The second mota saw Aaron Lindsay
pull a surprise holeshot and lead the
race from gate to flag. Jonathan Shimp
finjshed second, while Marley took third
despite overjumping a large step-over
jump and breaking his nose. Marley's 13 topped Shimp's 3-2 and Reed's 2-S.
The mini classes provided plenty of
great racing during the week, and· after
all was said and done, Arizona's
Michael Blose reigned supreme. Blose
recorded three out of four mota wins en
route to victory in both the 80cc 04-16)
and Supermini classes.
Perhaps the most unexpected winner
of the week came from the 80cc 02-13)
Modified class when newcomer Jimmy
Nelson shot down heavy favorite James
Stewart in both motos. Stewart, however, rebounded with wins in both the
80cc Stock (12-13) and l00cc classes.
One of the most successful Mini riders was young Zach Osbourne. The 8year-old son of NHRA drag racer Mark
Osbourne recorded five class wins
aboard hi SOcc KTM machine.
Osbourne tallied a record seven mota
wins, and he would have had an eighth
had it not been for Cole Seely, who waited until the final mota of the. day to
broadcast his abilities. He ran away with
the final 65cc (6-8) Modified race.
Florida's Davi Millsaps and California's Mike Alessi shared the top spot on
the podium in the 80cc (7-11) classes.
Millsaps owned the Stock (7-11) contest,
leading every lap of each mota, while
Alessi topped the Modified (7-11) class.
Alessi also took another two class titles:
the 60cc (9-11) Stock and Modified divisions.
Pee Wee Blake Baggett made his journey from California payoff by going four
for four in the 50cc (4-6) division. Baggett,
however, was kept honest by AMA Loretta Lynn Champion Forrest Lane, who was
never far off the pace.
