As the gate dropped for the first Pro moto, Joe Haavisto appeared to be first in line to claim the holeshot, but Michael Pilotte, Danny Lewis, and Myles Santaniello edged him out. Haavisto had to settle for 4th off the line, but he soon began working his way up. “I was in about 4th place, but I worked myself up to the lead by the 3rd lap,” said Haavisto, who once in the lead, kept increasing the distance between himself and the rest of the pack. Michael Pilotte ran a very impressive race for the entire moto, holding off the competition all the way to the finish line. Joe Haavisto went on to take the win in moto 1 with Michael Pilotte in 2nd and Danny Lewis in 3rd.
Moto number 2 was like déjà vu for Kawasaki's Haavisto, as he once again took 4th in the holeshot. Michael Pilotte was once again in the lead, followed by Tommy Mofford and Myles Santaniello. The #75 Kawasaki KFX450R of Haavisto once again began to work through traffic, taking over the lead after just a couple of laps. When they reached the checkered flag, Joe Haavisto once again took the win, earning him 1st place overall. Michael Pilotte’s 2-2 finishes earned him a solid 2nd and Myles Santaniello’s 4-4 consistency was enough to land him in 3rd. Tommy Mofford took a 6-3 finish with 4th overall and Michael Brown’s 5-6 finish rounded out the top 5 for the Open Pro class.
