Polaris with a 1-2-3 Podium Sweep | Gerald Dyrdahl Memorial Pine Lake Season Opener 12-16-18

Roseau, Minn. (December 17, 2018) - What a difference a year makes. No snow dust and temperatures hitting the 40 degree mark gave spectators perfect weather for this season opener.

Saturday would kick off with the Pro Open qualifier. #14 Taylor Bunke hit the track with his 600 R Polaris machine. Pro riders left the line screaming in search for a front row position. Bunke had a clean run placing him in the front row for the final. Bunke hit the final with one thing in mind - that checkered flag. Bunke came out fast and hard running for the first corner side by side with #537 Ryan Faust battling for the hole shot. #14 Bunke and #28 Justin Tate were hitting handlebars and changing positions in the laps leading up to the fuel stop. Bunke ran into tough luck - when his belt expoded a mere 300 yards after getting fuel and gaining track position. Bunke overcame the hurdle to contiune and finish what he started and would claim a 7th place finish.
