me and Thad were like, one
second apart in some tests,"
said Draper. "I crashed in the
first enduro test today and then
crashed again, which cost me
was third in the Pro division and
fourth overall. Draper was in the
hunt all weekend for second overall,
mixing it up with Duvall and Girroir.
"Layne put it to us again, but
worked out pretty good."
Johnny Girroir wrapped up the
Pro2 title a race early, as well,
with a third overall. The Coastal
Racing GasGas rider swept all
12 tests in the Pro2 division and
even won the final cross test
outright against the Pros.
"It feels good, a big weight lifted
off my shoulders," said Girroir.
"I'm excited to be a back-to-back
champ in sprint racing. I really
enjoy this kind of racing. I kind of
was struggling in the grass track
a little bit. Kind of just fighting my-
self. But the last grass test, I aced
it. I did it as perfect as I could.
I actually ended up getting the
overall win on that last grass test,
so that felt really good."
