Ford fantastic at

Ford claimed top honors in the highly com petitive Junior Veteran class at th e final ro und of th e
KB Racing Promotions /Honda of Sacramento /
Ca rm ichael Ho nda-sponsored Fall Series.
Moto one appeared to be Ford's from the
beginning as he gated well and snatched the
holeshot a way from the rest o f a cla s s filled
with talented riders. Foro began to receive some
pressure ea r ly on, tho ugh . as the big -b o re.
pumpkin-colored KTM of Edward Slack began
to challenge Ford and his Honda as the firs t lap
leafed completion. A long with Slack, Mark
Mari lao o n a Ho nda o u t of Hole shot Mota
Accessories also had aspirations o f displacin g
Ford, and he set upon the task ahead . Ford was
U? to the challenge and weathered the storm as
he went on to win the- mota just ahead of Slack.
Narilao and a stro ng-finishing Brad Hallahan in
k urt h.
With the class win on the linc and the scri~
o re rall depending un the fin ishin g p ositiun
~tween him self and Slack, Ford knew his missb n in the seco nd moto wa s to place better
na n Slac k· no matter w ha t else t ra n spired .
Shc k wa sn't going down easy; he jockey ed for
ptSition through the first tum elbo w to elbo w
wt h Ford . Fo rd had youth on hi s s id e and
ene rged th e leader as the class sorted itseU ou t
dning the first lap . Slac k wa s no do ub t
d-ained, with this being his fourth mot o of the
n gh t a!'! he was doing double du ty, ridin g in
btth th e Junior Vet and th e true Vet cla sses.
T\e yo u ng ster Ford, who cou ld only rid e in the
Cve r 25 cla ss, used th is to h is advantage and
bfgan to stretch ou t a slim lea d over Slack and
Nari lao, who ag ain sta rted o ff welt and was
wi thin s tr iking di st ance. The rid ers ba tt le d
fu rd throughout the moto but were not able to
ca use h im to fa lte r, ha nding him hi s second
mota win of the night.
O bviously, Ford's back-ta-back moto wins
ea rn ed h im t he o vera ll for t he eve n ing, but
more importantly they gave hi m a four·point
advantage in the se ries as well as the champio ns hip ti tle. Slack was relegated to seco nd on
the nig ht and in the series, while Mari lao settled
for thiTd.
