Intermediate Quad
1st- #32 Bud Chancey- Honda 250R
2nd- #12 Wayne Palmer- Yamaha YFZ450
3rd- #78 Johnathan Cabana- Yamaha YFZ450
This was THE race of the night. Wayne won the first heat, and Bud won the second heat, so we knew the feature was going to be good. Wayne and Bud raced their a$$es off, bumper to bumper all 15 laps. Definately an excellent race!
Novice Quad
1st- #1 Zach Jacobson- Yamaha YFZ450
2nd- #3 Jeff Green- Honda 250R
3rd- #4 Dare Rambo- Yamaha YFZ450
Another great race. This class is always good, because they all run strong so you never know who's going to win.
Vet Quad
1st- #1 Tony Jacobson- Yamaha YFZ450
2nd- #71 Rick Dugan- Yamaha Raptor
3rd- #16 Brady Windsor- Yamaha YFZ 450
This was a good race. This class is growing and the racing is getting better. Tony did great for his first time racing, and Rick ran really strong as well.
Youth Quad
1st- #1 Joey Green- Honda 400EX
2nd- #21 Justin Palmer- Suzuki Z400
3rd- #7 Austin Akers- Honda 400EX
This class is always a blast to watch because these kids are always giving it their all. It is worth mentioning that #18 Carleigh Haas battled through the field to finally take first place for her first win, only to spin out in turn 4 on the last lap.
Ladies Quad
1st- #78 Lisa Cabana- Yamaha YFZ450
She raced in the Vet class and came in fourth overall. She can definately hold her own.

Micro Sprint
1st- #0 Brian Robinson
2nd- #88 Dave VanRaalte
3rd- #9 Rick Goss
The track was not the best due to rain. Both straightaways and turns 3 and 4 were beautiful, turns 1 and 2 were pretty rough. The track received 9.5 inches of rain on Thursday night in about 3 hours, so there were some pretty bad washouts that we couldn't get all the way out. The guys with good suspension got to use it! However, we had no accidents or injuries all night, which is always good.
Thanks to everyone for coming. See ya on the 17th.
