Knox rocks Phillipsville MX By John Silva PHILLIPSVILLE, CA, OCT. 20 Kevin Knox was a double class winner in round three of the Beebe Transport Fall Motocross Series. Knox outraced a tough field in both th.e Veteran Expert and Four-Stroke divisions. Close racing, full gates and multiple divisions of talented racers were common as over 200 riders batlled for the enthusiastic fans. Mickey Crenshaw took the holeshot in the first Vet moto, with Tim PhiUis, Knox, Rod !'lordstrom and Marv Miller dicing right behind. Phillis took oontrol and passed Cranshaw on the long "Avenue of the Giants" straightaway, and Knox also freight-trained around Crenshaw. Phillis and Knox fell into a fast groove and pulled ahead of the pack. The two teaders stayed close, with Crenshaw a distant third, and that order rema.ined to the checkered flag. In the second Vet moto, Knox took the lead early on and never looked back. Phillis gave chase for the entire six-lap moto, closing in on Knox only to have his fellow Suzuki rider squirt away. At the finish, it was Knox first with Phillis second, while a consistent Crenshaw again took third. Knox was at it again when a mixed bag of pounding four-strokes headed for the first turn. Knox and Dana Bray led aboard nearly identical KTMs, but tangled early on, handing the lead to Marv Miller. Bray assumed second, followed by Bo Curran, Eric Stugard, Jesse Ellen, Karl Seletch and Donny Bailey. Knox restarted and completed lap one in lOth place. Intermediat~ranked Miller cruised through the first two laps with Bray second and Curran third; Selitsch was the top Novice rider in fourth. Knox went on a tear after his spill, and used all of the track to pass lesser racers on his march toward the front. As the white nag new, only Miller remained ahead of Knox. On the last lap, Knox blasted by Miller and snatched the moto win. Miller's second place aced the Intermediates, with Selitsch taking third to top the Novice class. In the second moto, Knox and Bray again battled off the gate. Knox finally prevailed and Bray claimed second, followed by Miller, Bailey and Curran. Results P /W «().7): 1. Tyler Dalton (KTM); 2.

In the A ranks, the race for the overall would be decided by eight seconds as 25Occ/Open A rider Clint Woods took his Suzuki 250 to the top position over A/Expert ISDE rider Lynn ~ey. Woods and Bailey were within a oouple of seconds of each other on adjusted time until the sixth lap. On the sixth lap, Bailey came upon downed AA/Pro rider and friend Cody Polls. Bailey stopped and waited with his friend until help arrived. During that time, Woods and secondplace 250cc/Open A rider Patrick Hohman took the physical I~ad and adjusted overall lead. Bailey opened up the afterburners in an attempt to regain the overall lead. Within one lap, Bailey caught Woods and the two riders stayed within seconds of each other over the next few laps.
