FlowVision Check-In – Day 7: One Last Gate, One Last Charge
Share
Saturday at Loretta’s carries a different kind of energy.
The crowds thin out. The banners start coming down. Gear bags get zipped, RVs get packed, and everyone’s running on fumes—mentally, emotionally, physically. But for those still left to race, the day is sacred.
It’s the end. The final chance.
For us, it all came down to one last moto—Landon’s third and final 65cc (10–11) Mod race, scheduled for 12:30 PM. It was the second-to-last moto of the entire week, and every lap left to ride was going to count.
12:30 PM – Mod Moto 3: Dig Deep
By the time staging rolled around, the heat was back in full force and the track looked like it had been through war. Deep ruts. Square edges. Sand blown out in every corner. The kind of surface that breaks riders more than bikes.
The gate dropped, and things didn’t start clean.
Landon came through the opening section in around 30th—buried deep in the chaos.
But then he got to work.
Lap after lap, he chipped away. Picking off one rider at a time. No panic. No mistakes. Just forward momentum. He rode smart. He rode tough. He rode like a kid who’s learned a lot this week—about himself, and about how to finish strong.
By the final lap, he was deep into the top 15—and pushing.
He crossed the finish line in 11th, just 0.5 seconds short of breaking into the top 10.
We couldn’t have asked for a better final moto.
Not because of the result—but because of the effort.
That was Landon riding with everything he had left.
From Loretta’s to the Long Road Home
That final race summed up the entire week—gritty, challenging, and full of heart.
Three Mod motos. Three Limited motos. A lightning delay. A rescheduled flight. A 7:30 AM gate drop. One heartbreaking sand corner. A string of top-15 rides. And a closing charge that showed just how much growth came out of this experience.
Now, with the last checkered flag behind us, we’re packing it all up—muddy gear, tired bodies, and a week’s worth of memories—and starting our 34-hour drive home.
It’s not glamorous. It’s not fast. But it’s where we reflect. Where we talk through what worked, what didn’t, and what we’re chasing next.
Thank You
To everyone who followed along this week—friends, family, fans, sponsors—thank you. For the comments, the messages, the cheers from the fence line. You kept us going more than you know.
And to FlowVision—thank you for being in our corner. For supporting the kids who grind, the families who hustle, and the racers who pour their hearts into this wild sport.
We’re leaving Tennessee proud. Grateful. And more motivated than ever.
We’ll see you at the next one.
