Club's Tri-Race Series, held at Edwards Air
Force Base.
The first Senior Novice moto was all Alan
Hoover's. The CRF450-mounted Hoover
turned his holeshot into a wire-ta-wire romp.
Reina gated in second place and kept Hoover
in his sights, just waiting for a mistake thlllt
never occurred. Third at the checkers went to
Frank Mattocks, with Anthony Lorek making
his way around Earl Penny Jr. for fourth.
Reina got the upper hand off the start in
moto two to lead Hoover, Lorek and Mattocks.
Reina and Hoover appeared to be pretty evenly matched as they negotiated their way

Hoover was unable to make a pass, but Reine
was not able to pull away, either. In the end,
Reina's 2-1 tally topped Hoover's 1-2 score
for the overall honors. Lorek (4-3). Mattocks
(3-5) and Penny (5-4) finished third through
fifth, respectively.
Rick Hemme edged out Ryan Reina after a
couple of turns to lead the opening 125cc
Novice moto. Hemme crashed his way back
to third place on lap two, with Ryan now holding a five-second cushion over Len Elwell,
who quickly made his way toward the front of
the field. Reina continued on unchallenged for
the first-moto win. Hemme closed in on Elwell
on the final circuit but had to settle for a thirdplace finish. Fourth went to Kyle Jenkins, with
Mark Brewer putting a last-lap pass on Jason
Monahan for fifth.
Reina put his JMG Motorsports/EVS/
Zeal/Motul-backed YZ250F into the point
position at the drop of the gate in moto two.
By the end of lap one, Reina had his hands full
with Brett Klein and Elwell. Reina fought off
the challenges of the Honda-mounted duo for
a couple of laps before upping the pace and
pulling away for a sweep of the field. Elwell
came out on top of the heated battle with
Klein to claim second overall. Monahan went
6-4 to edge out the 5-5 score of Brewer and
CN
the 3-7 tally of Hemme for third overall.
