This was the final: (← the race starts at 0:49) Considering the results of the previous edition, the winner has improved much! IMO it's fair to point out that Chareyre was having his first experiences with dirt track races: http://dtxbarcelona.com/nov-20-open-class-adds-french-ace-thomas-chareyre/?lang=en.
Yep it was clear that Marquez has been practicing. He won it clean fair and square. Bummer that Brad got hurt, he's a good kid and super free with advice (he comes down to the Salem indoor very often). Shayna had a lot of trouble, she couldn't get used to the twitchiness of the 17's, and her 95 pound tinyness doesn't often do well on short tracks.
Chareyre (either brother), I cant imagine had any disadvantage in this game at all. Its great that Marquez does this stuff, those guys used to be so tied up in their contracts before.
