Lake Geneva, Wisconsin was the location for the 09/10 AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series final race. With strong results from the previous race, Team LaVallee was sitting well in the points battle, with Pro Rider, Levi LaVallee holding the 2nd place spot for the Pro Open Title.
“Lake Geneva is one of my favorite tracks on the race circuit, says LaVallee, the weather is usually always nice, the track is long and challenging and the crowd seems to get bigger and bigger each year.”
Race Results:
Pro Stock. Team LaVallee’s Pro Rider, Levi LaVallee, first round of qualifying started off well as he positioned himself towards the top of the pack, but with an unfortunately off, LaVallee ended in the 7th place spot. Round two, LaVallee road hard and finished 5th and moved his way into the final as the 13 qualifier, after getting 3rd in the LCQ. Coming from the back row in the Final, LaVallee started towards the back and after an unfortunate off in the Final, LaVallee finished the final Pro Stock race of the season in 13th position.
Pro Open. LaVallee was currently sitting in 2nd place for the Pro Open Points Championship and was hoping to keep that position. In his qualifying, LaVallee took 5th and 2nd place finishes, which brought him into the final as the 7th place qualifier. Off the start of the Pro Open Final, LaVallee had a great start and was sitting well in the pack, until halfway through the race LaVallee had technical difficulties, causing him to end his Pro Open Final in 12th place. However, LaVallee held on to his 2nd place in the Pro Open points, by one point. What an amazing accomplishment by LaVallee, while riding all season with a hurt foot and will be going into surgery within the next few weeks.
