efforts mistake-free. By lap 10,
he had an infield-long lead over
the field and seemed un-catch-
able.
In the final laps, Webb finally
made his pass for third place
stick over Tremaine and was on
Brown. A last-lap pass got him
into second with Brown finishing
third.
The win gives Haaker a four-
point lead in the series over
Webb with Brown in third ten
more points back.
"I didn't get the best jump off
the start but I stayed calm in fifth
or sixth and tried to stay calm
and not make dumb mistakes
like I did in the heat race," said
Haaker. "A couple laps in I was
in a good position in second
when Cody went down. From
there I felt solid, ran out a few
laps that were fast and kept it to-
gether to cruise out for the win."
Webb rode with speed all
evening but when the main
event came, the mistakes kept
him from the win, "I was leading
and it felt like I was making little
mistakes while I tried to get in
my rhythm then I just washed out
the front end in a corner and put
myself into fourth, Webb said.
"I don't know how many times I
tipped over in the woodpile but
to come out with second is obvi-
ously good. Haaker was able to
click off laps and get out there. I
have the speed but I just need to
put it together."
Mike Brown grabbed the hole-
shot and jumped on the podium
for the first time in 2016. "The
start was the main thing tonight
to get in front of some guys and
get through the rocks every lap.
When you get the start it always
gives you an extra boost," said
Brown. "I know I don't have 15
fast laps in me as I haven't been
riding much so I'm happy with
myself sitting in third here after
the third week of riding in seven
months."
Ty Tremaine held on to finish
fourth with another fast young-
ster, Noah Kepple, busting into
the top five. Canadian Trystan
Hart rode hard to sixth and Cory
Graffunder held on for seventh.
Nick Thompson, Max Gerston
and Ty Cullins rounded out the
top 10.
In other classes, Morgan
Tanke took the exciting Women's
Class win over Morgan Tanke
and Rachel Gutish.
Spenser Wilton took the win in
the amateur class over Giuliano
Rolandi and Cody Miller. In the
Vet class, David Stirm took the
main event win over Dan Hay-
akawa and Wayne Dickert. CN
