ROUND 2 / SEPTEMBER 15, 2018
ORANGE COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS/ COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA
P60
When the gate dropped for
the 21-lap main event, it was
Tremaine aboard the electric-
powered Alta Redshift that
actually led the pack into the
first turn. But by the end of the
lap, Tremaine relinquished the
lead to Webb, while Haaker was
mired way back in the pack after
falling.
But Haaker was on a mis-
sion. He wouldn't let the fall ruin
his night and instead started
charging up through the pack.
He battled his way into second
place by the fifth lap and then
slowly, methodically reeled
in the leader, Webb. Haaker
chased the number-one plate
holder, Webb, and finally found
a way around him on the 11th
lap, but there was still plenty of
racing left.
Despite falling in a rock turn
and letting Webb close the gap
a bit, Haaker was in full control
of the race and rode off with the
win.
Webb, however, lost a posi-
tion to Trystan Hart, on the Team
SRT Husqvarna, before the
checkered flag came out.
Hart had caught Webb late in
the race and pressured him into
making a mistake in the rock pile.
As Webb tried to regroup, Hart
rode around him and took second
in the race. Webb settled for third.
Tremaine gave Alta, and
electric-powered motorcycles,
its best finish ever in fourth,
followed by Spain's Cristobal
Despite this little
hiccup, Spanish rider
Cristobal Guerrero
had a good night,
finishing inside the
top five in the main
event.
