>> Owen Covell put his KTM out front early on as he led the pack down into the gator pit. Adler Caudle was able to make the move on the back section of the course and move into the lead, immediately attempting to put the hammer down and start a disappearing act. Parker Ross was the first Co- bra in the running order as he held down 3rd position with a comfortable gap ahead of his teammate of Julien Beaumer. Meanwhile, Haiden Deegan battled back from a mediocre start as he crossed the line in 6th position on the second lap. Caudle sat in an optimal position to take the overall victory as he already had a 1st place finish in his heat race. Parker Ross put pressure on Caudle in the lead after working his way around Covell’s KTM in 2nd place. The Cobra rider pulled back time on the leader as the two blitzed through the whoops section with Deegan closely behind. The KTM Or- ange Brigade rider had a little bit of a speed advantage over his competitors, but his start hindered his ability to battle
for the lead as the gap was too big from Caudle back to 3rd place. Deegan caught up to the Cobra of Ross as the lead- ing trio came up to the finish line, but he wasn’t able to make the move. Caudle took the the win and the overall victory with 1-1 finishes and Deegan and Baumer rounded out the overall podium.
