On Victory Lane at Greenwood Valley.

Some fine racing warmed up a chilly May night at The Greenwood Valley Action Track on Saturday. Sean Good, Middleburg out ran his bad luck and picked up a Feature win in the Regular Micro Sprint 270cc final.

Chasing Good was Skeetz Hockenbrock, Paxinos, who came close to passing the leader several times but had to be satisfied with second. In the third spot was Joel VanBuskirk, Selinsgrove, who finished right on the Hockenbrock nerf bar. Fourth was Jason Rice, New Tripoli, Fifth place went to Jeff Furlong, Selinsgrove, Sixth to Brayden Winters, Easton, and seventh to Pat Bealer, Seemsville, and in eighth was A. J. Walters, Bloomsburg. Ninth and tenth were Nick Wean and Colby Womer, Mt. Pleasant Mills.
