wouldn't last long.
After a mid-pack start, Mc-
Donal had already taken over the
point position by the first mile
marker. McDonal, however, had
company.
Honda rider Andrew Delong
had latched on to McDonal's
rear fender and the two would
battle for the win.
At one point, McDonal was
forced to pit after having caught
his brake lever on a root. After
a quick repair, McDonal had
been relegated to second but
was on a mission to catch the
new leader, Delong. The Beta
rider eventually caught Delong's
Honda and slipped past him, re-
taking the lead.
Delong, however, stayed right

the rest of the race. Only a few

the laps wound down. McDonal
held his ground and took the
checkers with little room to spare
over Delong.
KTM rider Jason Tino was
never far behind the lead duo
and would ultimately finish third,
ahead of Brayden Nolette (KTM)
and Salvatore Cusimano (Ya-

In the morning C event, more
than 350 racers filled the start-
ing grid to capacity. The top rid-
ers came out of the Schoolboy
1 and 2 classes, many of them
had already raced the day before
in the Youth main. By the end of
lap five Schoolboy 1-class riders
were leading. Out front was local
favorite Lucas Seelman (KTM)
who would go on to win. Dalton
Hook (Yamaha) and Joey Rain-
one (Kawasaki) went 2-3.
In the Youth main, GNCC
regular Robert "Christopher"
Weiss nabbed the holeshot from
the 14-15 Supermini row. Weiss
checked out and never look
back.
