Kittock now has a pair of second place finishes in the series and his consistency
has placed him at the top of the AA points standings, two points up on Ferderer
and eight up on the equally consistent Swenson, who has a pair of thirds to start
the summer.
Hoosier tire-equipped racers captured three of the top five positions in the AA
race and six of the top 10 spots overall. Hoosier paid over $2,500 in contingency at
Meadow Valley, dispersed among the A, B, C and Youth classes. In total, Ferderer
picked up $1,000 for his efforts, with Kittock claiming $600 for the runner up spot.
The A class overall featured a battle of two of the best young riders in the Mid-
west, with 14 year-old Troy Horbaty making a last corner pass on Jayme French
to get the advantage. For Horbaty, it was his first series win in 200 A after rapidly
advancing through the Junior and B ranks. French did get the win in 250 A and is
now tied for the lead in that division with round one winner Jeremy Schmidt.
Meadow Valley features a heavy clay base and rocky, technical woods, which
