M2 Brandwear 100cc Saturday Report
CalSpeed’s Mike Smith (EOS) topped the charts in M2 Masters 100cc qualifying, outgunning Tim Meyer (HRT / Kosmic) for the top spot. Smith was out early in the Prefinal due to a broken rear bumper, and in his ab- sence, Meyer scored the win as he was chased by Brian Phillipsen (Red- speed). Smith had to start at the tail of the field for the main, and snagged three spots on the opening circuit to get to fifth. He then worked his way to Meyers and eventually took the lead for a lap, but Meyer came right back and reclaimed the point. Over the last few laps, Meyer was on fire, turning his quickest lap on lap 13, and Smith simply couldn’t mount the necessary challenge to fight for the win. Phillipsen closed back up in the late going, but had to settle for third, while Dana Estes (RPM / Tony Kart) and Jimmy Gregory (K&K) capped the top-five.
