Monster Energy Mountain Motorsports Yamaha rider Dustin Farthing was finally challenged this year during the third moto of the Pro-AM Runabout Open class with Claude Clayton getting a good jump out of the gate and holding the lead for several laps before the King was able to get by him to ride to the win and a first overall. Brian Baldwin got back into the swing of things on his Champion Powersports Sea-Doo and nailed down the second spot with the Dave's Auto Body Kawasaki of Eric Francis closing out the top three. In the Ski GP class we had a battle of the energy drinks as Chris MacClugage rode well with a moto 2 win and a second in moto 3 to put his Monster Energy Macc Racing #30 on the top step of the podium. Rob Flores improved his finishing position in all three motos on his Rockstar Energy Raceski.com boat to tally a second overall and David Redinger got his Kommander Industries Blowsion machine back in the top three with consistent riding that helped keep his national championship hopes alive. The Pro-Am Runabout Stock class gave us some of the best racing of the day with Troy Snyder pulling a hole shot in both the last two motos on his Snyder Built Riva Racing Sea-Doo. Chris MacClugage patiently stalked him and was able to pass him cleanly in both motos on his Monster Energy Hydro-Turf Sea-Doo for the overall win. Snyder kept a firm hold on the 2nd spot and Erminio Iantosca worked his way through the pack on his Redbull Riva Racing Sea-Doo for the final spot on the podium. It was a great local turnout for the Pro Freestyle with Mike Widdes taking the win and a great showing from Gary Burtka, Mike Hoffman, Joe Eckert and Greg Brock.
