MY, AZ. APR. 26
Adam Bode took lop honors in the always-rompetitive 2SOcc Novice class at southern Arizona's
Ocotillo Raceway. Bode's Eastside Cycle/ProAction Suspension Yamaha helped him to a 1-1
tally, his first perfect day in Novice racing.
Moto one exploded off the gate with the
holeshot going to Pll/Pro Racing's Lupe.
Aguayo, followed by Kawasaki-mounted
Anthony Maestas, Bode and the pack. There
were plenty of early "adjustments" to the order,
but the running order at the end of lap one was
Aguayo, Maestas, Bode, and Kory Taylor ~board
his brand·new YZF400F. The second-lap action
saw Aguayo throw his race away with an unfortunate get-off, giving the lead to Maestas. Bode
saw his opportunity to pass Maestas for the
lead, took advantage of it and never looked
back. By lap three, Taylor was pressuring Maestas for second, with Kawasaki of Tucson Cycle &:
Ski/Pro Circuit-sponsoned Danny Shealey moving up to contend with Taylor. Maestas had
nothing for the thumper pilot as Taylor scooted
by for second, and the battle for third was on
between the Kawasakis of Maestas and Shealey.
By lap four, the lapped riders became a factor
for the front-runners, but the order stayed the
same to the finish with Bode in first, Taylor second, Maestas third and Shealey fourth, with
Mark Shettlesworth moving up to fifth.
When the action for moto two got under
way, it was Maestas taking the holeshot over
Bode, Taylor, Aguayo and the class. The end of
lap one saw Maestas leading the way but feeling
pressure from Bode as Taylor hustled to stay
ahead of a determined Aguayo and Shealey.
This train of riders remained in place until a lapper held up Aguayo, allOWing Shealey to pass
fo.r fourth. As the white nag came out, Bode
made his move on the inside of the final turn
and passed Maestas in the air off the finish-line
tabletop, railed the next tum and immediately
pulled out a three-second lead. Bode's two wins
gave him the overall win over Maestas (3-2).
Shealey, running in fourth behind Taylor, pressured hard as the two battled for third. It was
back and forth all the way, but Taylor took the
third and final podium position with a 2-3.
Gregg Hanson also had a great day, going II in the 250cc Beginner class, and became Arizona's newest 250cc Novice racer after receiving
the "move up' speech at the trophy presentation. Hanson's first~moto win came with a
holeshot and subsequent runaway win, but his
second moto required that he pass fast starter
Sam Hernandez, who took third overall, behind
Brian Laslovica.
