Franklin, PA - Houser Racing’s
Harold Goodman topped the Pro and Pro-am podium
at round number six of the 2011 Extreme Dirt Track
Series, while Kirby Cooke dominated the Pro-am Unlimited
class.
Tri City Speedway was the hosting facility for
round six where a threat of rain loomed over Saturday’s
races. With rain in the forecast, track officials
decided to keep watering to a minimum in case
Mother Nature decided to let loose, but the rain
never came and dust became an issue in some classes,
but that didn’t seem to matter much to Harold
Goodman.
As the Pro class left the line, Harold Goodman
grabbed the holeshot and was followed closely
by Michael Coburn. After several laps of pressuring
Goodman, Coburn fell back allowing Goodman to
cruise to the finish line, taking the Pro class
win.

Holeshot |
“Michael was close on the start, but I
edged him out at the last minute. He stayed with
me for a while and tried to make a pass a couple
of times but I was able to keep the lead and take
the win,” explained Goodman.

off #038 Michael Coburn to the finish line
to claim the win & extend his points
lead over Coburn to 19 points with two rounds
of racing left in the 2011 racing season |
Michael Coburn was looking fast off the start
as he was side by side with Goodman going into
the first turn, but was pinched out in the holeshot,
putting him in second. Coburn mounted an attack,
but things did not go according to plan. “I
was right behind Harold and my rear brake reservoir
broke and I had no back brakes so I had to back
off a bit. Then Brad Riley started to catch up,
but I was able to hold him off and finish in second,”
said Coburn.

eating dust for the entire race as he charged
after Coburn & Goodman |
Brad Riley charged hard off the start, taking
a fourth place position behind Brian Ace. Riley
applied the pressure and despite the narrow track,
was able to get by after a few laps when Ace made
a mistake. Once in third, Riley began to chase
down Michael Coburn and caught him in the final
laps, but was unable to make a move before reaching
the checkered flag.
“It was really single lined out there and
it was dusty off the start so it was hard to see
as well, but I still made it to the podium so
I’m happy with how everything went for the
most part,” said Riley.
