Team Valvoline claims
Homestead'
By Lisa Theobald
HOMESTEAD, FL.FEB.14
Team Valvoline EMGO's Joshua Hayes took
home the trophy for first place in the Unlimited
Grand Prix at Homestead. For most of that ride,
he was tailed by his teammate Grant Lopez,
who finished just behind him in second place.
Mike CiccOllo held off the pack for the first lap
aroun-d the course, but Hayes slipped underneath him in turn one to take the lead and domina te the race.
On the next lap, Lopez slipped around Ciccollo on the front straight and charged after the
leader through turn.one. By the third lap, Hayes
held a six-second lead over his teammate, and
just behind them a battle for third was raging
between Ciccotto and· David Roy. As the two
leaders did ahead of hjm, Roy slipped underneath in turn one to claim the third place on the
podium.
At the halfway mark, Hayes just walked
away with the lead as the top four maintained
their positions through to the finish, slowly separating themselves from the pack behind them.
The teammates each took home two firstplace trophies. Earlier in the day, lopeZ won the
GTO and Heavywcight Supersport races, and
Hayes won Mjddlewcight Supersport and also
finished second to his teammate in the GTO and
in second place in the GTU.
Lopez...,t the pace in the first race of the day.
Local number-one rider Emanuel '"M.anny"
Manusuthakjg led the first two laps of the GTO,
but Lopez took over the lead in lap three, push:
ing Manusutham back to second, with Hayes
close behind in third - but not for long. By the
fourth lap of the race, Lopez was being chased
by new second-place rider Hayes. The top two
ran close together until they got caught up in
lapped traffic. Lopez weaved through the slower
riders with ease and began to put some space
between himself and his teammate.
Manusuthakjg dropped out of the race, leaving Ciccotto, Roy, Rick Narup and John Bowman
to do battle for third place. When the checkered
flag finally flew, Lopez finished a strong first,
with Hayes not far behind in second. .

Hinrichs electric at the Aztec
By Stacy Jensen
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, FEB. 14
With bright sunshine, brisk breezes and more
than 400 riders, the second round of the Sport
Riders Association of Colorado and Mazda
Trucks Championship Series gave spectators
thcir fill of excitement at M and M Connections'
Aztec Family Raceway. There was plenty of
great racing throughout the day. However,
when the Pros took to the track, Jeremy Hinrichs
was there to win " and win he did, in both the
Open and 250cc classes.
As the gate dropped on the first moto, it was
a mad rush to that -all-important first turn, a
qwck right-hander turning to a small table. As
riders and machines came into the tum, local
racer Donnie Bums took the holeshot, while
cloSe behind was Tom Smith, Scoll Burris and
John Murray. Over the table, Burris moved to
first, while Smith, Clint Eliot and Murray, going
into the south wash and advancing up the lUll,
made the exaggerated whoops look like cake.
Coming from cighth place, Hinrichs began a
charge, as he passed two riders in the wash. On
the uphill whoops, all but Burris saw his back as
they advanced to the uphill 5-turn, where Hinrichs took advantage of a tighter squeeze on the
inside for the pass. Burris moved into second as
Kelby Pepper, who gated in 1lIh, worked his
way up to Wrd.
In the lead, Hinrichs was m the driver's seat,
although Burris tried without success to pass
during the last few laps. At the finish line, the
order was Hinrichs, Burris, Pepper, Murray and
Lane Swink.
Burris got the second-moto holeshot, with
Adams, Smith, Joe Pena and Pepper in tow. Hjnrichs started a slow 13th but advanced to sixth
by the end of the first lap. Swink was right on
his tail. Kevin Hall fell after Ule firtish line and
moved to last as Hinrichs passed Pepper on the
uphill whoops and then sneaked around Pena.
Now in third, Hinrichs began to push
around the tower turn, pressing Adams a.nd
moving to second. He chased Burris up into the
horseshoe turn at the north end of the track,
where he was five seconds behind. As the two
began up the long northwest hill and into a left-
