Walsh Race Craft's #83 Thomas Brown would go 2-4 giving him third overall on his Wienen Motorsports Yamaha YFZ450 ATV in Washington, Georgia |
Brown came out of the first turn in fifth, right behind the battle for second and made a few mistakes early on. Brown was able to put his head down and make his way back up to the front of the pack, making the pass into fourth on the last lap. "I'm pumped to start the season off on the box with solid points!" said Brown.
Rastrelli looked as if he was going to come out of moto two with a similar finish to moto one, however, things didn't quite go as planned for the Florida native. Rastrelli grabbed a mid-pack start and was able to maintain a seventh place position until two laps to go he went up over a berm and couldn't get his machine out of the mud.
