Batavia, NY - The
Extreme Dirt Track series and its racers would head
to the great North East for round 6 of the 2012
season. Batavia Motor Speedway would be home for
this round and would provide the racers and opportunity
to try out a new track that the EDT Series had never
been to before.
Racers were greeted with severe thunderstorms
around the area on Friday, but the track only
saw a light misting for the majority of the day.
This would push back practice until around 7pm
on Friday evening. The racers would hit the track
for the first time and begin to lay down their
lines and test this unique track.
The track would prove to be very solid for Saturday’s
racing but would also provide a bit of a smash
up from the Pro’s regular results. Honda
East Toledo’s Harold Goodman would take
the win in Pro while PEP’s Chuckie Creech
would slide his way to the front of the Pro-Am
class. Maxxis’ Brad Riley would once again
find himself on top in the Pro-Am Unlimited class.
In the Pro main event, Houser Racing’s
Harold Goodman would rip off the blue grooved
line to put his #708 Honda 450R at the front of
the pack and take the holeshot. He would also
earn a little spending money as he took away the
$100 Pro Holeshot award posted up by Eric Jennings
of ESJ Graphics.

Hoosier's
#708 Harold Goodman grabbed the Pro ATV
holeshot followed by #338 Brian Ace on
his Hellbound Racing Honda 450R
|
After the holeshot, Goodman would continue to
lay down fast times and keep his nose clean the
rest of the race. His speed and accuracy navigating
the many jumps and elevation changes at the Batavia
track would prove ideal for him as the other racers
couldn’t hang on as Goodman held his lead
for all 20 laps to take the win.
Hellbound Racing’s #338 Brian Ace would
prove to everyone at Batavia that he has the endurance
and skill to get on the podium as he came off
the line directly behind Goodman and would hang
on to claim the second spot on the Pro Podium.

Roberts Racing's
#338 Brian Ace was able to hold off the
hard charging Maxxis' #27 Brad Riley to
take the 2nd spot on the Podium
|
The Pennsylvania native would have his hands
full as the North Carolina’s Chuckie Creech,
Kirby Cooke and Brad Riley were on a hard charge
of their own behind him. For Ace, he would keep
his head up and rubber side down to complete the
full feature and take home 2nd place. This would
solidify Ace’s first podium visit of the
year and he himself would gain much confidence
heading into the final two round at Busco Beach,
NC.
