By Athie Sanders
DADE CITY, FL, MAY 3
Jeff Pingel and Chuck Sybert
were just two of the riders who
took overall wins in their respective classes in the sixth
round of Dade City Raceway's Points
Championship MX Series.
Pingel nailed the 250cc C mota one
holeshot and pulled away as Jeff
Warrington and Todd Colbert gave
chase. Warrington closed in on Pingel's rear tire and pushed. As they
were about to lap riders, Pingel looked
for an open line in an attempt to
escape Warrington's pressure. Pingel
came off the doubles £lying by Bill
Petitt, bending Petitt slightly out of
shape. He veered towards Warrington slowing him down momentarily.
giving Pingel the needed edge. Warrington lost no time as he mounted a
drive to close up the gap; he was once
again on Pingel's tail Pingel nailed
his Kawasaki to the pegs as he fought
to keep his lead. He led Warrington
in for the win with Todd Willimson,
Mike Rogers and Fred Pree taking
third through fifth respectively.
Pingel holeshot moto two as well,
just ahead of Warrington. Williamson, David MarshaU and John Burger
moved ahead of Warrington to fall in
behind Pingel. Marshall dropped
back, and as they went across the finish line, it was Pingel, followed by
Williamson, Burger, Warrington and
Rogers. Williams 3-2 moto finishes
netted him second overall, Warrington managed the third overall with
his 2-4 mota finishes.
Chuck Sybert holeshot the first
125cc B class moto while K.C. Wood
and Jeff Finkhousen battled for the
second exi t from the tum. Finkhousen
charged through, claiming the position. The two leaders pulled away,
but Finkhousen bit the dust coming
outofa turn,aBowingWood, Darren
Vendetti and Blane Armbruster to
charge by before he could get back on
the gas. Finkhousenplayedcateh up,
but best he could finish was fifth.
Sybert held on for the win with
Wood, Armbruster and Ricky Ham pshire following.
Barney's Yamaha-sponsored Finkhousen said, "I was right up there,
but just slid out. The track is sandy
and slick tongiht, and I just lost traction. Chuck Sybert is a good rider. It
would have been hard to challenge
him, but I would have liked to have
tried."
In moto two Sybert was in a fairly
comfortable lead from start to finish
with Hampshire, Finkhousen, Wood
and Armbruster following, Just before
the white £lag came out, Firtkhousen
moved into second when Hampshire
