The Modified Kart race saw some great battles between the up and coming youth of the sport. Talan Martin battled with ten of his closest competitors to come out and sweep the weekend. Dane Culver took second on the podium in Saturday’s round 2. Ashton Williams collected that spot in Sunday’s round 3.

Johnny Holtger found the speed he needed with a battle in Pro-Lite, bringing home a Round 2 victory. Connor Barry fell short one spot finishing second. Barry wasn’t done yet, in Sunday’s Round 3, he answered back with a win swapping spots with Holtger. Kyle Knott came away with a pair of third place finishes.
The mini stock class consists of literally stock trucks that have been gutted and caged with minimal safety requirements including a fuel cell and window nets.
