Otisville,
NY
(10/20/2011)
– Round 5 was back at the starting point,
the NE EDT held it’s opening round at Oakland
Valley Speedway. The day started off the same way,
over cast and dark cloud cover that looked like
it was going to rain any second. But Oakland Valley
is famous for NO Rain! Practice was under way, Pro
and Pro/Am point’s leader had carburetor issues
and missed practice all together. Pro point’s
runner up Justin Frindt suffered bad luck as well
in practice, with his Kawasaki. Round 5 was proudly
title sponsored by Anthony Bros Powdercoating, of
Warwick, NY.
In the riders meeting, NE EDT President
Eric Jennings held a drawing for an amateur holeshot
award of $50.00. The drawing revealed the 90cc
class was the lucky class for the holeshot. Winning
the $50.00 holeshot award was local Dylan Dworak
of Bloomingburg, NY. Once again it was the Brain
Ace show grabbing both Pro/Am and Pro Holeshots,
earning himself $250 before the first lap was
over. The NE EDT put up an extra $100 for the
Pro oval ATV class; Andy Sier grabbed the holeshot
and pulled away with a half a track lead after
the 15 laps.
Pro/Am had a total of 15 riders signed up. With
a purse more than the Pro’s and $100 for
a holeshot award, the riders were looking ready
to work. Andrew Evanyke won the first Pro/Am heat
with no pressure from anyone, while on his joy
ride out front Evanyke set fast time for Pro/Am.
Ken Macgregor took home the second Pro/Am heat.
The final Pro/Am heat was dramatic to say the
least. Brian Ace pulled the holeshot after not
running a single lap of practice. Jennings was
second, Andrew Ace third. Jennings and A. Ace
got tangled up in the first turn. Falling to the
rear of the field, both managed to work their
way back to a second and Jennings in third.

Ace won the $100 Anthony Bros Powdercoating
holeshot award in the NE EDT Pro-am main
at Oakland Valley Raceway |
In the Pro/Am main it was Brian Ace on his Hellbound/Baldwin
Honda taking the $100 Anthony Bros Powdercoating
holeshot with Andrew Evanyke in second and Mike
LaBagh in third. On lap two Rob Gillespie clipped
a tire and went for a thrill ride bringing out
the red flag. Now with 2 laps down the field lines
back up. This holeshot this time was Andrerw Ace
out front, with big brother Brian in second. Brian
Ace was able to get by Andrew. But by half way
it was “the new kid on the block”
Andrew Evanyke coming from 5th now applying serious
pressure the Brian Ace. Evanyke trying different
option lines just about every lap. After a 10
place start on lap 10 Eric Jennings passed Andrew
Ace for third, Jennings was closing in on the
battle for the lead. After 15 nail biting laps
it was Brian Ace, Evanyke and Jennings with the
final spot on the podium.
