After a great battle in the Super Senior class between

John Gallagher who also landed the third and final podium
position for the AM overall. Traci Cecco placed her Yamaha
in the number spot surrounded by Parton and Gallagher
on their Polaris machines.

Rick Cecco suffered his 3rd DNF of the season
after the early lead over Scott Kilby |
In the tightest class race of the day Scott Sleppy took
his first class win of the year in the Sport class. Bobby
Ousley was only .11 seconds back in the number spot edging
out Joey “Wings” Margaria by a mere .03 seconds
ending in the third position in the Sport Class. The 4x4
Open class had quite a showing for the first two laps
and Rick Cecco at one point held the morning race overall.
After two laps Scott Kilby did manage to take the lead
and keep it for the duration of the race. Finding trouble
on the fourth lap Rick pulled out and ended his chances
for his first overall on a utility quad. Bryan Buckhannon
did wind up in the second position followed by Todd Knippenberg
in third. When you think of the Utility riders muscling
those big machines around the course you may have been
surprised when David Reese landed his 4x4 Lites Honda
in the number one spot for the day. Reese used his skills
to defeat Jerime Dudding by .08 seconds. Jamie Troutman
rounded out the top three also riding aboard a Honda.

Jesi Stracham earned her first Podium finish of
the year with 3rd Overall |
#823
Dylan Bradford made his 2007 Racing debut with
the Overall Win |
As far as the youth riders go it looks like it was
a day for the ladies to shine. Jesi Stracham rounded
out the third spot for the Youth Overall behind second
place finisher Jerry Welch and the Youth Overall winner
Dylan Bradford. All of the riders mentioned race in
the 90 Modified (11-15) class. In the 90 Limited (11-13)
class Cheyanne Shadron not only took the class for the
day, but she also moved into the points lead in her
class for the year. It is really nice to see the youth
of the sport as they grow and fill positions of the
racers that they look up to today. Go girls go……Look
out Traci.
