Talk about happy surprise and astonishment. That was the feeling in front of the podium for Monte Nichols, his family and crew, after Monte pulled off the upset, last-lap victory over Shawn Conrad in the AMA Pro Thunder round at Road America in June of 1999. It was his debut in the series! Monte was another in a line of local riders winning big national races in Elkhart Lake, from Todd Harrington, to Monte Nichols, to Jason Farrell, every once in a while the local boys make good in a big way.
