Villa victorious at REM Glen Helen Motocross By Rocky Hash SAN BERNARDINO, CA, JAN, 23 The midweek rains that left Glen Helen's soil moist and tacky must have been to Michael Villa's likin~ as he romped to two convincing moto wins over the Vet Beginner class at Racing Enterprises Motorsports' weekly Saturday motocross. The start of the first mota saw Brian Lehman grab the holeshot on his CR250, with Villa in tow. Dave Hjckerson ran third, while Skip Pulver held down fourth on his Yamaha. Rebecca Kukla rode her Kawasaki KX100 into the fifth spot as the pack completed lap one. Lehman opened up a small lead over the first few laps, but Hickerson began to pick up his pace and he soon ran up on Villa, who still held second. The two racers began to cut in to Lehman's advantage, and at the halfway mark in the moto they had closed to make it, a three-way haWe for the lead. The skirmish did not last long, as Hickerson crashed his RM and left the two Honda riders to duel for the moto win. Villa nagged Lehman closely for two laps before making his move in the back section to take over the lead. Meanwhile, Kukla had closed on Hickerson, who had remounted but was struggling'in third. When the white flag came out, Villa had pulled out a three-second lead on Lehman, who was still comfortably in second. Villa' didn't lead every lap, but he did lead the last lap, and he took the first-moto win over Lehman. Hickerson was able to recover and salvage a third-place finish. Kukla was fourth, while KTM-mounted Daniel Coats rounded out the top five. When mota two got under way, it was the Suzuki of Hickerson out front with the holeshol. Coats moved his machine into the second slot, while Villa seWed into third. Pulver was fourth and Lehman was fifth as the racers cleared "Clutch-Kill Hill" on lap one. Hickerson's lead was short-lived, though, as he bailed off in the back section on la p two. Put ver he used the third lap to move around Coats, who had inherited the lead. Villa, meanwhile, was involved in the Hicker~on miscue, and he had stalled his machine, but he now rode in third. Lehman was fourth, and Hickerson recovered in fifth. Villa turned up the heat on his CR250, and just after the halfway mark of the mota he passed Co.:'lts and took over the second position. Over the next few laps, Pulver and ViUll argued over the lead as the two riders rode in close formation. Once again Villa seemed to have a little more left at the end of the mota, and when the white flag came out, he went arou.nd Pulver to take over the lead. At the checkers, it was Villa taking the win to complete his perfect day. Pulver rode in for second, while Hickerson charged around both Lehman and Coats on the last lap to claim third. Lehman was fourth, and Coats once again finished up in fifth. On the doy, Villa's 1-1 tally was good for the overall victory. Hickerson's 3-3 finishes earned him the second spot, while Lehman's 2-4 scores placed him third. Results 80 NOV; 1. Sean Borkenhagen (Kl'Iw); 2. John Mills (Kaw); 3. Ron Said (Yam).
