top-ten overall performance by the ultimate 100cc warrior Kyle Warner , winner of the Vintage 100 Expert class . James Breitegan would jump to the early lead in Vintage 60 + Intermediate action , but series veteran Glenn Hershey would continually chip away at the lead until putting his Can-Am in front for good on lap two . Mick Spisak ( Husqvarna ), Dave McIntyre ( Honda ), and Fred Walker ( Yamaha ) would make up the top five .
RACE TWO ( POST VINTAGE )
Although starting from row two , Post Vintage 200 Expert class winner Lee Hickok would take out the best the AA class , and 66 other riders , had to offer by taking the top spot overall . AA rider Logan Holley would take the overall lead from John Ashcraft on lap two but couldn ’ t hold off the charging Hickok who took over for laps three and four .
Holley held on for second , with Post Vintage 200 Expert runner-up Rylin Pacella also making his way past Ashcraft into third . Ashcraft hung on for fourth with the rest of the AA pack hot on his heels with Mike Blackwell and holeshot artist Steve Bowman not far behind .
The remainder of the Post Vintage 200 Experts were not going to let Hickok and Pacella get all the glory , as the top-five in class all wound up within the overall top-ten . Dane Brownawell , slinging mud on his
Yamaha YZ125 , took the third spot in class followed by Josh Zerance ( riding his vintage eligible Can- Am !) and IT200 pilot Christian Brumbaugh . Robert McNeel broke the PV 200 / AA stranglehold on the top-ten by placing eighth and taking home the Post Vintage 60 + Expert class win .
John Zellam and his shiny new black stripe tried his best to keep McNeel in sight , but it was all he could do to hold off the constant challenge of third place finisher Jack Petrilla who was seldom further than twenty seconds in arrears of John . Top intermediate John Brant took 12th overall and led a strong contingent of eleven Post Vintage 50 + Intermediates . Vince Monk held the lead early but would succumb to Brant ’ s charge on lap three . Monk held on for the runner-up over third place Harold Silbaugh making a strong return to the series after sitting out all of 2020 . Jim Laird kept the throttle pinned on his YZ125 as he led wire to wire to take the Historic 200 Intermediate checkers ahead of Josh Folmar ’ s Suzuki 185 .
RACE THREE ( DISC BRAKE )
Thirty-one riders lined up for the first ever “ Disc Brake ” race , a reasonably good turnout in its infancy . Expect this class to grow as word gets around . John Ashcraft did not let his lap one lead slip away this time as he laid down a dominating performance on his
