IIIMI c:leen at Wuhougel. i (216) 5L6-2553 Gregson, Benek, and Wood share the spoils at Northwest Challenge MX By AetiC)n OZ WASHOUGAL, WA, SEPT. 2 If consistency is the name of the game, and rewards are based on that fact, then the Lord smiled upon the sport as it rained again for the Northwest Challenge. Despite the fact, riders from aU over turned out for what turned out to be not a bad day at all for the mudders. All Pros had one-half hour to practice in the goo and they took advantage of the time. By the time the 125cc Pros lined up, the day was forecast - rain period; let the air out and go for it was the hot set-up. Phil Larson, Kaw Hi-point, led the first three laps before LOP-sponsored Mark Gregson (Yam) dialed it past to pull to a wide lead over the rest of the riders. Kevin Jansen (Kaw), who has ridden his share of mire, was able to hold but not gain on Gregson. He pulled a highly respectable second in the first moto. Dave Didier was the story this day behind Gregson. Riding a Yamaha, Daft made up his time in the whoops. He pulled up to Jansen but could not pall before the 50 minute flag came out. A third for the first moto was what Didier managed after a semi good start. His riding was superb_ Gregson got the second moto holeshot and never let go. Two other riders also looked very good: Gary Kuest and Dave Didier. Dave improved his first moto performance to a second in the last U5cc Pro moto. Mike McCormick (Yam) was able to come from behind to finish third and Gary Kuest was able to repeat his first moto fourth for third overall. Kevin Jansen mired his green machine to a fourth. overall and McCormick wallowed to a fifth for the day. Thirty-eight 250cc Pro riders came to the line for their first moto. Super names from all over the northwest and northern California met at the line, many for the first time, under somewhat less than ideal conditions. ... ...
