BRASELTON, GA, APR. 15
Honda-mounted Dwayne BOrle led the charge
around Road Atlanta MX's brand-new track by
taking the overall in both 12See A and 2SOcc A
classes, in the process carding a total of three
first ·place moto fini shes. Georgia' S Adam
Humphrey spo iled Bone's sweep by taking the
first round of 125cc A. Over 350 riders gathered
to christen the Road Atlanta circuit , laid ou t by
lon gti me MX racer Sam Thomas, over the infield
hills of the road course .
In the first round of 125 A action Bone,
Adam Humphrey and Matt Shue of Cartersville,
Geo rgia, blasted off the line in close company.
The knotted trio put on a terrific show, w ith
many lead swa ps . Eventua lly, Shue was leading
the charge a nd appeared to be pulling away
when he sudden ly slowed a nd allowed bo th
Humphrey and Bon e to pass.
"The a irbox came loose o n my bike,"
ex p lained Shue. "So I had to back off beca use
there was n' t the power 1 nt.-eded, and I didn' t
wa nt to suck in any more du st than necessary."
Bone an d Humphrey we re using the d ustberms to roost each other in attempts to slow the
other' s p rog ress. Humphr ey crossed the finish
line first in front of Bone.
In the return contes t of 125cc A, Bone was
determined to get out front an d sta y there.
"I didn't want to eat any more dust," he said
flatly. And he didn 't , for the rest of the da y, producing two more holcshots in 250cc A to dominate that class.
Shue had gotten his airbox locked d own and
ran a stro ng second for runner -u p overall in
12See A, followed by Humphrey, Ch ris top he r
Bailey and Robert Mullins.
Dark Stiles mirrored Bone's 2SOcc A performance in 250cc B, thr ashing the field of 14 with
doubl e aces . Rounding out the top five were Tim
Bruce, Davy Duprel, Mike Ha milton and Mark
Taylor, in that ord er.
