Briefly...
two transfer spots for the main event
during the LCQ. Abbott made an ag-
gressive pass on Redmond to take
the lead on the final lap, but the in-
side line created a bad entry into the
pro-only rock lane, which caused
Abbott to lose traction and tumble

to ride that momentum after finishing
second in his heat race. The Factory

it all together in the main event, but
multiples falls in the rocks relegated
him to a sixth-place finish.

Roper missed the event to compete
in the National Trials in Pennsylvania.
