well. Mother nature provided a variety of rain, wind, heat and chill to keep the riders, and the mechanic’s tuning their bikes, on their toes. The rain was so heavy before the last day, the track had to be shortened.
