the red plate yet again, he would have accomplished the mission so to speak. After providing a solid showcase in practice, he would become suited up for the heat race, ready to do whatever was needed to
get to the main event. Third off the line, he would latch onto his teammate Dylan Ferrandis rather quickly,
hoping to take note of some of his lines. Noticing his outside line through both particular whoop sections,
they would begin to move by RJ Hampshire one by one.

rather than purely on victory. If the win came, it would occur; but if not, and he could walk away with
Riding in a tandem of sorts, he wanted to leave a little up his sleeve, in regards to display in front of Ferrandis; he would come across the line second, behind Dylan at the stripe. He was just where he needed to be to begin the main event, quickly pacing
the number ninety-two of Cianciarulo who was in front of him. Gaining little by little on the Pro Circuit veteran, he begin to really make some noise within the first few laps. Gaining through both particular whoop pads, he would nearly put his front wheel into the engine casing of Cianciarulo, in the left-hander just after the second portion. Being the clean rider that he is, he would let Cianciarulo slide by, and take his place back within the runner-up slot. It was then Ferrandis who wanted to join the party, knocking on the door of Nichols rather aggressively. Pushing Nichols wide, Ferrandis would nearly shove the Yamaha teammate off the circuit prior the final whoop section, yet they would remain upright and nearly glued together. Dylan would however, make his way around in the sand section, forcing Nichols back to third. With Shane McElrath now closing in, it was imminent that Colt stay in front of the KTM; and he would do so, rallying until the final flag would wave. Positioning himself into third, he would take the last step on the podium, and a solid amount of points moving forward.
