Team AMSOIL snocross riders Shaun Crapo and DJ Eckstrom and the rest of the WPSA field found the snow they've been looking for all season long last weekend. With record snowfalls in upstate New York, Crapo and Eckstrom were hoping for a record weekend of racing on the freshly fallen snow.
In Pro Stock, Eckstrom was the number four qualifier. Crapo battled two crashes and settled for a Last Chance Qualifier win to advance to the main. Eckstrom finished eighth in the final, while Crapo couldn't overcome the back row starting spot and finished 12th.
In Pro Open, both riders started on the front row. Crapo turned in a fast race, battling up front with the race leader for most of the circuit. Crapo ran out of steam and finished in fourth. Eckstrom was fighting for fifth, but got tangled up and finished 13th.
Crapo moved up in the points race in Pro Open and now sits fifth overall and just 17 points out of first. Eckstrom picked up more than 50 points and moved into the top 20 for the first time this year. In Pro Stock, Eckstrom is in ninth and Crapo is in 15th.
The AMSOIL/Scheuring Speed Sports team will be in action this weekend in Valcourt, Quebec. The WPSA airs weekly on SPEED.
See you at the races,
