Irvine and Darren Reid kept the third through
fifth positions. MacDo nald took the checkered
flag witho ut being threa tened. Kolbet finished a
di stant second . Third place went to Fry, fourth

In mota two , MacDona ld gated perfectly to
take the lea d , Kolbet followed in seco n d. The
two Hondas were neck and neck for three laps
as both riders left the pack. Jim Fry agai n ran in
third while Reid was fo u r th ahead of To m
Lynn . MacDonald conti nued his winning streak
on the fast track with speed an d confidence to
take the checkered flag. Kolbe! ea med a second
overall for the day. Fry got third , Darren Reid
fourth and Tom Lynn fifth. Justin Tieamey dominated the 250cc Pro class aboard his Michael 's

Youn g totally roos ted the field in the first
BOcc (14-16) race, leading fro m the drop of the
gate to the checkered flag un contested. George
La "Monte dogged Jason Webb in seco nd place
for a couple of laps before making the pass and
holding down that position un til the finish. Josh
Ahem overtook Devin Seeger on the white flag
lap to earn fourth.
La M onte p o w ered to t he seco n d- mo to
holeshot with Webb and Young in hot pursuit.
Young got around Webb with jus t over a lap
com p leted . La Mont e had trouble and dropped
to fifth. Young inherited the lead and proceeded
to distance himself from the pack for the win.
Webb cruised home to a lonely second-place finish ahea d of La Monte, who worked back to
take third.
La Mo nte returned to grab the lead at the
start of the firs t 80cc Open mo ta . J.J. Bona nno
and Scott Howe were running second and third,
respectively, just in front of Young . By the second lap, Young picked off Howe and a lap later
di d th e sa me to Bonanno to ta ke ove r seco nd
place. La Monte feU vic ti m to the cha rge o f
Young at the hallw ay poin t, as he was pu shed
back to secon d where he wou ld stay for the
duration.
Mo to two was a yaw ne r, as th e PAXI
An swer / N -Sl'yle l AFAM -s po nso re d You ng
snared the holeshot and neve r looked back. La
Mon te gated in second ahead of Howe an d
Bonanno, and by the completion of lap one, the
ride rs were set in position u ntil the end of
themoto.
Greg Andrew was u ntouchable in the first
round of the 125cc Novice class, going wire-towire for the win. Jake Gribbon ran a consistent
second where he would finish jus t ahea d
of Keny Terra ccian o, who worked up from a
seventh-place start.
Terracdano got a much better start in mota
tw o, lead in g A n d rew, Gri b bon a nd Jason
Ho w a rd Terraccia no and An drew went at it
head -to-head, with the two rid ers pulling clear
of Gribbon' in the final stages . Andrew couldn't
