Reno also featured the return of the Pro Open class, where Kyle Bennett reigned supreme. Kyle took the win both days, consequently winning three of the four overalls for the weekend between AA and Pro Open.
If Reno is any indication, the 2006 ABA Pro Series is going to be very exciting. The next ABA Pro Series Race will be January 20-22 at the Gator Nationals in Oldsmar, Florida.

On the track the racing was a treat for the spectators. Other than Mike Brabant’s domination of A Pro, the other Pro classes featured different winners each day. Women Pro was won by Arielle Martin on Saturday, while Kim Hayashi took the win on Sunday. Darrin Mitchell took the Saturday Vet Pro win, with Todd Parry on the top spot for Sunday. AA Pro was dominated by Bubba Harris on Saturday, however bad luck in the Semi on Sunday left Bubba looking from the grandstands while Kyle Bennett stole the show with the big win with Nate Berkheimer coming in a strong second.
