Bigelow blasts
at BUlldogs Motocross

Kipp Bigelow was back" in action at the third
round of the Spring Fling Series held at Bulldogs
M/C , Michigan, winning the Over 35 class.
The start of the first moto saw Bigelow on
his K&W Vamaha leading, but right on his fend- .
er was Tech Care Suspension's Dave Bowman,
followed by 911 MX Shop's Larry Wilmer, Mall
Horrocks and John Love. Bowman came close to
making the pass several times only to be rejected
by the ever-steady Bigelow on the power-robbing, sandy course.
Halfway through the moto Horrocks
began to pressure ·third-place Witmer as the
· two rode close to the edge, while Love ran a
steady fifth. Just before the white flag Bowman made a strong move on Bigelow, but a
couple of tank-slappers in the deep whoops
· sent him to the ground. Witmer and Horrocks
would make their way around the downed
Bowman grabbing on to second and third,
respectively.
With just one lap to go, Horrocks was all
over Witmer looking to take over second, giving
him a shot at the overall,but he caught a rut and
crashed into Witmer, canceling both of them out
just before the checkers. A very happy Bowman
would retake second with just 100 yards to go to
the flag, while an angry Witmer would remount
for third. Horrocks and Love would claim fourth
and fifth, respectively.
. Bigelow ran off with another h'lleshot in
moto two as rain began to drench the alreadywet track. This didn't slow Bowman though, as
he continued where he left off in the first moto
with his relentless allacks on Bigelow. On the
third lap, Bowman pulled alongside but Bigelow
wouldn't give it. up, protecting the inside line
through each comer.
For ,the next three laps the two were never
more than a bike length apart as they opened up
an eight-second lead over a tiring Witmer and
Horrocks. When the checkered fell it was
Bigelow with his first win of season over Bowman, with Witmer third and Horrocks hanging
on for fourth. Love claimed fifth.
'"1 missed the white flag and was never hap· pier than to see the checkered," Bigelow said
after the race. "I haven't done a lot of training or
riding this year and don't know if [ could have
held offDave (Bowman) another lap."
