In the 450 class, Thor’s Broc Tickle put together his best performance in the premier class, earning an impressive second overall. Also putting in a good ride was Jake Weimer, who finished fourth overall. Weimer proved he was a fighter after running a great second moto despite a decent blow to the chest from a rock on the opening lap of the second moto. He still fought back to finish and score a 3-4 moto result. Brett Metcalfe put together a strong sixth-place overall finish with an 8-6 moto result. Ivan Tedesco, in the 250 class, ran a great first moto finishing eighth, but a crash in the second moto ended his day early.
