AFT SINGLES
The Kody Kopp domination tour
continued unabated at Weed-
sport Speedway. For the third
consecutive round, the 17-year-
old star-in-the-making was nearly
perfect and effectively beyond
the reach of the rest of the Parts
Unlimited AFT Singles field.
The Red Bull KTM Factory
Racing ace has made it a habit
of outclassing his rivals with both
his lightning starts and sheer
pace, infrequently providing
them much hope for a rebuttal.
It was more of the same in
New York. Estenson Racing Ya-
maha's Trevor Brunner did make
up some ground once he broke
free of a multi-rider melee for
second, but Kopp simply reas-
serted his control of the race in
response.
Brunner would have to be
content with second place, and
it's likely he was. The aggressive
rider had demonstrated plenty of
speed this season, but miscues
and misfortune had dampened
his actual results. The runner-
up was his first podium of the
season and a strong effort to
build on.
The same was true for Cana-
dian Hunter Bauer, who hustled
his NKR Canada KTM up from
the fourth row to claim a first-
career Progressive AFT podium.
Like Brunner, the second-year
pro had flashed major league
potential on multiple occasions
and was finally rewarded with a
top-three result.
For the third race in a
row, 17-year-old Kody Kopp
took the Singles win.
