ond round, MSS regular Logan Mead's run was 0.03 of a second off Devlin's, but it was Montana's Payton Reimers who won the class with a 17.455-second run on his Hi-Tech Motorsports KTM 450 SX-F. This was Reimer's first Pro-class win. In the prestigious Open class, the hill course changed, and the conditions began to erode as the top three earned their best times on their first run. Wisconsin's Logan Cipala, three-time Moto - climb Super Series Champion, came out swinging on his first run and set the fastest time with a 17.552 second ride on his Buell 1190 HCR. Austin Teyler sent his Suzuki RM-Z1000 up the hill in his typical spectacular fashion, barely missing Cipala's time by 0.05 seconds. Reimers finished in third on his KZ1428. Mead finished fourth on his KTM 1290, and Chad Jelinek finished fifth on his Yamaha R1. The Pro Stock Qualifier was the most nerve-wracking class for the athletes, but the most exciting for the spectators. Being the most challenging stock- length hill on the MSS circuit, there was a lot of doubt as to whether it could be crested on a stock-length bike or not. LeBlond was early in the qualifier and was the first one to make it over on his Husqvarna TE300i. This feat was a sigh of relief for the racers and became a trend as eight of the 38 competitors made it over the top, while the remainder received footage scores based on where they stopped. Cipalla won the qualifier on his GasGas MC450F with a 20.704-sec - ond ride. LeBlond's time held for second, while Thorn Devlin had a great ride on his GasGas MC350F for a third-place seed. The Pro Stock main featured the top-32 racers from the Qualifier in a single-elimination tournament-style bracket, starting on metal start gates. Cipala and LeBlond won their races after some stiff competi - tion, eventually facing off in the final round. Logan Mead, on his GasGas MC450F, was seeded 13th, but pushed his way into the third-place runoff against Austin Teyler on his Suzuki RM-Z450. Teyler edged out Mead for the final podium spot. In the final round of racing, Cipala had a good jump where LeBlond started off a bit behind, which was unlike his previous holeshots from the day, but Cipala ran away from the hard enduro star and won the first- ever Pro Stock main event. With a win in the Open class and Pro Stock main, Cipala earned 50 points and won the overall of the Brick Mine. Teyler finished second overall with 42 points, and Mead finished third overall with 36 points. CN Pro Stock 1. Logan Cipala (GG) 2. Ryder LeBlond (Hus) 3. Austin Teyler (Suz) OVERALL 1.
