MICAH HENDRICKS ALEX SIRAGUSA Forward Direction Motorsports 100cc Senior Saturday Report The Senior 100cc Final for Round Three brought great drama to open up the day’s action. The track was still wet and four drivers in the field gambled with wet tires while the rest went out on dry Bridgestone com- pounds. Jackson Dunn (FDM / CompKart) jumped out to the lead with rain tires, and established a solid lead. Those on the dry tires struggled for the first five circuits until the track surface provided the opportunity for the pace to increase while those with rain tires were hanging on. Eddie Shimmon (GFV) held his ground with the wet tire drivers on his slicks, and by lap six began to reel in three drivers ahead of him on wet tires. It took him until lap 14 to catch and pass Dunn for the lead, meanwhile, championship leader Oliver Calvo (LEM / Praga) was advancing his way from 10th at the start and closing in on the top two. Dunn and Shimmon fighting allowed Calvo to close up right on them, and on lap 15 take the lead. Micah Hendricks (Aluminos) and Alex Siragusa (FW / CompKart) joined the fight in the final laps. A wild last few corners saw Calvo emerge as the victor, earning a third straight. Hendricks took advantage of con- tact between Siragusa and Shimmon to claim second. Siragusa crossed the line in third with Shimmon fourth. Dunn was able to hold on to fifth, first driver with rain tires on.
