Black and Datta. By the end of lap one, Black
had moved around Schneider and brought
Dotta aLong with him. Starkweather ran into
trouble at the base of the first tabletop and went
down. However, Starkweather's troubles would
not end there, as he came up a little short on a
long downhill double and took a nasty-looking
fall. Amazingly, he remounted and continued
on, eventually finishing a respectable sixth.
Black stuck ,,~th Carnes and managed to keep
the pressure on him. In fact, the front-running
duo opened up a huge gap on Schneider, who
was all alone in third place. David Gassin and
John Wear made their way through the pack
and settled into the fourth and fifth positions,
respectively. As the checkered flag waved, it
was Carnes barely holding off Black for the win.
Schneider held on to third, with Cassin and
Wear rounding out the top five.

MILLIKEN. CO, MAR 27-28
Matthew Moore mounted a victorious return to
racing aboard his RMl25 with four straight wins
in 125cc C-dass action at the two-day Loretta
Lynn's Amateur ational area qualifier, hosted
by Two Rivers Racing. The event also served as
the third stop on the Rocky Mountain Motocross
Association's Spring Series circuit, and more than
600 riders competed throughout the weekend
Miraculously, Moore has been fortunate
enough to get back into racing after a eTash during practice several months ago left the 21-yearold native of Seattle, Washington, in a coma
with a severely fractured femur.
Having swept both 125cc C-elass motos on
Saturday, Moore and 25 of his fellow racers
loaded the gate on Sunday under sunny skl.es,
with awesome race temperatures in the 60s.
Boulder Yamaha/Dunlop-sponsored Aar n
Werslnger grabbed the holeshot, with Two
Rivers Racing's Robert Flnochario, Remington
Way, Chad Riddle and Moore following. Riddle
opted to triple into the quad-jump section, as
most riders doubled in and out, and he got past
Way for third. On the pipe, Moore quickly
moved into second and began to cut away at
Wersinger's five-second lead. With one lap to
go, MooTe emerged from the whoop section
with the lead and had enough left to pull out a
five-second lead on Wersinger at the checkers.
Riddle brought his Sinisalo/Sun/Tucker Rockysponsored Kawasaki in for third, with
Fmochario and Way rounding out the top five.
In the second moto, Way stuck his Yamaha
into tum one first, with Wersinger, Kyle Huttenlow and Andreas Watt filing into position. A 10bike pileup occurred when HuttenJow experi·
enced bike trouble in the narrow S-turn area.
Within a lap, Wersinger had hopped into first,
with Way in hot pursuit. Moore mounted another midmoto charge and, with two laps to go, he
moved up from fifth to challenge the front-runners for the lead. Moore was on fire as he
approached Way and Wersinger in the whoops
and In one dean swoop blazed past both of
them for the lead. Again, Moore proceeded to
pull out a five-second lead at the checkers for his
second overall \"tin on the weekend. Wersinger,
Riddle, Way and Finochario followed.
'1'm glad to have done so well this weekend,
and [ look forward to competing at Loretta
Lynn's lhis summer," said a jubilant Moore. "I
have aspirations of racing in the 125cc A class
someday and I'm glad to be back out here racing
after my injuries and many months of therapy."
