In the Lites, Dean Wilson lived up to his role as favorite after a bad race last week. Wilson took advantage in the opening lap between Rattray and Musquin for the lead and then took off like a rocket to win his first West SX. Musquin remained a strong second and he also finished on the podium for the first time in an AMA SX competition. Rattray finished third and takes over the lead in the standings from Cole Seeley, who finished fifth today. After a strong start, Zach Osbourne finished sixth in the final, Max Anstie finished ninth.
