The 125cc Junior racers leave the gate at
the third round of the CMC Gold Rush
Series, held at the Max Track in Piru,
California. Chad Frank (222) and Tomas
Ponce De Leon lead the charge.
During the white-flag lap, Martinez charged
through turn one in first place again, but this
time, when Henning tried to'slip underneath
him in turn two, he held on to the lead, and he
continued to hold it ti1rough the checkered flag.
After the race, Henning commented on his
unbelievable passes in turn two.
"We ran together this morning in the GT
race," Henning said, "and 1 know that Marco
likes a nice, wide line, which gives him a great
drive out. But I knew that if I couJd sneak it in
there, 1could hold him off for a little while."
"1 was not expecting to be in the lead,"
Marco said on the podium, "at aU."
Power Sports/DunJop-sponsored Martinez
also claimed victories in the Unlimited Supersport and GTO events.
