VOL. 55 ISSUE 3 JANUARY 23, 2018 P29 the 40-mile transfer to the final two tests. Tremaine got out to an early start, winning test one but Oliveira would strike back, winning the next three tests in a row. Norman, who said he was actually feeling even better on day two, only topped the final test of the day, dropping him into third overall with a combined time of 1:36:31. Tremaine finished out the day only two seconds be- hind Oliveira, giving him second overall with a combined time of 1:36:30. Oliveira topped the charts at the end of two long days of racing, taking the over- all win with a combined time of 1:36:13. Hart would wrap up the day a little off-pace, coming through with fourth overall and a time of 1:36:39. Destry and Cooper Abbott are one of several father/son teams going after qualifying this year. Destry finished out the weekend winning the E4 (40+) class, marking his first race back since completing his leukemia treatment. "It was an amazing feeling to be back racing in the desert again (almost two years)!" said Abbott. It seems he's back on pace, as he finished fourth and fifth on days one and two, respectively. Cooper Abbott was kindly instructed not to outshine dear ol' dad, and it seems he was nice enough to oblige, finishing eighth and sixth. Though it might not be much longer before the 20-year- old steals the spotlight from his 10- time desert champion father.
