"The Road to Egypt"

  
 
What a spectacular racing weekend.  From the time they arrived at the NTK facilities in Denton Texas, Race Director Marshal Martin kept the event on time like a well oiled clock every day.   With qualifying on Friday, and a seemingly endless set of heat races on Saturday, the show was conclude on Sunday with Last Chance Qualifier races, Pre-Final Races all leading up to the Final.
 
The Rotax Juniors were the first class up for the afternoon finals.  David Holland was on top of the order with Hayden Duerson alongside.  Jonathon Beason had high expectations coming in after winning the top Jr Driver title a month earlier, as the Formula 80Jr Champion of the SKUSA ProMoto series.

33 Junior Drivers entered the track, but Jordan Blisset had to retire on the pace lap due to mechanical problems.   The remaining 32 drivers took the green and put on an awesome battle throughout the pack.

Justin Melton came from the fifth position to win and take his place on the road to Egypt.
