What an epic class, the biggest class of the day fulled with young kids with no fear!
Moto 1 DustmxAcademy rider Kyle Bangerter, second race in the C class got off to a great start and was mixing it until a few mistakes and a bad shoulder slowed him down but he is showing true grit. Nathan Anderson got out to the early lead, Anderson only a year ago lost out in the D class series championship by 4 points. Has taken his riding to another level, he pulled a decent gap mid way through the race but ended up dropping the bike and restarting in the back of the pack.This left Raymond Johnson out front to take the win followed by Jason Gillespie and a hard charging Cameron Fasnacht who came back from a terrible start.
Moto 2
A huge battle with Raymond Johnson, Jason Gillespie, Tharsis Andrade  an Cameron Fasnacht.
Johnson had the lead with Gillespie hot on his heals trying all kinds of lines, Andrade was right in the mix waiting for a mistake. A lot of people ruled out Fasnacht due to his start again unable to get off the concrete. Fasnacht picked his way through rider after rider he eventually put a great pass on Johnson on the last lap for the win. However Johnson had the overall with a 2-1 Fasnacht second 3-1 Gillespie third 2-3


450 D

DustmxAcademy riders Peter Sorensen and Kyle Smorenburg were both looking to top the tables and it started great for Sorensen who had the holeshot. He managed to get a good gap after two laps Smorenburg however struggled with his start he got into second and had some time to make up. He closed right in but Sorensen rode his own lines at his own speed and never cracked under the pressure to take the win Smorenburg was second  with Roberto Guzman (lococross) in a well desrved third
moto 2
Roberto Guzman had the holeshot after one lap he still had the lead he was fighting as hard as he could until he ran tired. Sorensen took the lead this time Smorenburg was close behind and made the pass for the lead though he would drop the bike pick it up and find himself in second. Sorensen feeling the affects of the rough track nearly crashing twice gave the position up to Smorenburg, and Smorenburg would crash again this time he was no able to pass Sorensen who went 1-1 Smorenburg 2-2 Guzman 3-4


DNA Challenge

What a race for those there to witness it i'm sure you cant wait for the next round..
Derek Hall once again grabbed the holeshot from the outside and launched his way over the first ski jump, somehow Zack  Freeberg managed to get his 250f into second place Donald Solley would be in third. Hall would set a blistering  pace which would separate those three from the rest. Solley would get by Freeberg and set his sights on Hall, Hall for the second week in a row just got the bike that day with no practice started to make some mistakes. Then just before the finish line Hall bobbled in the whoops Solley saw the opportunity and got slightly inside of Hall to make the pass. Those few mistakes slowed both and Hall and Solley down going into the final turn, Hall Started to square off the turn to try get Solley back., but Freeberg with a good drive through the whoops came right up the inside of both the riders. Hall was able to avoid all contact and still square the corner up Freeberg would come together with Solley forcing him over the berm.

Hall not having the traction he needed up the inside settled into second behind Freeburg. Solley did not go down and went on hot pursuit of the two riders ahead of him, he would get by what would seem to be a tiring Hall, Freeberg was doing his best to pull away though you could see the 250f just lagging in the deep sand corners. Solley every lap around the outside line leading to the middle table top seemed to close in on Freeberg, he would eventually use this and jump right next to Freeberg, Solley just about inline with Freeberg off the jump with the inside line and 450 power, needless to say he was wanting pay back and ran Freeberg up the berm.
As they came round to complete another lap the same turn Freeberg made the move on Hall and Solley he missed his line and went over the top. Freeberg kept it on two wheels and set after Solley.
Solley had a good pace going although something happened over in the back and Freeberg cam out in first with Solley around 15 seconds back. The race would end up with Freeberg 1st, Solley 2nd, Hall 3rd, Ian Chia 4th and Derek Borque 5th

DNA challenge

Derek Hall who came out of no where showed up borrowed Donnie Delgado's bike smoked the holeshot from the outside! He would lead the first few laps followed by Donald Solley and Zack Freeberg  giving chase, Hall's fitness not up to par from being out for so long and Freeberg turning lap times that are fit for nationals. He made his way to the front. Solley would pass Hall, but Hall stuck on his back wheel, relaxed himself and found an extra wind he would pass Solley with all that going on Freeberg who had pulled a big lead managed to disapear, bike failure! So Derek Hall after all  the laps were counted pulled one out the bag to show everyone his ability for the win. Solley was second and Brandon Westbury third
