"I have a setup on my motorcycle that I'm
really pleased with," Graves said. "I had been
struggling getting it set up, and this time it ran
really well."
Kenny Kopecky was the fastest racer off
the line in the Hyperclub Formula Two Grand
Prix race, but once again Graves moved into
the lead by tum two. That pushed Kopecky
back to second. Bryan Kovarick held down an
early third. Midway through lap two of the 10lap event, Kovarick moved past Kopecky for
second. For the next few laps, those positions
were unchanged, until Owen Richey moved
into Kopecky's draft on the back straight on
lap four and passed him going into tum nine.
With no further changes in the top three,
Graves took the win, followed by Kovarick in
second and Richey in third.
In the Graves Motorsports 650cc Superbike race, Kovarick took the holeshot, with
Graves in second and Kopecky in third. Down
the back straight on the first lap, Graves
caught and passed Kovarick to take the lead.
A few turns later, Toye drafted and passed
Kopecky to take over third. For the next few
laps of the six-lap sprint race, Toye concentrated on closing the gap on Kovarick in second. In lap five, he succeeded in passing
Kovarick in the back straight. On the whiteflag lap, Kovarick managed to briefly pass
Toye for second, but T oye was determined
and, as the racers came down the front
straight for the checkered flag, Toye twisted
the throttle and narrowly crossed the line in
second, behind Graves with the win. Kovanck
was third.
