LOS BANOS, CA,jULY4
Honda-m o unted jeff Pestana celebra ted h is
Fourth of july wee kend by se tting off his own
fireworks in th e Bounty Hunter main eve nts .
Pestana to p ped bo th fea t u res Satu rday a n d
Sunday at the Las Banos Fairg ro unds. Suzuki
r iders Pa t Ben nett a nd Ru st y Ho lland, and
Honda-mounted Butch Smith were the only rid ers who were able to keep Pestana in sight all
weeke nd long.
When the Bounty Hunter riders took to the
track in Saturday's feature, local ride r john Cook
jumped out in to the early lead . Cook 's lead lasted for.only one lap, when Greg Allen took control and began to pull away.
Pestana, mea nwhile, man aged to move up
front by climbing up from 10th to seventh on the
first lap, then to fifth a lap later. During the next
three laps, Holland sl ow ly closed in on Allen,
while Pestana contin ued to climb a nd eventually
closed the ga p on Holland. On the sixth la p,
Hollan d go t by Allen, then Pestana passed Allen
a lap after !ha L
Fo r the nex t sever a l laps, Pestana a nd
Holland battled for the lead and were never separated by more than three bike len gths.
With only four laps to go, Pestana made his
move in the fini sh line tum, driving Holland
high on the berm and then executing a textbook
block pass to take the lead .
The move seemed to take the wind out of
Ho lland's sails, because tw o laps later, Pat
Bennett was able to use the same move to take
over second. Bennett then sta rted to fly after
Pes ta n a but the la st lap flag came out and
Ben nett was ab le to close to wit hi n five bike
lengths befo re the checkered waved for the
Honda rider.. Pestana took a popula r wi n followed by Bennett then Holla nd wi th Allen an d
Boykin filling out the top five.
In Sunday' s Bounty Hunter. feature, Nathan
Woods nailed the holeshot and led for three laps
before bobbling and turning the lead over to
Aaron Cantrelle. Cantrelle soon began to dazzle
the crowd by jumping across the big supercross
double on his 125cc Suzuki. No other 125ccmounted rider attempted the leap and not all of
the 250cc riders were clearing it, either..
On lap two, Bennett, who had started in
ninth place, laid it down in a high speed sweeper a nd dropped almost half a lap behind the
leaders before getting back underway. Once
upright again, Bennett began turn ing in the
fastest lap time of the night and started reeling
in the leaders. Meanwhile, Pestana was quickly
working his way toward the front, and by lap
six had pulled into second. By this time Holland
had taken the lead a way from Cantrelle as the
real acrobatics had taken its toll on the Suzuki
piioL Cantrelle dropped even farther back to finish an eventual fifth. With Cantrelle gone
Pestana now concentrated on Holland and soon
was on the Suzuki's rear fender. Their battle
lasted for two laps before Holland caved in to
the Honda rider's charge and slid out at the fmis h line turn, handing the lead to Pestana .
Holland 's problems were not over, however, as
he was also passed by Bennett and Smith before
getting underway. Bennett still maintained his
torrid pace and started to slowly close in on
Pestana.
On the final lap, Bennett let it all ha ng out
and reeled in Pesta na only to see the checkered
flag wave for the rider five bike lengths in front
of him Pestana punched the air in victory much
to the delight of the crowd. Bennett's second
pla ce finish enabled him to gain some ground
on series points leader Smith, who finished third
ahead of a tired Holland.
