riders face off. As with every race
this season, Webb and Haaker
faced off in the final. Haaker got
the jump on the start but Webb
made an aggressive pass in the
rock pile to take over the lead. He
succeeded in holding off Haaker
all the way to the finish, giving
Webb a bonus point to offset the

The start of the main event was
chaotic as Haaker did a nose
wheelie into the first turn when
he locked bars with another rider.
Hart came out of turn one with the
lead ahead of Spain's Joan Pau

in the wood pit on lap one to drop
to the back of the 15-rider field.

20-year-old Trystan Hart on the
SRT Off-Road-backed Husqvarna.
Hart has been on fire this year

challenging Webb and Haaker.
The top 13 Super EnduroCross
riders earned their way into the gate-

races, and Haaker took the win
to earn the bonus point. He had a
back-and-forth battle with Webb and
just when it appeared that Webb
was going to take the top spot, he
went down in the river rock section
to allow Haaker to take over the lead
and win.
The bracket race groups the
top 12 riders into single-lap head-
to-head battles until the final two
