Springfield, OH
July 23

With a big crowd steaming into the Clark County Fairgrounds for two nights of “Fair-Cross”, the promoter team of Matt and Amy Eastman and their stellar  crew at American Motosports - put together a tidy little jump and whoop infested  course for the more than three-hundred eager competitors at this Central Ohio  event. Fairborn, Ohio’s Smith brothers, no strangers to the podiums of AMA  District Eleven, decided to make this a night of warm-up racing for Loretta  Lynn’s – as younger brother Kyle will  be competing in the ‘A’ classes at the AMA  Amateur National Championships in Tennessee, while older sibling Cory cheers him on.  On this night, both would compete against each other in the 250 pro class, where Kyle was just too much for older bro Cory, as he stormed quickly to the front aboard his  Yamaha. with Cory in tow all the way for second place. Cory’s turn for a win was  in the 16-24 class, as the semi-retired, yet still fast young man, spanked the field in  the “Collegeboy” division.
