2010 Lucas Oil Pro ATV Shootout Lucas Oil On The Edge - Speed TV SEMO Raceway - Sikeston, MO October 16, 2010 Photos & Story by Garrett Hamilton

The Pro Heats would get underway in the afternoon on Saturday and would see Michael Coburn, Harold Goodman, and Kirby Cooke all take the win in their perspective heat races. During Coburn’s heat, he would be chased down by Brian Ace in second place, Chuckie Creech in third, Damon Brown in fourth, and Daniel Chepkauskas in fifth place. While Coburn would win his heat, Harold Goodman would grab the holeshot in his as well and set a blistering pace out front. He would be chased down by local H&H Performance’s Josh Hibdon in second place, Mike Mahan in third place, Frankie Batista in fourth, and Danny McGraw in fifth.

Yoshimura's Harold Goodman would win his heat races during the earlier part of the day which would help him get the track & quad dialed for the evenings main events	Kirby Cooke would also be hard on the gas aboard his Maxxis Tire's Honda taking the win in his heat race as well after he battled with Brad Riley for the entire race

Kirby Cooke would then take course and put his Maxxis/Victory Motorsports quad in the lead off the start. Cooke was not able to run away with the lead however as Brad Riley has his front bumper taking pain samples from Cooke’s rear grab bar for the entire heat! Riley would finish in second place followed by Kris Bures in third place, Doug Crossway in fourth, and Zack Thweatt in fifth.

The Pro main would get underway with a parade lap around the tightly knit course, and then the racers would warm their tires before heading the starting line. They would be lines up in sets of 5 racers per line with 5 lines in total as well. The motors screamed and off they went as Coburn’s Sparks motor rocketed him to the holeshot first followed closely by Troy Lee’s Kirby Cooke and H&K Performance’s Josh Hibdon. Yoshimura’s Harold Goodman would soon take over second place from Cooke within the first few corners to pursue Coburn who was running away with the early lead.

Michael Coburn would gain the early lead heading into the first tight right hander, through the sweeping left, up over the big tabletop and down into an extremely tight left hand 180 which had a lot of racers second guessing themselves as they careened through the cumbersome turn. “This track is super tight and with it being so one-lined, I was really pumped to be able to pull the early lead and hang on for the win!,” said Coburn after the race. The tight track would frustrate a few of the racers during the rounds because of the lack of opportunity for passing and as Coburn and Goodman would run into some traffic they would quickly get around them and onto their business.

Coburn’s biggest enemy on the track was that of his right rear tire. As the record-setter made his rounds, he could feel the backend of his quad becoming increasingly soft but luckily for him the tire held up for the remaining laps. Coburn was able to take the win and walk away with an extra $1500 dollars from the $3500 total pro purse payout.
