By Clay Ught
ALBANY, OR, OCT. 26
Washington speedsters Scott
Tyler and Jamie Munson dominated during Professional
action at the opening race of the
1986-87 Motocross Northwest-sanctioned season at Albany Supercross.
_Tyler won the Open and 250cc Pro
events while Munson finished second
to Tyler in the 250cc class and took a
win in the 125cc Pro event.
Rain all week long made the sandy
track a to~1 quagmire. Over two
inches of rain fell Sunday, including
heavy rain as the 80cc B class gated
for moto one. Ryan Huffman stayed
on two wheels the longest to emerge
the winner in moto one after 10
soupy laps while Danny U1ven, Adam
West, Travis Markell and Rich
Browning filled the top five. In the
second contest it was .Huffman and
Ulven dueling for the lead until Huffman lost his machine in "Leachs
Lake" and dropped to third where he
would finish behind overall winner
Ulven and Markell.
In the 80cc C class, consistency
paid off for Kawasaki rider Chad
McVay, who posted 4-2 rides to nab
the overall win. The first moto was
topped by Mel Stanerson over Troy
Kibble and Yamaha-mounted Monty
Harris. The st~('ond lime out saw Les
Shellhous nab the moto win but, just
like moto one winner Stanerson, finished way back in his other moto and
placed McVay into the winners circle.
The Ope\l machines had very little
dif£iculty circulating the 2.0-mile
course and were led by Yamaha support rider Tyler in the first moto 6f
combined ProlB action. Local rider
Wes Hanson was lone Pro, Tyler's
closest competition, nearly a half lap
down, ht'a
