Frank Batista landed in the third spot of the Pro podium but was not handed the spot easily as he had his hands full with Jay Rehagen who rode in third place for over three quarters of the race. “ Yeah Jay was right in front of me for practically the whole race, finally I was able to make my way around him before the end of the race because his tranny was giving him shifting problems around the corners. It was such a tough race but I’m glad to be back up here with a podium finish,” said Batista while on the podium.
