A great day of racing turned out some top talent from as far away as Arkansas and Missouri. Felicia Stancil handily dispensed with the girls class competition. The guys, were a little more contentious with a battle between Tommy Zula and Olijuwon Davis. Tommy won the FPC last year, where OD never really got the chance to challenge, as he unclipped in the gate.
In this year’s main, Zula was in lane one, Suited up in the snappy new 2010 DK colors, and Davis rockin the Morphine Black and Pink as his neighbor in lane two. The bets were down and so was the gate. Zula got a fairly healthy holeshot, and the pack made it through the often-treacherous first turn. Zula zoomed into and out of turn two, with Davis a bike or two back. Turn three would spell the end of Tommy’s hopes for a repeat, as his backwheel broke loose and he spun into the ground. OD was close enough that he almost ran Tommy over, but avoided the undoing and went the rest of the way for the win.
Erin “Too Sweet” Moore would have won the distance award, had there been one, making her sixth FPC, all the way from Arkansas. Instead, she raced well and ended up in the two slot behind Felicia. Demetrius Reynolds scooted in for second on the guys side.
Last year’s winner, Savannah Lahr, was in Addison colors, and rounded out the podium in third. Tony Call looked really solid all day long, and some felt he was way in contention for the top spot.
