Great ending to a tough main day at the 2017 Icebreaker! I had some really good runs going in Pro E-buggy but small mistakes cost me a top 3. Ended up finishing 4th overall. Truggy was a little too edgy in the main and I wasn't able to hang on lol! After a flameout I finished 5th. Next up was Pro Buggy. My XB8 felt AWESOME in warmup and I knew this was my race. I only had to be marshaled twice in 45 minutes! After leading from lap 13 to lap 90, and two flameouts in the pits, I was able to catch up to Tyler Hooks and take the win on the last lap!! Awesome race Tyler!!!
