It was a hard-fought battle, but at the last race of the
year in Las Vegas . Miguel Duhamel rode his Honda
CBR"600F3 to victory in the 1997 600cc Supersport
Series. It gave him his third consecutive championship
and the sixth for Honda. And Duhamel wasn't the only
Honda champion in Vegas this year. Andrew Stroud
had already locked up the 1997 Formula Xtreme title a
race before. But he dec ided to go for a victo ry lap by
riding his CBR900RR to a scorching win in the final
event of the season. The wind in the desert may be
fast and hot, but it's nothing compared to Miguel
Duhamel, Andrew Stroud and Honda.
