In moto number two, RV grabbed the holeshot to kick things off, and proceeded to lead all 17 laps of the race. "The track was really rough," said Villopoto after the race. "Being sand, you could go just about anywhere you wanted, but obviously there was one fast line. The last two races I&apos;ve made mistakes here and there, so coming into Southwick, I really wanted to win the overall because I&apos;ve never done that here." Villopoto&apos;s Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki teammate Brett Metcalfe also had a good day at Southwick, going 2-3 ...

With two full rounds of action still to go in the 2008 series, RV needed only to put in a sub par (for him) performance to lock up the title early at Spring Creek MX Park. In moto number one, Villopoto rocketed out to another brilliant start, and went on to lead every lap of the race for a convincing win. Needing only to finish eighth or better in moto two to capture the title, RV&apos;s luck appeared to have momentarily run out, as the Vans phenom crashed on lap number one and was forced to start the ...
