THOR’s Chad Reed charges in San Diego
Thor MX (February 11, 2008)
Wearing a one-off San Diego Chargers inspired Thor helmet, THORs Chad Reed charged it for a win in San Diego.
Thor's Chad Reed and Travis Pastrana
In the main event, Reed hunted down holeshot winner Davi Millsaps to grab the lead in lap 2. Reed stayed one step ahead of Millsaps for most of the race until lap 12 where Reed stumbled in the sand section and gave up the lead. Reed was determined to get back in front and worked his way up, passing Millsaps and taking his 5th win of the season. Reed leads the season point standings by 35.
In the Lites class, THORs Brett Metcalfe had a rough start to the night he had to come through the LCQ to make the main event. Then in the main, Metcalfe had to work his way up from outside the top 10 to take 4th place. Metcalfe sits in 3rd in the season point standings, with his teammate Thors Austin Stroupe sitting in 5th overall.
And if the night wasnt exciting already, THORs Travis Pastrana made quite a stir among race fans when he decided to race Parts Unlimiteds mini bike race early in the night. Pastrana rode a close race finishing in 2nd after having a run-in with another rider.
Yet the fans couldnt get enough, so he took a Champions lap around the track with the 2008 AMA Supercross Leader Chad Reed. It wouldnt be TP without a couple surprises - he finished the Champions lap with the first ever backflip over the Monster Energy finish line!
It was great to see all you race fans out in Thors hometown of San Diego.Dont forget to stop by the Thor booth in Atlanta and Dallas for your chance to win a free set of Thor gear.
See you at the races!
