Methodically Shoemaker
passed riders until just before the
halfway mark when he made a
pass for the lead. Unfortunately
for Shoemaker, Ryan Varnes
crashed heavily off turn four,
bringing out the red flag. Varnes
was unable to make the restart.
Halbert took command of
the restart, but this also was
red flagged when Parker Nor-
ris (Kawasaki) and Davis Fisher
(H-D) both crashed in turn one.
Halbert, once again, nailed the
start and left Ryan Wells (H-D),
Bronson Bauman (Kawasaki) and
Shoemaker behind.
Shoemaker once again put
on a show, slicing his way to
the front and passing for the
lead again. With the big dollar
signs at the end of the rainbow,
Halbert retook the lead on the
last lap and held on. Shoemaker
picked up over $3000 for sec-
ond, while JR Addison (Kawa-
race for second. Jeffrey Carver
(Yamaha), Sammy Halbert (Hon-
da) and Davis Fisher (Honda)
were locked into a tight battle
that eventually went to Fisher,
with Carver and Halbert close
behind. Kevin Stollings (Honda)
saki) slipped into third.
Vanderkooi, Wells and Bron-
son Bauman held off a fast-
closing Fisher (after Fisher was
forced to restart last after his
crash). Henry Wiles, Chad Cose
and Jay Maloney filled out the
top 10.
Chad Cose topped the unique
450-505cc Framers class (a nod
to the history of dirt track). Cose
and his Honda were the class
of the field all night as he easily
won the 15-lap, 18-rider main and
the four-lap Dash for Cash. For
this portion of the program Cose
made $3200.
Cose finished the main over
five seconds ahead of a great
filled out the top five.
The 450cc DTX class was
the smallest of the night with 19
entries and was dominated by
Cameron Smith (Honda). Shane
O'Banion (Honda) worked his way
around Kyle Vanconant (Honda)
and Oliver Brindley (Kawasaki) for
second. John Vanderlaan edged
out Jordan Harris for fifth.
