the top five spots were up for gra bs until late in
the moto. Ca sey Barn es was th e man o n th e
mov e, recovering fro m a bad start . Th e Su zuki
ride r worked his way int o the to p five by midmot o but did not settle there.
As the mo to ca me to a dose, it wa s Tesh takin g th e w in with a co mfo r ta b le ma rgin over
Ha ger in seco nd . Bar nes mad e h is way into
third , and his tea mmate Evan Owenb y qu ietly
worked his wa y to fourth.
The second mot o sa w Hager take th e
hol eshot over Tesh, Ba rnes, Strange and Andy
Mit ch e ll . Kn owing the seco nd mo to w ould
determine the overall on the day, Hager quickly
tried to put so me d ista nce o n Tesh. In his haste,
Hager made a h uge m ist ake through the new
rocker section, collectin g Tesh as well .
T he Su zuki rid e r w a s able to get .g o in g
befor e Barnes co uld slip into the lead . Barn es
stay ed close for the mot a , waiting for a mistake
by Tesh , but none happened . Tesh held on fnr
th e second-mo te w in and the ov erall. Barn es
took second , Stran ge third, and Earls fourth
after ma king so me rather risky moves to make
u p for a bad start . Hager recovered for fifth.

lead over th e rest o f th e pa ck. Bu nc h was all
ov er jennings for two laps, wa iting for a miscue,'
but Jen nings see med to ha ve his bases covered .
As the ra ce entered the final stages, Bunch
go t th e b rea k h e was looking fo r and took
advan tage of his fello w Cobra rider' s fall and
headed to the checkered flag for the win . Alv ear
was also close enough to move into second. Jen nings recovered in time to take thi rd , with Harper and Hov is ro unding out the top five.
je nnings was loo kin g for revenge in moto
two, bu t Bunch had other ideas and he grabbed
th e lead . Jennings was in second, close beh ind,
w ith Max Heavner in tow . Two of the first-mot e
contenders, Alvear and Hovi s, were mis sin g d ue
