slick. Cody just kind of worked
me a little bit in the enduro test,
but I got it back on him in the
cross test. In the last enduro test,
we matched each other, but he
got the win for the day, which
kind of bummed me out. I was
hoping to win both days, but I got
the overall victory, which is cool."

Team Landers' Grant Davis was
all the way down in ninth at the
end of Saturday. A thumb injury
put a damper on his first day's
performance. At the end of the
two-day event, however, Davis
finished second overall and first
in the Pro 2 division.
"Thursday, I crashed and hurt
my thumb. And yesterday in the
first test, I hurt it badly again,"
said Davis. "I was just dealing
with a lot of pain all weekend. To
-
day, I'm like, 'I can't let these boys
beat me,' so I came out swinging.
I just got the pain out of my mind
and just tried hard all day, and I
gained it back. I just tried to stay
smooth and try not to make any
dumb mistakes. I was a little bit
slower than Cody. He got me, but
next time I can't let this happen.
I've got to beat him."

Tino. "As far as the racing, I usu

It was hard-packed and

the second and third tests were
just as slick as it was Saturday.
