Walker on fire at 1-40 MX By Randy Sansom LENIOROTY, TN,jULY29 Kevin Walker won six of six Expert motos to take home the lion's share of the Pro purse at 140 Motocross' Hot Summer Night/Volunteer Championship Series. Walker cleaned house in the 125cc A, 250cc A and 25+ A classes, but he was followed in all six motos by North Carolina's Jim Chester. Walker managed to holeshot four of the six molos, winning those wire-tc>-wire, followed by the always-aggressive Chester. Chester managed to snag the holeshot in the second 250cc A and 25+ A motes but both leads were short-lived. It took Walker less than four corners to find a way around the Suzuki-mounted Chester in the 250cc A moto, and he passed Chester in the first turn of the 25+ A moto, leaving the rest of the paclc to fight over second. Try as he might, Chester could not make a charge on Walker and was forced to assume the runner-up spot in all six matos. THE M RCYClE OF YOUR DREAMS IS ABOUT m BECOME AREALITl Anticipation is great.
