Ramirez gated well and worked up to a second-place finish. just in front of Stephen Watson, Gary Harada and Rudy Chavez. In moto two, Falk again ripped the holeshot, only this time Ramirez was right behind him. Falk led for most of the way, but Ramirez was right there, stalking him the whole time. Just before the white flag came THE :iTH ANNUAL 4aOURS OF ----- • • •11 Qut, Falk made a minor mistake, and Ramirez capitalized and took over the point.
