Gotta clean off the dust to get these stickers down. That's dust from the early 90's. Take a bite out of that and you'll start talking in a Brooklyn accent.

It was a rainy day down at LES and unfortunately Nicholas Ramos wasn't able to hit the 2-peat at LES. Luckily, he finished in the top 12 and landed a spot in the Tampa Am Saturday Qualifiers!

Koston Eaton had a tough start to the day, but came out on at 7th overall. Not bad for a rainy day. Back over crook on the gap to rail.
