RACE THREE ( DISC BRAKE )
John Ashcraft is the man to beat when he is aboard his mighty CR500 . Once again , he dominated the AA class besting Ethan Waddell ( Yamaha ) and Mike Blackwell ( Kawasaki ). Roy Miller spent the race being badgered by pressure from Mark Hummell before finally placing some breathing room between them on the last lap to make the Early Modern Open Expert victory a bit more convincing . Brian Schwein would follow closely behind on his YZ250 for third .
The Pre-2K 200 Intermediate class is becoming a hot bed for ultra-competitive battles . Dave Light , Joey Spayd II , and Anthony Lowery did their best to live up to that expectation with multiple lead changes . The young guns Lowery ( Yamaha ) and Spayd ( Suzuki ) would push their way to the front to finish one-two with the elder-statesman Light rounding out the top-three on his KTM . Under the tutelage of his mentor , and Women ’ s Vintage Intermediate victor , Jenn Smith , Mason Swan ripped the holeshot on his Yamaha RT180 and led lap one before ultimately finishing a strong third behind winner Brandon Rowe and runner-up Al Linville in Pre- Modern 200 Novice action .
