Batavia,
NY
(8/10/2011) –
Round 2 kicked off Friday night with an open practice
to get dialed in. After the sun went down riders
saw how the track transformed into one of the longest
and fastest tracks they were going to encounter
this year. The fastest lap time recorded was set
by Brian Ace in the Pro class with 1:04:79, yes
just over a minute! Saturday had great weather with
a high in the 80’s and not a cloud in the
sky. With two sets of option lanes and a ton of
track to race on, spectators were in for a treat.
The race was title sponsored by Dent Builders, putting
up $300 in holeshot awards and an extra $100 to
the Pro winner.
In the riders meeting, NE EDT President Eric Jennings
held a drawing for an amateur holeshot award of
$50.00. The drawing revealed the Open class was
the lucky class for the holeshot. Winning the $50.00
holeshot award was Ken MacGregor of Bloomingburg,
NY. Justin Frindt grabbed the Pro/Am holeshot and
earned himself $100. Brian Ace made it look easy
for the second time grabbing the Pro holeshot getting
another $150.
NE EDT had a great turn out with 80 entries for
round 2. The Production class had the most entries
of all of the amateur classes with eleven. The
track really separated the men from the boys as
the laps were double of most EDT races. As the
sun started to settle the mains were starting
to get under way. Batavia local Jeff Wagner made
it known he was going to represent Batavia’s
riders with a solid ride pulling the holeshot
and leading right to the checkered. With the track
being so physically demanding, the pack separated
itself very quickly and Justin Stimson finished
second with the new points leader Tiger Frindt
finishing third.
