BUBBA PAULI
Bubba Pauli’s day in Houston on Tuesday started out a bit unusual. With some crazy lines and wild rides, Bubba was able to put it all together when the pressure was on and lined up for his 450 Heat in confidence. Bubba did his best when the gate dropped but a poor start would be the main cause to be forced on to the Last chance qualifier. When the LCQ began, he launched off the gate with his fellow teammate, Joan Cros, and would slip into a position inside the top ten. He would battle his way to 8th but unfortunately time ran out. Overall a great night for the 282 machine.
CADE CLASON
Cade Clason started off his night with the lingering confidence of the race three days prior. Cade knew he had the speed to achieve his goals and was ready to execute. He hit the track on Tuesday afternoon and found his flow quickly. He qualified just outside the top 20 and was ready to get under the lights. When the gate fell for his heat, Cade was determined to battle his way into qualifying position. He worked his way all the way up to 11th but unfortunately would run out of time to move up the two more spots needed to get into the Main Event. Unfortunately a technical issue would keep him from qualifying for the Main Event but look for Cade to shine this Saturday.
