Cokinos Tops J Day Granite State GP
J
Day Off-Road held round
10 of the AMA East Grand
Regional Championship at New
Hampshire Motocross Park in
Lempster, September 13-14. The
Plaistow Powersports' Granite
State GP saw Justin Cokinos
take the overall victory.
The day started off sunny with
excellent weather, and the racers
faced a long, flowing track, but
as the moon dust began to rise
in the woods, which held a lot of
hidden rocks, it tested the riders.
In the first 30-minute moto,
AmPro Yamaha's Brandon
Gregoire claimed the Fox Rac
-
ing holeshot, maintaining the
lead until lap two, when Justin
Cokinos, on the Plaistow Power-
sports Yamaha, overtook him.
Cokinos ultimately crossed the
finish line in first place, narrowly
ahead of A&E Racing's Jiggs
Fustini (KTM) by just two-tenths
of a second. Gregoire finished
in third. Brayden Nolette, riding
for Beta, began in fourth place
and fluctuated between third and
fourth before ultimately finishing
moto one where he started, in
fourth.
Cody Williams (GasGas)
surged ahead at the start of the
second moto and held the point
position through three laps. By
lap four, Cokinos had caught and
passed Williams for the lead.
Cokinos then focused on
maintaining his lead, which he
did successfully for a 1-1 sweep.
However, it was close. Cody
Williams finished just one-hun
-
dredth of a second behind.
Jiggs Fustini fought his way
from sixth to claim third, while
Gregoire took fourth, with No
-
lette completing the top five.
