450 QUALIFYING RESULTS // 2024 THUNDER VALLEY NATIONAL

The 2024 Thunder Valley National is already here and we’re all set to go for Round three of the Pro Motocross series. Compared to the rest of the Outdoor Nationals, the Thunder Valley track in Lakewood, Colorado, is best known for its high elevation. The air is thinner, making it harder for the riders to catch their breath and harder for the bikes to make full power. Both the 250 class and 450 class can feel the drop in horsepower when launching off the start and sending it up the big Thunder Valley jumps. Additionally, Lakewood is known for deep ruts and off-camber turns. The track is nestled on the side of a mountain, and it makes for conditions that keep the best in the world on their toes.

450 OVERALL QUALIFYING RESULTS

Jason Anderson had the second of the fastest time of the second session, but the first qualifying session had the quicker times of the day.

The Thunder Valley track is not so rough this year. The Pro Motocross series hasn’t been watering the tracks as much and they haven’t been ripping the tracks as deep either. Last year, Thunder Valley was like a slot car track with never-ending ruts spanning across the track. This year, the track is much smoother with a harder base. The track is also smoother than usual for the 450 class because they are first on the schedule today. Because the NBC channel is streaming Thunder Valley live on TV today, MX Sports wanted the 450 class to be shown first.

Jason Anderson had the quickest time of the class for most of the second session, but on the last lap Hunter Lawrence was able to sneak to the top of the board in session two with a 2:13. Still, Jett Lawrence’s 2:10 from the first session held the top stop for the day.
