Over 200 riders turned out for Sunday's action d espite a heavy rai nstorm hittin g th e track the night before. nus caused some ru tting to form on the we tter portion s of the co urse eno ugh to make things interesting. But th e re wa s no d ust and track conditions on most of the course were per fect wh ich led to some fast racing. Despite h av in g so ~e tighte r compe tit io n than he got on Saturday, Schesser did his thin g again, swee p ing each moto in both the 125cc and 250cc A classes . While Schcsser's main compe tition in the 2SOcc A class, Chad Thompson, did not com pet e at Lin coln Trail th is week, he di d ge t so me com petiti on fro m Jimmy Du nn an d Todd Sheed y in both classes. Du nn ac tuall y got th e holes hot in the first 250cc A moto of the d ay but Schesser took the lea d righ t back on the second lap a nd nev er relinqu ished it. Sheedy ended up passing Dunn to take seco nd with Du nn in third . Schesser wou ld not let another 250 ge t ahead of him ag ain the rest of the day as he roar ed out to a 15-second lead over Sheedy in the second moto and flew to the overall win. Wh ile Schesser domina ted the 125cc A class by an even bigger margin than the 250 class, the co mpetition behind him was tight and tough. Dunn again got the holesh ot over Sehesscr in the first mo to and he was ab le to hold the lead for a short time before Schesser flew ahead of him on the seco n d la p . Clin ton Moore, Jr. an d Dun n fought it ou t for second and th ird with Dunn edging out Moore . In th e second rnot o, Sch esse r aga in wo uld not give up the holeshot as he roared awa y from his compe tition.
