Forward Direction Motorsports 100cc Senior Saturday Report
Liam Letzsch (CBM / EOS) stole the show in qualifying for Forward Di-
rection Motorsports Senior 100cc, edging Blake Nash (Nash / EOS) for the pole by just 0.072 seconds. Nash took the lead from Letzsch midway through the Prefinal however, and looked to have things handled on the final circuit, but Blake left the door open in the final corner and Letzsch seized the opportunity to take the win and maintain his pole position for the Main. In the Final, Letzsch and Nash again pulled away to make it a two-driver fight, with Nash leading the final laps. On the last circuit, Letzsch made his move in the turn eight hairpin but Nash fought back in Daytona at the end of the backstraight and retook the lead. From there, Letzsch could not mount a challenge as Nash scored a 0.106-second victory. The fight for third was equally as exciting with Jensen Altzman (Ruthless / Exprit), Kyriakos Sioukas (AKR / EOS), and Hallie Schroeder (Syntech / Tony Kart) running nose-to-tail all race. Sioukas moved to third at one point, but Altzman retook third in the late going and held on for the final step on the podium. Sioukas and Schroeder capped the top five.
