1-2-3-4, no I’m not about to break into song, those are the moto finishes posted by Ryan Linto at GCR. The 1-2 earned him the overall in the 65cc class, while the 3-4 was good for the third step on the box in the 85cc 7-11 class. |

2-1 rides in both the Vet Master and 40+ classes earned Kim Houde another pair of overall victories this week. |

Westside Honda’s Adam Pfeiffer had another strong day at GCR in his pursuit of the number one plate in Manitoba. Pfeiffer took both motos in the 125 Pro class and in the process took over the points lead from gregscustom.com rider Nick Dunn. Pfeiffer also traded moto wins with Dunn in the 250 Pro class on his way to the overall. |

The 250 Intermediate class is likely to be the tightest battle for a Provincial title this fall. Devon Ward with a 2-1 ride took the overall and in the process wrestled the points lead away from second place rider Colin Cyr by a single point. |

Ryan Millar raced in Manitoba for the first time since late June and as usual his racing had plenty of folks talking. Millar claimed both 125 Intermediate motos but it was his performance in the Youth class that got tongues wagging. In the first Youth moto Millar put on a late moto charge to grab second spot from Jamie Kennedy. In moto two Millar got out front early on his 250F and was chased the entire moto by current #1 Pro plate holder Nick Dunn aboard his gregscustm.com RM-Z450. Dunn finally got Millar in the sand whoops one hundred yards from the checkered flag. |
