By Ray Woods
BLOOMINGDALE, MI, JUNE 15
Grant Moreland destroyed the competition in
the very competitive Pee-Wee Senior class at
Dutch Sport Park during round two of fjve of
the Red Bud /Dutch Sport Park series.
Cory Slavik gated first in the nearly allCobra field, with Rick Davis second and Moreland tltird. Larry Partin was holding down
fourth and Adam Hardin running fifth. Moreland qukkly began to pressure Davis and Slavik
as they entered the sand switchbacks just after
the start, and Slavik responded by laying in
down in the comer holding up Davis just long
enough for Moreland to get around both of
them. Da vis recovered to hold onto second as
Slavik remounted for third. Partin and Hardin
continued their race for fourth. On the fourth lap
Davis grabbed big all off the tunnel jump, landing very hard and breaking his chain on rus
Cobra and putting rum in tennis-shoe mode for.
the remainder of the moto. A hard-<:harging Josh
Radi now began to pressure Slavik, as Moreland
did a disappearing act on everybody. Radi made
Ns move on Slavik in the very tricky double-double section as the rest of the 6eld settled into their
first-moto futishing positions. Moreland would
take a very convincing first-moto win, with Radi
second Slavik third Partin fourth and Harden fifth.
At the start of the second mota Slavik again
had the holeshot. Moreland would wajt Ws
time to make rus move, as he set up Slavik
approaching the step-up double. Moreland
cleared the setup, leaping into the lead and leaving Slavik to deal with a very aggressive Radi.
These two pulled out all the stops as they
matched each other jump for jump and whoop
for whoop. At the flag it would be Moreland
with a 3lkecond lead, Slavik holding on for second, Ram third, Davis fourth and Partin fifth.
