Myers was also on the move, outjumping Renee Boehmsen into fourth.
Drake won the moto convincingly
over Whitehouse (who was struggling
with arm pump), Kocher, Myers and
Boehmsen.
Moto two was again all Drake's,
following a holeshot by Whitehouse.
Drake doubled past Whitehouse and
never looked back. The finishing
order was again Drake, Whitehouse,
Kocher, Myers and Boehmsen.
The 60-10Scc class was dominated by Kocher, who absconded with
the holeshot in both motos and took
wire-to-wire wins over a vastly
improving Myers.

PEORIA, AZ.. MAR. 10
Even though tJie skies were gray and overcast, the new grandstands were full for the
next stop On the Westem Four-Stroke Nationals tour at Canyon Offroad Park. The program
was obviously geared for the Four·Stroke big
bikes, yet the event was filled with highlights
throughout the whole day. Each of the Mini
c1l1sses were in fuji-blown competition, with a
bicycle going to the winner of each of the
classes, along with the 50-percent trophy payback.
Racers came from near and far for the big
lace, with riders coming from Oregon, Texas,
Colorado, Califomia, Montana
and Arizona. There were even
brothers - Nick and Don Bainbridge, from Fort Bragg· rac·
ing against each other. Their
AMA and bike numbers are
only one digit apart, and
that's where they would finish:
One placed 15th and the
other 16th overall.
Local favorite Jimmy
LeMastus was putting on a
training lesson about what
"home-track advantage" is.
laMastus finished second in
the last outing of the FourStrokes and had a run with
the Supercross boys when
they went through town,
putting On an enjoyable show
for all. LaMastus showed that,
On this track, it doesn't matter
whether he's On a 125, a 250
or the big four-stroke: the
view is always the same: of
his backl
With LaMastus taking
home the first·place crown,
the second-place honors went
to Ryan Terlecki from Silver·
ton, Oregon. Tim Beatty from
San Marcos, California,
rounded out the top three.
NASHVILLE, IL, MAR. 17 -I 8
The Loretta Lynn Nationals are nearly five
months away, but if you want to get there, you
have to start planning nOW. Nearly 500 riders
had that common goal in mind during the twoday qualifying event in Nashville, Illinois.
A total of 255 riders passed through the
starting gate Saturday. The Youth .nd Stock
classes were under the gun to qualify, while
the Amateurs and Modified classes had the
opportunity to use the day as practice for their
qualifier On Sunday.
One of the greatest classes to watch was
the 50cc (4-6) Shaft class. Nathan Campbell
was the overall winner but, surprisingly, he
chose not to qualify. The seCond-placed rider,
Alex Ditton, carried the 6N plate On his bike.
Ditton is On his way to making it back to the
Nationals.
Other classes qualifying On Saturday
included the rest of the 50cc bikes, and the
65cc and 85cc classes. Many of the big·bike
classes qualified under the Stock-class titles.
The Edge Racing-sponsored Brian Mason
rode to the 250cc A Stock·c1ass overall, win·
ning both motos. Mason wasn't trying to qualify, he was just getting in some pra~tice before
heading to the Houston Astrodome Supercross On March 24. Coming in behind Mason
was Roy Horton Jr., who qualified with a 2-2
score for second overall. Honda rider Joey Sly
battled to third overall.
During intennission. The Edge teamed up
with the nonprofit organization MX Family to
provide some entertaining activities and giveaways. MX Family organized a coloring cOntest, a scavenger hunt, and some great fun.
On Sunday morning, 318 riders made their
way through practice. The track was even better than the day before, and the sun was coming out. It was the Modified and Veteran riders'
chance to qualify, while the rest of the classes
just enjoyed some good racing.
The 125cc A Pro/Sport riders took to the
line. Charlie Dagner and Mason dominated the
class, but they weren't interested in qualifying.
Horton, Jason Brewington and Sly were the
top finishing qualifiers.
Many of the same riders were On the line
for the 25Occ/Open A Pro/Sport class. Horton,
Nick Walsh, Matthew Ray and Andy Hendrickson ere the riders who wiJI be advancing to the
regional event.
The Vet guys took their shot at qualifying.
The Over 30 A class will be sending Jay
Johnson, Roger Rhine. Billy Hubbard, James
Crawford, Greg Holman and Donald Rice On to
the next round.
The program was well-run, and the friend,.
Iiness of the staff, the clean and well-kept
facility and the full·service kitchen they call a
concession stand were all impressive.
