Charlie Heyman is part of the SC Sporthomes Husqvarna team. He took the holeshot and was leading the first MX 2 race. While he was absolutely flying out in the front, Jamie Keith came from behind chasing Charlie for the lead. Jamie made the pass for the lead but was unfortunately faced with a red flag. Race two Jamie passed for the podium position with one corner to go but came together with another rider in an unfortunate crash. He leaves the weekend feeling motivated for round 3. Charlie will take the red plate heading into round 3. Ryan Waggot didn’t have the best start in race 1 and had to work hard but managed to stay consistent. Race 2 he had a better start but an unfortunate crash left him with some work to do. Consistant riding and some small adjustments to be made before the next round.
