despite it being his first start. He
came into the event with an open
mind and an excellent attitude
and it paid off with the final spot
on the box on Saturday.
Aeck also made himself look like
a veteran, despite the weekend
representing his first and second
starts in the series. On Saturday he
finished fourth. He backed that up
with a runner-up finish on Sunday.
Aeck competed in the race at the
urging of his uncle.
Ottersberg had to fight hard for
that final step on the podium on
Sunday. He overcame brake is-
sues that started early in the race
and fought hard to finish third.
In Pro 2 Lights, Lynn's sweep
of the weekend is quickly making
the championship chase interest-
ing. The victories, along with a
seventh-place finish on Saturday
by points leader Jake Alvarez has
moved him to just a single point
out of the championship lead.
Strangely, Lynn explained he had
an off weekend.
Thomas Dunn finished second
in Saturday's race. The first-year
Pro won the 250A race and then
topped it off with a podium finish.
Dunn followed Tyler throughout
Saturday's race and is definitely
beginning to learn the ropes in
the class.
Angus Riordan finished third
on Saturday. The finish marked
his fourth podium in a row. Com-
bined with a fourth on Sunday, he
is now in a mathematical tie with
Lynn for second in points.
In Sunday's race, Alvarez
rebounded to finish second. Will
Riordan, Angus' older brother,
was third. Alvarez has been strug-
gling with throat issues all sea-
son. Through the sickness, he
has stayed in the points lead and
will be a strong competitor when
it comes down to the wire.
Sibling rivalry came into play
on Sunday as the elder Riordan
was swapping positions early with
his younger brother. That drove
him to earn his second podium of
the season.
In Women Pro, Brandy Rich-
ards continued her winning ways,
earning victories in both races.
She has won every race going
back two seasons and seems
pretty much unstoppable.
Kaitlyn Jacobs and Lauren
Woods swapped spots on the
podium both days with Woods
finishing second on Saturday and
then third on Sunday. Jacobs
has spent significant time on her
fitness. Leaner and meaner, she
was pleased with her weekend,
especially because she was rid-
ing a lower horsepower 250.
Woods took the holeshot in
both races and battled Jacobs
throughout the weekend.
