The third round of the NGPC was out at Glen Helen Raceway. The rain came early in the day but stopped once the race started. Dare DeMartile got off to a good start and battled the muddy conditions. The team anticipated the same conditions and track that were presented in practice and made a tire selection based on that. However, the course changed from practice to the race day and the mud tire chosen for the race ended up being sub-optimal due to the number of concrete sections on the layout. Ultimately, Dare would finish in sixth place on the day but still remains second in the season-long points chase.
Results:
Dare DeMartile » 6th Place » Pro Class
Factory 480 RR
“I had a decent start. The conditions were really muddy. Unfortunately, the organizers changed the track from practice to race day and I ran a mud tire that got destroyed on a lot of concrete. That resulted in a sixth-place finish. I did what I could and I’m happy to get this round over with and still be second in points! Looking forward to the next race.”
