In the Open Pro class, Yamaha’s Jason Dunkelberger
had his work cut out for him, but came out victorious
as he claimed the Open Pro win and the championship.
Dunk charged off the line in second behind Kody
Evans in moto one and began to challenge to rookie
racer right away. After a heated battle, the pair
connected in lap six, which allowed Dunk to take

position, which made for some exciting racing
action for the race fans |
In moto two, Dunk was once again in second behind
Evans and in lap five, the number 19 Yamaha made
his move and took over the lead. Dunkelberger
held on to take the moto two win. His overall
victory also allowed him to take the Open Pro
Championship. “I have to thank all of my
sponsors for their support this season. I had
a good time and I am really glad to have won a
championship!” Dunk stated.
French Racer Julian Valentin had better luck
in the Open Pro class than he did in Pro Production.
Valentin came off the line in third and held his
position all the way to the checkered flag in
moto one. In moto two, Valentin would do battle
with Keith Tebeau before he would work his way
into the number three spot once again. Valentin’s
consistency earned him second overall for the
day.
Keith Tebeau came on strong, taking a solid fifth
in moto one, and finishing a season’s best
in second in moto two. Tebeau’s consistency
this season allowed him to end his year in third
overall in the Open Pro points championship.

but in moto two, Evans lost his foot peg, which
slowed his efforts considerably and had him finishing
sixth in moto two, but Evan’s 2-6 finishes
was enough to put him in fourth overall and allow
him to finish second in class points.

under a new name, as ITP Tires, the series’
title sponsor will be pulling out, but the racing
will be just as intense and racers such as Dustin
Nelson and Beau Baron will be returning to the
series as nelson fights off Baron in order to
defend his title.
