Paul Whibley has two wins in double header weekend.The Mid East race was staged at the Antioch Speedway and the first mile and a half incorporated the dirt track oval and infield. The track also ran through the embankment above the oval allowing spectators to view the first couple miles of the lap. With a pretty high average speed the 6 mile loop was completed in 12 minutes.I got a good start and swept into the lead as we speed around the dirt track oval. Cory McDonald gave chase on his YZ450 until a flat tire allowed KTM rider Stu Baylor and my AmPro teammate Jordan Ashburn past. The short fast lap made it tough to really gain an advantage and the traffic was constant. When the day was done I took the win ahead of the battling Stu Baylor and Jordan Ashburn. Mid East XC 1st: Paul Whibley 2nd: Stu Baylor 3rd: Jordan Ashburn The NCHSA event was held a short drive up the road near Taylorsville NC. Taking the hole shot helped me gap GEICO Honda rider Jimmy Jarrett  early in the race as he recovered from a poor start. The rocky soil was sketchy on the first lap especially in the fresh section that was still covered in leaves. Visiting Aussie Ash Day kept me in sight on the first lap until Jimmy Jarrett took the position, although Jimmy’s day ended early with some bike problems a few laps later. Ash had his own problems with a violent endo putting a finish to a 0strong run. I was ticking off safe, smooth laps at the front with my Vortex Ignition and G2 throttle Cams allowing me to find traction in the at times slick rocks. Another Aussie, Ben Kearney nabbed second when the checquered flag was waving.
