FORMULA HITS THE JACKPOT IN VEGAS

“Boulder City, Nevada For the first time this year, the entire Formula Factory team attended a national together and the results were spectacular, to say the least. dR Donny Robinson, Amanda Geving, Mike Lundy, Warren McDow, and Chad Kerley headed out to the NBLs Boulder Dam National to roll the dice with the rest of the national scene heavies and try their luck at the NBLs first west coast national.”"Donny Robinson has been consistently on the podium for the past 6 months or so but the wins have eluded him on the 20 bike. Not the case in Boulder. dR was on fire winning moto after moto on Saturday. Seemed like it was status quo for dR with a hard fought second in the NBLs Elite Mens class aboard his Formula Solution Pro. But when the UCI main came around, dR got out front and lead it from start to finish for his first win this season. Ive been trying to maintain a positive attitude and keep things fun, stated Robinson. Looks like its working as Sunday was no different. Donny was out front of nearly every moto. Come main time in Elite Mens, dR got the holeshot and lead once again start to finish, for his first pro double ever. On top of that, dR grabbed the Sun Ringle Holeshot Award and pocketed another $500. When asked how the double felt, Robinson said It feels like where Im supposed to be. When the points are tallied up, dR will take over the lead in the UCI points standings and extend his lead in the NBL Elite Mens standings. Amanda Geving came into Boulder leading both the NBL Elite Womens and the UCI Jr. Womens points standings. Geving dominated the Jr. Womens class at the Christmas Classic in December and Boulder was no exception. Amanda came away with another win and added onto her UCI points lead. In NBL Elite Womens racing, Amanda grabbed a grabbed a 7th on Saturday and a 5th on Sunday. Well have to see where she ends up points wise when they are announced. Im stoked on the Jr. Womens win, not so stoked on the Elite Womens finishes, stated Geving. Its a long season and its a hard class, so just making the main is a feat. Ill be ready at the next one. Warren McDow also came into Boulder leading UCI points in the Jr. Mens division. McDow has been on fire lately with his trademark first straight pull. Warren feels at home in the NBL and it showed in Boulder. In UCI Jr. Mens action, McDow was out front all day long on his Formula Solution Pro XL. In the main, he tangled with Euro rider Martijn Scherpen out of the gate letting Joey Bradford get out front. McDow settled for third. He made up for it in 17 Expert. After dominating motos all day long, Warren made a controversial pass on Kris Fox and took the win. His [Fox] team manager thought it was dirty, but everyone else told me it looked clean. Ill take the win, quipped McDow. The win should put McDow on top of the NBLs 17 Expert points standings. Chad Kerley doesnt race much NBL, but with the results from this weekend, he should. Kerley battled with Arizonas Wesley Gunn in both mains where Gunn would get out to an early lead. But anyone who knows how Chad rides knows that the lead rider is never safe with Chad and his incredible track skills behind them. Saturday, Chad reeled Gunn in and set up to pass in the last turn when Gunn went down letting Kerley take the easy win on his Formula Solution Expert XL. There was some speculation that Chad got lucky in the moto and, just to set the record straight, Kerley did the same thing in Sundays main and made the pass stick over an upright Gunn. Dont ever count me out, stated Kerley enjoying yet another double, this time in the NBL. Mike Lundy hasnt been racing much lately but decided to give the Boulder national a go since its basically right in his back yard. Lundy missed out on Saturdays racing with an sign up mix up so he went and ruled the skatepark. Sunday, Mike dusted off the rust and looked good in motos and qualifiers aboard his Formula Solution Cromo Pro XL. Come main time, Lundy had a bad gate and the Boulder track is hard to make passes on. Lundy had to settle for 6th for the day. But, the NBL Grand National champ will be back. Im over it, stated Lundy. Im on to the next race. Formulas line up of Solution Series USA built frames in Cromo and Aluminum are AVAILABLE NOW, factory direct.
