Winner – Eran Pielert 4.625
Runner-up – Maegan Bikerchicc Bowers 4.626
#1 Qualifier – Mike Ostrowski 4.601

Once again, the Vance & Hines 4.60 class showed out with thirty-seven riders competing for thirty-two spots on Sunday. Going into the DME Racing Fall Nationals, Michael Ostrowski was leading points. The competition in this class is so tight that a points leader one race can fall several spots by the next race.

Ostrowski took the qualifying lead with a 4.601 over Tyler Cammock’s 4.601 to give him the number two spot in qualifying. Qualifying was rounded out with Thomas Acres as the thirty-second qualifier running a 4.733, that’s only a thirteen-second differential among thirty-two riders, leaving no room for error in this eighth-mile class. In the first round of eliminations, there was only one red light, and three .00 lights showing you just how cutthroat this class is once they roll through the water box.

Ostrowski took a first-round loss to Thomas Acres in round one when he broke out with a 4.560 to Acres’ 4.569. This loss would ultimately cost him the championship, as Tyler Cammock, Mac McAdams and Michael Thyen were all in striking distance, and all three took a win in the first round. However, in round two of eliminations Michael Thyen would lose to Darion Payne taking him out of the running for the championship. This left Mac McAdams and Tyler Cammock now both in the running for the 2019 title. In round three of eliminations, Eran Pielert would chop the tree on McAdams with a .003, and then drag him to the finish line where he let him take the stripe on a breakout run of 4.591 to Pielert’s 4.629 who took the win by a thirteen-inch margin of victory. Now McAdams would wait on the top end of the track to see if his only rival left, Tyler Cammock, would win or lose his round. Unfortunately for McAdams, Cammock would dominate Darion Payne and take the win and the 2019 Championship! Cammock is the first repeat champion this class has seen since its inceptions in 2013. Cammock won the championship four years ago in 2015 under the IDBL sanction.

But don’t feel too bad for McAdams. On Saturday during qualifying eight racers put up their own cash to race against each other in the 460 Big Money Shootout. Ronald Procopio, Brad Gleason, Wes Hawkins, Tyler Cammock, Richard Gadson, Michael Thyen, and Boo Brown joined McAdams in three rounds of racing to win a $4,000 cash payday. Procopio chopped the tree with a.014 on McAdams in the final but misjudged his performance and broke out at the stripe with a 4.571 to give the win and all the cash to Mac McAdams.

Cammock would not go on to win the event. In the semifinal, Maegan Bowers would take the win against him with a holeshot victory. And Eran Pielert would win against Tim Shelton to send him to the final against Bowers. Neither of these two racers has ever won a 4.60 race, and this would be a first for one of them no matter who took the win in the final. Bowers, who is in her very first season of 4.60, also became the first woman to race in a 4.60 final. XDA announcer, Fabian Brown hyped this final round to the crowd, and everyone was on their feet as they watched these two turn their top bulbs on. Pielert wanted the win and cut a .008 light on Bower’s .079 reaction. With Pielert out in front of Bowers she would have to put in work to send her bike down the groove as quickly as possible if she wanted to catch him. As much as Bowers wanted the win, she just couldn’t get there, and Pielert took the win by fifteen feet, with a 4.625 to her 4.626.
