KILPATRICK
eryone wondering how me managed to accumulate a gap that large in a mere four laps. Luck, preparation, and execution my friends; ask Dirco Van Der Westhui claimed second, and Dalton Leslie, third. As the birds flew south for the winter, it was none other than Jesse Flock leading the group to begin heat number two. In search of a precise landing pad, Flock soared leaps and bounds above the rest of the field, running laptimes two, and three seconds faster than anyone else. This would act as a route on cruise control for the Tulsa, Oklahoma resident, mounting the win over North Carolina’s Devon Simonson, and fellow Tar Heel, Trey Fegert on the number nine machine. Mash- burn and Flock, quickly resumed their dual to begin the main event, “Peter” Parker spinning a web early, trying to catch Flock in his tracks. Mashburn, absolutely pinned around the off cambered roadside left, seemed to gap just a bit on that side of the raceway. However, Flock’s persistent pushing would plow through the trap, and allow him to nearly reach up within an arm’s length of the KTM. They were battling until the last lap, after Flock had set the fastest time of the moto; when the pushing ended up backfiring, and a slight bobble forced Flock back, a whopping twelve seconds from the lead. It would allow Mashburn to claim yet another victory, Flock taking second, and Simonson third.
