this track; it was awesome!"
Bonneur added, "I kept seeing
Jason in the switchbacks and stuff.
I was trying to catch him, trying to
catch him. We were really close one
lap, then I caught him in one of the
tighter sections, the sandy stuff. He
kind of had trouble over a log and I
got around him and that was kind of
the last I saw of him."
For Thomas, The Troll was a mat-
ter of gauging his race fitness after
his big crash at round five in July.
"The last round I was still hurt so
went to basically start then pull off in
order to get some points," he said.
"This round, I felt good for the first
lap then I snapped the hydraulic line
for the clutch so I had no clutch. If it
wasn't a 200, I wouldn't have been
able to finish the race. I struggled
through and was able to come away
with a third."
The best race of the day took
(Left) Cody Barnes had a
comparatively light work
day in Council Bluffs, riding
and winning only one class:
Lite B. That's because he'd
raced and won four classes
the night before back home
in Illinois.
(Bottom left) Darren Carlson
not only won Open A for
the fifth time this season,
the class points leader also
was the first A rider overall,
finishing ninth.
The always crowded Pro 2 class
found local rider Stan Gregory (830)
getting a good jump off the line to
challenge Heresco (412).
