The Lites class provided a lot of entertainment to the Glen Helen Motocross fans as they witnessed many battles ensue throughout the entire pack
In the first moto, MDK KTM Lites rider Ryan Sipes came around the first turn in 2nd, while his teammates Matt Goerke and Justin Brayton were involved in a large first turn pile up. Brayton recovered in 29th but Goerke had difficulty starting his bike which caused him to start ¾ of a lap down. Around the halfway point Sipes was still up front battling for a top five position when his bike suffered an electronic issue which kept him from finishing the race. Meanwhile, Brayton and Goerke were busy trying to pass on the fast one-lined track. At the end of the race, Brayton had moved from 29th to finish 17th while Goerke worked his way into 28th.
In moto two, Sipes was the first KTM in view, coming around the second turn in 11th, Brayton and Goerke were slightly farther back in 19th and 20th. Sipes quickly moved into 8th and held that position until the fifth lap when he crashed, losing six positions. He remounted near his teammates who helped push him to get back up front. By the end of the race, Goerke had advanced the furthest finishing 13th, then Brayton in 15th and Sipes in 17th. With both moto scores combined Brayton was able to earn 16th overall, Goerke finished 18th and Sipes finished 23rd.
