to race , but I knew I was going to give it a go . It went okay . Yesterday was all right . With it being dry I was able to kind of just ride smooth and kind of manage it . Then today with the rain it made it a lot tougher on the shoulder . I lost my rear brakes the beginning of the last test . Pretty much had to ride without rear brakes , and then obviously with not having much upper body strength it was quite difficult . Overall , the plan was to at least show up and get decent points .”
Draper turned in an excellent ride on Sunday and finished out the weekend with fourth overall , just four seconds behind Michael .
“ It was a really good weekend for me ,” said Draper . “ I finally found myself riding up to what I know how to ride . Yesterday was good . I was close with the boys all day . Then today I rode really well . Me and Layne came down to the last test . He got me by four seconds for the weekend .”
Devlin , who is still adjusting to a four-stroke , was second in the Pro 2 class with a fifth overall finish .
“ I rode really well this weekend , as I ’ m trying to progress and learn the four-stroke ,” said Devlin . “ I rode pretty well yesterday , but I messed it up today . I lost too much time . Pretty disappointed in myself how I rode today , but happy to be second .”
