TiLUBE Racing started the SX racing season

TiLUBE Racing started the SX racing season strong with both Matt Boni #50 and new team member, Manuel Rivas #921 in the second heat race of the night. As everyone got sorted out in the first few hectic laps, Boni secured an 8th place qualifying position while Rivas was on the bubble. At the end of the heat Boni transferred to the main and Rivas was forced to go to a very stacked Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ).
In the LCQ Rivas did not get the start he needed to be up front early on. He eventually finished outside of the top two and did not make the main event. Although Rivas had a very short amount of time on the bike (due to the fact he was a last minute replacement rider for the injured Matt Goerke), he reported that he was very comfortable and felt he had everything he needed to do well this season.

In the main event Boni started mid-pack and fought his way past a couple riders before a racing incident forced him off the track for a split second. This gave a few riders an opportunity to get around him but the battle continued. It was a fight to the end for Boni and he finished an eventual 18th.

"Going into the opening round you have to set realistic goals. We met some of those goals and have some additional things to work on. Overall I am very happy with our performance this week," says the TiLUBE Racing team manager Tony Wenck.

The TiLUBE Racing team's next event is Saturday, January 15th, at Chase Field in Phoenix, AZ.
