“I had a good start and grabbed the holeshot. I saw David Flores coming up behind me. We battled for a little bit and he got by me. Then the rain came in but I like the rain so I was able to keep a good pace and get back by David and take the win,” said Sloan.

STI's Mike Sloan finished 3rd overall & claimed his 6th straight win to remain undefeated in the Pro-Am Class for 2015, which extends his points lead to 34 points

Alex Ortiz had a good weekend and came on strong despite the rain that moved in. Ortiz was riding smooth and consistent and held down the number three spot for several laps before taking over second. Once in second, Ortiz began to close in on the leader, Mike Sloan but ran out of time before he was able to get close enough to make a move and finished in second place.

LSR Racing’s David Flores was in second off the start and immediately started to challenge mike Sloan for the lead. Flores got by and started pulling away, but the rain moved in and he began to have issues and fell back for a third place finish. “We were battling hard the first lap and I took the lead for about three laps. As soon as the rain moved in, it was really cold and it cooled me off too fast and I started having issues out there. I ended up finishing in third, but I am really happy that I finished,” said Flores.

Pro Motorsports’ Matt Hancock was in third off the start but in the third corner, Hancock was hit from behind and the two quads got stuck together, sending Hancock to the back of the pack. “I had a great start and someone came into me and we got hooked up. It took a while to separate us and I was dead last. I got back on though and just put my head down and pushed hard. Some of the slower traffic was tough to deal with and, I was pretty bummed because I was ready for this race, but I was able to get back up to fourth,” said Hancock, who is still in second in points despite the setback.
