Williams & Vigen Racing/RAW
Construction/LCS Racing's Nick
Williams and Marc Williams finished
15th and 16th, respectively, on their
Wood-Rotaxes. Bob & Dick Weirback's Dominic Beaulac (Rot) made
a 20-hour drive from Canada.only to
fall off in the main and be credited
with a last-place finish.
Kevin Varnes has taken the points
lead in the 505 Expert Hot Shoe as
well as the 750/1 000 Hot Shoe.
Varnes' 62 points leads Kevin Atherton, Dan Stanley and Chris Carr's 49,
with Joe Kopp just behind them on 46.
While the Expert main had a more
traditional look about it, the Pro-Sport
class was very DTX top-heavy. The
four heats would only move the top
three riders into the main.
The first heat saw Rotax-mounted
Rob Pearson (Paint n Place/Silkolene)
taking the win. The second heat
looked like it belonged to Dustin
Crow aboard Bryan Bigelow's DTX
Honda, but it was not to be as Crow
hit the ground in turn one. He was
uninjured, but done for the day. Matt
Burton took over on his Yamaha and
easily took the win. The third heat
saw Michigan's Henry Wiles holding
off a fast-closing Merle Scherb (Nallin
Racing). Both riders were Hondamounted. The last heat was the
fastest Pro-Sport heat, with Parents/
Bill's Cycle Shop-backed Wesley
Brown pushing his Honda well ahead
of the traditional Rotax of Nick
Daniels.
Daniels got a great holeshot in the
Pro-Sport Main, but it was red-flagged
when Rob Pearson fell in turn three.
Everyone made the restart, but this
time it was Brown off the line first.
Daniels held second for a couple of
laps before Wiles blasted by. Wiles
was able to close somewhat on Brown
but was never able to make a serious
challenge. Daniels filled out the podium as he rode home alone in third.
Scherb and Matt Burton battled over
fourth, with Scherb winning that spot.
Despite not qualifying for the main
event, Ohio's Charlie Italia leads the
505 Pro-Sport Hot Shoe points race
with 57. Oklahoma's Jerry Cartwright
finished sixth and moved into second
in the points over Rob Pearson, Wes
Brown and Jason Goodwin.
