This weekend’s event had a lower attendance
than normal with only 185 entries. The lowered
attendance was particularly apparent in the Pro
Lites class where only nine riders signed up to
race, but the competition was still pretty intense.

Harold Goodman was back on his game in the
Pro Lites race as he secured 3rd win of
the season |
Harold Goodman grabbed the holeshot and was followed
closely by Brandon Hill and Zac Willett. Michael
Coburn was off to a slow start. “I had worked
my self up to about 4th and then I ended up spinning
out,” said Coburn. Luckily, Coburn was able
to get back on track rather quickly and get past
Kirby Cooke and Kendall Webb to take over 5th
place.
Harold Goodman, who ran unchallenged for the
entire race, was first to cross the finish line.
Brandon Hill claimed second and Zac Willett rode
a strong race to claim the final spot on the podium.
Kelsey Stamm, who took 8th in the heat race, stepped
it up to take 4th place and Michael Coburn rounded
out the top five in the Pro Lites class.

Brad Riley pulled another win out of his
hat with a last minute pass on Kendall Webb
to extends his Pro-Am points lead |
The Pro-Am Unlimited class was one of the most
exciting races of the evening. Brad Riley came
off the line in 1st, with Kendall Webb on his
grab bar, but Riley ran into a bit of trouble
in the first turn, which allowed Webb to get past
him. Riley stayed with Webb for the entire race,
pressuring him and waiting for an opportunity
to go for the pass. The battle had spectators
at the edge of their seats wondering if Webb would
be able to hold off Riley to take the win.
It started to look like Riley would have to settle
for second place, but in the last turn of the
last lap, Webb went wide in the corner and Riley
was able to slide in under him to take the win
and secure his points lead for the Pro-Am class.
“I was right behind Kendall the whole time
and I when he went wide, I just dove in under
him,” said Riley. “This has turned
out to be a really good weekend for me!”
Brad said excitedly.
