however, as Carroll Motor Fuels/
Basciani Mushroom Farm's Cam-
eron Smith (Honda), RMR/McEl-
roy Packaging's Shayna Texter
(Honda) and JMC Motorsports'
Jamison Minor (Honda) were all
looking for a podium finish.
Much to the large crowd's
pleasure, Texter slipped her
Honda into third with two laps to
go. Smith finished fourth just a
half second ahead of Minor.
Southland Racing Products
John Vanderlaan (Honda) and
Autolight Spark Plugs/K.C. Cy-
cle's Kolby Carlile (Honda) were
right on Minor's rear wheel.
Mischler's H-D & BMW/Steel-
horse Law-backed Morgen Mis-
chler (Honda), Water's Autobody
Racing's Wyatt Maguire (KTM)
and Honda Town's Jeremiah
Lindberg (Honda) filled out the
top 10. CN
mistake and went wide and just let
me by. It was cool to see that, " said
Halbert. "I know if he was on his
Harley he wouldn't have done that.
It's good to see that there is some
weakness there with the Indian.
They are definitely not fully com-
fortable with it; it seemed like. He
definitely doesn't make mistakes like
that. It looks like they have a ways to
go. They are obviously great bikes. It
was nice that he let me by like that."
Fortunately the heavy rains that
sat just to the west of the race track
most of the night moved in just as
the pits were empting out and any-
one who stayed away because of
the weather forecast missed some
great racing.
Following their two wins Jared Mees
and Dalton Gauthier are taking
commanding leads in the AFT Twins
and Singles series, respectively.
Mees leads Bryan Smith 50 to 37,
while Dalton Gauthier has 50 points,
leading Wyatt Anderson at 30.
Apparently after giving it some
thought, after the race Sammy
Halbert filed a protest with AFT
over the lap-23 incident. Where that
leads is unknown right now, as AFT
will have to make a ruling, which, if
it would go against Mees, would no
doubt be appealed.
