Greene led the restart with Nick Long, Davis, Cory Saxton and Allen Scurry in the top five behind him. In the remaining laps the field spread behind him. Long was 1.566-seconds late.“I was worried these lapped karts were kind of hard to get around,” Greene said during his second visit to victory lane. “We had a crappy kart all day, but we finally got it going and we brought home the win.”
A Junior 1 Purple Plate B Main was also raced. Wells won that race taking the final flag 0.832-seconds ahead of Matthew Boyd. Lane and Cory Marsh followed in third and fourth. David Bradshaw completed the top five of B Main racers.
Wilson Keene captured both Junior 3 Gold checkered flags from their poles with perfection. Lap times of 14.544 and 14.413-seconds earned him those poles. In the first he beat John Bryan Nall to the stripe by 1.199-seconds. “It was a pretty good race. I just had to deal with lapped traffic,” described the 15-year-old Abbeville, Ga based double winner. “The kart handled pretty good, it was a little loose, but we can get it tightened up for the next one. Tim Fishel’s motor was awesome, it was a brand new one and it was about the best one yet.” Levon Bennett, Jay Gnann and C.J. Leary completed the top five.
In the second feature several mid-race cautions almost changed the story. Keene had two huge leads evaporate. He also had Gnann threatening from behind each time. “I was running pretty good and then the cautions came out,” Keene explained. “The Ultramax Kart handled great. It was a little loose, but we’ll get it right. Tim Fishel’s motor was great, it was a new one and it’s the best one yet.” This time Jack Speshock, Nall and Leary filled the podium.
Chris Evans chased PEC Racing Engines powered Rage Kart pilot Ricky Bohatka across the Senior Champ Kart stripes. Saturday Zach Holcombe clocked the classes’ fastest qualifying lap in 14.874-seconds. Bohataka’s best effort of 15.082-seconds earned him the other front row starting position. Holcombe hustled into the early lead with Jessica Maloney challenging him. On lap two she muscled her way by him for the lead bringing Bohataka with her.
Near half way Bohataka battled by Maloney for the lead. Evans came with him dropping Maloney to third. Behind her in the top five were Brittany Yates and Zach Holcombe.
“I just got a good pass coming into turn two and just took off from there,” said the 19-year-old Lutz, Fl native. “The kart handled pretty good, tires were good and the motor was good. I want to thank my mom and dad, my girlfriend, my sister, David for the motor and me for doing my tires.”
