Cook fries one up at PIR By lisa Conzatti I'ORTIAND, OR, APR. 18 jockey David Cook stretched his thoroughbred Yamahas' legs at the Oregon Motorcyde Road Racing Association's inaugural race of the 1999 season. Winning three of his four classes, he showed the racing fans what he could do astride the hot new Yamaha R1 and R6. Nabbing the holeshot in all four outings, Cook rode away with the win in the 600cc Superbike, Open Superbike and Open Super Sport classes. Cook attributed his fifth-place finish in the 600cc Super Sport race to a poor choice of tires. it had been raining off and on all day, and he chose to run stock tires in the 600cc Super Sport contest, hoping for some dry pavement. By race lime, the rain was pretty significant and the "non-rains" gave him a lot of trouble. Cook opted to play it safe and ease his way around the track. "1 had a good day," Cook said, "with the (possible exception) of really going the wrong direction with the bike because of. the weather. H The 600cc Super Sport race was a very exciting race for the top three racers: Mike Sullivan, aboard a Team Green Kawasaki ZX-6, and John Dugan and Rob Carpenter, both on Yamaha R6s. All three passed Cook early on, and it was quite a battle with several position changes, including some hair-raising passing of backmarkers by Sullivan. Twice, Carpenter got by Sullivan on the front straight of the 1.9-mile, nine-turn track. Both times ended in Sullivan smoking by him on the brakes at the end of the straight. All three ·were weaving in and around back-markers by midrace. In the hunt for Sullivan, Carpenter and Dugan made questionable decisions to both pass a lapper (on both sides) in turn one. Fortunately, there were no casualties. Sullivan edged out the win, followed by Dugan and Carpenter. Results 125 GP: I. Paul LudWIg (Yam): 2. DaVId Lanigan (Suz); 3.
