Aaron Ascher defended his 2012 class title, sweeping both Formula 40 Heavyweight races for the 2013 class championship. The Formula Sidecar team of Chris Wood/Aaron McEwen edged the Donn Sayre/John Heenan team by .439 for the win and the class championship in Formula Sidecars. Jeremy Coffey took his Kawasaki 250R to multiple class wins, giving him the Overall Lightweight Championship.
Shandra Crawford, organizer for the event said, “Once again, I’d like to thank WERA for allowing me to share their event with them. I would also like to thank the competitors that participated in the event and putting on such a great show of racing. Good competition and camaraderie are what makes this sport so enjoyable, and I want to thank everyone for their cooperative spirit. I would also like to thank my sponsors for this: RK Excel, DRIVEN, SBKPaint.com, Cyclemall, and Leescycle. You guys are what make it possible for me to keep doing this event. I would also like to thank Matt Buanno for helping me with the parts trophies. Those thing are a ton of work, and I really appreciate your help getting them done.”
