North East Extreme Dirt Track ATV Racing Round #4 - Path Valley Speedway Dry Run, PA October 22, 2011

The Pro class having some close points for second, third and fourth place riders were looking to take advantage of B. Ace not being on his own quad and pull off a win. Some new Pro’s to the series were not to be over looked Kristopher Bures and Michael Houghton looking to put some cash in there pocket as well. With everyone in one heat, it was "get a win for a good gate pick for the main" style racing. Houghton grabbed the holeshot with the series point’s leader B. Ace in second and Frindt in third. There was not much passing going on up front, but Eric Jennings wasting no time coming from last place to pick riders off one by one, by lap 4 Jennings was now your new leader. The rest of the field did not change, after 8 laps Jennings was out with a huge lead taking home the win. After the heat the famous “Mouth” interviewed Jennings on what had happened in the Pro/Am heat with his bike trouble and asking Jennings how he came from last to first in the Pro heat, Jennings stated “I Love a slick track!, and I think we got problems worked out. I hope to put the Yamaha on top of the box”.

In the Pro/Am main, Bures the first heat race winner lined up. Houghton the second heat race winner had some last second troubles and asked for 2 minutes. With exceeding the 2 minutes he was forced to start on the penalty line. The light turned green and it was Andrew Ace on his barrowed quad taking the $100 Fast Forward Racing holeshot with Kris Bures is second and Landon Myers third. On lap two Bures clipped a hay bail, Bures getting thrown side saddle and was being drug by the quad coming back on the oval, making Meyers, Evanyke and Jennings shooting into all different directions. Jennings capitalized passing all three riders on the oval putting him into second and Evanyke in third. On lap 4 Jennings passed A. Ace for the lead and started to check out. After half way Jennings was out front with a 8.00+ second lead, A. Ace and Evanyke battling for the second spot when Justin Frindt brought out the red flag on lap 8. After Frindt was tended to, Frindt walked off the track, the Path Valley officials lined the riders back up for the remaining 7 laps. Now with riders ready to go the green light in on, Jennings problems came back again with all the riders in line Jennings was nailed from behind by Ace, with nowhere to go sending Jennings and Ace into a ball of flipping quads and flying debree that the rest of the riders were trying to avoid. With less than 100 feet ran in the red flag was out again with Jennings and Ace trapped under the quads. Jennings and Ace walked away with minor bumps and bruzes. With two more front runners out Andrew Evanyke was the new leader. The third start of the race was underway with Evanyke leading and Houghton in second. The final 7 laps went without any other problems. After the exciting 15 laps Evanyke taking the win with Houghton and Meyers on the podium.

The Pro main had a whole new playing field with heat winner Eric Jennings out after his string of problems coming to an end in the Pro/Am main, the field was now about even. Now Houghton with the first gate pick, the rest of the field lined up. It was none other Brian Ace grabbing the fifth holeshot of the year earning himself that $150 from Fast Forward Racing before the first lap was over. B. Ace on another barrowed quad bobbled on the first lap leaving Burs and Houghton tangled up for a few seconds. The field was spreading out fast but Bures was coming through the pack. After halfway Ace was still your leader but Bures was now in second, on lap fourteen Bures was now applying pressure to Ace for the lead. Bures made the pass on Ace on the oval onto the oval. Bures was slowly walking away with the lead, Ace in second and Justin Frindt in a distant third.
