Good morning from day 69 here in the great state of Florida. As we approach the final day of racing let’s catch you up to speed on everything you missed while you were shopping your face off.

Deegs Goes Down

Schoolboy 2 hit the track late in the afternoon and wow was it worth the wait! Ben (Zombie) Garib was back at it grabbing the holeshot ahead of Gage Linville and Haiden Deegan right in tow. Deegan would make the move quickly and get into the lead and set sail until disaster stuck late in the moto as he got ejected off the bike after hitting a hole on the backside of the anthill. He would get up under his own power and will be a game time decision for the final day of racing. Linville would cruise it in for the moto win followed by Garib and Noah Stevens. Ben Garib would be crowned your champion and man are we here for it.

Romano is Champ

Nick Romano and Chance Hymas started 1-2 and would immediately start clicking off some really fast laps to separate from the pack. Romano would eventually do the same to Hymas after the two of them went toe to toe, matching lap times for 8 of the 11 laps. Brandon Scharer would have to battle with the kids but the age and wisdom that comes along with it would reign supreme.

Denno v. Johnson v. Richards v. Dennis

In 85 (9-13) we had quite a battle to look forward to, unfortunately for us Canyon Richards would go down off the start blowing up his front wheel and still went out there and shredded for a 9th. Fret not, Richards captured a title earlier in the day in 85cc (12-13) Limited. Deacon Denno and Seth Dennis started 1-2 with Cole Blecha up there as well. Denno would get around Dennis on lap 2 and never looked back taking the win and 2nd overall. Dennis would come through in 3rd after Kade Johnson put in a hell of a ride to catch him on the last lap. Johnson would be crowned champion!

Janik Goes!

All eyes were on Supermini 1 as Krystian Janink, Jude Smerlick, Will Canaguier, Tiger Wood, Tyler Mollet and co took to the track. Smerlick grabbed a FAT holeshot and started to set sail until a flat tire would bring his moto to an end before it even got started. Krystian Janik would make the pass for the lead at that point and never look back. Will Canaguier was the surprise of the class thus far this week getting 2nd in the moto ahead of Wood. Canaguier ran the 2nd fastest lap, only .160 off of Janik.

We met Jeff sleeping in a tent down the street from Loretta Lynn's... with his computer. At that point, we knew he would fit in with us. Then, he then drank all the white claw flavors none of us liked, and that's when we knew it was meant to be. Jeff officially became part of the crew.
We're terrible at asking questions, so we're not exactly sure what Jeff does for a living, but he loves petting his cats and dog, growing his beard, and living in a cornfield in Michigan. Jeff also likes to wear cycling glasses while driving his car and using his cameras. We like Jeff.
