COWRAOO SPRINGS, CO, APR. 5
Warm breezes and blue skies set the slage for
the Sports Riders Association of Colorado's seventh race of the season, held at Coyote Raceway,
where Chad Wollaston fought his way to the
overall win in the 250cc Pro class. Two separate
long tracks were put in place for the day's
events, and the track offered challenges and
tough racing as 23 Pros charged down the starting-line hill.
At the start of the first race, Paul Lindsey
battled with Travis Riley for the holeshot in the
out-of-sight first tum, with Lindsey prevailing.
Close at hand were Wollaston, Darin Connet,
Eric Landis, john Murray and Wayne Balliett as
they fell in behind the leaders. Lindsey and
Riley ran close right off the bat but, landing
from some small doubles, Riley put the power
down better to lake tjle point. Third-placed Wollaston then began pressuring Lindsey, maJcing
the pass in a sweeping horseshoe tum and setting his sights on Riley.
jared Carlson, who started in ninth, worked
up to fourth, with jeremy Hinrichs moving into
fifth. As the riders flew over the finish-line tabletop, Wollaston was right on Riley's rear tire, but
with expert precision Riley warded off Wollaston in several of the next areas on the track.
Not far behind, Carlson was giving Lindsey
a run for his money, pressing every chance he
had. As the two came up over the huge double,
it was uncertain who would stay on top, but
Lindsey took the outside line to stay in third,
though Carlson later made it by.
In the battle for the lead, Wollaston pulled a
block-pass to take the front spot, though Riley
was unrelenting. Meanwhile, Carlson, Lindsey
and Mark F1esia closed the gap to the leaders.
As Wollaston pulled away and Carlson, Lindsey
and Flesia set their sights on Riley, Riley crashed
and dropped to fifth. He was soon up and made
it past both Lindsey and Flesia by the white-flag
lap.
.
Wollaston came home first, followed by
Carlson, Riley, Flesia and Lindsey.
Moto two saw Jeremy Hinrichs take the
holeshot, but Wollaston was quickly on the
move and took advantage of the tight rut that
had formed inside the first tum to power into
the lead. Hinrichs, Murray, Lindsey and Flesia
would follow, in that order. With an open track
ahead, Wollaston fired up his pace and never
looked back. Hinrichs, meanwhile, fell at the
north end in a slippery, dry section of the wash,
allowing lindsey and Flesia to fight for second
as Murray and Balliett duked it out for fourth.
The remainder of the race was intense as riders
tried and tried again to better their positions,
with Wollaston coming out on top, ahead of
lindsey, Flesia, Carlson and Balhett. Wollaston
took the overall win, with Carlson second and
Lindsey third.
