Morphine Industries Christmas Classic Race Report
The Morphine Industries’ crew hit Louisville to end year playin in the dirt and still believing in the fat man in red.
The weekend started with the President’s Cup on Saturday and our 10X – Richie Dey giving an aerial display by hittin’ the Pro set in practice. He backed up the skills with a 1st place finish in both class and cruiser to double up in Cups and helping Florida once again take home the top spot.
The Christmas Classic hit the track the following two days with the rest of the Morphine riders getting in on the fun.
Master – Tim Dinger adding a little style to the track as usual. On Day 1, He took a lane 7 start in the main with getting pimped in turn one, and turned it into a place on the Podium – 3rd place. Day 2, started the same with top finishes in motos and returning to the gate in the main. Making a move for the top spot in turn two, he went low for the pass and got tangled up with a rider. Can’t win them all, that’s race. Tim settled for a 7th.
Super-Exers – Gavin Lubbe / Jason Larev had a great weekend of racing rollin through motos, but a series of mishaps and bad lanes keep them both out of the main.
17/18x – Talbott Cross coming back from a broken wrist, banged bars in one of the toughest classes in BMX to come up short of the main both days.
15X – Damian Cherepko put on a clinic and routed the field with a perfect on both days taking the top podium spot with track to spare. The kid is for real.
10X – Richie Dey coming off a President Cup double-header, raced at the front of the class both days. Day 1, due to a few mishaps, he finished in the fourth spot. Returning for Day 2, Richie stepped it up and took the deuce in the main to finish the weekend.
It looks like next stop for the Morphine Circus will be Lexington, VA and the Florida State Series race in Jacksonville, FL in Mid January. We won’t disappoint.
