same in practice, as many would have a difficult time figure
out this treacherous course, yet he could be seen thriving
in the most complicated of sections. He had many particu- lar places in mind to make passes, and gain time, if and when they were needed. Rocketing out of the gate for the heat race he would pull an incredible lead! Shooting up and over the tunnel jump, and could be seen actually shifting
up before the following whoop section. Letting the chassis skip over each consecutive whoop, he would flourish, as the tops of the moguls would begin to decay. It would send him forward, where he could be found pacing the lead and look- ing to move ahead as the laps would continue to click off. Gleaming with confidence, each passing circuit, he could
be seen nodding to his mechanic and reiterating the fact that he was on pace for a successful night. Coming across the line in second, he would be positioned very nicely for a
strong start to the main event. Rolling onto the launch pad, he could be found giving a subtle nod to the referee who stood along the start straight; he was locked and eager to get things under way. The gate would fall, and it would be a storm of testosterone and raging machinery throughout the opening sequences. First place in the opening laps, the industry couldn’t believe what Wilson was doing! He would go on to lead for numerous laps, holding on for a remark- able fourteen circuits! With Stewart falling while trying to make the lead, it was now Barcia knocking at the door. A subtle combination of fatigue and adrenaline dump had Barcia moving around on lap fifteen. It was then a series of dominoes, in regards to riders moving around; with Roczen and Tomac following suit. Regardless, he would still end up with an outstanding fourth place overall, and stoked on well he rode!
