AFT SINGLES
The 15-lap AFT Singles main
event lacked the back and forth
drama of the Twins race, but the
large crowd erupted on lap six
when Shayna Texter took the
lead.
Chad Cose and Dan Brom-
ley had been battling over the
lead while Texter worked her
way to the front after a fourth-
place start. Dalton Gauthier
(D&D Cycles / Gobert Smash,
Husqvarna FC450) initially held
third, but faded.
As soon as Texter took the
lead it was obvious the race was
for second. "My motorcycle was
just working so good," Texter
said. "I couldn't figure out how I
"All in all, it was great. I made
some good moves on him there
at the finish," said Carver. "I ran
the bales coming to the while
flag. I wanted to do it coming to
the checkered, but with Wiles
being that close, I couldn't take a
chance of him blocking me. It is
a chess game out there. We did
our best to get second tonight."
Brandon Price finished a solid
fourth, well ahead of a three-rider
battle for fifth. Bronson Bauman
(Indian Motorcycle/Progressive
Insurance, Indian FTR750), Rob
Pearson (RJ Performance/Hite
Trucking, Indian FTR750) and
Bryan Smith (Crosley Brands/
Howerton Motorsports, Kawa-
saki Ninja 650) finished in that
order. Davis Fisher (Bob Lan-
phere Beaverton Motorcycles/
Dick Wall 60, Indian FTR750),
Stephen Vanderkuur (Amsoil Inc/
harder and harder, but Carver
was keeping pace, all the while
hearing Wiles close on them
both. "I knew Wiles was catch-
ing us a little bit. I knew that with
us doing the dicing it was slow-
ing us down, but I think Wiles
was catching us anyway," said
Carver. "When I heard Wiles one
lap, I just kicked it into high gear
on the last couple laps and went
for it."
On the podium it was hard to
tell if Mees was prouder of his
win or of his and Nichole's event.
"I had to ride the cushion to get
the win. It just wore me out, said
an exhausted Mees. "Jeffrey
pressured me so hard. You know
what, I'd rather win one like that
than check out and be gone
by a straightaway. I'm sure the
fans loved it. It was such a great
race."
KTM riders Shaya Texter (52) and Dan
Bromely (1) went 1-2 in the Singles class.
