Rainy weather couldn't dampen the enthusiasm
at the Georgia Karting Komplex Sunday afternoon. The overnight and morning showers may
have held the rider count down, but it made the
surface tacky and fast for the local hotshoes.
The action got underway with Patrick johnson making a last-lap pass on Eddie Tumlin II to
take first place in the 50cc main. Tumlin closed
the gap to zero in tum four but couldn't quite
squeeze by.
Brandon Weaver continued his winning
way. by taking the 80cc win. Brandon overtook
Garrett Weaver early and enjoyed a comfortable
lead by race end. Garrett held on for second over
female competitor Merritt johnson.
The two best races of the day turned out to
be between the same two riders. Tennessee's
Billy Campbell brought his Rotax down to do
battle in the Senior and Semi-Pro Trophy class.
Up to his challenge was local Vintage charger
Duyvayne Montgomery. In Senjor-c1ass action,
Campbell got the holeshot and led all the way to
the white flag before Montgomery .uddenly
squeezed his Yamaha twin past the unsuspecting Campbell for the win. When the same two
riders met again for the Semi-Pro Trophy class,
another great battle ensued., but this time Campbell looked a bit more determined and bulldozed his way to the win over Montgomery and
Yamaha pilot Rick Weaver.

halfway point. A third Beaverton rider, Sean

the back straight to reclaim third by three-quarters of a bike length.

Ryan Golding grabbed the overall win in the
junior Mini class at Suffolk Meadows MX with a
last-lap second-moto win,
Ryan O'Malley charged into the lead at the
start of moto one. Charles Ellis trailed in second
until falling in a comer letting O'Malley increase
his early lead. Eric Pencosky moved into second
as Richard Calabrese held on in third. Golding
made his move and advanced into second followed by Pencosky. Golding then passed O'Malley for the lead. After '''me .ide-by-side race
action, O'Malley recaptured the lead and piloted
his Orient Express-backed KX to the moto win.
Golding scored second, and Gary Schmalz
moved up to claim third.
O'Malley again shot into the lead to kick off
moto two. Golding and Ellis trailed the leader
into the Supercross section. Ellis throttled his
way into second as Golding and Schmalz followed. O'Malley and Ellis pulled away from the
pack and Ellis challenged for the lead but
O'Malley grabbed a handful and maintained his
lead. The second-place battle heated up when
Ellis dumped it in a comer, handing Golding
second. The last lap set the stage, with O'Malley
leading and Golding camped on his rear fender.
As the pair twisted through sand, O'Malley
maintained a slight lead. On the final uphill
jump, O'Malley missed a shift, and Golding
seized the opportunity to grab the lead and take
the overall win. O'Malley was consoled in the
fact that his second-place finish wrapped up the
junior Mini-dass Championship for the 1995
season.

Yezek Rolls at Nelsonville SX
By David L Patton Jr.
NELSONVll.I.E, OH, SEPT. 30
Davey Yezek was Aawless at the season-ending
round of the 1995 Budweiser Summer Supercross Series, claiming all four moto wins in Proclass action.
Top amateur riders also scored convincing
wins. Mark Burkhart blasted to convincing wins
in the Schoolboy class and jeff Gibson destroyed
the Mini Seniors.
When the 125cc Pro Oass hit the first turn
Shane Lawson had the lead, but Davey Yezek
took over a few turns later. josh DeMuth and
james Eickel rode in front of Lenny Baker and
Tommy Collier. Yezek quickly pulled away
from the field and Lawson opened up an edge
over the battle for third. DeMuth held up under
Eckel's constant pressure and would grab third
at the nag only 20 feet behind Lawson. Eickel
took fourth." I got a terrible start and just rode
bad," said a disappointed Eickel. Baker finished
fifth ahead of Scott McMillin.
Yezek led Eickel and Baker through the first
turn in moto two and left the field. Lawson was
back in the pack but pushing to the front. lawson and Scott McMillin were hammering around
the track chasing Baker and Dick Hoy and their
battle moved them up to Hoy's rear wheel.
McMillan led Lawson around Hoy and josh
DeMuth was quickly making up for a bad start.
Baker was next to have a problem, giving
McMillin third. DeMuth ran in fifth. Lawson
finally passed McMillin before the double that
leads into the esses, and set out after Eickel with
three laps to go. DeMuth also caught M.cMillin
and the two young riders fought for fourth.
Lawson nearly caught Eckel as they crossed the
finish line side by side. "I missed a shift in the
esses. [ could have passed Ekkel," said Lawson.
DeMuth outjumped McMillin on the big triple
on the last lap to take fourth.
