Kurt Caselli Places First At Moose Run National H&H

Despite losing the
first round of the AMA Racing/Kenda National Hare & Hound
Championship Series due to technical problems, Kurt Caselli managed
to win at the Moose Run race, hosted by the Four Aces Motorcycle
Club.
"I definitely didn't get a good jump off the line," Caselli told
Cycle News. "I've been trying some different stuff. With the
dead-engine start procedure, it's kind of hit or miss. We don't
have a kickstarter with the SX-F; it's basically just electric
start. It's more me than the bike. I get a little excited and give
it too much gas and flood it out."
Caselli won the race by approximately seven minutes, beating out
Kendall Norman and David Pearson. Unfortunately for Norman, he
found the Ridgecrest whoops to be trouble, but was able to recover
and finished in fourth.
Pearson, on the other hand, had previously hurt his shoulder and
ribs during a game of racquetball, which slowed him down. However,
he managed to place second. Destry Abbot came in third, a spot
lower than he placed in the first round, due to a poor start.
