Friday's race action from the biggest Amateur MX event

August 5, 2017

Gone. That’s what Zane Merrett was in moto 3 of the 450B Limited. His lead was up to 8 seconds at the end of the first lap and 23 seconds at the end of the moto. Zane finished 2nd overall to Ezra Hastings in the championship.Jacob Souder

Korie Steede, against some heavy hitters in her class, got out front early in the Girls 11-16 and checked out. Korie finished 3rd overall. Tayler Allred won the title.Jacob Souder

Mike Brown marches away as the rain begins to pour late in moto 3 of the Senior +40 moto. On his factory Husqvarna machine Brown is unbeaten in multiple classes this week.Jacob Souder

Justin Cooper navigates a rough roller into “story land” on his way to a 3rd moto 250A victory and the 2017 title. Husqvarna’s Jordan Bailey took 2nd in the division.Jacob Souder

Like he has done most of the week. Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Garrett Marchabanks got out front and stole the show. His 2-1-1 gave him the title over teammate Seth Hammaker, who won silver.Jacob Souder

Keep an eye on this kid. Factory Cobra backed Drew Adams from Chattanooga, TN won all 3 motos against some fast company. Despite his age, he rides with an intensity and aggressiveness that is fun to watch.Jacob Souder

That is the face of a newly crowned national champion! Roxyn Rinehart went 1-1-2 for the gold in 51cc 4-6 Special Limited. Moto 3 winner Aiden Biersteker had a great race but bad finishes in the previous motos put him out of championship contention.Jacob Souder

In the Vet 30+ class Taylor Painter piloted his TAPT House, Moto Mods backed KX450F to a championship.Jacob Souder

Finally getting the start and a little luck Jake Masterpool found himself comfortably running up front in the Open Pro Sport where we expected him all week. Unfortunately, in the closing laps, in a tight deep rut Jake fell over and became stuck under the bike. Unable to free himself he dropped back to 7th position. The title in the class went to Justin Cooper.Jacob Souder

Making several passes and coming through the pack for the win in Open Pro Sport moto 3 was Husqvarna’s Jordan Bailey.Jacob Souder
