season has been a slow, steady progression for Mushin Racing's Pro MX'er
Cody Gibson. Like climbing a ladder, one rung at a time, Gibson has
continued his quest to to keep Mushin Racing on the Pro presence radar,
especially after recovering from an early season injury and nursing his ride
back to his potential form.
Out of the gate, reminiscent of his '09 form when he won both national
titles in the Pro/Am classes, Gibson charged off the line at Round 8 of the
2010 Motocross Nationals in Armagh, PA at Pleasure Valley MX on the 4th of
July. In both motos he headed around the holeshot in the top three, a prime
example of what's to come as the series progresses and Gibson regains his
health and confidence.
When both Pro motos were in the Round 8 score books, Gibson, after
experiencing strong starts but fading as the twenty minutes plus two lap
races progressed, managed to bring down his second consecutive top ten
overall finish in as many rounds.
Mushin Racing's Thomas Brown continues to highlight the team's commitment to
consistency. Brown, with two podiums on the season in the Pro class at the
2010 AMA-ATV Motocross Championship series, has found that on any given
occasion all his race factors will come together and he can, and will, be a
podium factor in each moto of each event. At Pleasure Valley Brown pulled
down 8-7 moto scores to finish 7th overall for the event. After 8 of the 11
round season, he holds onto the 6th place position in the overall points
standings, just twenty or so points out of the top five.
