"It was a really good night," Daniels said. "All day, really, since we unloaded off the truck. It was real weird. When we unloaded, the track was really heavy—it was almost like Lima. But it changed so much through - out the day. For the main event, they dug it up and for the first couple laps it was like a cush- ion, but then it really went down to this notch groove you could not get off. I just kept putting in good laps. I had to regroup after the red flag, but I was able to get a really good start. aboard the works Royal En - field. JMC Motorsports' Jarod Vanderkooi tried to find a way underneath Lewis, but instead came into contact with him. That prompted Robinson's fall, and he was subsequently im- pacted by the Harley-Davidson XR750 piloted by Dodge Bros. Racing's Sammy Halbert. A red flag waved with Robin- son on the ground and in obvi- ous pain. While he managed to walk away under his own power, his evening was over. The restart that resulted in little drama at the front did allow Bauman to make his push to fourth on the Parts Plus/Jacob Companies KTM 890 Duke. Lewis, meanwhile, locked in his second top five of the season, again keeping Halbert trapped who twice suffered because of opening practice crashes already this season, was the victim of a multi-rider crash suf- fered while disputing fourth.

And—as has been the story pretty much all year—even more was on the table if he only had a bit more luck. He said, "Waking up, riding my bicycle on the coast was pretty epic. I came to the facility and the facility is amazing, right on the beach. First practice the track was epic too with a perfect little cushion. But the track just started going away. I was up and down the charts all day. We made the dash and were second fastest, but we just couldn't pass. It was just one of those deals. And then tonight in the main, I feel like I need to get my eyes checked. It was pretty dark, and I just can't see at night it seems like. It was really difficult in (turns) three and four, and that's where I felt like I was really slow and gave up a lot of time. I tried making it back up in [turn] one and twice and made mistakes there. Once Jared [Mees] got by me, and the other time Briar got by me. It's cool to be top five on the Royal Enfield in the SuperT- wins class, but I'm disappointed in myself to slip back."
