2017 TORC Series Round #11 Keys to the Big House Crandon, Wisconsin September 2, 2017

In the Pro Stock race, Greaves, who started on the inside pole of the event in his Yamaha, went to work after a slow start. He was quickly up to second on lap two behind the Yamaha of Dillon Pointon and then took the lead for good on lap three. Jake Lunderby finished second, earning his third consecutive podium in his Yamaha. Zach Martin was third in a Yamaha, ahead of Pointon and Polaris of Robert Loire.

“The track had water holes everywhere,” said Greaves, who now holds a nearly insurmountable 44-point lead in the title chase. “They threw some classes out there and the main groove was actually really good. The track was full of holes early so any time you caught a hole, you were losing time. That’s how I got past Dillon. Then it just came down to making no mistakes. We keep trying to make this machine better every round, seeing if any little think can make it better. These things are on rails and hopefully we can continue the streak.”

Lunderby was shuffled all the way to the outside at the start and hard to work hard for his third consecutive podium. He took second on lap nine when Pointon hit a hole and bicycled into a turn.

“I was faster is spots, so he made a mistake and I capitalized on it,” explained Lunderby. “There were a lot of big holes out there, so it was important to hit your lines and stay safe. It’s great to keep the consistency going.”

Martin also had to recover from an off early in the race. Going into the gravel pit turn, his car shut off. Falling back several spots, he had to make his way through the field. He took third from Pointon on the last lap in the final turn.

“Right there in that last corner he left the door open,” explained Martin. “I didn’t want to get into him, but I had to take the spot. The car shut off going into the gravel pit early in the race, so had to come back from eighth on a very tough course. I went through 30 tear-offs and I was scraping with two laps to go. It was interesting.”

The TORC Series heads into its final three races during a tripleheader weekend at ERX Motor Park in Elk River, MN. The events are scheduled for September 23-24.
