Avera, Lundy double at
MX ofMarion County
By Kyle Myers
REDDICK. FL,JULY 11
More than 155 riders turned o ut ror the 17th
round of the Florida MX Cl ub Series at MX or
Mario n County, and when it was all over, two
riders had recorded double-class victories. Sean
Avera scored w ins in the 15-24 a nd 125cc class,
while john Lun dy did the same in the 25+ and
30+ d ivisions.
In one of the mor e p opular classes, Avera
rounded the first tum in second pla ce in the 17
rider strong 15-24 class. Steve Dumond led the
way , but his advantage would only last until the
second lap when jeff Neilander, who had earlier
passed Avera , slipped by Dumond ror the numbe r· on e p os ition . Shortly thereafter, Avera
nipped Dumond ror second, the n Avera set arter
the leader, Neilander. Avera and Neilander battled for the lead until Avera passed Neilande r in
a comer. From that point on, the moto was all
Avera's, as he moved out to a four-second lead .
Neilande r he ld on ro r seco n d , while M ike
Decker finished third after slip p ing by Dumond.
Avera rocketed into the lead to start the second moto ahead of jacob Fogg. Doug Watson.
Dave Wincott and Decker. Fogg quickly shot by
Avera for the lead on the opening lap . Watson
and Wincott battled for third until Wincott went
d ow n ta ki ng Decke r w ith him. Th is moved
Jason Peres into fourth with Wincott remounting
in firth . Meanwhile, Fogg motored away from
the pack to take a seemingly easy win. but a 12th
pl ace finish in the first m oto relega ted him to
sevent h overall. Avera, who fini shed second,
scored the overall win ahead or Watson, Peres
and Wincott.
Later in the da y, Avera returned to the track
and wo n both 125cc motos.
Lundy was unt ouchable in the 25+ and 30+
classes. H e led almost every lap in all fou r
motos. Tom Dixon was the runner-up to Lund y
in the 25+ class, and j imbo Hayes followed
Lundy home in the 30+ division.

Lancast er Sport Cycles /Pro-Circuit-backed
jeromy Buehl captured his second straight250cc
Pro cla ss overall wi n of the 1993 Budwei ser
Supercross Series. Buehl, from London, Ohi o
had to hold orf Pennsylvania 'sta rs like Mik e
Jon es and Dav ey Yezek to take the victory. In
the 12Scc Pro cla ss Da vey Yezek turned t he
tables on Buehl and jones and grabbed the top
spo t in onl y his second trip to the Action Sports
Cente r.
Many of Ohio's top amateur rid ers also put
on a sho w. Jeff Gibson contin ued his unbeaten
strea k winning both motos in the 6Scc and Mini
jr. class . Gibson has not lost a moto in the last
tw o yea rs a t the Action Sports Cen ter. Gibson's
two main competi tors are also ou tstanding riders. Brian Bartlett and Dav id Whitcrart finished
second and third, resp ectivel y, in both classes.
Heath Bennett, who is on the mend from
injuries, still ran away rrom the field in the 125
and 250cc Bclasses.
Chuck Reed timed the starting ga te perfec tly
a t th e start or th e first 125cc Pro moto. Mik e
jones passed Reed's Honda in the whoops a rter
th e £irst turn and immed ia tel y. ope ned up a
small lead. Back in fourth and flfth were Buehl
and Yezek. By the end of the first lap Buehl had
caug h t Reed with Yezek still right behind them .
jones took adva ntage of the battli ng beh ind him
to extend his lead to rour seco nds. Buehltried to
slip by Reed in the gra ndstan d sect ion bu t the
leaders held him off. Yezek was patien tly waiting for his chance to slip into second, and on the
seco nd lap , he sa w his open ing . In the double
ju mp section before the finis h line, Yezek cut
ins ide or both Reed and Buehl to take seco nd .
Yezek, who placed fou r th in the Eastern
Regional 125ccSupercross Series, then beg an his
assault on jones' lead . Buehl also round his way
pa st Reed and into third, and he tried to reel in
the leaders.
By the fo u rth lap Yezek's Team Green
Kawasaki was right on jones' rear whee l and the
crowd got to see a great race. Yezek tried to
force jones into an erro r but jo nes would n't bite.
With the close action ou t fro n t, Buehl slowly
closed on the leaders, and when the whi te flag
ca me ou t, he was wi thi n tw o seconds of the
leader. jones did n't hold back on the last lap and
he took th e ch eckered fla g tw o bik e lengths
ahead or Yezek. Buehl grabbed third and Reed
fourth.
jones and Yezek got the jump on the pack in
the second mota, whil e Buehl was stuck back in
n inth. How ever, Buehl sliced his wa y thr ough
the field and by the end of the first lap he had
h is Yamaha up to third place. Jones mad e a
minor bobble on the second lap a n d Yezek
roared into the lead. "We put on a mud tire for
the second moto because the course was getting
sli ck, but it wasn ' t working too good: sa id
Yezek . '" we nt just a little wi de in a tum and
Davey went by."
On the fourth lap jon es came up short over
the finish line jum p and nearly crashed. Yeze k
pulled out a five-seco nd lead and the top three
places w ere se t. Reed, o nce aga in, fini shed
rourth wa y ahead of Mark Kiser. Yezek took the
overall win with jones, Buehl and Reed finishi ng
2-3-4, respectively.
