Humphrey Metrodome, which hosted the amateur portion of the AMA Supercross Series . After winning his 125cc B heat race, Mericle sta r ted the final in the sa me po sition. Brad Tollefson followed in second with Dave Heppner third. As Heppner fell back into the field, Steve Bates moved up and double-jumped past Tollefson for second, whil e Brandon Yates also moved past Tollefson for third. With one lap to go , Bat es an d Yates ba ttled for sec ond place, w ith Bates holding on for the runner-up spo t. The finis hin g order was Mericle, with a com· manding wi n, follow ed by Bat es, Yates, Lee Theis and Tollefson. In the 250cc B class, Mericle again proved to be the rider to bea t. Jim Holmes was quick off the gale and grabbed the holeshot followed by Mericle and Matt Ludescher. Throughout the first lap, Mericle hounded Holmes' rear wheel and passed him over the double jump on the second lap. The pass didn't stick, however, as Mericle oversho t a comer and Holmes got by to take the lead once more. Mericle was able to gel bad: on the track in second place and once again set after Holmes. On the th ird lap Mericle stuffed Holmes in a comer, and thi s time he made the pass stick. Mericle went on for the win followed by Holmes and Bates. Cy Chestennan filled the fourth position. Th e 125cc A and Youth classe s were run together due to a lack of entrants, and suprisingly, some of the Youth riders proved to be faster than their 125ee A-class rivals. In the main event , after dominating the hea t race, 12Sec A rider Andrew Bowman put his Yamaha in front of the eigh t-rider pac k followed by Youth competitor Ryan Pederson and 125cc A rid er Pete Bushman, who flew into the lead on his Kawasa lci on the firs t lap and enjoyed the lead for the next few laps . Be hind him, h o w e v er, Ped e rson h ad moved into second spo t and was challenging for th e lea d . O n th e fourth lap, Ped erson go t by Bushman for the overall a nd You th class win. Bowman also passed Bushman for top honors in the 125cc A class . Results MICRO MINI: 1. Ch ris Lassaretto (Ya m): 2.Brand on Ander (Yam); 3. Joh n DeOtis(Yam) ; 4. Kyle Stra nd lund (Yam) ; S.
