CLIFFORD, PA

Hurricane Hills hosted round 18 of the massive District 34 Championship Series on Sunday, July 18, at the Hurricane Hills Sports Center. Former Suzuki pilot Justin Yedinak (404, below), now mounted on a Honda, topped the Mid Mini podium with a perfect 1-1 score.

Yedinak, Kawasaki pilot Carl Brucher (28, above), Josh McGinnis, Justin Tompkins and Ty Portz led the pack out of the second turn in the first Mid Mini moto. Brucher passed Yedinak in the first corner of lap two, taking the lead, but was quickly relegated back to second when Yedinak jumped past Brucher over the Hurricane Hills elevator. Tompkins, McGinnis and Portz rounded out the top five. Tomkins passed McGinnis on the flat-track section, taking third. Portz was alone in fifth.

Yedinak started lap four with a four-second lead and appeared to have the win in the bag but made a mistake on the white-flag lap that dropped him back to third. Brucher inherited the lead, with Tomkins in close pursuit, but lapped traffic slowed the pair while Yedinak mounted a charge back to the front. Brucher then stalled his Kawasaki in the corner before the downhill tabletop, handing Tomkins the lead. Yedinak closed the gap on Tomkins and retook the point with a quarter of a lap to go. Yedinak took the checkers two seconds ahead of Tomkins. Brucher, McGinnis and Portz followed.

Yedinak, Brucher, Tomkins, McGinnis and Portz led the start of the final moto. Yedinak started the second lap with a two-second advantage. Yedinak increased his lead to three seconds at the start of lap three, as the top five began to spread out. Yedinak took the white flag with a four-second lead, which increased to six at the checkers. Brucher, Tomkins, McGinnis and Portz completed the top five.

Yedinak (1-1) topped the podium. Brucher (3-2) was runner-up overall, just edging out Justin Tompkins (2-3).

Sean Ballard (916), Daniel Kucera (717) and Kevin Tompkins (303) led the start of the opening Supermini moto, followed by Wayne Dietz and Angelo Panzarella Jr. Ballard and Tomkins quickly left the rest of the field behind as they battled for the lead. Ballard had a four-second advantage at the start of lap two. Tompkins reduced Ballard's lead to three seconds at the start of lap three but couldn't get any closer. Ballard took the checkered flag three seconds ahead of Tomkins. Kucera, Dietz and Terry Orazzi followed.

Ballard, Kucera, Tomkins and Dietz led the start of the final moto. Tomkins passed Kucera for second just prior to the start of lap two. Ballard held a two-second advantage on lap two, and that became three seconds at the start of lap three, as the top five began to spread out once again. Tomkins held Ballard's lead to three seconds but couldn't get any closer and ran out of time. Ballard took the win with a three-second advantage. Tomkins, Kucera, Dietz and Panzarella completed the top five.

Ballard (1-1) topped the podium. Tompkins (2-2) took second and Kucera (3-3) was third.
