JUI, E2 O:>i, Th e famous Lake Sugar Tree Motorcross, home to the Gary Bailey MX School , hosted the eigh th and Final round of the U.S. Eastern Pro-Am Motocross Spring Series with great racing and award s. Honda /Kawasaki of Wi lson /Si-Tec Racing's Troy Brewer milY ha ve just barel y missed wins in both the l25cc A and 250cc A classes at the day's event, but he came away w ith the bigger achi evement of taking series championships in both of the top classes . As w ith all of the top 10 series winners, Brewer cashed in on great loa ds of contin gencies and awa rd s. Troy Brewer (393) grabbed the ho leshot ove r moto-one winner Brian McElroy (135) and 125cc A overall winner Mitchell Hodges (26), dur ing round eight of the U,S, Eastern Pro-Am Motocross Spr ing Series at Lake Sugar Tree MX. Brewer looked like the man to bea t as he shot d own the start hill to grab the holeshot in mot o one of 125cc A action, but Florida Yamaha rid er Brian McElroy had other plans. McElroy took over the lead fore the end of the first lap wh ile a slip sent Brewer back to fourth. The ProCircuit Honda of Terry Kennedy hooked up to the rear fender of M it ch el l Hodges Team Green I Bailey MX School Kawasaki, and the pair worked into second and third behind McElroy while Brewer fought off Tony Rice and Ma rk Willia ms. Ho dges made a strong run at McElroy but got side-railed coming up the finish line h ill a n d pitched it back to third whil e McElro y checked out. Hodges managed to work back pa st Kennedy within a lap and took the runnerup spo t by mot e 's end w ith Kennedy holding off a h ard-ch arging Brewer. William s edge d out Rice for th e fifth postion . Hodges round ed the perfectly mani cu red first turn with a stro ng holeshot a' th e 125cc A rid ers took to battl e for moto tw o. McElroy was seco nd while Williams timed the gate well and was ru nni ng a solid third over Ken ned y for the first lap, but Kennedy was on the gas an d moving up to try and run down the lead pai r. Brewer pull the same tr ick as in moto one and fell from fourth to eighth on lap one, and he was forced to pla y catch up to the field . In th e meantime McElroy had displaced Hodges but had not shaken him off his tail, and their battle saw the pair pull aw ay by lap three. As the leaders took the w hite flag it looked as if McElroy was going to add his final moto win to his per fect streak for the day - as he had handily won both ou tings in 250cc A and Plus 25 A racing bu t it was not to be. " 1 cou ld feel something sta rting to go wro ng with the clu tch, so I figured I'd just cruise it in for the w in," McElroy said . But when I launched the big jump on the back side o f th e lake, m y clutch lever ju st came to the gr ip with no force. At that monent 1 knew I was in troubl e."
