than 10 seconds on the lengthy
National track. He led every lap of
moto one and easily claimed the
win. Carson Brown finished sec

ond on his custom Suzuki RM300
with Oliveira in third.
Race two looked like a car
-
bon copy, as Drake again found
himself up front and running
away with the lead. After leading
the first six laps and stretching
his lead to 10 seconds, Drake's
bike let go with a mechanical
failure and forced him out of the
race. A 1-34 result dropped him
to 16th overall. This now meant
the battle was on for the lead
as Oliveira and fellow off-roader
Dare DeMartile found themselves
at the front of the field. Oliveira
went on to take the checkers,
using 3-1 finishes to claim the
overall win. DeMartile finished
second in moto two, followed
by his Beta teammate, Bryson
Gardener. DeMartile's 4-2 result
earned him second overall, with
Carson Brown's 2-4 score slotting
him into third overall for the day.
"Two terrible starts in both
motos, but I got to work through
the pack and made some battles,"
Oliveira said. "I got a little gift
there in the second one. Derek
Drake was riding awesome in
both motos. That [Drake's me

chanical] put me in the right spot
to take the lead. But, yeah, what
an awesome day."
The other pro classes were
also action-packed, like the Pasha
Racing 125cc Pro division, which
saw a hefty cash payout. Moto

cross Action's Josh Mosiman
started back in fifth but passed
his way into the lead during the
first 125 Pro moto and beat KTM's
Ryan Morais by more than five
seconds. Mosiman bounced back
with a better start in race two
and led most of the moto before
ultimately finishing second to
Brandon Ray. Still, Mosiman's 1-2
earned him the overall win and the
$2500 payday ahead of Morais'
2-3 and Kai Aiello's 5-4.
Morais found better luck in
the 30+ 125cc Pro class, as
he swept both motos ahead of
Steven Tokarski's 2-2 and Sean
