Pro Open: Strong Rebound for Martin
Martin arrived in New York as the Pro Open points leader, but he had an off night on Friday and finished 15th in the weekend’s first final, which cost him the points lead. On Saturday, he won both of his qualifiers, then ran smoothly in the final before making a pass for the lead on lap 13 and running away with the victory.
Polaris racer Bobby LePage (Team LaVallee) finished fourth in Pro Open on Friday, followed by Johan Lidman (Carlson Motorsports) in fifth, and native New Yorker Brett Bender (Hentges Racing) in 11th. Bender came back to finish eighth on Saturday, while LePage was 11th and Lidman was 12th.
Martin is currently second in points and just two points out of the lead. Lidman is 11th in points, Bender is 12th, TJ Gulla (Hentges Racing) is 13th, and Mike Bauer (Judnick Motorsports) is 14th.
Pro Lite: Kamm Remains Dominant
Kody Kamm, the most consistently outstanding racer on the ISOC circuit this winter, swept the weekend’s Pro Lite finals and was joined by fellow Polaris racers on the podium both days. While Kamm won on Friday, Colby Crapo (Leighton Motorsports) finished second, Jake Scott (Team LaVallee) of Port Jefferson, New York, was fourth, Andrew Lieders (Lieders Racing) was eighth, Brett Nastala (Redline Racing) was ninth and James Johnstad (Judnick Motorsports) was 10th.
