This past weekend was the last stop on the EWA Watercross tour at the NH Grassdrags & Watercross in Fremont, NH.  Team rider Tim Doi #56 came into the event with a rebuilt motor and was a little unsure of what was going to happen to it.  In practice on Friday, it was getting pretty hot but it was running strong.  Well halfway through Saturday's program he burned a piston in the middle of a race.  After a top end rebuild in less than 30 mins in the pits, Tim made it back out to finish out the day with a 4th in the 600 semi-pro ovals, a 5th in the 7's, and a 3rd in the 8's.  Going into Sunday's program was iffy on this touchy motor as Tim had to run a couple heats and then a final on Sunday morning to finish out Sat's program before Sunday's program even started.  Tim made the tough decision to only run the 600 semi-pro ovals on Sundays program in order to keep his motor strong for those races.  It payed off as his equipment held up and he went on to take an overall 1st in that class.



Due to sled trouble, Luke Janiszewski #556 did not qualify for Sat. finals and withdrew from Sunday's program, but his great results in Elmira will ensure a good finish in the points for the EWA.
