Millican at Ballance

Millican Keeps on Rolling

Oakland, KY - April 5, 2011 - Dalton Millican raced this past weekend at the famous Balance Moto X track in Oakland KY. Again Millican continues his early season streak of pulling hole shots and podium finishes.

Millican came out swinging Saturday in the first moto of the 450A class. Millican made the first turn in the 4th spot and battled his way to the front with a great last lap pass to take the win in moto 1.

In moto 1 of the Production A class Millican found himself in a tight pack of riders with plenty of bumping and banging going on Millican finished in the 3rd position.

Moto 2 of the 450A class created a little controversy and surprised the riders. With riders and bikes at the starting gate an official told the riders they were extending the race by one lap. With that very important bit of information, Millican knew what he had to do and he almost pulled it off.

When the gate fell Millican was gone and pulling away. Millican lead after what should have been the last lap but with the surprise announcement of adding an extra lap, what Millican feared happened, his bike began to sputter from running out of fuel. Millican came across the finish line in a very disappointing second place. This gave Millican second place overall in the 450A class.

“I could not have been more surprised to learn we were going to run an extra lap. Fuel is the easiest way to make your bike lighter and we simply did not have enough in it for the extra lap. This cost us and our whole team was disappointed we were not told of changes to the race format until it was time to race” Millican said.

Production A moto 2 did not have any controversy for Millican but it did produce a very exciting race. Millican ended the moto with a third place finish. This gave Millican another second place overall for the weekend.
