wheel," said Haaker. "I was dead
last. It was hard to pass, but there
were a lot of mistakes to be made,
and luckily, guys were making
them. So, you could be off just a
little bit, like a couple of inches off
the other rider, and make a pass if
they made a mistake."
In the third moto, Haaker had
a good start and came out of the
first turn in second place, although
he dropped back to third briefly. "I
worked my way back into second
after a crash," said Haaker. "Then I
got a nice little move from Trystan
there that got me."
After getting a second and
a third in the first two motos,
Webb flat ran away with the third
moto.
Webb, and Haaker—in addition
to some paint swapping. Hart
still took the overall win with a
1-2-2 moto tally.
"Tonight was crazy, for sure,"
said Hart. "I won the first one,
then Colton, then Cody. I had to
make a clutch pass on the last
lap to get the win on Colton in
moto one, so I just shoved it up
the inside. We hit. I think he fell.
I asked him if it was dirty. He
said it was all good, so we're on
good terms. Two in a row in two
nights. What a way to get the
season back on track."
Haaker got revenge in moto
two with a win of his own. "In
the first moto, the first turn, my
leg stuck to Taddy's [Blazusiak]
confident in being smooth and
riding my own race. I let the rest
of it kind of get to me."
Arizona GasGas rider Max
Gerston came away with fifth
overall with a 7-5-4 moto score.
"The first moto was a little
tough, but in the second moto,
I was a little bit more patient
during the first four laps," said
Gerston. "I just tried to keep
moving forward and just tried
to keep breathing. My goal was
a top five coming into this year,
and we got one, so I'm ready to
go do it again a few more times."
