Points Championship |
“The car felt really good today,” said Yokley.
“The Racer Tech components cleared everything.
It’s been great so far and I hope the rest
of the season goes just as smooth. The track
had a little bit of everything. It had the
tight technical woods sections and the wide-open
motocross sections. It was a lot of fun.”
Stracham, fresh off her first Single Seat
podium, drove her specially built Polaris
to her second top-five finish of the season
and moves to fourth in points. Stracham is
paralyzed from the waist down and drives a
Racer Tech machine specially fitted with hand
controls.

“To run in the top five is always great,”
said Stracham. “The track was unbelievable.
It had every different surface: roots, rocks,
dark mud, sand; it had everything. My Racer
Tech Polaris ACE just hooked up. I had the
advantage with my hand controls. We’re really
getting it dialed in.
“This season has been phenomenal,” added
Stracham. “Our goal was to get this car on
the box and we did that. Andy from Racer Tech
really got my program together this year.
We’re out there having a blast.”
Racer Tech’s Christopher Hale recorded a
season best fourth place finish less than
three seconds behind Robert Boynton claiming
the final spot on the podium. Boynton is also
running Racer Tech components on his Polaris
ACE, and he is currently tied for the points
lead with Sam Yokley heading into the second
half of the season.
