IN THE WIND P36 points, followed by Michael with 143, and Draper with 118. Coastal Racing GasGas' Johnny Girroir, winner of the first two rounds of the series, was forced to miss the race due to an injury suffered the weekend before. He sits in fourth overall with 115 points. Draper turned in an excellent ride on Sunday and finished out the weekend with fourth overall, just four seconds behind Mi- chael. "It was a really good weekend for me," said Draper. "I finally found myself riding up to what I know how to ride. Yesterday was good. I was close with the boys all day. Then today I rode really well. Me and Layne came down to the last test. He got me by four seconds for the weekend." Devlin, who is still adjusting to a four-stroke, was second in the Pro 2 class with a fifth-overall finish. "I rode really well this week- end, as I'm trying to progress and learn the four-stroke," said Dev- lin. "I rode pretty well yesterday, but I messed it up today. I lost too much time. Pretty disappoint- ed in myself how I rode today, but happy to be second." RPM Racing KTM's Angus Riordan continues to gain mo- mentum as he gains experience in the sprint series. The Austra- lian finished off the weekend with sixth overall and third in the Pro 2 class. "I'm slowly getting there; it's just the terrain I need to get used to," said Riordan. "I'm slowly improving. I'm enjoying it." After getting off to a rough start on Saturday, Massachusetts rider Bubz Tasha (KTM) claimed his best finish of the year with seventh overall and first in the Pro-Am class after coming out on top of a good race with Cade Henderson for the win in the Pro 2 class. After running as high as sev- enth overall on Saturday, Forbes Racing's Cole Forbes turned in his best performance to date with an eighth overall and first in the 250 A class. Forbes was also top amateur. Capitalizing on a great race on Saturday, Henderson finished up with ninth overall and second in the Pro-Am class. Rounding out the top 10 and third in the Pro-Am class was Neil Enman (GG). The Women's Pro class, Trail Jesters Racing KTM's Kori Steede topped Rockstar En- ergy Husqvarna's Tayla Jones by over a minute for the overall win. Steede won nine tests over the course of the two-day event, while Jones won three. "I stayed super consistent and it ended up paying off big time," said Steede. "This weekend you just had to be super consistent with how gnarly the tracks were. So, I'm pumped." Third overall went to FXR Rac- ing KTM's Shelby Turner. Shan Moore OVERALL 1. Josh Toth (KTM) 2.
