North East Extreme Dirt Track ATV Racing Round 4 Path Valley Speedway August 25, 2012

The Pro-Am main would get started and would see the racers battling it out for the first major race of the day. #6 Justin Frindt would come out and take the Pro-Am holeshot followed by Brian Ace, Eric Jennings, and Kris ‘Tiffer’ Bures.

Yamaha Banshee mounted Delancey would take a nasty hit off the kicker on one of the infield straights results in an over-the-bars dismount. He would require medical treatment and would be tended to by paramedics who would then take him to the local hospital. During this time the other pro-am racers would await the return of the ambulance before the racing action resumed.

Upon the restart, the racers were lined back up as they were in their perspective running orders but this time would see #338 PEP/Baldwins’ Brian Ace come away with the holeshot. Ace would then have to go back to the starting line as, yet again, another crash would red flag the race. This time it was the #6 Justin Frindt getting into #21 Kris Bures in the first corner, which would result in Bures getting thrown from his Tru-Way Racing 450R. Bures was injured from the dismount, and he would sit out the rest of the event.

Brian Ace would once again come out swinging and mount a charge to stay in the lead, which is exactly what he did as he would come away with the victory taking the checkered flag after 15 dusty laps later.

#401 Factory ESJ racer Eric Jennings would come out of the holeshot in the top 5 and work his way into the second spot by the end of the race. For the majority of the 15-lapper, Jennings and #16 Howie Motorsports’ Ed Howie would do battle until Jennings was able to slip a wheel in just before the big banked oval section of the short course. “My bike was running really good but the track here is just so slick and I was getting held up here and there but I was happy to move up and give Ace a run,” said Eric after the race.

#92 Baldwin Motorsports’ Michael Houghton was again out for a spot on the box for this weekend and he accomplished that as he would come away with a 3rd place spot after fighting his way through the dust at Path Valley. Houghton would put his PEP shocks to work to clear the first big jump of the infield and then slide around the tight right hander and up over the freshly built off camber. Michael would then slide his way past the #6 Kawasaki of Justin Frindt and the #16 TRX450R of Ed Howie to seal the deal on his 3rd place finish.
