After weeks worth of cancellations and poor track conditions, local motocross rider Zach Hudy finally got a solid weekend of racing in at the Moose Jaw CMRC event on the June 16-17 weekend. With a hot and sunny Saturday giving a rare glimpse of favorable track conditions in what has been an unlucky season weather wise, Hudy took advantage with two second and two third place overall finishes in the doubleheader Saturday-Sunday event.
On Saturday Hudy started the weekend off strong with a second place finish in intermediate MX2 and a third place overall finish in the GP Pro-Am event, giving him two podium finishes.
Despite a few crashes, including a spill from local rider Levi Litvanyi that took him out of the weekend, it was a good day of racing for all riders.
Sunday saw a return to the rainy conditions and once again saw more race cancellations as only the first half of races could be completed. Hudy managed to persevere through the muddy conditions to take a third place finish in intermediate MX2 and a second overall finish in GP Pro-AM to cap off a very impressive weekend at the track.
Hudy credited his experience at the Moose Jaw track to his success saying, "I always enjoy racing in Moose Jaw, that's where it all started for me when I was younger."
He also mentioned that as it has been wet and muddy almost every weekend so far this season that he has became comfortable with the poor, sloppy track conditions and it should no longer be an excuse for poor results. Hudy also had the advantage of having a bigger bike for the muddy conditions, giving him more traction and dig than riders with smaller bikes during the Sunday motos.
Hudy says that despite crashing twice in his first MX2 moto he came back to earn third place. He thanks his mom and dad for helping him get out to every race weekend as well as Potzus LTD and Schrader's for helping him out with sponsorship this season.
