Mini Sr 2 (13-16)

Starting the day off with a holeshot was Enrique Rodriguez, who ran out front early before being hunted down by Krayvin Erl But the real story was happening way back in the pack.

It was Joey Vicari’s championship to lose, and off the start, things got interesting in a hurry. Vicari was buried in the pack and credited with P16, giving him a whole lot of work to do. And then he went to work.

Vicari started clicking off passes seemingly everywhere, making 15 passes in just three laps to claw his way all the way to the front. Once he got there, it was game over. Vicari checked out and stretched the lead to more than 15 seconds on his way to the win and the championship.

While Vicari was carving through the field, Dylan Graham had some work of his own to do. Graham made up two positions on the final lap to cross the line in P3, salvaging third overall in the championship.

Max Daniels would best Graham for P2 on the day and lock down second overall.

Max Daniels
Dylan Graham

Schoolboy 1 (12-17) B/C

When the gate dropped, Christian Humphrey got off to a clean start and was probably grateful for that clean air, because behind him, the overall standings were bouncing around like a pinball machine chasing a high score.

While Humphrey stayed comfortably out of the chaos, Sawyer Geick worked his way into second, while Gauge Brown went on an absolute charge through the field, making 22 passes to climb all the way to P3.

Maddox Temmerman was in the mix up front late in the race and giving Geick a run for his money, but a last-lap crash dropped him back to fourth. Chase Moynihan would round out the top five.

Riley Busse grabbed the holeshot, but Landon Gibson, aboard his brand-new Triumph Factory Racing machine, wasted little time making a move and giving us our first real look at what he’s capable of on his new ride.

Behind Gibson, things got wild. Max Shane quickly overtook Busse before Kane Bollasina launched a monster move of his own to take the position away.

Gibson would go on to take the win aboard his new Triumph, but Tristan Prueitt made sure he was part of the story. In his first Open Pro race, Prueitt started all the way back in P18 and charged through the field to finish third, making 15 passes along the way and dropping the fastest lap of the entire moto.

Schoolboy 2 (12-17)

Darren Pine might need to go ahead and register the trademark for “Pine Time,” because anytime he gets a clean start, he seems to set the cruise control and disappear.

Pine did exactly that in this one, getting out front and laying down the fastest lap of the moto on his way to the win.

Behind him, Reis Seeba held down second for most of the moto before a heartbreaking get-off late opened the door for Gauge Brown. Brown put together another impressive ride aboard the 125, working his way into P2 at the finish and securing third overall.

Aiden Baily would cross the line in P3, which was enough to lock down second overall.

Pine Time strikes again.

Reis Seeba got the early lead looking to redeem himself after a heartbreaking Schoolboy 2 Moto 2 earlier in the day.

Early in the race, the running order had Seeba out front, Colt Martin in second and McKayden Fitch in third. About halfway through the moto, Martin would go down, and suddenly the championship battle between Seeba and Fitch was on.

Whoever crossed the checkers first between the two looked to be walking away with the championship.

Fitch went to work and made the move around the outside of Seeba. As they ran toward the checkers, the points between the two would end in a tie, with Fitch holding the advantage thanks to the better Moto 2 finish.

It looked like the championship was wrapped up.

Then Braxtyn Mes changed everything.

Mes slid his way into P4 in Moto 2, and suddenly the championship math flipped. When the points were tallied, it was Mes who had done enough to steal the championship away from both of them.

Tristan Prueitt got out to an early lead and immediately started clicking off laps, building a significant gap over second in what looked like it was shaping up to be a dominant moto.

Landon Gibson had other plans.

Gibson came charging from deep in the pack, making 12 passes and dropping the fastes lap of the moto while he reeled Prueitt back in. With one lap to go, Gibson finally tracked him down and sniped away the lead, then put a little exclamation point on the comeback with a no-footer over the finish line.
