Atkins aces 250cc Pro class
at Pueblo Motocro$s
By Stacy Jensen

PUEBLO, CO, JUNE 16
In an intense battle with a host of 250cc PIOS,
Atkins took home the victory with moto wins at
the Pueblo Motor Sports Mo.toeross.
In moto one, Chad Wallaston jumped into
the early lead while Jeremy Hinrich, Mike
Boswell, Jason Carns and Scott Fultcher trailed.
As riders fJew over Devil's Tower a quarter of
the way into the second lap, Atkins moved into
seventh and began pressuring Cams, who had
dropped back.
The track'was extremely rough as riders
dropped down into the horseshoe, but the outside line proved to be the one to take as Roswell
passed Hinrichs, and Atkins made his bid for
sixth. By the second lap Atkins was only a tirelength behind the third-place rider.
Meanwhile, WaUaston and Boswell were
pulling away. As Atkins came off of Devil's
Tower and down thIough the straightaway he
hammered the top side of a big sweeper, but
Hinrichs maintained his position on the inside
and Atkins had to wait until he was again in the
horseshoe. Atkins made his move, this time on
the inside, and as Hinrichs took the better line
Atkins cut across to the outside, shutting the
door and taking away the third spot.
He was now only four seconds behind the.
leaders and on a charge. When the riders disappeared around the back of Devil's Tower, Atkins
and Reswell were handlebar-to-handlebar, and
by the time they re-emerged Atkins had taken
over second position and had Wallaston in his
sights.
At the completion of the sixth lap Atkins had
closed the gap and was a mere one second
behind Wallaston. As the two riders came over
the small set of tables there was plenty of contact as Wallaston refused to relinquish his lead.
Again they headed to the ominous back side
of the Tower where only the riders know what
occurs. Just as Wallaston and Atkins were making the final left turn before disappearing,
Atkins nailed his throttle and took an outside
line, passing· into fiIst. On the final lap of the
first moto Wallaston feU off of the pace and lell
seven seconds behind Atkins. Atkins finished
first, with Wallaston and Roswell finishing second and third respectively.
WalLaston again came out in front in the second moto, but Atkins was right behind with
Roswell, Justin Martin, and Ballett on his tail.
Just before completion of the third lap Atkins
turned the freeway into his personal property by
passing Wallaston.
Not to be outdone, Wallaston took the inside
of the final tum after the freeway and moved
back into first. However, it was a short-Hved victory as Wallaston overshot the benn of a sweeper turn and ran off the track.
Atkins held onto the lead for the remainder
of the race and WaUaston had to settle again for
second. Boswell, Ballett and Todd Robertson
rounded out the top five, respectively.

~ERRlS, CA, JUNE 16
Danny Carlson posted a six-moto sweep of the
USee Stock Intermediates and the 250cc Stock
and Modified rntermediate ranks during the
NMA Ponca City qualilier held at Starwest
Cycle PaIk in Perris, Californla.
Carlson looked great as he rode under the
supervision of Honda's amateur race team coor·
dinator Bill O1;r in the OISt 125cc Intermediate
race, In fact, Carlson had .no competition at all
from the Intermediates but did give fits to some
Pro riders and even passed World Mini Proclass champion Chris Wheeler on two se.parate
occasions.
In the end, Carlson ran away from the rest of
the riders in all of his race and went on to be
the dominant rider of the day.
Jason Smith won the 125cc Modified Intermediate classl making his long jouney worthwhile by scoring both moto wins over Mark
Desch and Tommy Harrison.
Jonathan Shimp was the BOcce holeshot king
of the day, but unfortunately Shimp's starts and
ficishes did not always match, and he was left
out of the winners cirde all day.
Billy Payne once again proved himself to be
the most solid rider of the BOcc Stock division by
posting the overall win.
