'" was close enough that I ran into Stone
when he killed his bike," Forrester recounted.
"I got around him and then 1 really turned
it on."
With a very high-speed, 12.6·mile course
that consisted of fast sand whoops, fire roads,
two-track woods sections, and some virgin
single-track, the leaders turned laps in just
over 30 minutes, meaning a four-lap race and
an average speed of 25.2 mph. Included on
the trail was an extremely long, hard·packed,
wide-open straightaway that allowed everyone
to check for headshake.
Stone took his fourth consecutive holeshot
aboard his Dell's Honda CR250 and held the
lead until reaching the straightaway just prior
to the end of the lap. Local rider Ken Yount
and Forrester both went past the former
motocrosser to hold down the top two spots

Missouri Hare Scrambles Championship Series
Round 8: Flat River Grand Prix
while Stone stopped for goggles and slipped
back into the pack.
After a back·of·the·pack start, SCR/Yamaha·backed Steve Leivan had ridden his YZ426
into third, just behind Yount and Forrester, at
the start of lap two. However, the winner of
round seven encountered trouble.
"Since the course was so fast, J decided to
ride a 426 today," Leivan said. "The bike was
new and I didn't have it jetted properly, but I
was dealing with it all right until I fell over and
couldn't get it started. The whole class went
by me."
Despite losing nearly a minute and a half,
Leivan fought all the way to the end to finish
fourth.
After holding the lead for the first two laps,
Yount started to slip backward during lap
three. Forrester took over the lead, with Stone
10 seconds behind by lap's end and with Chris
Nesbitt hot on his heels. Stone was the rider
on the move, and when he caught Nesbitt, the
Kawasaki Team Green rider hitched a ride.
"Stone was really going when he caught
me," Nesbitt said. "We reeled in Forrester
pretty fast and then it seemed like we slowed
down and settled into a pace."
While Forrester and Nesbitt opted to stop
for fuel going into what tumed out to be the
last lap, Stone rolled on and into the lead. Forrester got out of the pits close behind, with
Nesbitt fighting problems with his dry break
but holding third. Another Kawasaki, ridden by
Ryan Wuebbeling, was in fourth, with Yount
rounding out the top five.
Stone was hard on the gas during the last
lap but couldn't shake Forrester, The 17-year-
