Hoosier's Harold Goodman
Wins, Secured Pro ATV Championship
::Continued::
#338 Hellbound Racing’s Brian Ace would
come off the line in good form fending off Riley
and tucking in behind the #53 of Kirby Cooke and
#038 Michael Coburn. Ace would be able to catch
a break near the midway point of the race when
Coburn and Cooke would get tangled and sent flying
off the track. This would allow Ace to move up
to second place and pursue the hard charging Harold
Goodman. Ace would then soon come under fire from
Brad Riley who was on a mission to the front and
would force Ace to settle for a 3rd place finish
in the Pro class.

hard #038 Michael Coburn to secure the
final spot on the Podium for his 2nd straight
Pro podium finish

#038 Michael Coburn finished in the 4th
spot |
#038 Michael Coburn would come off the line in second
place charging in behind Harold Goodman. Coburn
would be able to hang on for a 4th place finish
even after getting tangled with Cooke earlier in
the race and having to restart on a red flag. Coburn
would then mount a charge to retain his third place
running order but would eventually get bumped back
a spot as Riley worked his way up to second place
resulting in Coburn finishing in 4th.
“My quad felt really good, we made some
adjustments and it was running great. After the
restart I kept up my pace and just rode my race.
My Hoosiers along with the Walsh/PEP setup was
really working great as well and got me off to
a great start,” said Coburn.
#6 of Justin Frindt would round out the top 5
of the pro class. He would do battle aboard his
Kawasaki KFX450R, the only one in the class. Earlier
in the day he would take home an 8th place finish
in his heat race but would get a better start
and finish out in 5th for the pro main.

Pro-Am racing was heated as well as it would
see Harold Goodman once again come away with the
victory followed by North Carolina’s own
Brad Riley and Chuckie Creech in 2nd and 3rd respectively.
#708 Elka Suspensions’ Harold Goodman was
no stranger to the holeshot at the beginning of
the night as he would come off the line in perfect
form aboard his Honda East Toledo TRX450R and
come away with the lead.

Rage ATV's
#708 Harold Goodman once again grabbed
the Pro-Am ATV holeshot followed by #25
Chuckie Creech & #27 Brad Riley
|
Goodman would go uncontested for much of the
earlier part of the race as the riders behind
him jockeyed for position. Once Riley was around
Creech the fire burner got kicked on high as Goodman
would feel the pressure as the #27 was waiting
at every turn. Fortunately for Goodman his speed
and accuracy would prevail on the slippery, sandy
track of Busco Beach and he would come away with
another 1st place finish for the evening.
