Justin Cooper's bike was pitted next to the Star Yamaha team under an EZ-Up tent.

Justin and his family arrived to the Star Racing tent before the riders conference got underway. Justin had a anxious look on his face as he involved to begin his pro career.

In the 1st timed practice session Justin turned the 2: 10. 832 on his fourth lap which gave him the particular 9th fastest time in the 1st circular of practice.

Justin said that his main goal at Unadilla was to go out and also have fun. Well he went out within the 1st practice and turned a qualifying lap every lap instead of pacing in between laps.

Justin had a lot of nicely wishers giving him support all day long at his pits and on the track. Justin has raced often at Unadilla on the amateur monitor, but has never been on the pro monitor until now.

Justin was taking it all in before the 2nd timed practice. Justin admitted being a little nervous before practice but felt at ease after qualifying in the top ten in the 1st exercise.

Justin practiced his starts in the start session before the 2nd time practice got underway.

Mr. bieber got to finally jump the atmosphere shot at Unadilla. The inexperienced track is just behind the skies shot jump and Justin has had many laps on the amateur monitor, but today he graduated to the pros.

Mr. bieber and his mechanic Drew Hopkins prepare for Justin’s first-ever pro race. Justin’s nerves were evident before the door dropped.

Drew gives Justin a last minute pep talk before the mechanics have to keep the area.

Justin got out of the gate well plus was with the pack going into the first turn, but the pack pushed outside in the first turn and pinched Justin back to a 13th location out of the 1st turn.

Justin was able to make a couple of passes as the race went on when he jockeyed around the 12-13th position. Justin was okay with his 12th-place finish as he said he was having fun out there.

Justin got a great start in the 2nd moto as he races towards the first turn, trying to avoid getting roosted by the mud from the other riders.

Justin was able to prevent the mud as he got the inside collection through the 1st turn but JMART got the holeshot. Justin stated his goal was to get a good start so he wouldn't become covered in mud.

Justin applies to it through the water hazard within the lower turn before the mechanics tent.

Justin has been still able to do most of the leaps in the muddy conditions in Moto 2 . Luckily, Justin didn’t require the blue rags tucked on each side of his waistline if he had fallen.

Justin said the track was very one lined within Moto 2 . He was matching Jeremy Martin's lap times and at one point was catching your pet, but Justin said his spirit got to him while catching Jeremy but did not think he would be able to pass outside the main line.

Justin Cooper went 12-2 for 5th overall on his pro debut at Unadilla. Will Hahn congrats Justin after he crossed the finish line and was pumped for his rookie rider.

Mr. bieber gives the thumbs up on his pro first appearance at Unadilla. He still experienced clear vision after the 20 minute plus 1 lap of the 2nd Moto.
