Downs was the site for round six of the Flat track Canada National
series and fans were treated to an incredible show under almost perfect
racing conditions. With the season heading into the home stretch, riders
left everything on the track as
they battled for valuable points.

After sweeping the event last year, Dustin Brown was hoping to do the
same on this night. Things looked to be right on track for Brown when he
grabbed the holeshot for the DTX Expert race and he had already built a
six bike length lead as he exited turn two
on the opening lap. After falling while leading his heat race, Dave
Pouliot was looking for some redemption charging from row two and as the
field came onto the front straight for the first time Pouliot found
himself in third behind Brown and rookie Expert
Hunter Bauer who was looking good in second. The running order stayed
the same until lap five when Pouliot managed to squeak by Bauer in turn
two and set sail after the leader who had a substantial lead on the rest
of the field. With Pouliot on the charge,
it was very evident that things were working for him in turns three and
four as he made up multiple bike lengths each lap at that end of the
track. Lap eight saw the two riders almost side by side in turn four and
just one lap later there was heavy contact
between the two riders in the same corner. With both riders fortunate
to stay upright, Pouliot watched Brown move up to take his line away on
the next lap as he defended his race lead. On the final lap Pouliot took
one more shot at Brown in turn four but came
up just a bit short at the line. Final finishing order was Brown,
Pouliot, and then Bauer.



Brown kept the win streak going in the Dash for Cash but Chris Evans
and Tyler Seguin looked very fast in rounding out the top three. When
the green light flashed for the Open Expert final it was Bauer taking
advantage of a re-start to lead the charge into
turn one. Brown made short work of Bauer in turn three and at the end
of lap one the top three were Brown, Brodie Buchan, and Seguin who had
both made their way past Bauer as well. Lap four saw Seguin grab the
lead for a moment but Brown muscled his way back
around almost immediately to regain the top spot. Lap five saw Buchan
make his way past Seguin and one lap later Chris Evans did the same as
he made up for a less than perfect start. As Buchan edged closer to the
leader, he made his move on lap nine but his
time up front was short lived as Brown answered right back going into
turn one. As Brown forced his way past Buchan, Buchan had a huge moment
as the bike slid out in full lock and his right leg flew up in the air.
Lucky to still be on his machine, Buchan stayed
ahead of Evans as they both kept up their pursuit of leader Brown. A
couple of laps later Brown was stunned when his bike went silent which
promoted everybody up one position. Evans made his way past Buchan with a
couple of laps to go and running order at
the checkered flag was Evans, Buchan, and then Seguin who benefitted
from Bauer’s bike losing power with one lap remaining.





Intermediate action saw Gabriel Boisvert go two for two on the night
despite almost throwing away a victory on the final corner of the final
lap. Boisvert was flying all night long and it was very apparent the
track was to his liking. Dustin Lambert proved
why he is leading the Intermediate points chase as he took second in
the DTX race and third in the Open event to gain important points
towards the championship. Rod Scott had a good run to take third in the
DTX race while Logan Wilson rode smoothly through
the pack to take second in the Open race.
