Point leader and two time race winner this season Scott Riggleman started on pole for the 100 lap 6/8 Cylinder Enduro. Riggleman wasted little time powering to the point with Ed Fontana, Steve Tito, James Presley and Bill Schwenck in toe. Trouble plagued the 74 of Presley early on as he was forced to retire after only 7 laps. By lap 10, three time defending Mountain Madness Enduro Champion, T.J Kapish had worked his up from the 10th starting spot to find himself right behind Riggleman. Top 5 remained the same mostly with the 09 machine setting the pace, by halfway only himself and Kapish still remained on the lead lap. With smooth sailing ahead, Riggleman, division point leader, easily cruised to his 3rd Enduro win of the season. Kapish managed to stay on the lead lap and come home 2nd followed by Scott Sipe, Schwenck and Tito.
In his first start of the year Luke Collern started on pole for the 100 lap 4 cylinder event, but was quickly overtaken by 3rd place starter Larry Spencer III before a lap was complete. Spencer led the opening circuit over Sam Ryan, Tony Rispin, Collern and Tony Hilliard. By lap 14, ninth place starter Scott Adams had worked his way past Ryan for 2nd and began to set his sights on his teammate Spencer. In a fierce battle over the next ten laps, Adams worked his way around Spencer with Ryan, Rispin and Hilliard all still in the top five. Problems on lap 37 forced defending four cylinder champion Rispin to the pit area, which moved Harry Sager into the top 5 for the first time all afternoon. On lap 45, Ryan got by Spencer, who was battling hard with lap traffic, to take over the 2nd spot and try to reel in Adams. Adams proved to be too much in the closing laps and picked up his second Enduro win, and 16th overall victory this season at the track. Ryan was able to come home on the lead lap in second followed by division point leader, Spencer, Hilliard and Sager.
Brad Lowmaster started on pole for the 20 lap Legend car feature, and led the opening lap over William Byron, Brendon Bock, Kyle Soper and Vincent Troia. Business picked up on lap 5 when Lowmaster and Byron tangled while battling for the lead. That gave command to Bock who set the pace until Soper, using a bold move to the inside snuck past Bock on lap 14. The only yellow flag of the event waved on lap 17 when Chris Hammett lost control of his #6 car coming out of turn 4. That gave Bock one more shot at retaking the lead and on the restart, the 33 motored past the 4 of Soper and retook the top spot. Bock held off a hard charging Byron to pick up the victory. Lowmaster, Soper and Troia rounded out the top five. Kyle Soper and William Byron where the heat winners.
Riggleman Towing and Tito Juice teamed up to sponsor a pair of 15 lap ladies races. Cassandra Denis started on pole for the 6/8 cylinder portion and led the opening two circuits. Contact in turn two was made between Denis and Nancy Hills, which gave the race lead to Rachael Johnson. Johnson, who was piloting Bill Schwenck’s #13x, remained unshaken over the remaining 13 laps and cruised to her first career victory followed by Denis and Jessica Szoke.
Kate Biscontini started on pole for the 15 lap Four Cylinder portion, but was quickly over taken by Sue Ryan, who got by Biscontini as she slowed for a stopped Cassie Bauer. Ryan showed her experience and wore out the field over the remainder of the event. In a hard fought effort Biscontini impressed many, including boyfriend John Banashefski, came home second followed by Mel Carbe.
