to the starting gate and we raced," said Alessi,
who arrived after the practice sessions were
completed. "The second moto, I pulled out a
good lead and I was holding on by my fingertips
the last two laps. It was choppy, it was square-
edge, it was gnarly today! Anybody who was
here to witness it, they witnessed a good race.
We brought that thing down to the last lap, me
and Brownie. He was riding really good, got up
on me, almost made the pass on me. Luckily,
he blew that turn coming up to Mt. Saint Helens
and had he not blown that turn, he probably
would have got me on that last lap and won."
Alessi nearly collapsed at the finish, sitting
on the ground struggling to catch his breath
while Brown gave his podium interview. While
he had to settle for second in the 30+ Pro
overall, Brown collected his share of wins over
the weekend, claiming the prestigious 40+ Pro
