boy class and Casey Hinson was besting the
one. Tommy Krause and Dalton Davis were
dicing just behind him. Michael LaChase was
on the gas, stalking through the pack to claim
third and then second. Catching Brown was a
horse of a different color, however. Brown was
in the zone, dialing up his speed to run off and
hide, LaChase secured second, and Davis led
Jake Mitchell, Justin Pankratz and Dylan Stahl
through the pipes.
Race two was another "How to Race a Pee
Wee on the Big Track" clinic, as Brown
popped another holeshot and began his
assault on the course. LaChase quickly rolled
up into second, but the real rZlcing was for
third - and a dandy dust-up it was, indeed,
with Pankratz, Stahl and Davis passing and
repassing often enough to leave the spectators
dizzy. It all ended when Pankratz went down in
a sweeper, opening up the field. Out in front.
Brown was a speeding train, blasting across

PEORIA, AZ., JAN.14
The second round of the Grand Canyon State
Classic Series race at Canyon Offroad Park
started out a little too wet for some of the racers, due to excessive rain. This didn't seem to
matter much to some of the racers who like a
variety and even a little mud. None of the racers seemed to enjoy it more than the younger
motocrossers. With all classes competing, the
most popular seems to be the 80cc Beginner
class, in which the potential new Carmichaels,
McGraths and Pastranas rise to the occasion.
At Canyon, the class has a wide array of riders, including a young female Yamaha rider,
Yanni Krehbiel, who finished 15th, proving
that playing in the dirt isn't just for the boys.
With 50 percent of the riders receiving
tro~
phies, first-time trophy winners such as Jeff
Brown will surely be looking for more. The
overall on the day went to the promising HiTech Coating-sponsored Dustin Tellez, who
finished first in both motos, taking the number-one trophy for the day. FollOWing Tellez
was Kawasaki jockey Jeremy Williamson. The
third spot on the podium belonged to Wes
Foster, riding another KX80 sponsored by
CWI.

Suzuki's Shane Bess and Honda's Dennis
Stapleton scored muddied 125cc and 250
Pros wins, respectively, at the rain-shortened
third round of the Northern Califomia qualifiers for the CMC Golden State Nationals at
Hanford Fairgrounds.
"Ride your first moto ZlS if it were your last
moto," were the instructions given by
CMA/CMC race promoter Aaron Pipes before
the practice even began, his face drenched by
light sprinkles. "If it gets sloppy out there and
the [Iapl checkers can't read your numbers,
well, we can't promise you'll get your second
moto."
His prediction proved correct.
By the time the 125cc Pros hit the track for
their 10-lap event, the course was already
to lead Mitchell and Stahl in the standings.

Perennial powerhouse Michael Parker was
on the prowl in the eocc divisions. Junior
Cycle star Shawn Hayes, stepping up to the
plate in the eocc class, led off a fast field in the
combined eocc race. Josh laFountaine and
Anthony Hart were right on his rear fender. As
the first lap unfolded, Parker knocked off riders
one by one to move into second, behind
laFountaine, who had grabbed the point. Getting past laFountaine would be considerably

little brother Jeagher laFountaine.
Hart opened some eyes with the holeshot
in race two. Josh laFountaine was right there
once again, as was Prince Kapahulehua. Parker was again thrashing through the weeds on
his way to first place; by midrace, Parker took
over after another scintillating struggle with
Josh laFountaine. The top two riders stayed
close all race long, but Parker prevailed once
again, eaming the overall 80cc (12-16) title
over the tenacious Josh Lafountaine and
Hart. Hayes knocked off the 80cc (7-11)
class, leading Jeagher LaFountaine and
Kapahulehua in the results.
