As the gate dropped for moto one of the Motocross Lites class all three MDK KTM riders hopped out front off the gate. Unfortunately their bout toward the front end of the pack would be short-lived as they were cut off at the first turn and pushed back near the bottom twenty. By the end of lap one, Matt Goerke had moved into 11th position, followed by his teammate Ryan Sipes in 13th and Justin Brayton in 20th. As time ticked on, they charged hard to move through the pack. Soon Goerke and Sipes were side by side in 11th and 12th. Sipes passed Goerke to take the 11th place position. Goerke stayed close by until he made a few mistakes causing him to lose a couple positions as he moved down into 14th. At the end of moto one, Sipes finished a hard fought 12th, Goerke was two positions back in 14th and Brayton worked his way up from near last to 17th.
In Motocross Lites moto two, Ryan Sipes' luck changed as he charged forward to come around the first turn in 4th. His teammate, Goerke, was immediately behind him in 5th. Unfortunately, Brayton got pinched off again at the start and came around in 39th. By lap 4 Sipes had moved into 3rd after passing Dan Reardon. Goerke had begun to slip back into 7th while Brayton was busy plowing through traffic now sitting in 23rd. After a strong race Sipes managed to finish a solid 7th for the moto, Goerke hung on inside the top ten to finish 9th while Brayton worked up from his bad starting place of 39th to 16th. After combining both moto scores, Sipes finished a respectable 9th overall, followed by Goerke in 11th and Brayton in 16th.
