Watts electric at NMA Qualifier By Deb Hershman FORT WORTH, TX,jUNES 64 The road to the NMA Grand ational Championship in Ponca City, Oklahoma, continued its route through Texas as Mo·sier Valley USA Motocross hosted approximately 200 entrants at the fourth of a five-race qualification set. Taylor Watts was just one of many riders who competed. in several events - some in as many as five with the afternoon high temperatures in the 90s. Watts began his endurance-challenging day in the 125cc Stock lntermediate event, which ran combined with the Pro class. Watts powered his Yamaha out of the gate to lead his fellow Intermediate riders and all but one Pro rider, Mark Thompson, around the hills and valleys and through the woods to take his class win in moto one. Behind Watts, two more Yamaha~mounted riders battled for second, including Scott Hershman and Nathan Hale. Midway through the moto, Adam Mennenga joined in the battle for second with Hershman and Hale. By "'p four, Mennenga had parted the YaD\aha~blue waters and moved up to take over the two spot. Hershman was able to hold off Hale to the checkers for third. Mennenga dominated mota two, as he ran away with the holeshot and continued to hold a seven-second lead over the second position to the checkers. Watts repeated his good starting style and ran second, being challenged by Pro rider Thompson. Watts and Thompson dueled well into lap two until Thompson passed Watts on the inside corner. Hale moved in on Watts but was unable to get past him until the final lap, when the two briefly ran together jumping out of the whoops, causing Watts to run off the track briefly. Watts was quick on the recovery and salvaged third place. There was a hardfought battle for fourth place between Tyler Shandy and Hershman, as Shandy throttled hard to move up from an eighth-place start to fi.nish fourth. Hershman, losing his throttle grip midway through the moto, was able to hold fifth place. Watts also competed in the 12See Schoolboy division, finishing fifth overall with 11-1 motos, and in the 12Sec Modified Intermediate class, running 2-2 for second overall. In the combined 250cc Stock gate, Pro Mark Thompson and intermediate Chase Reed set a blistering pace in mota one. Both pilots put their Yamahas to the test as Thompson, after charging out to get the holeshot, fought hard to keep his distance in front of Reed on laps two through four. On the white-flag lap, Reed's determination allowed him to dose the short gap to Thompson's rear fender. However, Thompson held the throttle wide open to cross the finish line with a half-bike lead over Reed. Although Reed won his class, a great race for second was bejng fought between McFly Shee] and Nathan Hale. Sheel held the edge over Hale on lap one, and on lap two the dUd did not waver in their resolve to get second as they ran wheel to wheel. On lap three, Hale powered past Sheel and held his edge to the checkers. In the second moto, Reed jumped out to the lead with the holeshot as Sheel and Hale chased him. Reed ruled supreme in this moto and checked out with the overall win in the Intermediate group. However, Sheel and Hale Tepeilted their earlier war, with Hale passing Sheel in the hairpin curve before the finish line and securing second overall. Meanwhile, Thompson, whose bike stalled as the gate dropped, continued to barrel his way through.the combined group of 14 riders, and by the white-flag lap he had worked his way into third, behind Hale and Reed. Thompson crossed the finish line third, winning the overall in the Pro class. Results 50 P/W STK (0-6); 1. Wil Stewart; 2. Jacob Blomfield; 3.
