Three Aces for Evan Christian at Historic Deadwood
Posted by KC Motorsports on Jan 24th 2018
Our friends at KC Motorsports had an excellent weekend at the snocross races in Deadwood, South Dakota. Here is their recap:
Finley,
ND (January 23, 2018) - Evan Christian turned in a performance that has rarely been seen
on the National Snocross Tour, winning three main events in one weekend. A
change in the race day schedule meant Christian could race his Junior classes
and the Sport Lite class on both Friday and Saturday, giving him the
opportunity to compete in four class finals.
Christian swept both Sport Lite feature races and won the Junior 14-15 class,
while also taking over the point lead in that division.
Not to be overshadowed was teammate Jay Lura, who has been on a tear in the
Sport class as of late. Lura just missed getting on the box on Friday, with a
fourth place finish. He came back swinging on Saturday and despite one rough
heat race, finished third in the final. Most importantly, Lura's consistent
performance took a chunk out of the series point leader's margin and he now
sits just four points out of the top spot.
The national tour has a three week break coming up, but will be back in action
for rounds nine and ten in Salamanca, New York on February 16-17.
Deadwood has become one of the most popular races on the tour with a full grandstand during both nights of racing.
Evan Christian was quick off the line all weekend, avoiding the chaos that often ensues in the first turn of the Days of '76 bullring.
Lura and mechanic Jeff Torgerson have been on the podium at least one time every weekend this season.
