Hodges hammers Hollister MX
By J.R. Canaguier
HOLllSTER, CA. sm.12
Mike Hodges proved th a t d e ter mi nation a nd
fine sse wer e all he needed to ta ke the overall
wi n in the 250cc Int ermediate das s at th e
Hollister Hills MX Park after heated baUles in
both motos with Kevin Hunt.
Hodges put h is Roc k Oil /Li n de rma n
Eng./ Motors West Ya maha into the first tu rn
ahead of the pack in mot o on e but soo n relin . quished h is lead to the ha rd-cha rging Hunt.
After rep ea ted tries to ge t back the lead . the
rough Holli ster tra ck proved very d ifficult to
pass on and second was the best Hodges could
do. Don Mend enhall looked to be a threat for a
whil e. but he found it hard to find a good line to
pass. Chris Bac:c:elli rounded out the top four.
