Holeshot Award, and, most importantly, the 2008
XC2 Class Championship.
“It feels good to do it,” said
Ockerman. “I don't know what I'm going
to do next, though. I had a chance to run with
some of the pros today, but those guys, they're
crazy.”

and The National Guard's Mark Nottman was third.
In the XC1 Class, Kiser was proud of his second-place
overall finish. “I knew my speed was good,

want to get up here at the last two races and
get one of those glass cups (first place trophy).”

knew we could be back here if we just rode smart.”
