Elwood coo, at CallahanMX By Gwen Millan CALLAHAN, FL, JULY 5 Kenneth Elwood was the star of the new Callahan MX track, as he showed the 125c A and B cla ses his way of conquering the clay/dirt combination suface at thestart of the FMC ummer Series.

On lap two McQuaig went down, letting Peterson come from third to first place. Cok r was second, and Elwood was able to salvage third. Millan was down on an inside turn, allowing four or five riders to pass him. Getting back into control, Elwood was able to get back into first place spot by the fourth lap with Peterson, McQuaig and Randy Langford hot in pursuit. Coker seemed to be tiring out and was holding fifth. The next lap Millan made a move on .coker and chased har.d after Langford. Lapped riders were not in the picture, making passing on an already tight track even more difficult. The race remained the same as Elwood claimed the victory. The second moLO was again Elwood and Peter on in the A class, and Millan and Langford fighting it out for the B cia s lead. Mc Quaig, John Gentilcore and Coker were following in a tight threesome.
