At the checkers, Nelson took the win, while Miller put in one of his best efforts for second, followed by Morrison. "I really wanted to win that one," Miller later said. "I felt good out there in that moto and really thought I had a chance of winning that one, but Nelson's fast and I can't complain about taking-~econdto him." The Schoolboy class was a plete disaster for Morrison, as he crashed hard in moto one while trying to chase down Nelson for the lead and then suffered a mechanical DNF in moto two while leading Nelson. On the other hand, Nelson simply walked away with both moto wins and even gave the crowd a show, with some aerial tricks. Tony Sherman put in a good effort and walked away with second overall via a 3-2 score, and Anthony Maniglia ended up third on the day with a 5-3 tally. In 250cc Intermediate action, Miller couldn't be touched, as he simply smoked the field en route to a pair of back-to-back, wire-to-wire victories. Honda-mounted Corey Murphy got the nod for second overall on the day after a good first-moto battle with Joey Rodriguez. While Rodriguez ended up beating Murphy for second, Murphy rebounded in moto two with a strong second of his own. Rodriguez rounded out the top three with a 2-4 score. eN = o.tfield bceway Jurl_ California Ilesults: Nnenober 4, 20Dl UllllInd 4) Pee Wee Track 50 (4-6) P/W JR: 1. Gunner Sigler (Yam); 2.
