Sooner Nationals Race report

IM BMX Sooner National Results
It was great weekend for the IM BMX race team at the Sooner Nationals in Guthrie, OK. The racing over the weekend was very good. The pre-race results started off great. All IM BMX racers made their mains on Friday night and looked very good, but we knew Saturday would be a bigger challenge for the racers. Saturday’s Moto count approached 200 motos. Our first racer out of the gate in open was Braydon Cromwell on Saturday with our last being “Superman” Lujan last in 15 expert class. IM BMX racers who made the Main event when the dust settled were “Battlin” Braydon Cromwell 6I, Joshua “The Real Deal” Seal 7I, Milan Pollock and “Crazy” Chris Driver both in 9I, David “Superman” Lujan in 15X and Mike Cromwell in 31-35N. The girls were flying as well. Maggie Clemenson 7G, Chyenne Hill 12G, Shannon “the Cannon” Bowles in both 12G and 11-13G cruiser, and Anna Appleby 46 & over G and G cruiser class. Mike Cromwell and Anna Appleby were our only podium finishes on Saturday with Mike with a First and Anna with the 2 spot in both her classes. IM BMX was able to score 6th out of 18 on the trophy team sheet. Sunday we made some adjustments and talked to the racers about their races. We had much better results in all areas. As the main event finishers were about the same. But the podium finishes were much improved. Joshua Seal 8th in the main on Saturday to 3rd place finish on Sunday, Chris Driver 4th on Saturday to 2nd on Sunday missing the win by half a wheel, Anna Appleby 2nd on Saturday to win on Sunday. The team sheet was also much better as we finished 2nd on the podium. This was a great weekend of racing for IM BMX and being our first 2010 national. We are looking to have a very successful season racing. We would like to thank GHP, Crupi, Risen, for all your support
