Kevin Johnson Struggles Through Starts at Albany, NY AX

Well, I had an up and down weekend at Albany. I had a lot of trouble getting comfortable
on the track. It was really mushy. It
got really rutted and was hard for me to get into a rhythm. I did get a few
tips from some of the other guys, so thanks to them I started feeling Ok. Ok was all I could hope for on this track. On
Friday, I had some bad races and had to go to the last chance of the 125 class
and the semi in the 250. I made both Mains,
barely. I had to start on the second row in both mains. Some how I ended up getting through the pack
the same in both mains and came away with two fifth place finishes. I was
stoked after the way the night had been going.
I also won the jump off, so it was good.
On Saturday, I had another night of great starts, (not
really I was terrible at them). I had to go to the last chance in the 125 again
and the semi in the 250. I made both
mains again, and again won the jump off.
In the 125 main, I got a wonderful start in 14th place. I worked my way to about tenth and then
decided that it would be good to just go slow.
I couldn't get going and I was so frustrated. I ended up finishing 9th in the end. I was not happy about my finish, but at least I had one more
chance to do well. I got a tenth place
start in the 250 and worked my way slowly to fourth, were I finished. I was happy with that. So at the end of the weekend it was ok. I
can't wait to get to a little harder track; I think it will help me a lot.
I would like to invite anyone who is going to be at an
Arenacross this year to get a pit pass and come to our Church service with Team
Faith. Come ask me if you don't know were to go, I would love to show you were
it is. It is a good thing that I don't go to a race just to win. I would be
going crazy with these finishes. I do
want to win. But more importantly, I
just want to be able to tell people that Jesus loves them (and you).
Thanks for all your support and God bless,
Kevin Johnson
