North East Extreme Dirt Track ATV Racing Round 5 Oakland Valley Speedway September 15, 2012

Houghton would then fell the pressure from a hard charging Brian Ace. Houghton would succumb to the pressure from Ace and would slip back to the second place spot, but would be happy with the result as he too stayed clean for the rest of the race.

#92 Michael Houghton placed second in the NE EDT Round 5 Pro Class

Houghton would do battle with Ace as the two charged around the the track and both pulling away from the rest of the pack and running their own race. Houghton is hopeful for a win at the next and final round of the season, which is at the Batavia Motor Speedway on October 6th. Batavia is a track that Houghton calls home and will be looking for another good showing there.

#3 ESJ Graphics / TSI / Roberts Racing’s Andrew Evanyke would be aboard fellow racer, Andrew Ace’s TRX450R for the Pro main event as his main bike would fail from mechanical issues earlier in the day. Regardless, Evanyke would come out swinging hard, but would bobble early in the race and make his work cut out for him. Evanyke would do battle with the #6 of Justin Frindt and would be able to slip by with a few laps left. Evanyke would end up on the podium in the 3rd place spot. Evanyke as well as Houghton, is looking for a better finish at the Batavia Motor Speedway for the final round, in which Evanyke has won at multiple times, both in the NEEDT and National EDT ATV Racing Series.
