SUNDAY, JULY 12
With an entertaining and safe day of racing already in the books from Saturday, the competitors of the WKA Manufacturer’s Cup series heading back onto the Briggs & Stratton Motorplex on Sunday as eight more classes were on the docket. The racing was a little wilder this time around as the red flag flew more than once, but the quality of the wheel-to-wheel racing was again top-notch. Californian John Zartarian traveled into Wisconsin and walked away with an impressive TaG win, after getting quicker and quicker through the four-day event. On the other side of the spectrum, young Trent Hindman was looking at capping an outing rippled with horribly bad luck when he steered cleared of the opening lap melee in Yamaha Jr. Light to salvage the trip with a huge win. All in all, with the weather cooperating completely, the Manufacturer’s Cup turned in a solid performance at Road America despite the fact that the numbers were lower than expected.
