30+ Pro Podium – Lipanovich, Collier, Morais.

This event hosts a unique three-moto format for the non-pros, while the pro racers ran the typical two-moto format. The 30+ and 40+ Pro classes were the highlight of the weekend, as names on the entry lists look like the main event from a typical ’90s Supercross. 

Mike Brown was tough to beat. He won the 40-plus Championship, took sixth in the 30-plus Pro class and second in the 30-plus Pasha 125 Pro two-stroke race.

Sean Lipanovich came out on top in the 30+ class. His holeshot in moto one allowed him to run away with the win before backing it up with a second in moto two. Former pro Sean Collier proved to be tough, as he traded wins with Lipanovich and took the victory in the second moto. Collier’s 3-1 earned him second overall. Ryan Morais played it consistent and went 2-3 for third overall.
