OZARK, AL, JUNE 1
Brandon Devilbiss scored his first win of the
Riders' Summer Shootout Series at Dixie MX,
site of round four. He posted a 1·1 sweep in
the 85cc Beginner ciass, ahead of previous
round winners Damen Dennis and Josh
Adams. The Kawasaki pilot has not finished
lower than third overall. With two races
remaining, he appears to be the rider to beat
for the series championship.
A red· flag restart in the first 85cc Beginner
moto proved costly for Adams. After pulling
the first holeshot, he was nowhere to be seen
on the second try, as Dennis led Devilbiss and
Suzuki·mounted Justin Woodfin. The lead pair
raced well ahead of the pack, with Devilbiss
riding away to a 20-second win. Adams came
back and finished ahead of Woodfin and Axel
Love in a close battle for third.
Again, Dennis put his KX85 out front in
race two, followed by Suzuki jockey Jonathan
Woodfin and Devilbiss. By the end of lap one,
Devilbiss was in second. He stalked Dennis
the entire distance, and then passed for the
win with two turns to go. Adams wasn't able to
get around Woodfin until late in the race.
Nathan Adams rounded out the top five.
At 6 foot 6 and 270 pounds. Shane Mosley
grabbed the holeshot in the first 250cc D
mota, ahead of Lee Hester, Rob Davis and
series contender Kenny Stinson. Towering
over his VZ426F, Mosley held back a secondlap challenge from Stinson, who had moved to
second, and Hester. Davis ran a close fourth
and took third when Hester fell in the back
section. Mosley held the point to the finish. On
the last lap, Davis made a key pass on Stin·
son in the whoops for second. Jeremy Richard
placed fourth on his CR250.
Stinson put his RM250 out front in race
two. ahead of Davis and Mosley. Davis set
Stinson up for a pass by cutting under him in
a turn and then riding past in the whoops.
Next, Mosley and Richard caught Stinson.
Mosley powered past in the whoops, but Davis
was out of reach. Davis's 2·1 tally beat out
Mosley's 1·2 effort in the overall scoring.
Richard was fourth, behind Stinson.
The DR Suzuki of Richard Edwards was
fastest off the line in the first Hobby moto. He
used the smooth, controllable power of the
woods machine to stay out front the whole
race. Rodney Parsons stayed close in the early
going but then had to contend with a closing

couldn't shake the determined rider. Evans
moved up and mllde it a three-way battle for
the win. Bush ran just a tick off the lead pace,
in fourth. On lap three, Parsons and Evans
made contact with Evans, hitting the deck.
Edwards won again, over Parsons. Bush
moved up a position, which gave the Enterprise, Alabama, rider third overall.

AMA's eighth-ranked 500cc supercrosser in
1974, in the Over 30/0ver 40 contest.

race one, only to have Bruer pull the trigger

mond and Mark Evans followed. Bruer and
Duprel quickly made it a two-man race.
Duprel pressured Bruer all four laps, but the
veteran never flinched. Drummond doubled
past Armstrong for third, nearly a minute
behind the leaders.

Bruer shot past down the first straight. Howard
Olive's VZ ran third, ahead of Armstrong and
Evans. Duprel relentlessly pursued Bruer. div·
ing undemeath him in a banked right·hander
at halfway. Bruer stalled in the next turn,

race-long chase. Drummond caught Olive for
third. The pair made contact and Olive went
down hard. Drummond rode on to finish third.

one, he followed Kenny Stinson to the check·
ers. Daniel Hendrix guided his KX 125 to third.
