Courtney Duncan wins twice at Oakhill
Saturday 16 March: Courtney wins her first USA National Championship for 2013 at Oakhill this afternoon.
Courtney Duncan and Jeremy McKnight with the trophy and the Rock River YZ125 -
with two wins from two starts.
Co-incidence? I was just reading Transmoto's Throwdown Thursday #131 and saw this paragraph:
"Kiwi Courtney Duncan is currently in the States getting ready to qualify
for Loretta Lynns – she's too fast for the Junior boys in NZ. There was
a report that she had broken her wrist while training, but that's not
the case at all. Turns out, the pain is actually tendonitis from too
much throttle twisting, as she rides for hours everyday."
I then checked the Backflips website and this literally popped up. Well done Courtney.
Kawasaki Team Green Racing had this to say about Oakhill;
"The riders had to deal with not only the challenging track conditions,
but gusting wind and the Texas sun on Thursday. (Fri our time) with 80-degree
temperatures and 30-mile per hour gusting winds, the track conditions
became progressively more challenging as the day went on. The loamy Oak
Hill terra firma quickly transformed into hard-packed, dusty conditions
that were less than ideal."
