Production A class riders were met with stiff
competition as Can-Am and KTM mounted racers
duked it out. Moto one holeshot went to Mark
Gehring followed tightly by Scott Waters. Midway
through lap one saw Waters taking the lead and
holding it all the way to the end of the race,
followed by Gehring, Roy Lampron, Brad Burbine,
and Joshua Mondo. Moto two was again a Scott
Waters and Mark Gehring battle up front. Unfortunately,
Water’s race was cut short due to his
chain coming off. This allowed Gehring to have
a free ride to the finish, untested for the
remainder of the race. First overall went to
Mark Gehring with 2-1 finishes, Roy Lampron
with 3-2, and Scott Waters with 1-6 finishes.

this year, going consistent and pulling third
overall with a 3-3 finish. Larissa Griffiths

that do not have open practices on Saturdays,
