had some trouble climbing the
tires, and Walker took over the
lead with Hart right behind him.
Walker led for a few laps
before falling victim to the tires
as well, going down after exiting
them. From there Hart took over
the lead with Blazusiak not too
far behind. Hart went on to win
moto two ahead of Blazusiak and
Abbott.
In the final race, Hart edged
out Blazusiak for the holeshot,
but Blazusiak quickly gained
the lead in the rock garden
with Walker and Hart in tow.
Hart made a late push to pass
Blazusiak for the overall win, but
he fell short as he picked a dif-
ficult line in the rock garden that
allowed Blazusiak to secure the
race win and overall victory.
Hart was second in the final
race, Cory Graffunder third.
