followed by Rolen, Woods and
Richards. By the end of lap two,
Richards worked her way up to
second and Tricker, who was
buried back in the pack off the
start, quickly caught up to third
followed by Rolen. While Fasnacht
set the pace out front, Richards
and Tricker started trading second
and third place positions. Tricker
eventually got by Richards and
made it stick, setting her sights on
Fasnacht, but the current WMX
Champion was too far in front to
reel in and took the overall win.
Tricker finished second, Richards
third and Rolen put in a solid, con-
my results," said Tricker. "I won
my heat and took second in the
main. I got off to a bad start but
made it to second place and
then I actually got passed and
was third for a few laps, but then
made it back to second. All in all
it was fun to race and I had an
okay weekend."
"My main event went pretty
well," said Richards, who splits
her time between racing WMX,
WORCS and the Big 6 series.
"I was fourth off the start and
made my way up to second, but
I was struggling a little bit in the
whoops and fell back to third.
Overall it was a pretty good race
and fun to do."

and Jamie Astudillo, who took
a serious header in the whoops
during her heat race and soldiered
through a wrist/hand injury to earn

"It was awesome to switch it
up for the weekend and get to
race an Arenacross event," said
Fasnacht. "Going to an Aren-
across format was a change,
but I loved it and I hope we get a
chance to do it again."
