In the first heat Soares and Ripslinger went at it right from the drop of the green with the two swapping the lead a couple of times until Ripslinger spun and would finish 11th. Soares went onto the win ahead of Bell with Andrea Delfanti 3rd. In the second heat, Ripslinger took the win when Soares fell back early on with Bell right on his heels and Delfanti taking another 3rd. In the Main, the front row was now STOCK HONDA MASTERS Bell and Delfanti with Delfanti taking the lead at the drop of the green and the battle was on. Soares and Ripslinger worked their way up to 2nd and 3rd early on. Delfanti's kart then lost power and he eventually dropped back to 6th. Geoff Wise then got by Rotax SBell to take over the 3rd spot late in the race. After a tough race it was Soares taking the win two seconds ahead of Ripslinger and by doing so becoming the only repeat winner in this class this season. Wise came home 3rd, Bell 4th and Mary Beth Wilson in 5th. 80 Masters and DD2 Masters A lone DD2 Masters driver joined in with seven 80 Honda Masters drivers for the day. In Qualifying, Geoff Provo took the pole ahead of Bob Lesnett and Roger Cornwall. In the first heat, Lesnett got by Provo to take a one second win with Tom Nelson coming home 3rd. In the second heat, again Lesnett took the early lead but Nelson got by Provo to take 2nd less than a second back of the winner, Provo finishing 3rd. In the Main, it was Lesnett leading Provo for the initial laps with Nelson and Cornwall in a good battle for 3rd. Provo then got right on the bumper of the leader and inadvertently nudged Lesnett going into a turn and the two spun and stalled their karts. This allowed Nelson to go into the lead with Cornwall close behind. The leading duo ran close the whole race with Cornwall getting right on the tail of Nelson going into the last lap but he did not see an opening to make a clean pass and settled for 2nd. Nelson took the win, Cornwall 2nd, Rob Mullaney 3rd , Lesnett and Provo coming home 4th and 5th and the lone DD2 Masters of David Palic coming home 6th. You can see all the results on mylaps. com.
