Beau Baron ripped off the line and was in second
behind LMR Racing’s Robbie Mitchell who
grabbed the holeshot

“I tried to stay tight to
him, but he was hitting every puddle. My
goggles got all blurry because water got
into my tear off’s, so I had to get
rid of all of them. Then my hands began
to slip off the bars because they were so
wet. I watched him take a different line
and it turned out in my favor,” said
Baron about making the pass on Mitchell |
Once in the lead, Baron set a staggering pace
for the ten lap race. His teammate, David Haagsma,
did catch up, and Haagsma made the pass for the
lead when Baron made a pit stop, but Baron regained
the lead the following lap and held it to the
checkered flag for his sixth straight win.

David Haagsma raced his H&M Motorsports Honda 450R to his fifth second place finish in a row. Haagsma had a decent start and was in third as the pros went through the first turns. Haagsma took over second midway through the race and had to work to catch his teammate. When Baron pitted Haagsma was able to take over the lead for a lap. He then dropped back to second during his own pit stop.

“I just tried to catch Beau. He pitted first and I took the lead, when I pitted he got back by me. I tried all could to get back up to him, but eventually I just fell into my pace and took second. Everything worked really well and I had a great time, so all in all it was a good day,” said Haagsma. |
