whoops. After making the pass, Barnes' was
gone. Nunley hung tough to edge a tight pack
consisting of DeFalco, Bezzant and Stefan to
capture the 2S0cc Intermediate overal1. Barnes's
two-moto score easily earned him the 125cc
Intermediate overall.
Mark Frehner put his Suzuki out in front in
250cc Junior action. Rory O'Neill immediately
passed Frehner. It was not long before Frehner
passed O'Neill back. In the first lap alone, the
lead ·duo swapped the lead several times. Finally, Frehner was able to hold and extend a lead
when Jeremiah Jones got around O'Neill. Frelmer went on to a solid victory over Jones and
O'Neill.
O'Neill lit it up to start the second moto,
leading Dana Hansen, Frehner and the rest of
the field out onto the course. Frehner struck
quickly, passing for second, and then he set out
for the lead. He made the pass on O'Neill in the
big sweeper. Once out in front, Frehner galloped
home with the big win and the overall 250cc
Junior crown. O'Neill held a solid second for
second overall, ahead of Jones and Patrick Warren.

point, Sheax had Ramsey in his sights, but he
was wlable to make the pass and he would have
to settle for the second-place money. Hughes
used consistent 4-4 rides to earn third over Jeremy Hell and Madsen.
The first 125cc Intermediate mota was a
Hamblin benefit, as the Yamaha speedster led
every lap in the l2-lap race for a seemingly easy
victory. Turbo Reif chased Randy Clark for
much of the race before finally finding daylight
with a couple of Laps left to move iJ,to second
place, where he would finish. In one of his first
races as an Intermediate, Ryan Fedorow worked
his way up tiU"ough traffic to finish third, ahead
of Clark.
Hamblin was just as impressive in mota two,
grabbing the lead on ti,e opening lap and elisa ppearing with the win. Reif gated in ~second place
and stayed there for the duration. A good. battle
for third place erupted between Bobby Bloodworth, Fedorow and Clark, with Clark prevailing
to sew up the position with 4-3 finishes.
