The other Pro classes featured different winners each day. Women Pro was won by Redline’s KIMBERLY HAYASHI on Saturday, while FLY Racings KRYSTAL HIME took the big win on Sunday. Answer’s CHRIS HAM brought home the wins Texas stile by winning both days in the stacked Vet Pro class. AA Pro was dominated by Redline’s BUBBA HARRIS on Saturday and a solid second on Sunday to back it up. The big news coming out of the Pro racing in Florida was Haro’s new pick at the beginning of 2006. DEREK BETCHER showed everyone in Florida he is the “REAL DEAL” by taking home his first big AA Pro win. Derek is the only AA Pro this season to make all his mains and doesn’t seem to be slowing. Big congrats to Derek on his first AA Pro win.
Sidebar on the weekend was ABA Pro Title contender, Kyle Bennett, was injured in a crash in Pro practice. ABA wanted to wish Kyle a quick recovery and I’m sure we’ll see him back there very soon.
If Oldsmar, Florida is any indication, the 2006 ABA Pro Series is going to be very exciting. Check out ababmx.com for the current ABA Pro Points. The next ABA Pro Series Race will be February 3-5 at the Sooner Nationals in Guthrie, Oklahoma.
