Second Pro 250 and fifth
overall put Vore at 170 final
points, a scant three more than
Smail. Dahners slid in for third in
class and sixth overall for third in
points at 151 on his AmeriCool/
TBT Racing/Arai YZ250FX.

Gas-mounted J.T. Baker, Carson
City Motorsports Husqvarna's
Ryder Thomaselli (making his
Pro 250 debut) and DC Racing
Sherco rider Mason Ottersberg
(on a 450 SEF in Pro/AA) round-
ed out the top 10.
Eric Thompson took his KTM
to the Pro Vet 35+ win over Red
Bull's Daron Rahlves, with Devin
Watson credited with third on his
M9 Husqvarna. KTM-mounted
James McMurray had an off day
at sixth, but that was enough to
clinch the class championship by
two points over Watson, 143-141.
In Pro Women, Britney Gallegos
made her season debut and—in
perhaps a preview of next year—
led Ava Silvestri to the check
-
ered flag by just three seconds.
However, that was sufficient for
FMF/Dunlop/Troy Lee Designs EX
250F-mounted Silvestri to make it
two straight WHS championships,
her nearest competition being 3
Bros./Alpinestars KTM's Mikayla
Nielsen, who was just over three
minutes behind in third. The final
points saw Silvestri over Nielsen,
191-172.
"Especially after coming home
from ISDE [earlier in the week],
I feel like I had to climb some
mountains to get here, so I'm
stoked about [the champion
-
ship]. It feels pretty good to
go two in a row, back-to-back,"
Silvestri said.

Finishing second

for Ava Silvestri to
make it back-to-back
WHS Pro Women
number-one plates.
Though he couldn't
hold off Landon DeVall,
second was good enough
for Lowe Lord to wrap up
the Big Wheel (12-15)
championship.
