Results

Pro racers ran three rounds of Pro Stock qualifying on Friday and then three round of Pro Open qualifying as well. The finals for round two were Saturday morning.

TJ Gulla (#44 Hentges Racing) launched off the start line in the Pro Open final on Saturday morning to take the lead and win. Levi LaVallee (#108 Hentges Racing) was 9th on the first lap. He worked his way through the pack and at the checkered flag he crossed the finish line in 3rd place. When Levi finally made it to the podium he claimed he had no idea he was 3rd. Mike Schultz (#5 Avalanche Racing) finished 7th with Ross Martin (#837 Judnick Motorsports/DuPont) finishing 8th.

Because this was a double header, Pro Stock had another three rounds of qualifying on Saturday with another final on Sunday. Going into the final the top ten qualifiers were #68 Tucker Hibbert, #837 Ross Martin, #3 Shaun Crapo, #67 Ryan Simons, #108 Levi LaVallee, #6 Carl Schubitzke, #192 Jeff Snow, #4 Robbie Malinoski, #18 Steve Martin, and #167 Dave Allard. At the checkered flag Mike Schultz (#5 Avalanche Racing) finished 4th with TJ Gulla (#44 Hentges Racing) taking 6th and Ross Martin, the points leader going in, finished 7th. Ross Martin held on to the points lead after the two rounds in Brainerd leading with four points over Tucker Hibbert. Mike Schultz is 3rd in Pro Stock points.

In the Pro Open final Ross Martin and Shaun Crapo battled for the 2nd spot until Martin’s throttle lever broke taking him out of the race. Shaun Crapo came home in 2nd place with TJ Gulla in 4th place, and Mike Schultz in 5th place. Ross Martin is in 2nd place in the points after three rounds five points behind Tucker Hibbert. Levi LaVallee and TJ Gulla are tied for 3rd with 157 points each and only two points behind Martin.

Brett Bender (#19 Hentges Racing) struggled a good part of the weekend but hit a home run in the Semi-Pro Open final when he got the holeshot and lead, never looking back going on to take the win. Dylan Martin (#937 Judnick Motorsports/DuPont) finished a very strong 4th with Bobby LePage (#244 Hentges Racing) in 6th. Bender still leads the Semi-Pro Open points.

Derek Ellis (#106 Rocky Mountain Racing) won the Sport Open Final. Joseph Fallen (#127) took the win in the Sport Stock final.

Event Description

Rounds 2 & 3 of the WPSA PowerSports Snowmobile Tour takes place at a new location, Brainerd International Raceway in Brainerd, MN. This event is a double header weekend with Pro racing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Canterbury Sno-Cross originally scheduled for this date has been changed to March 3-4, 2007 due to the weather. The double header weekend was moved to Brainerd, MN where the weather is much more favorable for making and keeping snow.

Ross Martin comes into the weekend with the points lead in both Pro classes. Mike Schultz and TJ Gulla are both in second place behind Martin. Brett Bender leads in points in both of the Semi-Pro classes.
