Jared Graves goes wintertraining off-season
Moderator:Beheerders
PICTURE THIS!
South Queensland / Australia.:
There were some last minute reshuffles in the starting eight. The famous eight took the gate as; Bubba Harris, Wade Bootes, Todd Pascoe, Jamie Gray, Steve Janssen, Joel Clark, Jared Graves, Michael Robinson, and the stage was set for the race of the century Down Under Style. You could not cut the air of excitement and expectation with a chainsaw. This was a STANDING ROOM ONLY eventÂ…. If you were luckyÂ…!!!... & $ 1000.00 was up for grabs on the big race,...just for fun....!!!!
The crowd was going nuts, as they elbowed and jostled for a trackside position to see the race. The Gladiators were called one by one for the obligatory Roll Down, and all were cheered as if this race was a World Final. We had to actually pause the start… to get the noise down to a startable level. “…Bubba..go Bubba…go Jamie… you can do it Stiffy… Boootttess… go Jared… c’mon Todd… you can to it Robo…” it was crazzzzy….!! The only thing that was left out was “the Mexican wave” (cricket style), and the crowd control officers.
When silence was restored…, eventually, the big guns hit the gate. We could have turned the Nerang lights off, with the amount of camera flashes going off. Triple officials in every sector…. The race Ref does a head set final check to all…. And then the famous words over the PA system….” They are in your hands.. Mr Starter…”..
The CallÂ…
"OK ridersÂ….
Lets setÂ’m upÂ….
" ..BANGÂ….gate smacks downÂ… canÂ’t hear as the crowd goes wildÂ…
Graves gets the hole shot from inside lane 1, with Gray… Harris first into the first corner… with a 2 bike lead over.. Janssen..Bootes… Clark & Robo seemed shut out at this stage ( 9M between 1st & last)… through the short 2nd straight… heading into the Pro Section… Janssen pulls off a massive third jump to overtake Gray for 3rd… with Bootes in close… after Pro section.. heading into 3rd last straight, it’s Graves out front with Bubba applying major pressure on his back wheel…, back 4M.. it’s Gray, Bootes, & Janssen…. Set for a drag race for third. At this stage… it’s a drag race for first – Graves & Harris…,(crowd is defining at this point)…
Heading into the last berm… Graves in Front…. But .. Bubba seemed to be setting him up on a low line…(as Graves goes high – Bubba goes low and within 2 peddles picks up on Graves) ready to kill on the last straight… with Janssen, Gray, & Bootes ready to drag race to the finish for third place … Graves and Bubba go for it out of the last turn..., head to head in a drag race down the last straight with almost nothing in it all the way.. Harris looked like his awesome finishing power would see him through… but graves bursts on by half a bike… in the final 10 meters.
