KTM's
Josh Kirkland Wins Again & with Brian
Wolf's DNF, Kirkland now leads the XC2
Points race by 17 points over Brian Wolf |
The XC2 Pro-Am Title picture change dramatically
when FRE KTM's Josh Kirkland took his second-straight
win, and GT Thunder Yamaha's Brian Wolf did
not finish due to mechanical issues. "It
feels great," said Kirkland. "I had
a pretty bad start, I worked my way up to fourth,
and everyone was riding great up there. I'm
glad to have pulled it off."
XC2 rookie Parker Jones took the $100 Rekluse
Holeshot Award for the second-straight race,
and finished second. Third went to Yamaha rider
Kevin Yoho.
Walker Fowler was also in the hunt for a XC2
podium finish before a kicker sent him tumbling,
but fortunately, he wasn't seriously injured.
After getting checked out at the hospital nothing
was found to be broken, so he should be back
in action once again in XC2 at the Ironman.

Glenn
Pritchard may have already wrapped up
the Super Senior Championship, but that
hasn't slowed him down as he claims 1st
Overall for the second time this year
at Powerline Park |
Super Senior (50+) racer Glenn Pritchard turned
back the clock again by winning the GT Thunder
Morning Race Overall on his Suzuki, topping
Women's Class riders Angel Atwell and Kristen
Atwell. Angel Atwell, on a FRE KTM, wrapped
up the Women's Championship one week ago, but
still fought hard and led the overall most of
the way before Pritchard turned it up and won.
Multi-time Women's Champ Traci Cecco got caught
on a vine on lap one and run over by a 4x4 machine,
but recovered from way back to take third in
the Women's class.
Can-Am rider Zach Zakowski took the win in
the Open 4x4 class, and Can-Am riders Cliff
Beasley and Michael Swift took the 4x4 Lites
and Limited classes, respectively. Sam Williams
took the U2 class on a Kawasaki.
