9 Aug 2009 a sweet day for Omar. 1st race with the new 951 intense 1st for podium finish and 1st place in the Men's Master A cat. The track was dry and there was a lot of possibility to wash out of the track going thru the 20 burms along the track. 50% of this new track has been rebuild from the previous layout. We arrived at Putra Heights at around 10am, Friday. Me (Kamal), Zel, Zul, Omar, Sonic, Zaki & Yamm of KSH Cycles manage to had around 3 practise run. There was not much technical about the track but to go fast, made it more difficult.
On the race day, Sonic realized that he needed a better bike than the Santa Cruz Nomad that he brought. Due to that he had fully used the capability of the bike to the max and bottomed the front FOX36. Omar's new sweet ride works like an angel. Going thru the track was explosive and he said that there was no better bike than this new 951. Zel rode hard but still cant get near to the top 5 elite. As Wan, Zul, Eddie nand me was lost in the swarm of riders but still manage to wooss the local as we went thru the rock section with pure speed. All of this because we are all use to gnarly roks n roots going down Penang Hill. Anyway, for me to finish 18th in the 50 riders in my cat is still a great day for me. Oh ya, will never forgot bout my old state teammate, Ian Chin and Kavin Har. It has been such along time since we ride together. Congrats to the organiser on building such a sweet track. I recommend u guys to try it. There were around 20 burms, 2 drops and a couple of super fast pump sections. Wish i had brought my camera along to take pic of the track for you guys to see. Look for pics in our gallery and videos of it too. We would like to thank CCI Malaysia for the support given. ALL HAIL CCI!!
