Flores finished fourth overall despite his displacement handicap, and topped the small-bore division. "This really isn't for me," said the South Bay Yamaha/jT-sponsored rider. "This was my first desert race and I don't think I'll do it any more. The course was all right, but it was pretty rough and really long after the motocross races I'm used to. It was so rough illy seat came 0(( on the second lap." Fifth overall went to District 38 ace Robbie Nolin on a YZ250. "Overall I guess it was a pretty good race, but it was real long and tough, and there was an awful lot of dust," said Nolin. "This is my first time ever in this race and I think I made it tougher mentally than it really was. I expected it to be really hard so I held 0(( and by the time I realized that I wasn't tired it was too late." Nolin was (ollowed in by Hondamounted joey "Gee, it's great to finish in the top 10" Lane, Honda rider Todd Barnhill, and Todd McCay. Roeseler came home ninth overall. "I got a workout, 'mat's for sure," the dethroned King told Cycle News. "I was pushing hard and the terrain down here is really difficult. It's just sand but it's pretty choppy with sharp ledges and you have to be really ballsy in the fast stuff. But I've always enjoyed the race and it's good just to finish down here." . Tenth overall went to Vet Expert Honda rider Bill Lyons, who came on strong after a slow start to steal the lead from Ruhstofer late on lap four. • Results OVERAll: 1. Garth Sweetland (Hus); 2.
