JARED MEES REPORT

Savannah, GA – 4 March 2011

Since I started racing the Grand National circuit, this has been the first dirt track race of the new season for me. This is one of my favorite tracks, it makes for some really fast fun-racing. It is very easy to go fast here making it hard to pass. This year I decided to do the open practice the day before the race. I felt there were a couple of things on the Twin that needed to be tested really quick. Needless to say, things went really well at the practice day. I went out on the Twin twice and three times on the Single. Things were going very well. This type of track seems like most any set-up works ok. Chris Carr always mentioned that this was a “GET IT ON” track.

The next day we got up and got the bikes washed up because practice day made for some very dirty bikes. Brent Armbruster, my mechanic, and I got them looking good again and off we went to the track.

Practice went well on the 450 but I did not feel that dominant on the Twin yet. There were 5 Heats in both classes and they took only the top two finishers for the Main. I got a good start on the Harley but Robbie Pearson had the inside advantage on me. I was able to get around him and set sail. I won the Heat race but Matt Weidman was coming for me. I was having some trouble in turns three and four.

In the 450 Heat race I got the hole shot and ran away with it, feeling flawless on the bike. I did not want to change a thing.

In the Twins Main Event I got a really good jump and would have had the hole shot if I hadn’t gotten throttle-happy. Jake Johnson ended up getting the jump and as I was coming off turn two I missed a shift and Nichole Cheza got under me. She was riding really, really well all night on both bikes. I managed to get around her and was trying to run down Jake. It wasn’t happening as quickly as I’d have liked. I had to settle for 2nd but was pretty happy with that. This being almost like a National with all the talent competing, it was a good night.

In the 450 Main Event I got a good jump but Chase Sconyers was leading. He was riding it like he stole it. I finally got by him and then Sammy Halbert passed him also. Sammy and I then went back and forth. About four laps from the finish my tire was just gone and I had no more drive. It was a fun race but Sammy out-smarted me on the tire choice.

Well, that was the first race of the year and to get a pair of 2nds wasn’t too bad.

We are supposed to race Volusia on Sunday. The weather forecast isn’t too promising but we will see. I’ll have that report out later Monday or Tuesday!!

Thanks for your support. Jammin’ Jared Mees # 9.
