race, wit h Flores in seco nd . When th e checkered
flag came ou t, Hernandez took a wire- to-wire
vic tory, followed by Flo re s, Baraldi, Rinau ro
a n d Nic ho ls o n . Ni ch ol son was on a brand spa nk ing -new KTM that he ha d just won at the
race a week ea rlier, cou rtes y of DH Cycles o f
Mod esto and AMP I GFI.
Mot o two saw Baraldi gra b th e hol eshot,
ahea d of Flor es, Rinauro, Nicholson and Hernand ez. Hernandez quick ly shot his way int o
seco nd place and began to pressure Barald i. In
fact , Hernandez outjumped Barald i ove r a big
ta bletop to grab th e lead . However, that lead
was short-lived, as a trip to the soil in the back
section of th e tra ck gave the steady Baraldi th e
lead once aga in. Flores maintained seco nd until
a d etermined Hernandez made a smooth pa ss
ove r the big tabletop to tak e ove r seco nd pla ce
on lap thr ee. In fact, Hernand ez ap peared to be
the fastes t rid er on the track. On the w hite-flag
lap, Bara ld i had a hold on first and it appeared
that Hern and ez had secured seco nd until th e big
. tabletop finally sent him to the gro und. A hard
lan d ing sent him to the soil again. an d Flor es
took over seco nd - again . Hern andez rem ounted
unh urt bu t ran out of time as the checkered flag

in the 250cc Pro act ion, Schnabel wa s pursued by fellow Hon d a rid er Brian Zu rn an d
Todd Kluever on a Suzuki. The SOOcc class saw
jonathan Han son (on a 400cc Hon d a ) and Bob
Ybema (on his Rota x) follow Schnabel across the
line. TI,e 600cc final was a field full of Rot axes.
Schnabel led from the green while bein g chased
by Na tio na l nu m be r 98, Bre tt Be yer, Yberna,
To d d Klu ever, a nd th e lad y fro m Ca lifornia ,
