muscled his way past and into the lead.
Once into the point, Chamberlain established an immediate lead by skimming
the tops of a long set of stadium rockers.
Decker suffered another mediocre
start and was forced to come from mid
pack. By the fourth lap, though, Decker
had slithered into second and began to
close the gap between himself and
Chamberlain.
With that, it looked to be a repeat of
the first mota as the two ridets again
pulled well-clear of the rest of the pack.
With four laps to go, Decker looked
ready to make his move, but suddenly
went flying over the bars after a small
double jump.
"Chamberlain crossed my line and 1
had to slam on the front brake," said
Decker. "The front end washed out and
1 went over the bars."
Decker remounted in sixth, but his
motorcycle was badly damaged.
"The bars were bent pretty bad and
the sub frame was tweaked," said
Decker.
Decker went as fast as he could
aboard his bent motorcycle and worked
up to fifth at the finish behind winner
Chamberlain, Manley, Antunez and
Mike Metzger.
Chamberlain was uncontested for the
overall win over Manley, Antunez and
Decker.
"1 saw the crowd jump up and I
knew that something had happened to
Decker," said Chamberlain. "After that 1
just mncentrated on riding smooth."
Decker redeemed himself with the
overall win in the 12See Pro class.
In the first mota, Decker started seventh but worked into the lead. Decker
scored the win over Young,
Chamberlain, Dana Wiggins and
Metzger.
The second mota saw Clowers lead
the way for the first six laps, but
Chamberlain and Decker raged past and
into the top two slots. Chamberlain
pushed his Kawasaki hard, perhaps too
hard, in an effort to hold Decker off.
Chamberlain's machine began to pop
and sputter as he raced towards the finish line. Chamberlain coasted across the
finish line with the win, inches ahead of
Decker and a distant Clowers, Wiggins
and Spud Walters.
"My bike seized at the finish line, I'm
lucky that it stayed together that long,"
said Chamberlain.
Decker's 1-2 finishes were good
enough to nab the overall win, edging
Chamberlain's 3-2.
Jiri Dostal destroyed the competition
in the 80cc Intermediate class aboard his
CSA Airline/Bill's Pipes-sponsored
Suzuki. Dostal romped off with a pair of
uncontested-mota wins ahead of Scott
Conley, Josh Harrington, Jerry Aleman
and Terrance Malan.
Jimmy Varis flew to the overall win
in the 80cc Novice class with a 3-1 mota
scorecard. Sean Hamblin,' Danny
Montoya and Billy Payne led Varis in
the first mota, but Payne dropped out of
contention with a broken chain.
Hamblin went on for the win, while
Montoya fended off Varis for second.
Varis took control of the second mota
aboard his Cycle Engineering-backed
Suzuki and never looked back. Payne
finished a distant second, while Mark
Tilley rounded out the top three.
Nick Alvarez was untouchable in the
Pee Wee Stock class, and he easily won
both motos. Jason Ciarietta and Cale
Wallace battled in both matos, with
Ciarletta getting the nod.
Chad Gaulmer finished fourth overall, and celebrated his eighth birthday in
style when he won a Yamaha PWSO that
was raffled off by GFI Sports at the end
of the day. The top five finisherS in each
of the Pee Wee classes were entered in
the raffle.
(l\"
Tyson Kady (3n and Casey Johnson (125) battled in the 250cc Intermediate class and finished third and second, respectively.
Pee Wee Stock class winner Nick Alvarez won a Yamaha PWSO supplied by GFI Sports.
