Rage
ATV' s #708 Harold Goodman grabbed the Pro-Am
Holeshot |
In the Pro-am class, Harold Goodman and Kirby
Cooke again were battling it out for the lead.
Goodman grabbed the Pro-am holeshot with Cooke
right on his grab bar. The pair battled for several
laps until Brad Riley caught up to challenge Cooke,
which gave Goodman a bit of breathing room and
allowed him to cruise to the checkered flag with
the win.

Once
again in Pro-Am Race, #708 Harold Goodman
held the lead with #53 Kirby Cooke hot on
his heals for the entire race with Goodman
holding on to the lead to take the win followed
by Cooke |
Kirby Cooke was looking strong as he shadowed
Harold Goodman in second. Cooke was pushing hard,
but Brad Riley came up from behind and began to
apply the pressure to Cooke. “Brad was right
on me and in the next to last lap, we connected
and it bent up my sub frame and broke my exhaust.
I felt pretty lucky after that to be able to finish
in second,” stated Cooke.

#27 Brad
Riley charged his way into the 3rd spot,
but collided with Kirby Cooke, which sent
him spinning to the sideline

Can-Am's
#25 Chuckie Creech took over the final spot
on the podium with Riley & Brian Ace
both having issues |
Chuckie Creech was running in a solid fourth
place behind Riley and Cooke but when Riley and
Cooke connected late in the race, Creech was able
to capitalize on the situation and move into the
number three spot before reaching the checkered
flag.
Nathan Wolff ran a solid race and was able to
move into the number four spot before reaching
the finish line and Dustin Hoffman would then
round out the top five for the day in the Pro-am
class.
Brad Riley’s connection with Kirby Cooke
late in the race cost him a podium position as
he would end up going off the track and fall back
to finish in 16th place.
