The best race of the day was the race for the Pro 250 Cham- pionship. The top three riders in the championship were covered by just eight points. Colton Aeck was on top of the leaderboard, with Semmens and Kai Aiello close behind. However, RPM FMF Racing's Tristun Alvarez got the holeshot with Jake Alvarez and Semmens right behind. Bat - tles were brewing as Aeck made a pass early on to get around the RPM crew and lead the race after the second lap, which he held until the fifth lap. After passing Aeck, Semmens took off and then slowly built his lead. He won the race with a comfortable margin of 25 sec - onds. However, he needed a little help to win the title. A second place in the race by Aeck would give Aeck the championship, but Aeck had his hands full with Australian Sam Pretscherer, who wanted second place in the race just as badly as Aeck wanted to win the championship. On the last lap, Aeck was leading Pretscherer, but a minor mistake would cost Aeck the title. He lost the front end and had a small tip-over, but that was all Pretscherer needed to scoot by Aeck and into second place and hold it there to the finish. Aeck got up in third, where he would finish. Semmens and Aeck finished out the season with 186 points each. Semmens, however, was awarded the championship, having more race wins over the course of the season than Aeck. In Pro-Am, Noah Gordon dominated. He grabbed the hole- shot and rode a near-flawless race, taking the checkered flag by just under a minute ahead of Kayden Lynn. Jackson Glathar was awarded the 2024 Pro-Am Champion, locking up the title with a third. Gavin Dugan and Dayan Lucero finished out the top five. Tristun Alvarez had some new competition on Saturday in the 125cc class, as Clay Hengeveld came out to race just a few hours from home in Phoenix. WIND IN THE P58 Tyler Lynn got back to his winning ways. He was the overall Pro winner.
