T
he fourth round of the PAMX Thor Spring Series at the legendary Steel City Raceway saw a great turnout and perfect track conditions for the better part of the day. The Racer Productions crew kept up as best as they could, working on several areas in between motos. Despite chilly temperatures and increasingly dusty conditions, it was a wonderful day of racing. The A and B classes normally run five-lap motos with the rest running four, but this time each class got an extra lap, promoting some pretty good battles throughout the day.

The battle for second place entertained spectators during the first 250 A moto, as Joey DeNeen, Alex O’Dell, and the trailing John Wells stayed right on each other throughout the moto. O’Dell and DeNeen passed back and forth a couple of times, but DeNeen made the last move to secure the spot behind frontrunner Jason McConnell. Wells settled in behind O’Dell in fourth but came back to win the second moto and claim first overall.
