If Guinness ever starts compiling motocross record data, they’re going to have to build an office in Ludlow, MA. With John’s unbelievably impressive 7th overall in the 450 motocross class, John became once again the oldest racer to ever finish top 10 in an AMA motocross national. What makes John’s performance so impressive isn’t finishing 7th at 41 years old, but rather the manner in which it was achieved. In the first moto John collided with Antonio Balbi Jr and was sent sand sampling. John got up in 34th place and ended up charging back to 10th! In the second moto, another crash saw John mid-pack, only to claw his way up to 9th. Everyone in the crowd could see John running down Mike Alessi when he ran out of time. We firmly believe that John would have finished 4th or 5th overall without the crashes. Not to mention, he was charging harder 30 minutes into the moto than guys less than half his age.  All this after only racing 6 lap local races all season. INCREDIBLE!
