The National Grand Prix Championship culminated its season in Lake Havasu for the tenth round of the year. Dare DeMartile and his technician Jason Soracco got to the track Saturday for practice. They worked on getting the suspension dialed in to match the sand rollers and the specific terrain of the course. On Sunday the race started at 12:45 pm. DeMartile got a bit pinched at the start but was running in 5th place early on. At the beginning of the 2nd lap, while battling another rider, Dare missed the pit entrance which caused him to drop to 12th place. He was able to regain his composure and charge back up to 5th place to end the race.

“Havasu was gnarly! Unfortunately, I had a bike problem on Saturday at the beginning of practice. We got the bike figured out and went back out but then I ended up crashing so we called it for practice. Sunday race day got off to an okay start. I made a mistake the first lap that let some people pass. I just put my head down and raced back from 8th to 5th overall.”
