Ra y got a go o d start in the first moto and smoothed his way to the win. Darcy Binder, Dale Ruggles and Sco tt Bradley all took off aft er him and nev er let up. Th e second moto started off in super fash ion, no falls and WFO . This time Ra y was fo urth or fifth into the first tum. A lap later he was in fITSt and starting to pull aw ay .
