WIND IN THE P58 rider was given two runs, and the resulting times were very close. Josh Hill held the fast time on his Monster Energy Mountain Motor- sports Yamaha YZ450F through both rounds of racing, winning the top-seed spot for the Pro Stock main. Justin Hill finished close behind for a second-place qualifying run on his Bud Racing Kawasaki KX450F, while Nick Desiderio, Teyler, Evans, Cipala and Shipman all qualified in the following five spots within four- tenths of a second of each other. The qualifier results were inserted into a tournament bracket for the Pro Stock main on Sunday, and the battles began to see who would make it to the top first and move on to the next round of racing. This head-to- head format provided exciting action for the crowd. As the bracket started dwindling down, it was the Hill brothers who ended up in the final, which in - cluded some light-hearted trash- talking at the line. Justin got the jump on Josh, but Josh pulled ahead into the first turn and held the lead until the very top. In the third-place runoff, Evans beat out Cipala in another heated battle. For the Open class, there were some nitro bikes and several V-twins that were catching the attention of the fans, as many of them had never seen these bikes race up a hill before. Cipala was the first rider up and laid down a fast 22.814 seconds time on his Buell 1190 HCR, which held for the entire class. Josh Hill put down a solid 23.414-seconds run with a Yamaha YZ850F, earning him second place. Austin Teyler finished a one- tenth of a second behind for third place on his nitro-powered Suzuki RM-Z750, and Logan Mead fin - ished only one-tenth of a second behind him on his KTM 1290. GNCC XC2 Champion and ISDE star Josh Toth borrowed one of Cipala's Buell 1190 HCRs and, in his first time ever throwing a leg over an Open-class bike, Toth took a respectable fifth place. Josh Hill's 1-2 finish in the Pro Stock main and the Open class earned him 47 points and the overall win on the day, topping his own event for the first time and taking home a few custom wood trophies made by his brother, Justin. Cipala finished second overall with 43 points, and Teyler finished third overall with 35 points. Matt Musgrove Austin Teyler was third in the Open class on his nitro- powered Suzuki RM-Z750.
