the start, but he would hang on to claim a solid
seventh place. Nick DeNoble started off strong,
but appeared to fade due to the heat as the moto
wore on and his efforts would earn him a ninth
place finish after a hard fought battle with Cody
Grant, who would end up settling for tenth overall.
The number 708 Houser Racing backed Honda of Harold
Goodman held on to take eleventh, while Mushin
Racing’s Cody Gibson, who looked as if he
were just out to have a little fun, would finish
in twelfth and Keith Little would claim thirteenth.

issue |
John Natalie, Jr. came on strong in the beginning
of the moto, but an issue would sideline him at
the midway point of the race. Joe Byrd ran into
mechanical issues just a few laps in after sucking
water into his intake, and after only a few more
laps, was forced to pull off. Greg Gee suffered
a crash in the second lap that caused damage to
his quad and ended things early for him.
