450 OVERALL RACE RESULTS // THUNDER VALLEY

Jett lead the pack into turn one with Grant Harlan in second, Dylan Ferrandis third and Adam Ciancairulo fourth. Ferrandis, Cianciarulo, and the two factory KTM riders made their way past the privateer Harlan.

The Factory guys started to find their place with Jett gone, Adam being pressured by Aaron and Cooper and Dylan battling it out.

What a surprise out of Ty Masterpool who passed Adama and Dylan for fourth place. Ty then started to close in on Cooper Webb and then passed him to take third place. By the end of the race, Ferrandis got back by Masterpool for third place.

What a great race for the privateers of Masterpool and Harlan.

Jett was unstoppable, again. 

Again it was Jett Lawrence who captured the holeshot with Cooper Webb in second. On the first laps Dylan Ferrandis and Aaron Plessinger came together and went down. The two Suzuki riders of Derek Drake and Freddie Noren were fourth and fifth in the opening laps.

Nine laps in Jet was climbing to a 20 second lead with Cooper Webb in second and Adam Cianciarulo in third.

Aaron Plessinger came all the way back to fifth place with close to 10 minutes left in the moto. Ty Masterpool who crashed in the first turn started from last place and was stocking AP. Both AP and Masterpool blew by Derek Drake for fourth and fifth.

With two laps to go Webb washed out the front end all by himself letting Adam get on his tail.

Lawrence won by over 30 second with Webb, Cianciarulo, Plessigner and Masterpool rounding out the top 5.
