Shorty Overcomes Adversity in the Lone Star State!

The Lucas Oil Motocross Championship made its way to the Lone Star State for the second round, with riders anticipating brutal temperatures and an unyielding track. Texas resident and Coach Seiji personal training client Andrew Short was looking forward to racing in his home state
but had to deal with some first moto adversity.

The Red Bull/KTM Factory Racing rider gated well in Moto 1 but crashed hard in the first quarter of the opening lap. Short took a while to
remount then put on an impressive charge from dead last in the ever present Texas heat to end the moto in a respectable 15th place.

Shorty didn’t gate as well in the second moto, rounding the first turn mid-pack, rounding the first lap in 21st.  He immediately made several passes within the first few laps to work his way into the top 10. As the moto progressed and others began to falter in the tough conditions, Short would pilot his 350 past several top tier riders to end the second moto in 6th,

The combines scores of 15-6 gave Short a 9th overall for the day. Short’s incredible work ethic, determination and fitness turned what could have been a bad day into a respectable reuslt.
