The 10-6-7 result gave him eighth on the night, and he is currently ninth in 250SX West rider point standings.
“I was looking to flip the switch this week,” said Mosiman. “I haven’t been myself the past two weeks. I was feeling really good after practice. I ripped the start in the first moto but got pushed wide and didn’t ride aggresively enough. I think I have the speed, so it’s just a matter of putting it together. It’s insane how fast these guys go, but I’m able to do it.”
