Ryan Dungey started round 3 with another great holeshot, edging out in front of Ryan Villopoto to lead into the first corner, but the race was red flagged moments afterwards as Trey Canard and Ryan Morais collided after the first corner through one of the triple jumps.
Raptor Titanium's Ivan Tedesco took the holeshot into the first corner on the restart but then Monster Energy Kawasaki's Jake Weimar led exiting the first corner. Ryan Villopoto went down again early in the race in the third corner, reminiscent of round 2 at Phoenix.
As the field settled, Jake Weimer led with JGR Yamaha's James Stewart chasing and Two Two Motorsport's Chad Reed in third with Ryan Dungey very close behind in fourth place.
Chad Reed took Jake Weimar in lap 6 for the lead, with Weimar, Stewart and Dungey in close pursuit! In lap 7 Stewart and Dungey passed Weimar to take second and third respectively. Villopoto was left to battle his way back up the field again following his crash on the first lap.
Stewart went down in lap 12 to give Dungey second place but managed to stay ahead of Brett Metcalfe who was in fourth to retain third, however Villopoto was charging right behind them, overtaking Metcalfe in the following lap to take fourth.
Chad Reed won by five seconds in the end, with KTM Red Bull USA's and Raptor Titanium's Ryan Dungey in second , James Stewart in third and Ryan Villopoto in fourth.

Round 3, Dodgers Stadium, Oakland, CA - 2012 250 Lites AMA Supercross Main Event
It was Raptor Titanium's Eli Tomac of Geico Honda with the holeshot and the lead as they exited the first corner of the 250 Lites class Main Event. Raptor Titanium sponsored rider and Rockstar Energy Suzuki's Martin Davalos was in second, with another of our sponsored riders in third, Cosworth Yamaha's Zach Osborne. Fourth was Dean Wilson.
Tomac sprinted into the lead, eventually racking up lap times of 53 seconds (when they were struggling to get 54 second lap times in the 450 Main Event!) being comfortably out in front on lap four, with Martin Davalos in second and Osborne in third who was again looking good in supercross as he's been racing World Motocross on Raptor Titanium footpegs for the past few seasons and recovering from injury.
With Dean Wilson having moved up to third in lap 13, Marvin Musquin was looking to put a pass on him when he fell but managed to avoid injury.
Eli Tomac led Dean Wilson by over 15 seconds come the chequered flag, completing a totally dominant performance, with Wilson second and Zach Osborne in third!
