way point, but Mezera remained calm in the
second spot. This would prove wise, 8S midmota troubles led to a DNF for Herring, which
honded another comfortable victory to Mezera.
The second-mota victory rounded out the
sweep for Mezera at the top of the standings.
Yamaha-mounted Joe Pomeroy's consistent
4-4 scores netted him second on the day, and
Yamaha-mounted Nick Cassinelli c1aim~d
third with a 3-5 tally. Herring's 2-DNF placed
him back in 10th overall.
In small-bore action, the BOcc Beginner
class featured no less than 25 racers on the
gate. The win was claimed quite handily,
though, by Kawasaki pilot Dustin Peterson.
Though he scored neither holeshot, Peterson
instead used decent starts to make a methodical climb to the top of each mota. Other frontrunners included Yamaha rider Jeff Henson,
Honda-mount~d Aaron Rindy, and Kawasaki
jockey Matt Lupoid. Peterson passed all thre~
on his way to the front in the first moto, after
gating in fourth. The second mota featured
another win for Peterson, but this time he was
followed closely by Lupoid, who got the
holeshot in both motos but finished nnidpack
in the first round after some mishaps.
The standings, of course, had Peterson on
top with his perfect moto tally, followed in second by Henson, who used steady 3-4 scores to
secure his spot. Rindy (2-6) was third. Kawasaki jockey Nikki Cleaves (5-5) took fourth, and
lupoid (12-2) ended the day in fifth.
Other races of note included the secondmoto battle between J.L Bitz and Tyler York
for the BOcc Intennediate victory, with Bitz on
top in the end. York gajned some redemption
in the 60cc (10 and over) division, however,
scoring a double-mota victory on the day.
That win included a come-from-behind charge
in the second moto after an early crash that
had seemingly left him out of contention.
The Pro classes featured battles between
Yamaha riders Justin Mastalka and Fernley
local Jesse Duncan. The two swapped leads
wit.~ regularity, but in the end it was Mastalka
who topped both the 125cc and 250cc Pro
divisions on the day.

Mezera Hits the Mark
By ROBERT BEAUPR~
FERNLEY, NV, OCT. 2B
In October, the temptation is great to flee the
gray skies and falling temperatures outside
and park the bike for the winter, but a sizable
number of northern Nevada rnotocrossers
decided to gather once more for the ninth
round of the MXWest Nevada State Motocross
Championship Series. Among those finding
the effort worthwhile was Reno's Justin Mezera, who piloted his Honda to the 250cc
Junior victory.
Mezera claimed a double-mota sweep,
despite the challenges of 13 other competitors. The first mota featured a Mezera holeshot
and runaway victory, but the second round
was made more interesting by Yamaha rider
Wes Herring, who came from behind for second place in the first mota. Although Mezera
again claimed the lead at the second start,
Herring soon found his way to Mezera's rear
fender and began applying the pressure. Herring made a pass for the lead around the mid-
