Amateur:

Matt Shapaka went home with two overall wins.

The amateur ranks offer some of the best racing throughout the race day weekends, and this weekend was no exception. In the Unlimited A class, Kyle Dammann would post up two moto Holeshots to go along with his two moto wins. Taylor Condacure would follow him across the finish line in the first moto, but a 5th place in the second moto would earn him a 3rd overall. Billy Cottage’s 3-4 finishes would score him a 2nd overall.

The Unlimited B class had 31 entries and was split up into two qualifiers. Last years ATVA Production C champ, Matt Shapaka would score a moto win along with D6’s Drew Gilbert taking a win in the 2nd qualifier. In the final moto, it was Shapaka out front with an early lead while Gilbert got a bad start and would settle in for a 4th overall. Skapa remained unchallenged and truly earned his overall win. Samuel Henderson of Houston, PA would post mark two third place finishes for 2nd overall. Gregory Loucks would round out the top three.

Kyle Bard rebounded from some bad luck to claim 3rd overall in the College class

Shane Hull brought out his nearly stock Suzuki to race in the Unlimited C class and would take home two moto wins and the overall trophy. Adam Blackburn would grab the 2nd place overall position with Jamen Davidovich following up in third. Paul Ucman and Michelle Sucui would round out the top 5 overall position.

The College class allowed riders ages from 16-29 to compete, regardless of skill level. Matt Shapaka would jump onto a Honda for this class, but would repeat his Unlimited B class finishes and claim another overall win. Josh Deemer would post a 2-2 for an easy calculated 2nd overall. Hetrick Racing’s Kyle Bard would earn a 3rd place overall aboard his new YFZ.

A common misconception is that the Vet 30 plus class is toned down in speed, but Paul Gregg put in some hard laps. Russell Walker followed up in second place with Brian Jenkins rounding out the top three. Jesse Mattucci and Kevin Mengel Jr. finished out the top five.
