The 250cc main event was comprised of
the top five riders from both heat races and
the top five from the semi, for a total of 15 of
the top Pros in attendance. Morais knew what
had to be done.
"I knew I needed to get a start and just pull
away from the guys as fast as I could," he
said.
Morais did just that, grabbing the early
lead and opening a comfortable gap over the
mighty four-stroke of Woods for the iength of
the race and the eventual victory. Young was
a solid third, and Gosselaar worked his way
through the field from a dead-last start to finish fifth, right on the heels of Blair in fourth.
"This turned out great," Morais said.
"Tonight started out really difficult but finished
perfectly."
Morais also returned Sunday in the TT
event for the class title as well, topping a large
field of entrants.
"This was something completely different
than what I am used to," Morais said, "but it
was really fun out there today."
