Jeff ran it out to post a 7.137 second, 188.28 mph lap for the win. Moments earlier, it was Jake with a stellar .005 second reaction time and a run of 8.063, 152.80 for his first win in the Sportsman Motorcycle Series presented by Harley-Davidson. Jake, Edmonds, Wash., knocked out Don DePeel, Gladstone, Ore., who was looking for his first career win.

Wargnier, Keizer, Ore., put his ’08 GTO in the winner’s circle running 7.673 at 180.07 mph when Jake Neibauer, Billings, Mont., broke out in his ’63 Corvette.
