MAR. 14 The Checkered Flag Productions Bardahl/Dunlop Arenacross Series visited New Mexico for round 16, and Isaiah Johnson won everything he entered with relative ease at the 'event, which was held at the Lea County Cultural Center. Th~ center is a fairly new facility with a huge Roor, and it was sold out for the first time ever in its four-year history. Series regulars Kenny Bartram and Jon Hedden both had trouble on the technical track, and Hedden was injured in practice and was unable to race. The 125cc heat race started with the'F&S Suzuki/FMF/Michelin-backed Bartram grabbing the holeshot, with Pro Circuit-sponsored Johnson right behind. Bartram CiJme up short on the finish line and severely jammed his wrist; he retired to the pits, handing the victory to Johnson. Johnson absconded with the holcshot in the 125cc mai,n and scored a wire-te-wire win. Bartram, after finishing the first lap in seventh place, charged through riders throughout the race' to eventualJy finish in third place, behind Johnson and Oklahoma's Earl Kephart. Kaylon Young and Jacob Gilsford rounded out the top five. The 250cc heat race was another wire-ta-wire victory for Johnson, and he was, by far, the fastest rider in the whoops. On several occasions, it looked as though he might lose it, but he just stretched his lead and scored an uncontested victory. The final race of the evening was the 250cc Pro main and Johnson was, again, the quickest rider into tum one. Bartram only made it 20 feet before the rear brake locked up on his Suzuki, leaving him on the sidelines for the remainder of the race. Johnson then simply began to stretch his lead, and he never looked back. Yamaha rider Levi Ballog and Honda riders Steven Birkelback and Kephart battled over second until Ballog took clear control of that position late in the race. Birkelback and Kephart look third and fourth, respectively. Young put his Honda into the fifth position when it was all over. The final event of the night was the jump contest. All three riders involved elected to perform cross-uE,.s, but the partisan crowd chose New Mexico native Johnson as the winner. 4.:." Results P/W (4-7): I. Dakota Owens (KtM); 2.
