“We got off to a really good start and I put in a good solid 15 laps,” said Houghton, who also won the Ironclad Cup Challenge award for his best combined finishes in Pro and Pro Am Unlimited. “The bike was working flawlessly. On the first day, we had a mechanical issue, so I had to set up the bike in my trailer. But we worked hard and came away with the ‘W.’”

Dawydko battled Cooke during the waning laps of the event. On the final lap, he and Cooke tangled, handing the runner-up check to Dawydko. “This was a tough race,” said Dawydko. “I got past Kirby, but not the way I wanted to.”
