Ohio County Fairs Motocross Championship Series - Round 8
Hilliard OH 
JULY 17

Kyle Preston swarmed around at this Columbus area fair track all night long, trying to reel in the very - fast fair race regular Tony "The Tiger" Robinson and was half successful. Preston was able to get around Robinson by charging through the whoops and holding on the gas to take the win in the 250 money class. Robinson would eventually fall to third behind the charging Derek Sturgell. Preston was not so lucky in the 125 pro race - he caught up to Robinson quickly after "The Tiger" nailed a perfect holeshot, yet Preston absolutely could not find a way around the crafty rider, so he had to settle for second place money with his Suzuki. Ohio fast-boy Tyler Bowers was in attendance and blowing away the competition, handily spanking the fields in both the 125 B and Schoolboy classes, while buddy Levi Kilbarger tore off with the 250 B class. Buckeye Powersports' Dickie Hoy came out for some fair racing and just tore up the vet classes, taking the 25 plus (A) and 30 plus classes with ease.
