It's a funny matter when passion trumps logic. Those rare moments that quiet the naysayers too odds-makers, when a matter happens non because it is likely, only due to the sheer strength of volition too tenacity of the parties involved.
One of those moments happened this by weekend at Round #3 of the Virginia Championship Hare Scrambles Series inwards Martinsville, VA, when Will Nauta, of Gretna, VA won his get-go 30+ C aeroplane race.
Why is that rare y'all ask? People win races all the time, no big deal. Well it is form of a big deal, because Will, entirely inwards his 2nd flavour of hare scrambles racing, was riding a Kawasaki KDX200, a blueprint too thus long inwards the molar that fifty-fifty the manufacturer dropped it from their lineup over a decade ago. A blueprint amongst engine technology scientific discipline that was cutting border agency dorsum inwards the early on 1980s too recess tech from fifty-fifty earlier. A blueprint that many racers await upon equally quaint too outdated, a playbike, the form of matter that could never win races inwards this modern 24-hour interval too age.
Only on Sunday, May 7, 2017, Will too his good fettled, self-tuned, only rock axe tech machine were a strength to move reckoned with, taking the win afterwards a final lap transcend on the leader too winning the race amongst twenty seconds inwards hand, a small-scale speck of good seasoned Green inwards a ocean of Austrian Orange.
Congratulations to Will on his gritty win inwards the muds of Blue Ridge too for showing us all y'all don't demand a $10k dirt-bike too a $50K toy-hauler to boot a fiddling donkey too accept an obscene amount of fun....
Respect.
