That meant that everyone was hoping (or a great start! When it comes to great starts, nobody does it better than 125cc Modified leader Payton 5assaman. He grabbed the holeshot on his Honda and then managed to hold off the hardcharging Troy Estabrook, also on a Honda, who was followed by Honda rider Shayna Texter, KTM rider Edward Sater, and Zack Olliff, also on a Honda. This showcase of amazing riding talent was only the beginning. L:8:7CHEVRDLET Off/clal Car and Offlcla/ Truck The 250cc Modified Four-Stroke class has some of the RACING ON THE TUBE fastest teenage riders out there. In the main event, Austin D. Greenland snagged the holeshot, but then he had to hold off Estabrook, who tried every possible way he could think of to take away the lead. However, despite all Estabrook's attempts, he couldn't get past Greenland, who took the win. Estabrook finished in second, followed by Toby Stay, Matthew Weidman and Colby Chandler, all of whom were riding Hondas. In the 400cc Modified class, KTMO-mounted Cory Texter led the way to the checkered flag in superb style, followed by Yamaha rider Bret Tremblay, Honda rider Robert E. Descenna, Yamaha rider Kurt Brady, and Rotax rider Walter Behrens. These guys were simply awesome! The 505cc Modified class wasn't too shabby, either, with extremely talented riders such as KTM jockey John M. Lewis V battling it out with Honda rider Shane Narbonne, followed closely by Rotax rider Brandon Robinson, Suzuki jockey William Stevens III and Honda rider Brett Sassaman. These guys definitely stole the show with the best Amateur race of the day! In the Open Pro class, Yamaha-mounted Matt Burton, Honda jockeys Jason K. Goodwin and Kyle Whitis, Yamaha- mounted Shawn Montgomery and Husqvarna rider Steve Murray put on a truly astonishing show. They had those bikes at full throttle all the way around that racetrack, and the crowd loved it! What a way to end a great day of racing. The fans and racers' participation in and support for dirttrack racing is much appreciated. as are the efforts of the AMA, Steve Nace, and all the crew members who work so hard to maintain a safe racetrack. Hope to see you all here at the Thunderbowl next year. RESULTS so PfW SHAFT: I. Robert Han; 2. Tristan Avery. SO JR (4-6): I. Tristan Avery. SO SR (7-8) PREM: I. Nick McFadden; 2. Thomas Goodnick; 3.
