With the Winter X Games a near memory, Team LaVallee was on the road again and gearing up for the Eastern Swing of the AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series and the next stop was at the Finger Lakes Racetrack in Farmington, NY.
“I was really looking forward to this next race, mostly because I knew that with X Games being over with, I could put all of my concentration back into racing.” stated LaVallee.
Team LaVallee’s Crew; Glenn Kafka, Terry Gilomen, and Jeff Leffel had the sleds ripping awesome hole shots all weekend. LaVallee and Kafka put together some great rides in both qualifying rounds and finals.
Race Results: Pro Stock. Team LaVallee’s Pro Rider, Levi LaVallee, had a tough round of qualifying and he just missed the top 10 spot, by qualifying 11th for the final, Levi entered in the LCQ, winning that and giving him great momentum for the Final.
