Accel Racing/Powers Bike Shop was in the house for the Thanksgiving Nat’l in Morristown Tn. The team looked really good with a overall finish of 1st. on Sat. with Andrew Townsend, Art Luck and Kady Brink winning their mains. Andrew and Kady had perfects all day and Art was going for his perfect when Mr. Dean Mccall snatched one of the moto wins. Art pulled it back in during the mains though and gave us the edge to move into first. Newcomer Enzo Perez was on fire perfecting all his motos but got squeezed in the main and ended with a respectful 4th. Doug Widdows was hard to catch after perfecting his motos,battled hard all day in one of the toughest classes and pulled in a 3rd for the team.Kris Creech was game on in motos ,firsts across the board pulling a 2nd finish in his main. Sunday arrived and it was time to duplicate the day prior to, unfortunately after the impressive day Accel had Sat. it obviously gave much thought to the other competitors to go back to their hotels and dial some things in. They did just that…….not a win on paper for the team but a win for effort.Alex Seidnitzer made his first main as a 10 x very impressive first moto,out of the gate like a rocket. Congrats Alex you are on your way. Zach Gownley was looking alot stronger on Sun. and had a pretty nasty crash but within seconds this little one was up and rollin’ again. Not to forget J-Dub Ketron who rocked two bikes all weekend and did us proud and made main in 7 nov and cruiser class. Andrew Townsend pulled in another much needed perfect along with Art Luck. We missed Dan Birmingham on Sun. as he and dad headed home Sat. after a nasty crash in the first straight that left him with a broken collarbone…..speedy recovery Dan. We need ya in Ky. Last I saw we ended up somewhere between 6th or 8th (some ties going on)on Sun. It was a great weekend overall alot of Standard bikes rolling with the ACCEL/Powers team with many more to come. Thanks Rick! I would also like to thank Gus at Profile for hooking up the team we look forward to a great year with you.Last but definately not least Chad, for always looking out for our family of riders. You are such a huge asset to this team, I am certain I could not do this without you. Here’s to many more years ahead of us and thank you for allowing me to continue my husbands dream. I am very proud of every rider who attended, progress is clear and determination is key.Out of the 20 riders who were there more than half made main.
