Pros from all over America, as well as Colombia, Brazil, and Latvia converged for a hugely successful autograph signing, and then the big action began at 5pm! The Free Agent/Rockstar ride of Maris Strombergs powered to a big win in the main event over Josh Meyers and Holland’s Robert de Wilde. Defending Elite Women champ, Dominique Daniels again showed why she has that number one on her back as she pulled away from MCS’ Amanda Geving and rookie Pro, GT’s Alaina Henderson. In Super-Ex racing, CJ McGuire showed once again that he is the man to beat while fellow Floridian, Percy Owens, took a hard-fought Masters win over Carolina local, Will Murray, and GT’s Joey Albright.
