...- -- ~ get up there, and to have something like that go wrong is not good:' Lusk was glad to capitalize on Button's crash and, with a sixth-place finish in the moto, came home third overall when the scores were tallied. At the finish, Lusk was followed by Lamson, Henry, Ferry and Ward, who rounded out the top 10. Meanwhile, Emig was on a mission, and after many laps of trying, the twotime 250cc National Motocross Champion passed Windha In to take over the lead with nearly 10 minutes remaining in the moto. Emig was never headed from the moment he made the pass to the checkered flag. "The second moto, I got the start and I really just used my head," Emig Said. "I know it's a long series, and I'm happy to get a moto win." Windham was even happier, and rightly so. After breaking a collarbone during the supercross series and crashing out of the first moto last week at Glen Helen, the Honda pilot more U,an proved to all competitors U,at he can and will be a serious threat for the championship. "My Honda is really working hard off the gate, and that was really my saving grace," Windham said. "It's been a little while since l've raced, and coming back, I'm a little bit off. I'm working really hard to get back into it. The starts • were good, and that's half the ball game. Unfortunately, I wasn't the fastest one· in eiU,er moto, but I was consistent, and that's what brought home the overall. I think the biggest thing is that I didn't hit the ground like last weekend.
