20 JAROD VANDERKOOI
7TH SUPERTWINS
Whether it's seventh heaven or some
sort of Groundhog Day-style purga-
tory, JMC Racing's Jarod Vanderkooi
found his level at seventh place once
again. He's now finished seventh three
races in succession, and, in his last
six outings, Vanderkooi has finished
seventh four times and one position
removed from seventh in the other
two. He said, "I struggled quite a bit
early on trying to adapt to the track.
We were bouncing between our 1 and
2 bikes and kind of had different set-
tings on each of them. We ended up
meeting in the middle to find a comfort
area. I had a decent heat race and
then got a great launch in the main,
but then [got] sucked in on the bottom
there and people were rolling me on
the top. So I buried myself early, but,
hey, seventh, I feel like I do this every
week. We'll take it and move on."
25 BEN LOWE
9TH SUPERTWINS
Prior to the main event, Rackley Rac-
ing's Ben Lowe did not get much time
on the track, so it was a minor miracle
he somehow managed to make his
way inside the top 10 at the end of
the night. He said, "Today was a little
rough. I had some electrical gremlins
