Gabe Phillips slides around the last turn before heading out for the final lap.

Gabe reported after the race:

"Well I got a decent start but I got tangled up with another rider and was dead last. I just tried to stay calm and put my head down and rode smart. I came through the finish line in 19th on lap one and as each lap went by I started picking 3 or 4 guys off a lap and ended up 5th and 18th overall, but from where I started from it was ok with me. I just need to practice my starts more so I can get out front. I hope I can get that at South Carolina and pull off a podium!

After getting the holeshot and leading the first few laps, Don Ockerman would run into some issues and drop back, finishing the day in the 13th position.

Walker Fowler would claim the win in College A making it 3 in a row for this insanley talented young racer! Not only has he been the highest placing amatuer in the first 3 rounds, he has finished inside the top 20 overall at the last two rounds!

Rock on Walker!!!

Dave Simmons would make it two in a row as he rode to the Senior A 40+ class win!

Jamie Bithell would finish second behind Fowler in College A, but from his almost dead last start to 2nd shows he too knows how to drop the hammer!

The FRE/KTM Team was all eyes and ears as they awaited for any word from the track on how McGill was doing.

Jonathan Shaff would score a 6th in Junior A

When the leaders emerged, it was Bryan Cook holding the lead!

I can pretty much garuntee you McGill was looking everywhere for a good line to make the pass, however his strategy of getting on the podium at every round may have kept him from the "checkers or wreckers" attitude that we saw a few times last year.
