The site of the first hard split provided an incident that earned 17-year-old 0Un0 HiJls resident
Jeff Wynn with one of the three awards given at
dinner Saturday night.
Wynn was riding with his neighbors Jim and
Jaclcie Nicholson and Jaclcie's brother, Mike Burgi.
When Jackie took a wrong tum on her Honda
XR2OO, Burgi set out to track her down. Just as
Burgi, 30, of Lakewood, was getting back to the
course, Wynn rode up the trail looking for him
and the two Suzu1ci RM2SO pilots met.
"I turned to go up and Mike was going
down," Wynn said. "He hit sand and his Iront tire
slid and he fell over. Before I could do anything I
ran over him.,.
Wynn's trip over Burgi's shoulder merited
him the -Charles Manson Award" for running
e
down his friend.
Vann Gibson (22) led from start to finish in both +30 A class motos at nevil's Ridge.
