Shane Green, from Georgetown, Illinois, had a perfect night at the Central Illinois M/C, winning all three classes he entered and taking the Fast Time of the Night award.  His first win came in the 250cc class where he overtook Matt Peters for the win.  Peter topped the 100 foot very rough hill in 3.362 seconds on his first ride on his Honda to take the lead into intermission with Green running second.  In the second round Green turned in a beautiful 3.218 second run on his YZ250 to take the class win, as Peters failed to improve on his time.

            Riding his KTM380 in the 450cc Green found himself in second place again at the break, his 3.396 second run well off a 3.166 second time delivered by Cody Jenner on a YZ450F.  But, just as in the 250cc class, Green delivered an even faster 3.149 second time on his second run to take the class win from Jenner, who settled for second place.

            Green’s fast time came in the 600cc class where he found himself once more in second place at intermission with a 3.247 second time on his KX500, once more with Cody Jenner leading with a 3.172 second run on his CR500.  And once again, Green came from behind to win his class, this time with a sizzling 2.957 second high flying ride that also set the Fast Time of the night.  Green was the only rider to break into the 2’s all night. D.J. Compton was close with a 3.050 second run on his KX500 to slip under Jenner for second place.

            Joe ‘Jammin Joe’ McGurer took the Youth Fast Time trophy with his 3.737 second class winning time in the 85cc Junior Mini class. He actually had the top two fastest times as his first round 4.074 second time would have held up for the class win and fast time if he hadn’t beaten it himself. Logan Moody was second with a 4.367 second time.

            In other youth action, National Champion Dakota "D.J." Watson took the 50cc class win with a 72 foot ride on his Cobra with Levi Peters claiming second on his KTM.  Brett Kalaher was the best of the 65cc class with a 4.306 second winning time with Logan Moody second.  Jeremy James was the 85cc Senior Mini winner with a 4.997 second run with Dylan Brady second.

            Steve Shafer also enjoyed a triple win evening, riding his classy Harley three times.  He topped the rough hill in 3.403 seconds in the Senior (+40) class on his first ride, and that time held up for the class win.  Mark Peters was his closest challenger with a 3.545 second time on his KTM.  Shafer rode unopposed in the Open and Open Pushrod classes to claim 2 more wins.
