M2 Brandwear Masters 100cc Sunday Report
The championship in the M2 Masters 100cc class was still up in the air with Mike Smith (VMI / EOS) and Timothy Meyer (HRT / EOS) fighting it out. Carlos Calderon (Aluminos) took the five bonus points from both in qualifying, but the heated Prefinal saw just about everyone make contact, including Calderon, Smith, Meyer and Ian Koentges (FDM / CompKart). Meyer was the driver to cross the line first, but after the penalties were handed out, Koentges was named the winner and started on the pole position with Calderon back to fourth behind Smith and Meyer. The action continued into the main event with Calderon attempting a pass on Meyer at the inner hairpin. The two made contact and both went off track, taking each other out of the race. Koentges led for the first half of the race until Smith was able to take control. From there, Smith drove on to earn his first victory of the season, and secure the championship. Brian Phillipsen (MMK / Redspeed) drove to third with Dana Estes (RPM / Tony Kart) fourth and Preston Newberry (FDM / CompKart) in fifth.
