Scott scores bigat Starwest MX
By David A. Procida
MORENO VALLEY, CA,AUG. 6
Shawn Scott and Andy Rasmussen gav e it their
all while swapp ing moto wins, but it was the allimportant second -mote win that gave Scott the
ove ra ll victo ry in th e 12 to 16-year-old 80cc
Beginner class at the Starwest Supercross facility
during round nine of the Suzuki-sponsored Ford
Tru ck Giveaway Series.
In moto one, Scott came smoking out of the
gate to grab the holeshot, but it was a sho rt-lived
lead as Rasm ussen came screa ming up the face
of the gra ndsta nd d oub le and so a red up a nd
over Scott for the lead.
Rasmussen bega n to pu ll out to a comfortable lead tha nks to the fearless attitude in whi ch
he attacked the big do uble. With Scott off the
pace. c.J. Tlsinger closed in. bu t a qui ck glance
to the rear had Scott back on the gas and pulling
aw ay from his challenger.
As the mote came to a close, Rasmussen was
seen sty ling ove r the jumps and Scott, a lonely
seco n d , h eld th e ga p b etwee n h imse lf a n d
Tlsin ger. Rounding out the top five were Benjamin Rose and last week 's winne r Sean Peer.
Scott again stormed to the fron t of the pack
to take lead in th e second mo to, while Rasmussen suffered a mid -pack start and was b usy .
tryin g to improve on his po sition . Tisinge r gated
the number-two slot a nd was a coup le of bike
lengths behind the leader. Even as the rid ers in
Rasmussen's p ath we re dropped back by the
har d-ch arging Ya maha ride r, there we re still a
couple of competi tors tha t were determined no t
to let Rasm ussen pass them by wi tho ut a fight
Rose held off the hard-charger for a lap-anda-half before being passed in the rockers. Tisinger
fared a little better holding back Rasmussen for
over two laps before Rasmussen outpowered and
ou ljum ped Tisinger over "The Laun cher."
Th is left only Scott between Rasmussen and
the overa ll victory. Rasmussen kicked his Yamaha
into high. but with only one lap left to close the
gap and make a pass, the odds were against him.
