Eastman Racing Dispatches Bike Challengers For Bike/Sled Sweep

Shane Bingel In what can be considered one of the wettest racing seasons in recent history, the weather Gods gave us a break and blessed the ESTA faithful with a beautiful day for racing. Read below for quick recaps of the racing action until Pete updates with his full class recount.

Super Pro
With nearly identical reaction times, Brett VanBrocklin lost a heartbreaker to Billy Caprara with a .004-too fast 7.806 run in their final round showdown.

Pro
Mike LaRose took it one step further than his Super Pro semifinal finish and slapped a perfect .500 light on Steve Doss and scored the Pro class win. Doss was right there with Mike, but his .003 too quick .497 red light sealed the deal for LaRose.
