Gregoire went on to win the
opening moto with a comfort-
able 29-second lead over Kelley,
who fought his way up through
the pack in the dust.
Beta rider Brayden Nolette had
a second-place start, which led
him to a third-place finish. Ryan
Amancio battled his way past
Plaistow Powersports rider Justin
Cokinos, who rode in second for
two laps but dropped back to
fifth, where he would finish behind
Amancio. Jiggs Fustini was sixth.
In moto two, Kelley was out
front with the holeshot, setting
himself up for a good lead into
the race. As the race progressed,
the dust became unbearable in
the woods and on the track.
Gregoire had the track and
woods dialed, as he passed
Kelley on the first lap and stayed
in the lead for two laps. On lap
three, Kelley made a pass on
Gregoire and finished the lap
with 10 seconds on him after the
Yamaha crashed in the woods.
Kelley ended up finishing out the
moto in first place, with a 59-sec
-
ond lead over Gregoire, and win-
ning the overall.
Nolette sat in a comfortable
third in the second moto, with
Fustini holding down fourth.
Amancio was just five seconds
back in fifth.
Cokinos had some troubles
in the second moto, as he raced
four motos in a day, struggling
with muscle cramps.
On the podium, Kelley's 2-1
scores landed him the Pro AA
overall, Gregoire's 1-2 scores land
-
ed him second, and Nolette's 3-3
scores rounded out the podium.
The top amateur on the day
was Matt Webb (Yamaha), who
finished 13th overall and first in
A 250, also grabbing the A over
-
all trophy. Jonathan Alipio (KTM)
finished 17th overall, winning A
200, and Patrick Gougeon, finish-
ing 18th overall, was the A Open

break after round two due to a
