IF YOU MISS THIS TRIP...
USA/Dunlop/Sportsman Cycle-sponsored 300 M/XC by a narrow margin,
taking the win over the YZ400 of Scott
Monis and Scott Underwood by only 29
seconds. The two teams finished seventh and eighth overall, respectively.
"I kind of wussed out today," Daryl
Folks admitted. "I've got a I:rad back,
and it's been bothering me all week. J
thought it was okay until I got done
with my second section. I rode my third
section, and I told my girlfriend, Sherry,
'If Rick's feeling good, I'm going to
leave him on for the last 57 miles.' He
kept making time, and I kept losing a little bit. It could partly be mental because
of the back. I don't know, but it's definitely hurting me. The original plan was
for me to ride most of the miles, and
Rick actually wound up riding a little bit
more than me."
. Under 450cc Four-Stroke-class winners Tim 'Staab and Garth Sweetland
ended up beating the two Vet teams,
earning sixth overall with a time of
5:35:40.
"We were racing all the way, pretty
much on their tails, trying to inch forward because we knew we had to try to
get them on time," said Montclair
Yamaha/ Precision Concepts/FMF /
IMS-backed Sweetland. "We were just
trying to get further and further up.
Everybody rode good. It was hard to
make any passes out there. You'd just
kind of creep up, just hope somebody
made a mistake. Everybody rode pretty
good today."
