Rennen/Intense kicked off its 2009 ABA campaign in Oldsmar Florida this past weekend and fared well, tying for the factory team win on day one. Here’s how our individual riders fared:
Will Murray (Vet pro): The one lap no crap format was all Will’s style on Day 1 as he picked up a huge 2nd. Will found his way into the main event on day 2 but got caught up in a crash in the first main and ended 7th overall for the day.
Courtney Applewhite (17-27 girls): Missed the UCI Elite Woman’s main on day 1 but found her way into her class main, scoring a 5th. Day 2 she acted as TM as the “Dog and Pony” show headed back to the Northeast after a long week of clinics in the Carolinas. Once again Courtney transferred on to the class main event on day 2.
Alex Frey (15 Cru, x): Picked up a big win on the big bike in his first go around in the 15 age bracket. He was a player in all four of his mains over the course of the weekend and looks to be improving early in the 09 season.
TJ Maniscalchi (10x): Our newest team addition competed in his last race as a ten year old and using tips from his teammates picked up a pair of deuces over the weekend. Look for big things out of TJ this season with his new ride.
Austin Loebe (16x): In yet another team age changer, Austin picked up a 3rd on day 1 in 16x in Oldsmar. Day 2 he improved on that by pulling in a 2nd place finish.
Rob McAllister (41-45 Cru): Mr. Consistent (Looks more like “Mr. Clean”) scored a pair of 3rds in the “old men who actually race, not just talk online like they know about racing” class.
Next up for the team is a trip to MoTown for an NBL National Team battle in a rodeo area.
