Thayer, Kendall top Prineville Supercross By Clay Light PRINEVILLE. OR, MAY 3 Jon Thayer, riding a Yamaha, and Hondamounted jeremy Kendall were among the winners during the Amateur portion of the Northwest Supercross Series, held at the Crook County Fairgrounds. Thayer topped the Vet class, while Kendall's win came in 250cc Intermediate action. Thayer went unchallenged to his Vet-class win, beating fellow YZ pilot Dave Cheney. Cheney and his brother Troy were the promoters of the event, and he got off the line last in the main event and clawed his way forward. Trailing the Yamaha-mounted duo were Bill Kinney, Mike Taylor and Rod Zobri t. Kendall and Suzuki rider Chad Baxter were the front-runners in the highly competitive 2SOcc Intermediate class. It was Kendall, though, coming out in front of the mayhem to net a win. Baxter finished second, ahead of Travis Ceniga and Marc Melendrez. Yamaha rider Mike Bland, winner of one of the two 125cc Beginner-class qualifiers, took immediate control of the 19-rider final, followed by Suzuki rider Josh Huerda, Scott Fisher, Sean Light and Justin Harris. While Bland easily increased his lead for the win, Huerda tried in vain to close the gap but wound up taking second, ahead of Fisher, ~rody Baxter, Light and Joe Licitra. One of the day's top performances came from KX60-mounted Jordan Mockridge in the combined Supermini/BOec Beginner final. While his brother Tyler Mockridge ran out front from start to finish, the younger sibling carved through traffic after a poor start to overtake a multitude of SOcc machines to win the 16-rider 80cc Beginner class. Ken Hammontree followed the Mockridge tandem to the finish, followed by Allen Tompkins, Kolt Ceniga and Yamaha rider Cody Sprague. Results P/W; I. Kyi.! Hammontree (KTM); 2. Ian McLagan (KTM); 3.

Langdon found the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds' hardpacked dirt to his liking. and he won both the 125 and 2SOcc Pro classes. Danny Carlson put his Chaparral-based YZ2S0 out front as the single-race 250cc Pro class got under way. Chad Wollaston gated second and found himself in the lead on the opening lap when Carlson got out of shape in a long whoop section. YZ400F-mounted Tony Sulek closed in on Carlson. making it a three-rider battle for the lead. Wollaston would lead the next six lap - up unt.il the halfway point, when the riders are stopped and then lined up again, with the leader going to the back of the pack and given a cash incentive to repass as many riders as he can during the second half. Carison led Ty Kady, who was qwc.kly around Sulek on the-restart. Langdon was up to fourth, ahead of Mat Bateman and Brian Sweany. Wollaston was picking off riders until he connected with Langdon in a tu.m and went down. Kady then pressw:ed Carlson for a few laps before taking the lead. Langdon followed suit, pushing Carlson back to third and setting out after Kady. Langdon was using every line on the track to try to find a way around Kady, and he got a brea.k when Kady bobbled in the whoops with only a lap remaining. Langdon won the dash to 60 BEG: 1.
