Tim Shelman, #6 Mike Cafro & #10 John
Shafe had a three way battle going on early
in the race, but in the end all three would
experience issues at the season finale |
Tim Shelman was outside of the top ten on the
start and was making progress as he moved into
the number nine spot, but mechanical issues ended
things early for him, putting him in tenth place
in the pro class.
MCR/Maxxis Tire’s Mike Cafro sacrificed
his race after Beau Baron encountered issues.
Cafro was running in the number ten spot, but
pulled into the pits when he saw Baron had a mechanical
issue, giving him an eleventh place finish.

Beau Baron finished out the season with
a Top 3 finish in the pro class points race |
MCR/Maxxis Tire’s Beau Baron, who was holding
down the number three spot in the points chase,
was also looking good as he came off the start and
was holding strong in the number three spot. Baron
had even caught up to Jeremie Warnia and was challenging
him for second, but fell back in lap six due to
an engine failure that left him sitting on the side
of the track waiting for a tow back to the pits.
MCR/Maxxis Tire’s team manager, Mike Cafro
pulled into the pits to help Baron, but they would
not be able to get Baron back on the track, ending
things for him after just six laps. Baron was
still able to finish in third in points despite
his misfortune for the final round.
In the Pro-am ranks, Collins Webster wrapped
up the 2011 WORCS Pro-am championship and topped
the podium after a hard fought battle, while Keith
Johnson joined Webster on the podium in second
and Cody Mitchell finished in third.
