ended up getting around Josh, he made a mistake, then Trevor got around me. Robbie was in second and I was in third, and that was basically how it went. "Overall it was a great race. I wish I could have got a little up there next to Robbie and got the pass, but we played the cards we were dealt. We were good." Lap times revealed that Twist- ed Development rider Trevor Stewart was actually the quickest on the day. But a mistake in the first moto and having to claw his way back through the entire field to seventh left Stewart happy to simply make the overall podium. "After the first moto I saw no other option besides winning," said Stewart. "I was just so fired up. I felt like I had that first moto in the bag and just instantly went south, quickly. So, after that, we just put our heads down, and I charged back to seventh, which was very difficult from, like, 40th. "Jamie Ellis at Twisted, who built my motorcycle for the day, said, 'You're the fastest guy out there the first moto. Your lap times proved it. Go do it the sec- ond moto.' I just got a good start, picked a couple guys off, pretty quickly, and just sat behind Rob- bie. I ran out of tear-offs behind him and I knew I needed to make a pass. I had a really good line on him and just got by him and rode my own race." Stewart famously has his own unique style, which he demon- strated it in the second moto with an interesting line choice in the back section of the track. Rather than stepping onto a table and right into rough chop, Stewart found a smooth line through a wall ride. "That first time I did it, it was a mistake, but when you hit it right, it's way faster," said Stewart. "The track really resembled the off-road scene, which obvi- ously suited me very well. I was really happy, got to stand up, get in the groove how I like to. All smiles after there. I knew Robbie wouldn't do anything too crazy because he had the win locked up, so I knew once I got by him, it was my own race." The 125cc division had its own share of Pro excitement, with Pasha Racing once again putting up purses for 125 Pro, 30+ 125 Pro and 50+ 125 Pro classes. Justin Hoeft swept the Pasha 125 Open Pro race, besting Brandon Ray and Josh Mosiman, who traded runner-up finishes. In the 30+ 125 Pro race, Sean Collier battled with Jeff Alessi for the top honors, with Collier tak- ing the second-moto win and the overall. Third went to Jeff Loop. In the 50+ 125 Pro class, it was another Doug Dubach/Kurt Nicoll battle. The two duked it out in the both motos, trading a little paint in the process, but in the end, the Brit bested the Doctor, with Nicoll collecting the overall win with a 1-1 score. Dubach finished 2-2 for second while Alan Jullien edged out Pete Murray in the second moto for third overall. Jean Turner Open Pro Overall: 1. Robbie Wageman (Yam) 1-2 2. Dare DeMartile (Bet) 2-3 3.
