Bonds, on the R&D Motors-
ports' Kawasaki, got off to his
worse start of the season in the
back of pack, so instead of lead-
ing the majority of the laps to
only have an issue in the end like
he had to deal with the last two
races, Bonds was faced with an
uphill battle.
"Yeah we finished one, just not
to where we wanted to finish it,"
Bonds said. "It's a good step in
the right direction. To give those
guys a minute head start from the
get-go, you're just digging your-
self a hole and it's hard to get out
of."
Bonds was up to the chal-
lenge, however, as he picked
off racers with each passing lap,
and after one hour of battling, he
charged his way into the second
spot and began to reel in Suther-
lin, but with the race shortened
by 15 minutes, he ran out of time
before the checkered flag. But
he still secured a season best
second place just over 30 sec-
onds behind Sutherlin, which
was a step in the right direction
for Bonds who has led more laps
than any other pro racer, but has
yet to take a win.
Dietrich, who used the race
to get in some training for the
upcoming outdoor motocross
Nationals, was looking to leave
with a win, but he went down two
times, which dropped him back
to fourth. He made another run
late in the race and finished out
Too many of these kept
former WORCS champ
Ricky Dietrich from getting a
possible win.
Bobby Bonds had a bit more luck
this time but had to come from way
back to finish second.
