Holland king of Hi-mountain Motocross By Mark Moore Photo by Bryan Arebalo POZO,CA, MAR. 20 Rusty Holland won all four motos for a clean a sweep and the lion's share of the money at the Hi-mountai n MX facility in Pozo. Holland was the w in ne r of w hat m ay become a regula r pa rt of the series, an all-pro event in which pro riders can race any size bike. Holland got off to a slow sta rt in the first moto bu t soon found his way to the front, and from there styled his way to the first-moto win . The second moto sta rted out a little d ifferently but still ended the same with the Suzuki- mounted Holland finishing first. Shawn Wynne and Brett Cross battled it out for second and third place, finishing in that orde r. Cross, a forme r Melee support rider who recen tly got back into the sport, survived a hardfo ught ba ttl e to w in th e Vet Pr o class over Rob ert Weber a nd th ird-pl ace ride r Robert Reisinger. Weber holeshot both motos, but Cross mad e up grou nd quickly, eve nt ually passing Weber for the win late in both motos. Don Franklin was riding like a cowboy trying to w restle a steer. Franklin had his hands full with his 27Q-pound bike, but was able to use all the power of his ATK 605 on the straights and hoo ked up hard in the loam y turns . Frank lin appeared to have second place in the Vet class sewn up, bu t as he rounded the tum just past the sta rt in the seco nd moto's final stages, he wen t wide and clipped a hay bale, carlw heeling down the straight and end ing his chances.

Marx made his move for the lead at the start of the fourth lap. Montoya managed to stay close to Marx for one lap but even- . tually fell off the pace. When the checkered flag fell, Marx had secured the first-moto win with Mills, Montoya and Thimothy finishing second, third and fourth, respectively. Moto two featured an addition to the class in the form of Jarrett Guillory, who had not competed in moto one and thus wou ld not be a contend er for the overall win .
