GBC/Cernics/HMF/Yamaha's Johnny Gallagher
put in a solid fifth-place ride behind Yamaha's
Fowler, giving the veteran a good points foundation
heading into round two in Georgia next weekend.
Yamaha-mounted Jeff Pickens was running inside
the top five as well, before experiencing mechanical
issues that kept him from finishing the race.

With Fowler on the front line this season,
the XC2 Pro Am class opened up as anyone's win
in the Florida sand. Pennsylvania's Patrick
McGuire shot out for the $100 Motosport.com
Holeshot Award and didn't look back as he went
on to take the first win of the season in the
Pro Am division. Second position's Braden Henthorn
debuted in the Pro Am class at the end of last
season, but this year will mark his first full
season in the class and title chase.

over heavy hitters Cody Collier (APX) and Zachary
