14 Trail Rider As if the condi ons were not challenging enough, several brave and talented compe tors soldiered through the muck on diminu ve 100cc class machines. The top three in the Vintage 100 Intermediate class were all running remarkably similar, and consistent lap mes with the Yamaha MX100 of Craig Lowery ul mately coming out on top of the dueling Hodakas of Sco Danner and Paul Thomas. Even more impressive was the top-ten overall performance by the ul mate 100cc warrior Kyle Warner, winner of the Vintage 100 Expert class. James Breitegan would jump to the early lead in Vintage 60+ Intermediate ac on, but series veteran Glenn Hershey would con n- ually chip away at the lead un l pu ng his Can-Am in front for good on lap two. Mick Spisak (Husqvarna), Dave McIntyre (Honda), and Fred Walker (Yamaha) would make up the top five. Race Two (Post Vintage) Although star ng from row two, Post Vintage 200 Expert class winner Lee Hickok would take out the best the AA class, and 66 other riders, had to offer by taking the top spot overall. AA rider Logan Holley would take the over- all lead from John Ashcra on lap two but couldn't hold off the charging Hickok who took over for laps three and four. Holley held on for second, with Post Vintage 200 Expert runner-up Rylin Pacella also making his way past Ashcra into third. Ashcra hung on for fourth with the rest of the AA pack hot on his heels with Mike Blackwell and holeshot ar st Steve Bowman not far behind. The remainder of the Post Vintage 200 Experts were not going to let Hickok and Pacella get all the glory, as the top-five in class all wound up within the overall top-ten. Dane Brownawell, slinging mud on his Yamaha YZ125, took the third spot in class, fol- lowed by Josh Zerance (riding his vintage-eligible Can-Am!) and IT200 pilot Chris an Brumbaugh. Robert McNeel broke the PV 200/AA strangle- hold on the top-ten by placing eighth and taking home the Post Vintage 60+ Expert class win. John Zellam and his shiny new black stripe tried his best to keep McNeel in sight, but it was all he could do to hold off the constant challenge of third-place finisher Jack Petrilla, who was seldom further than 20 seconds in arrears of John. Top intermediate John Brant took 12 th overall and led a strong con ngent of 11 Post Vintage 50+ In- termediates. Vince Monk held the lead early but would succumb to Brant's charge on lap three. Monk held on for the runner-up over third-place Harold Silbaugh, making a strong return to the series a er si ng out all of 2020. Jim Laird kept the thro le pinned on his YZ125 as he led wire- to-wire to take the Historic 200 Intermediate checkers ahead of Josh Folmar's Suzuki 185.
