Storm rages at Sandy MX

Y,OR, AUG.8
No t a ra indrop fell all day, but there was a thundt!rstorm at Mount View Cycle Park when the
SMP/ Sub Zero Mfg ./Devol Racing /PBI Sprockets /St. John 's Kawasaki-backed Mike Storm hit
the track. The standou t from Beaverton , Oreg on,
was a perfect four for fou r in the tou gh 125cc B
and 250cc Bclasses.
After Storm took a couple of holeshots a nd
wins in the first round of motos, the starts were
proving to be very im p o rta n t. Hqwever, a
"b u mp" (albeit unintentional) around the first
turn by Sand y, Oregon's own Dan Hewitt on his
Honda tuml.>d another holcshot in to a soil sample. Going from first to worst didn't pha se Storm,
but instead it fired him up , a nd he took off after
the 13-rid er pack from 80 yards back. Passing
was har d to do for e veryone bu t Sto rm as he
blitzed throu gh the field and eventually stuck his
Kawasaki back up front - an awesome effort.
