AMSOIL ARENACROSS CHAMPIONSHIP VOL. 51 ISSUE 13 APRIL 1, 2014 P107 ed. "Our bikes are dialed and we do a lot of testing with Pro Circuit and it's all in the preparation. I only have a year-to-year deal, but hope to be back on this program again." Tuf Racing Ti-Lube Honda's Kyle Regal was a newcomer to the sport of Arenacross this year, but he adapted pretty well, cap- turing one win in Milwaukee back in January. He had 4-3 main event finishes in Salt Lake and, in the end, he finished fourth overall. Regal has always been known as more of an outdoor rid- er and somewhat even in Super- cross, "The series totally caught me off guard I and had no idea," Regal explained. "It's completely different than Supercross. You can throw a top-10 guy from there in here and they won't adapt to it as fast as these guys do. The se- ries is run good and has a lot of good guys in it. The tracks were good this year and better than I first thought. If I come back, I'll take it more seriously and try to win this thing." But he also admitted that he wants to race Supercross next year and may not be back even though he did well in the series in his first year. "I finished fourth in the cham- pionship and it was better than I thought I would finish," added Regal. "But I rode smart these last 10 races and got like eight out of 10 podiums, so I'm pretty pumped on that. I just really played it safe tonight and didn't want to do anything dumb. I got a deal for Supercross for the last four rounds this year and want to prove myself in there again to try to get a deal for next year. If not, I'll come back here and be way more prepared than I was here this year and see if we can get a little closer to that champion- ship." Farmer's Insurance Reynard Mod's Cory Green finished the series in fifth. The Oklaho- man went 6-8 at Salt Lake and reached the podium three times throughout the series and was quite consistent as well. Ohio's Willy Browning was sixth overall and Woodstock KTM TZR's Tra- vis Sewell was seventh. Privateer Gared Steinke was eighth overall, an improvement of two spots on his 10th-place
