KILPATRICK
SUPERMINI 1 (12-15)
would go on to take the win, with Jack Chambers bringing home the second place ride, and Crockett Myers, moving from fifth to third by moto’s end. For the second division, it was the Jett Reynolds show. “Everyone gather around, bring your tickets and chairs” the announcer would shout over the inter- com. All who were in close proximity, knew that Reyn- olds could walk away, with the right circumstances. And although Kaeden Amerine put up a fight early on, it was actually Nate Thrasher who would move into second, and give Jett a bit of a battle for the lead. Nevertheless, the number 79 would prevail, taking the checkered flag, with Nate Thrasher following suit, and Kaeden Amerine, third. It was now time for all of the talk and chatter to be settled, and the main event to come to life. Reynolds really wanted to establish
a lead in the early going of this moto, blitzing out to a three-second gap to end lap number one. Trying his best to replicate the old antics of Jeremy McGrath, he would throw down the fastest lap
of the moto on lap two, in attempt to establish a little bit of leg room over the com- petition. It would work as
the gap over Matt LeBlanc, riding stellar as always, would continue to increase, despite the best effort of the Louisiana tiger. Parker Earl, chugging along in third, was riding exceptional, trying his best to hold on the charge
of Nate Thrasher. He would do so, but Reynolds would do his typical victory dance once across the line. The championship was his, with LeBlanc and Thrasher taking second and third overall.
