Brandes snags Silver State MX
By Joan TIeamey
CARSON Cl1Y, NY, SEPT. 11
Answer/Shoei/FMF/Smith-supported Michael
Brandes clinched bo th 250cc Pro-class mot os
during round three of the CMC North Trans-Cal
series at Silver State Raceway.
• Shane Esposito got the holeshot as top riders
fro m Southern and Northern California ba ttled
for position. Esposito fought hard and led the
race, while the Yamaha of Bran des con tin ued to
press him . Michael Brandes not only stayed
close to Espos ito bu t had to watch his back as
Spud Walters was in hot p urs u it. Walters inched
his bike into third place off the sta rt while Pat
Go rom, Justin Tieamey and Kenn y Lash battl ed
mid p ack. Ca sey Johnson su ffered a med iocr e
start on unfamiliar turf along with Lowell Mou ral and Rick Ryan.
Esposi to continued his forge for the checkered as he and Bra ndes left the pack. Johnson
was working his wa y up every lap, and, by lap
five, was stalking Walters for the third position.
Go mm ran consistently in the fourth position
with Kenn y Lash in fifth. Brandes continued to
close in on Espos ito bu t was unable to make a
p ass . On lap seven, Johnson passed Walters in
lapped traffic. Last-lap action saw Brandes pass
Esposito ove r the tabletop fmish-line jum p while
Esposito was suddenly caught in a lapper line .
Brandes took the ins ide and squeaked th rou gh
to ta ke the checkered. Esposito wa s second,
Joh nson landed third, Walters was fou rth an d
. Gorom fifth.
Johnson pulled off the second-mo te holeshot
in front of Brandes, Gomm, Esposi to and Sco tt
Stillmock. Bran des was determined to pass and
overtook Jo hnson on the back sec tion o f th e
track. As th e res t of the pros settled in and
planned th eir moves, the two fro nt-runners
picked up the p ace and left the pack again.
Gorom, Esposito and StiIlmock ran third, fourth
and fifth, but Esposito needed to get on the gas
to catch the leader for hopes of an overall
Brandes and Johnson continued to hammer
the turns, making eye contact over the tabletop
jumps and pus hi ng eac h other hard. Johnson
never d id get the pass on Brandes bu t earned a
well-deserved second overall Brandes took the
checlcered and two perfect moto wins. Esposi to
lost precious secon ds on the start and settled for
thi rd overa ll. Gomm was fourth and Mou ral Jr.
was fifth.
