Race Report: Mini MX Nationals Wellington 7 October 2012
Sam gained a hard earned 5th place but in the 6-8 Years 50cc MX class. Due to a lack of clarity of the actual procedures to follow, Sam missed his pick of the gate and was forced to start way outside the best lines in race 1 and had no chance of a good start. It cost him significantly. However his results were consistent, including two 4th places. He was a little disappointed not to be on the podium but was happy to have beaten all his usual competition. Three of the riders ahead of him were from the South island and the 4th was ridng on his own home track.
