Mees Wins Many
By Bobby Lewis

Jared Mees showed up tonight in Greenville and took five out of six wins back home to Michigan. Mees led the 450 Pros from the start and never looked back on his way to a convincing win. John Olmstead held second until a late race bobble allowed Aaron Ladd to claim the spot. Olmstead held on for third while Jason Goodwin moved past Nichole Cheza for fourth.

Mees turned another hole-shot into a win in the 505 Pro class and completely dominated the Pro division TT finals.

Goodwin nailed the start of the Open-Pro class and held firm to card the win. Mees and Ladd pressured from the next two positions while Vet winner Bill Gruwell held off Cheza and Olmstead for fourth.

Tony Lefever took the Open Amateur short track win with a start-to-finish run over TT winner Colby Chandler. Chaz Landers worked up from the back row to nail down third over Nathaniel Vowell and Kyle Kelly.

Stevie Nace swept the Mad Dog mains along with the Open Pro-Am class.

Spencer Shoff briefly led the Pro-Am short track before Nace moved to the front. Shoff put in a good ride to hold off Landers and Lefever for second.

Michael Johnson had to come through the field to take the 250 Amateur TT win but lead the short track from the start to sweep the class. Johnson also pulled the double wins in the 160cc 4-stroke class.

Nathaniel Vowell hole-shot the 200 Pro-am TT and held off the constant challenge from Hayden Gillim to take the narrow victory. Johnson and Jake Lewis were a close third and fourth with Nikki Spore, Chandler and Frankie Lee Gillim filling the order.

Lewis took off and split for the 200 Pro-Am oval win as Johnson moved into second from the penalty row. Vowell filled in third over Frankie Lee, Chandler, Hayden and Spore.

Lewis then went on a tear as he swept both short track and TT wins in the 65cc, 85cc, and 200cc Amateur classes.

Randy Blackwell held off Super Senior winner Kelly Klynstra and Ron Anderson to win the Senior class then added the Heavy Vintage win to his list.

Thomas Goodnick scored his first win of the series as he topped Luke Baird and shaft winner Robert Hall to claim the 50cc chain class.
