Budds was awesome. I felt so bad for Natalie. In moto one he pulled the holeshot and pulled away. Dustin Wimmer was second and Jones was in third. After about half the race Jones got by Wimmer and tried to make up ground on Natalie, but he was GONE. Farr started out 5th, right in front of Gust. It took Gust about a quarter of the race to get by and set his sights on Keith Little. About half way thru he passes Little and then Wimmer to get the third. Wimmer held on to 4th and Little 5th. Farr looked good, but just wasn't as fast thru the turns.
Moto 2 was a mess. Jones got the holeshot with Natalie close. After a lap Jones pulled about a 5 quad length lead and a lot of people (me included) expected him to pull away for his first win of the year. But, Natalie turned on the afterburners and caught and passed Jones! Meanwhile, Farr and Gust were fighting it out for third. ABotu 4 laps in, Jones and Natalie tangles and both Farr and Gust got by. After a few seconds Jones got under way but poor Natalie took forever to get going, by the time he did, he was completely out of the running. Jones put on a hard charge, passed Tavis Cain to go to second but couldn't catch the top two. Gust eventually got by Farr and pulled away. Farr held on for second with Jones third.
Gust won the overall with a 3-1 finish, Jones finished seconf with a 2-3 and Farr third with a 6-2 finish.
The track got REALLY rough but those guys just ate it up. Although Budds doesn't offer the air time that Birch Creek does, it is still a ton of fun watching the top guys in the world tear up a track.
Congrats to Gust, he simply amazes me being his age and riding the way he does. ANd a thumbs up to John Natalie, the fastest person on the track this weekend.
