By SAM HALBERT
CASTLE ROCK, WA, JULY 27
In the three-lap Pro Dash For Cash, Jeff
Annen got the holeshot, followed by the two
Halbert brothers, Sam and Jethro. The order
remained the same to the finish.
Jethro Halbert got the holeshot at the start
of the Pro Sport/Expert main event, followed
by Ryan Anderson, Eric Rickman and Annen.
Halbert led the first lap until his bike broke
and he pulled off, bumping the rest of the
pack up one spot. Anderson pulled away and
took the win, ahead of Rickman and Annen.
Christian Vernon got the holeshot at the
start of the Open Money main event, followed
by J.P, Simonson, Annen, Sam Halbert, Marty
Weisler and the rest of the pack. Vemon started to gap the rest of the field as Simonson
seemed to be holding up Annen, until Simonson bailed off over the jump about 10 laps into
the race, bringing out the red flag.
On the third attempt, the single-file restart
was called fair, and Vernon was in the lead,
ahead of Annen and Eric Rickman, but Sam
quickly regained third by passing Rickman. It
became a five-lap dash to the finish, with
Annen all over Vernon, who bobbled, bringing
Annen and Sam right up to his rear wheel and
making the race exciting, but Vernon was able
to hold on to the lead and take the win, ahead
of Annen, Sam, and Jethro Halbert, who
worked his way up to fourth from the third row
after switching to Dick Wall's backup bike,
Rickman rounded out the top five,
Danny Casey got the holeshot in the Open
Motorcycle main, followed by Nick Sellers and
John Bredfield. Sam and Weisler worked their
way through the field, picking off riders one by
one; they ended up third and fourth halfway
through the race. Weisler made a pass on
Sam down the front straight, but Sam got him
back in turn one and proceeded to work on
Sellers, who was holding second, Marty, however, repl5lssed Sam around the outside, and
on the last lap they both passed Sellers.
Danny Casey got in the lead early and stayed
out of the battles. Weisler and Sam Halbert
rounded out the top three.
In the 85cc Modified main event, Brent
Schnitzer got the holeshot, ahead of Brad
Baker, Jacob Lehmann and Scott Baker. Brad
was all over Schnitzer; he made a few passes
down the straightaway, but they didn't stick at
first, until, after a few intense laps, Brad pulled
off the pass. However, it didn't look like
Schnitzer was ready to settle for second, as he
put on a few very determined charges.
attempting to regain the lead, but Brad held

Lehman and Scott Baker, who was all over
Lehman but wasn't able to pull off a pass.
