Quad racing is a family sport. What way for
fathers and sons/daughters to bond over a 3
day weekend of racing. The Dinger and Dill families
are perfect examples. Austen Dinger #88 and
Kill Dill #44 race together in the "Open
A" class and are fierce competitors on
the track. They may come from different states
but more alike than anyone can imagine. The
common thread is the love of quad racing and
2 dedicated dads. Countless hours of training,
many hard earned dollars, numerous pep talks,
and a $5.00 broom to prepare these boys for
the race before them. Even tho they have battled
it out several times this year, Dinger took
the overall win for the day followed by Zachary
Rose #27 and Dominic Moore #19.

Pake Shin took first overall in Open B
ATV Class |
The dark horse of the day was Aaron Hansen #14.
Aaron suffered a serious crash during round 4
but re-focused and meant business this weekend.
He took the holeshot in the "Open B"
and "Open Quad" classes. Hansen also
lead the "Open B" class for over 3 laps
before Pake Shin #58 worked his way around him
to take the checkered flag. Way to come back strong
Aaron.
It is always fun to watch the "Youth Co-ed"
class. There is a three way battle brewing between
Jose Correa #524, Ashleigh Offutt #20 and Creed
Willhoite #55 but Round 5 belonged to Jose.
He was ripping up the Oklahoma red dirt and
took home the win in the "Youth Co-ed "
& " Sport/ Blaster" classes. The
"Sport/ Blaster" class has been dominated
by Hart Walker #14 all season but Jose was unstoppable.
The points race is getting tight in both classes.
It will be interesting to see who will be on
the top podium spot come October.
The Holeshot was so close between Tyler Fortin
#14 and Bryce Ford #44 in the Mini sr class
that it had to be reviewed by video. After reviewing
the video the Holeshot award belonged to Fortin.
Austin Gaines received his first 1st place of
the season in "Mini Mod." Andrew McWilliams
showed a strong performance and took the checker
in the "Peewee Junior"
