Storm blows 'em away at Salem AX By C1..AY LIGHT Results SALEM, OR, JAN. 8 Honda·mounted Mike Storm, the winningest rider this season in the 125cc Pro class during CMC-sanctioned arenacross at the Oregon State Fairgrounds' Exposition Arena, continued his winning streak with a double moto 125cc Pro victory. Fast-starting Suzuki rider Keith Kadell jumped out in front of the first combined 1250c Pro/Intermediate contests, and for several I~ps he held down the point position, until Storm carved through traffic to catch and then displace the impressive Intermediate rider at the midway point. Kadell held on to the number-two spot, behind the top Pro, Storm, but ahead of another Pro, Washington's Russell Chace, and Intermediates Tyson Blood and Matt Williams. Kadell was fastest out of the chute in the second contest, but it took a little over a lap of the whooped-out course before Storm nabbed the lead from Kadell's grasp. Storm, riding the Hillsboro Motorcycles/SMP/FMF-backed CR, opened up a tidy lead, which he maintained to the finish for the overall Pro win, ahead of overall Intermediate winner Kadell and Chace. the second-placed Pro. Williams got the nod for runner-up in the Intermediate class, ahead of the Suzuki-mounted Blood. Yamaha rider Ryan Leach dominated the first 250cc Pro/Intermediate-class moto, leading Salem's Ryan Hageman and Washington's Chace from start to finish, while Intermediate riders Bryan Clevenger and Williams rounded out the top five. Leach's overall win was in jeopardy in moto two, though, as the Herb's Cycletown-supported rider fell while leading; this allowed local Honda rider Hageman to lead for much of the race until he, too, slid out. This greatly tightened the race for the lead, as Hageman, who quickly remounted, soon had both Chace and Leach riding his rear fender. As Hageman began to tire late in the moto, Leach nipped by both Hageman and Chace to take the lead with two laps remaining to seal his 1- J victory, ahead of Hageman (2-2) and Chace (3-3). Williams came out on top of the combined Intermediate-class moto to take an overall win (2-1) ahead of Honda rider Clevenger. The largest rider numbers came in the 125 and 250cc Beginner classes, both of which sported two divisions. Kawasakimounted Sean Light. a 250cc first-timer indoors, scored a double mota win in Division One in 250cc action, putting huge ground on Suzuki rider Craig Firkins, the second-placed finisher (2-2), and Jeff Phillips (4-3) in the 14-rider field. YZ pilot Joe Wyatt, who maintained the longest win streak in the class this season, won Division Two with 1-2 finishes, topping Curtis Waibel (2-3) and Eric Turk (4-4). Another of the contingent of out-of-area riders, Ryan Villopoto, posted a pair of victories in small-displacement action, scoring the 60cc Senior and Supermini-class wins. ViIlopoto held off Ryan Huege, who the night prior was a two-class winner, for the Supermini-class win. Villopoto then finalized his tally with a 60cc Senior win, ahead of KTM rider Jacob Kannada and Travis McClinton. 38 FEBRUARY 2, 2000' IC U IC P/W (4·6): 1. Steele Angle·Dellidson (Cob); 2.
