AMA Fall Classic Four-Stroke Nationals Round 2: Birch Creek Motorsports Parle Smith Reigns! Bv JAV HAUSER DANVIllE, VA, SEPT. 16 s the reigning Fall Classic FourStroke National champ, Kelly Smith wears his number-one crown well. Hailing from Ludington, Michigan, and armed with a very potent factory KTM 520, Smith laid down the law at the second round of the series with a commanding doublemoto sweep, proving he is still the king of this series. Everyone in the country knows that this was a particularly tough weekend to go racing, in light of the recent events around the country, but as they say, "The show must go on" and that's what 38 strong racers from 13 states did at Birch Creek Motorsports Park. With a great track in perfect condition and many top fourstroke pilots on hand, the racing was fantastic and tight. Last year's event winner, Clark Stiles, came up from Alabama and gave Smith a run for his money, as did local hero Kevin Walker, coming off two championships this year alone at Loretta Lynn's. Georgia's Matt Walker (no relation to Kevin) was on the gas and was showing major speed, running up front in the first moto. Matt's day soon turned sour, as a hard fall in another class put him out for the day. When the gate dropped for the first moto, 38 four-bangers charged up the long Birch Creek start with Smith at the head of the field on his strong KTM 520, followed by the two Walkers. KTM rider Brian Mason from 1I1i- A nois fought off Stiles to stay in the top five in the early going. Smith quickly made it apparent that this was going to be a tough moto as he set a blazing-fast pace. The two Yamahamounted Walkers were in their own battle, but their duel kept them nipping at Smith's rear fender well past halfway through the moto. As the moto wore down, Matt Walker was finally in charge of second position and putting major heat on Smith, but Smith never faltered. When the white flag was shown to Smith, he looked so strong that he probably could have gone another 10 laps, and he recorded his first moto win of the day. Kevin Walker never really lost sight of the lead pair and rode in for a third. Stiles quietly rode the entire moto in fourth and finished there. Mason, meanwhile, had to fight for fifth the whole moto with arenacrossregular Jeff Gibson, Michael Campbell and yet another local rider who had worked his way up toward the front, Mark Wagner. In the end, Mason held on to his top-five run. Campbell moved into sixth, over Wagner and Gibson. Matt Walker very likely could have had something for Smith in moto two, but he was unable to make the next gate. A crash while running near the front of the 250cc Pro Fall Classic put the hard charger from Georgia out, so his final score was 2-DNS for 33rd. Moto two of the Four-Stroke National was a repeat at the start, as Smith nailed down another perfect holeshot. Gibson pulled a better shot out of the gate this time around and Birch Creek Motorsports Parte Kelly Smith (1) nails down the second-moto holeshot over Jeff Gibson (275), Clark Stiles (behind Smith), Kevin Walker (859) and the rest of the pack at round two of the AMA Fall Classic Four-Stroke Nationals In Danville, Virginia. Smith won both motes_
