JET Suspension Honda's Donnie Ockerman and
GT Thunder rider Kevin Yoho were seventh and
eighth, with Yamaha riders Johnny Gallagher
and Jeffrey Pickens rounding out the top 10.
Despite getting off to a bad start, Walker
Fowler made it eight wins in eight tries in
the XC2 division, as the Ballance Racing Yamaha
rider turned in an impressive ride through the
pack to take a well deserved victory.
"I probably went into the woods in 10th
and then just picked them off one at a time,"
said Fowler. "At about the nine-mile marker
I passed Pat McGuire to take the lead and then
I rode a pretty clean lap and started catching
the back half of the Pro class, but about that
time I clipped a stump and it pitched me off
the bike. After that I just kind of chilled.
It wasn't the overall finish I was looking for,
but a class win is always good and we're going
into the summer break undefeated."
After grabbing the $100 Motosport.com Holeshot
Award to start the race, Derisi Racing Honda
rider Eric Hoyland rode a steady race to grab
the runners-up position.
"I got a good start but I picked some
bad lines and got passed by a couple of guys,"
said Hoyland. "But it was an awesome race
out there and it was fun racing with Mike Lancaster."
After battling with Hoyland, Lancaster made
his first-ever podium finish with a third.
"It was a tough race, but I like that
motocross track and I'm happy to finish third,"
said Lancaster.
Greg's ATV & Cycle Yamaha rider Gabe Phillips
just missed out on a podium finish, crossing
the line just three seconds behind Lancaster.
Meanwhile, KTM rider Aarol Bright rounded out
the top five, while Yamaha riders Matt Pierce,
Matt Hanna and Eric Wilczek finished sixth,
seventh and eighth.
Nathan Wallpe finished ninth on a Honda, while
Yamaha rider Joshua Merritt was 10th.
Braden Henthorn was the top finishing "non-Pro"
rider, winning the College A (16-21) class with
a 15th overall finish.
In the A.M. race, Dave Simmons (Yam) won the
$100 GT Thunder Amateur Overall and topped the
Masters (50+) class as well. Kevin Trantham
was second overall on a Can-Am and first in
the 4x4 Lites division, while Traci Cecco (Yam)
was third overall and first in the Women's class.
Bryan Buckhannon won the prestigious 4x4 Open
division, beating out fellow Can-Am riders Michael
Swift and Andrew Langston.
In the Youth race, Cody Collier got his first
overall win of the year on a bike he borrowed
from Ballance Yamaha. The Ohio rider also took
first in the 90 Open (12-15) class.
Hunter Hart (Cob) was second overall and first
in the 90 Open (8-11), while Josh Simmons (PIT)
was third overall and second in the 90 Open
(12-15) division.
The 2011 Can-Am Grand National Cross Country
Series heads to New Berlin, New York for the
