L o g Ro ad Bv BART N EWMA N BRONSON , MI, MA Y 12 Dewitt , Michigan 's othe r fast guy, Je rod Whip ple, turned poo r starts into a co up le of great win s to lock up the day 's 125c c B overa ll at Log Road MX, At the kickoff of m oto on e, the boo ming four -strokes of Colin Wright and Hunter Cae were ou t fro nt , with Ju stin Gillen and Wh ipple giving ch ase. By the close of lap two , Wr ight had dropped out of contention after sta ll ing his four-banger, while Whipple m oved past Cae in the tum preceding the fin ish-line ju m p. Coe soon had company, as Joe Penrod and Gill en pu lled up to make it a th ree· wa y battle over third. First Penrod and then Gillen found their way arou nd Cae, and then both set the ir sig hts on Whi pp le , who was just five seconds ahead. By the time the riders were completing lap four, Penrod was falling qui ckl y off the pace as his scooter appea red to be going south, and he dro pped bac k to fourth, behind Wh ippl e, Gille n and Coe. On the final lap of the race, so me b i g c h anges t o o k pl ace . Whipple motored away wit h a win , whil e Cae fo und a great li ne and put his YZF one position closer to th e fro nt. Cae wasn't the only MCR rider on the move, as Wrig ht was on the go after kill ing the m otor on his YlF and dropping all the way back to 10th on lap two. Wright moved Gillen bac k to fourth by moto's end. Terry Neubert rou nded out the to p five. Moto two found Penrod leading the pack of 12 5cc B ride rs thro ugh the finish-line area afte r naili ng the start, but afte r wi nning moto o ne Whippl e was n 't i nterested in fo llowing Penrod, and by the end of lap two it was Whipple out front. Penrod did n't give up without a fight , hounding Whipple all moto long, look ing for an opening th at never ca me. Wright was in control of third from the get-go, but he wasn't able to challenge for the lead. T he race over fourt h was a batt le, as Coe pu t his YZ250F head to head with Tyler Weston 's YZI25 and both riders were loo k ing to co me ho me fo urth at all costs, In the end, Whipp le finished out e Re sults P;W (4-6) SHAFT: I.
