T
he 2022-23 General Tire
Arenacross Outlaws Series
(formerly Hoosier Arenacross)
kicked off over the November 4-5
weekend with a doubleheader in
Topeka, Kansas. Both nights of
racing featured two main events
for the 250cc and 450cc Pro
classes, seeing three unique win-
ners take to the podium.
Round one took place Satur-
day night inside the Stormont Vail
Events Center. Honda-mounted
Lance Kobusch struck first with the
opening win in the 450 Pro class
and backed it up with a consistent
second in main event number two.
He finished second overall.
The current number-one of
Michael Hicks started off the
podium, fifth in race one, but
finished the night with a win and
the overall. Cheyenne Harmon's
2-3 finishes secured third for the
opening round.
Kobusch again put himself up
front in the 250 Pro division with
dominant 1-1 finishes for that over-
all win. He bested Harmon and
Hicks in the 250s as the three
riders flip-flopped positions.
Night two saw Grant Harlan get
to the top step of the box in the
450 Pro class. The Texas native
earned the overall win with con-
sistent 3-1 finishes. Round-one
winner Michael Hicks grabbed the
opening-moto win on night two,
but a second in race two put him
second overall. Mike Alessi's 2-3
scores gave him third overall for
the second round. Hicks leads
the points in the 450 Pro division.
Harlan again came out swinging
in the 250 Pro class for night two.
The Honda rider grabbed good
starts in both races and took the
overall win, making him a double-
class winner for round two of the
series. Hicks and Harmon earned
second and third respectively.
Harmon leads the 250 Pro
class points by just one point
over Kobusch.
