North East Extreme Dirt Track ATV Racing Round #2 - Batavia Motor Speedway Batavia, NY June 18, 2011

With the Pro class having some very diverse riders from the first round, Batavia’s locals had a big home track advantage over the normal pro’s. It was NE EDT’s own Eric Jennings pulling the holeshot in the first Pro heat, with Brian Ace hot on his tail. Jennings was leading the first four laps as Ace was putting the option lanes to work ultimately passing Jennings for the lead. The race was now led by Ace, followed by Jennings and Frindt and before Jennings knew it; Frindt was now in striking distance and worked his way around Jennings for second place. The first heat ended up with Brian Ace and Justin Frindt finishing second. The second heat was locked down from start to finish with Jason Steadman grabbing the holeshot making it look easy with very little pressure from Andrew Ace who finished second.

The Pro race was about to get started and the pro’s had one last chance to look at any new lanes on their parade lap. With all 12 riders across the front row and Kahrissa Bechtold as the 30 second girl, the card was then turned sideways and the pro’s clicked into gear and race was on. Brian Ace made it very clear he was the man to beat with the holeshot and an extra $150 in his pocket for the holeshot award. The field spread out fast with Brian Ace in first, Justin Frindt in second and Andrew Ace in third. There was a lot of old fashion racing going on from fourth to last for every position. At the halfway mark, Brian Ace was way out front showing why he’s a national pro. Justin Frindt had a very comfortable lead over Andrew Ace while Eric Jennings had really come through the pack from almost last place and was now catching up to Andrew Ace. In the last 6 laps of the race the riders had settled into their spots and now the race came down to the final spot on the podium. Jennings was looking for any chance to pass a very tired Andrew Ace. As Jennings and Ace took the white flag, Jennings went to the outside option lane for one last chance. As the option lane came together, Ace and Jennings was nerf bar to nerf bar but Ace was able to keep Jennings behind him for third. Overall it was Brian Ace, Justin Frindt and Andrew Ace finishing third.
