Tonglet battled motor problems in Englishtown, N.J. and Norwalk and had a different motor here.  “We sent our motors to Vance and Hinds to fix.  They couldn’t fix the one we’ve been racing, so we ended up using this one and it has been flying.”

On the way to his to the winner’s circle, Tonglet doused the title hopes of Angie Smith (6.994 at 190.08 to 8.097 at 123.25, David Hope (7.087 at 185.87 to 7.115 at 183.97), and Matt Smith (7.107 at 186.02 to 7.141 at 182.01).

“It really means a lot to win here again.  The fans were coming by the trailer and they kept saying I could repeat, but I really didn’t believe them.  Winning here two years in a row is really awesome for Kenny Koretsky and Nitro Fish Racing.”

Tonglet also moved into a tie for fourth place with Andrew Hines (401 points).
