Early Promise for KTM Lite Riders
28 May 2008
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.
