McGill was holding 2nd as he rocketed past me
Borich held 3rd as he drops into one of the large ruts that were forming all over the place
Mr. 4 leaf clover, Brent Sturdivants luck was holding as he ran in 4th.
Brandon Sommers round out the top 5 in XC1 as he too drops into the rut. The final stages of the race were starting to shape up as they headed out for lap 3!
Ockerman decided to just jump the rut:p
Gabe Phillips would hold the #2 spot in XC2 for the majority of the race.
Gabe was pretty stoked with the holeshot and almost met his goal of getting himself a podium spot!
"Well the race started out really good, I got the holeshot! When i was heading across the field section I looked backed to see who was on my tail and it was Brian Wolf. I just rode smart stayed out of the trees and picked good lines. About the end of the first lap I started up a hill and didnt make it and Wolf got around me. Wolf looked back and waved his arm lets go! From there on out we rode bar to bar the rest of the race until on the last lap with about 150 feet to go I ran out of gas and had to push my bike across the finish line and finished 4th.It was alot of fun riding with Brian hes a good guy and a great rider. I cant wait for Somerset. Hopefully pull another holeshot and stay towards the front...

I left this section and headed off to the finish line area to see how this would all play out
Ryan Lane was off to a great start and was working his way into the top 10!
Bill Ballance just wasn't having a good day. I am pretty sure the reasoning lay in the machine because we all know Bill wont stop pushing if the problem was on him:p
Duane Johnson as well wasn't running as good as he has in the past several rounds. The conditions dictated caution and making up time would not be easy
