Moto XXX Goes Down, But Not Out in Indianapolis
By definition, no privateer&squot;s season is complete without generous amounts of bad luck. As everyone at Unbound Energy/Moto XXX knows, teams are not exempt from it either. The tenth year squad definitely hit a rough patch in Indianapolis last weekend, but all was definitely not lost.
Timmy Ferry&squot;s performance was the highlight of the weekend. At one point in practice, he had the 7th fastest lap time and felt confident going into the evening program. Once the lights came on, "Red Dog" took an easy route to the main event by finishing second in his semi-final. In the Supercross main, he got a solid start and rounded the first turn inside the top ten. During the next 20 laps, he battled with multiple factory riders and continued to turn solid times. He finished the race in 9th, his second top-ten performance in 3 races, and now sits 13th in the AMA standings. With the series heading to Timmy&squot;s home state of Florida for the next couple of weeks, he&squot;s understandably upbeat and plans to move further up in the running order.
Unfortunately, not everything went so well. Kyle Lewis crashed after coming up short in a rhythm section during practice and was unable to continue. He suffered a facial fracture and looked a lot worse for wear when it was all said and done. Because of a potential risk to his vision in one eye, "Lucky" will sit out the Daytona Supercross and very possibly Orlando as well.
Josh Summey went into Indy with the momentum of his 11th place finish in Atlanta. He was riding well, but got involved in a collision during his heat race. He hit the ground hard and was advised by the Asterisk Mobile Medical staff to visit a local emergency room to be sure that no serious damage had occurred. Wisely, Josh did so and was cleared to race. Unfortunately, he came up just short in his attempt to get back to the track in time for the LCQ. The good news is that he&squot;ll be ready to go Friday night in Daytona.
Finally, Juss Laansoo resumed his Supercross education in Indianapolis. Once again, he qualified into the night show and rode admirably from then on. With the foot injury behind him, Juss plans to use the remaining Supercross rounds as a learning experience while preparing for his assault on the 2006 Outdoor Nationals.
