UPTON, IVY,}Ul\'E21
Scott Stretch had a fast, clea n rid e and won the

which was round eight of the Rocky Mountain

"My arms we re tota lly bruised from those

Riders went on to complete the 38-mile first

d
fellow Kawasaki rid", Bryan Penney .
After a l~ minu tc gas stop , rider'S headed into
'
the 5eCo loop, a l~o with 1\'1.0 spt"Cial·tesl secnd

This st"Ction was 9 mile50 long on mote-Opt.'11, fa~t
trail. At the st.'amd gas sto p, Stretch still h.ld the
quic k timl'S. The A/B-class-rider-only third 1{X>p
started out as a repea t of loop two; at l ea ~t that's
what the riders thought. After riding the same tt-st

" It wa s a lot of fun out the re," Stretch said .
"Ot was) unevent ful except for riding the Sl'CC.md

\Vith Graves ' ml-diocre start, Frank Araga ki
took the holeshot , followt.-d by [)('an Vincent and
Bryce Gross. .But near the end of the fin;t lap, a

midp ack riders and emt.'rged third .
By the sta rt of lap thr ee, Graves had moved
up to fou rth a nd Mum ford wa!'O defini tely in hi:,>

<6Ored Yama ha YZN:Kl. In the same lap , Gravl'S
went around the outside of Vincent in the long
turn·eight sweep er , movin g him se lf into t-econd.
Graves, now focu~ed on ca tching Aragaki,
bt..-gan closing the gap on the leader through the
event. At the sa me time;
next lap of the eight
Mu m ford was begi n ning to challl~nge Vincent
for thi rd. Just after the sta rt of la p five, Gravl'S
found his chance an d, exiting tum two , he sho t
into the lead , demoting Aragaki to St.'COnd . ~
La ter in the same lap, Mu m f. rd u~ed the
