No word on Gust yet...

[p@iNn3ck]

Update******

Pat Brown had some troubles and wrecked on a downhill section on the first lap.

Harold Goodman had his seat come off which dropped him back.

Doug Gust had another pretty serious wreck. His bike hooked and slammed him to the ground, knocking him out again. He was taken off the track on a back board. He was taken to the hospital for evaluation.

Hopefully everything is alright with Doug and we'll see him back on the track for moto 2.

[p@iNn3ck]

Sorry about moto 2, we had plenty of technical difficulties. Here goes an overview.....

[p@iNn3ck]

Off the start it was Farr, Natalie and Byrd leading into the first turn. Farr took the inside line, edging out Natalie, and Byrd dropped into third. Jones and Cain were in chase. Brown, Attix, Ellis, Wimmer and Spader followed.

Dunk had bike probs when he got tangled with Little and went through the banners. A stake from the banners went through his radiator, sending him to the pits.

At the end of lap 1, Farr was still in the lead, with Natalie right behind him.

Harold Goodman was taking it slow because an experiencement of removing his top engine mount caused the quad to flex and felt uncomfortable, so he played in safe in the 2nd Moto.

[p@iNn3ck]

Lap 2 Natalie took over the lead, he and Farr were tight out front. Jones moved up to third, with Cain running strong in fourth.

Each lap Natalie stretched his lead. Jones moved up on Farr begining to pressure him.

Ellis, Cain and Byrd were battling in a tight group in 4th - 6th.

[p@iNn3ck]

Several laps in it was Natalie, Farr, Jones, Cain, Ellis, Byrd, Little, Wimmer, Attix, White and Brown.

Ellis was putting pressure on Cain. Going over a double Ellis had to let off to keep from hitting Cain, causing him to case the jump and go over the bars. The wreck dropped him back out of the top 10.

Farr and Jones were still battling for 2nd and 3rd.

Brown was moving up, putting pressure on Attix and White.

[p@iNn3ck]

Natalie was cruising out front. Byrd and Cain were having a good battle for 5th and 6th.

Wimmer moved up on Little, as Little began to reel in Cain and Byrd. Little then made his pass on Byrd when he had a bobble on the uphill triple landing, and later in the race he made the pass on Cain.

Near the end of the race, Byrd made a pass on Cain to take away 5th.

Farr held off Jones in a tire to tire battle, both about 10 seconds behind the leader, John Natalie Jr.
