(Above) Eddie Payne was the overall winner of the competitive 125cc .Iunior class at the Yakima Motorsports Complex. (Left) With a win in the 125cc and Before The Hill Intennediate classes at the series finale in Yakima, Washington, Tyler Flck also earned overall series titles In both classes. YAKIMA, WA, JULY 15 daho's Chaun McAlister and Washington's Dan Moore spent much of the eight-round CMC Pac West Nationals in close quarters. At the series' finale, it was much the same story: McAlister edged Moore in the 125cc and 250cc Pro classes to snare a pair of Professional-class wins at Yakima; Moore returned the favor by picking up overall wins in the Vet Over 25 and Over 30 classes to even the score. In the end, however, Moore had the final say, posting series titles in all four classes. One of the closest battles of the series was waged in the 250cc Pro class. Moore and McAlister traded leads throughout the first moto - as many as six times during a single lap with the outcome in favor of the Beaudry Motorsports/Motion Sportsbacked McAlister. National number 95, Billy Binckley, worked up from a poor start to enter the mix, finishing a close third in the moto, followed by Eric Waunch, J.R. Vielle and Todd Hinders. In moto two, McAlister darted out in front of the pack. and the Suzuki rider from Coeur d'Alene remained in the position to the finish, which was good for an overall win. Moore came from fourth on the next-to-Iast lap to overtake Waunch late in the moto, but the Tuning By Travis/Arai/Onebacked Moore couldn't get around the Yamaha-mounted Binckley, who held a lock on the second-place spot. Binckley (3-2) carded one of his best performances of the series for second overall, ahead of Moore (2-3). Waunch (4-4) and Hinders (6-5). 85cc (12-13) classes. Tony Boughten, the dominant rider at round seven, trailed the Kawasaki-mounted DeAtley in both Supermini motos to snare second overall, followed by Kevin Urquhart. The 85cc age-group classes ran concurrently, with DeAtley winning the 85cc (12-13) class, Michael Schmeck winning the 85cc (7 - 11) class and Boughten winning the 85cc (14-16) class. Kawasaki jockey Ryan Abrigo and Honda pilot Tyler Fick clinched series titles with their impressive performances. Abrigo's 3-1 finishes earned him the 250cc Intermediate-class title, while Fick used a 2-1 tally to take the top honors in the 125cc Intermediate class. Oregon's Brody Thom has been in the top three for much of the series in the Pee Wee (4-6) class. On this day, the Cobra rider from Boring, Oregon, stepped up his performance by soundly thrashing the class with a 1-1 sweep. Trailing Thom were Hunter Evanson and Cody Mecham. Idaho's Tanner Mort, also a consistent placer in the series, used a 1- 1 tally to top the Pee Wee (7-8) class. Vance Davis and Trent Jones were second and third. CN I Moore, McAlister, Waunch, Garrhett Carter and Mitch Merritt assumed the top five positions in the first 125cc Pro moto. Moore was pressured by McAlister throughout the eight-lap moto but, unlike in the 250cc class, Moore won the battle for supremacy. McAlister finished second, ahead of Carter, Oregon's Mike Storm and Waunch. Moto two was a different story. Storm put his Honda in front of the field, followed by McAlister and Moore. McAlister took the lead from SMP/Hillsboro Motorcycles-supported Storm just past the midway point of the moto, and the former National number holder kept the point position to the finish. Moore also displaced Storm, but he couldn't narrow the gap on his fellow RM rider. McAlister won the overall via 2-1 placings, while Moore (1-2) finished second. Storm (4-3), Waunch (5-4) and Carter (3-6) rounded out the top five finishers overall.
