Ryan Villopoto grabbed the holeshot, and that was that. It was almost alarming how quickly he began to pull away from Chad Reed, Ryan Dungey, Stewart and the rest of the packed 450 class.
“It was a phenomenal night for me,” said Villopoto. “I didn’t have the heat race I wanted, so I didn’t have a great gate pick. Once I was out front I wanted to lay down fast laps and make no mistakes. I did make one small one, but overall, it was a great race for me.”
After twenty seemingly flawless laps, Ryan Villopoto finished over twelve seconds ahead of second place.
Villopoto, Reed, and Dungey was the final finishing order after A1.
