Dunivent doubles at
Sand Hill Motocross
By John Gola
"I've been ~nowed in and can't ride
in Colorado, so I thought 1'd head over
here," Shultz said. "I'm beat, but the
scenery was grea l I would have liked it
to be a bit more technical, but I will be
doing more of these."
.
John Epperly came over from Southern California and thought it was an
outstanding ride. "Sand, rocks and a little snow. What more can you want?"
Epperly said.
Head on top of Denver MX

Consistency paid off for Mark Head in the 125cc
B class during Roclcy Mountain Motocross Association Winter Series competition. .
Any of the top 10 riders had a shot at the
overall, but with three racers accumulating the
same five-point total, Head won the overall
with consistel)t third- and second-place moto
finishes.
In the first moto, former miiti speedster jeff
Boone got the holeshot. On a 125 for the first
time, Boone looked right at home as he led the
Hrst lap around the l.1-mile, somewhat technical
north track at the Watkins l'amily Raceway. But,
on his tail from the start, Mike Maddock slipped
by when Boone bobbled in a comer.
Maddock led for five laps, but went down in
the back section halfway through the seventh
lap, and Boone was right there to take advantage. Maddock was back on his bike quickly, los-
ing just the one spot to Boone, but with .only
four laps to go, Boone motored to an easy finish.
In the second moto, it was Boone with the
holeshot again. This time it was Scott Burris, in
the number-two spot, who capitalized on
Boone's second-lap mistake. Head pulled into
second at the same time and it was Bums and
Head for the rest of the second moto.
Head, Haddock, Boone and Burris took the
top four spots overall with 3-2, 2-3, 1-4 and 5-1
finishes. RMXA Winter Series first-round winner josh Murphy rounded out the top fi ve with
4-6 finishes.
On the south track in the 60cc (9-11) class,
the order was Mall Burris, Brady Sharp, Brad
Alarid, Adam Harvey and Lance Hiser from
start to finish. 1bat makes for pretty boring racing for anyone but the moms and dads, but the
crowd was glued to this class as Burris and
Sharp cleared the spectacular 9O-foot tabletop
jump lap after lap.
From a distance, those 60s look like big rocks
being launched out of a catapult. Air lime is
about four seconds and heights can top 20 feet,
but these kids landed smoothly every time.
