Georgia-Alabama Championship Series Round 10: Copperhead Motocross Ward, Albers Show Brass at Copperhead around and falling, Albers kept the throttle pinned and took off for two mota wins. Searing second in 125cc C was Andrew Gaddis, who worked his way up from fifth to pass Shane Mills on the last lap for second. Miils settled for third, while Brett Dyer rode strong for fourth, Albers also dominated the Youth (12-15) class, though Blake Hankins took the holeshot before Albers could get by. Hankins took full advantage of his great start, holding on to finish second, ahead of Brett Dyer. Eduardo Cordoba continued his winning ways in the 50cc (4-6) class, taking the win on the Pee Wee track. Hudson Graham finished a hard-earned second, with L.S. Goe third. Hudson Graham took the win in the Shalt class, with Leila Mullins putting in her best ride to finish second. It wasn't easy, as Jordan Quaries attempted a last-lap pass that almost ran him off the track; he recovered for a third-place finish. Quarles then took the top step of the podium in the 50cc Oil-Injected class. The first mota of the day went off before the heaviest rain, and the Over 30 and Over 40 classes started on a slightly damp track. Mike Garrett took the holeshot in the Over 30 class, closely pursued by Mxers for Jesus' By PAC 1.EwJs Bu\IRSVlLLE, GA, AUG, 25 The Georgia-Alabama Championship Series kicked off its fall portion at Copperhead Motocross in Blairsville, Georgia. Someone forgot to tell the weather, though, because it failed to cooperate; rain tumed this excellent track into a muddy mess, and only the bravest riders ventured onto the track for their motos. After several rain delays, a European·style, one-moto format was elected to score the overalls on the day. Probably the most impressive ride was that of Suzuki Yamaha of Dalton's Chad Ward, who snared the holeshot in the 125cc A class and checked out, leaving everyone else to battle for second. Riding as though the track were in perfect condition, Ward was doubling and tripling jumps that fellow Pro riders were rolling over. Extreme Cycles' Jon Boy Monk put in a good ride to finish second, and SYD's Cody Watford finished third. The only double-class winner was Auston Albers, taking the overail in both the 125cc C and Youth (12-15) classes. Albers also apparently didn't realize that it had rained, because his performances in both of his classes were very similar. While everyone else was sliding 60 SEPTEMBER 25. 2002' cue I • n _ VII' S Kevin Cozadd before Garrett fell in a slick tum. Cozadd took the point position and was in control of the moto before Garrett made the pass for the win on the last lap. Greg Roberts led the Over 40 class through the first tum, but then a fall cost him the lead. Benny Durrough took the lead and held on for a couple of laps before Roberts could recover and overtake him for the win. Durrough took second, with a hard-charging Bobby Slayton third. lach Osbome made the trek from Virginia to Copperhead and tumed some heads in the Supermini class. Freewheeling Honda's Jase Lewis wanted to show he was the man to beat in that class, though. Through the first tum, it was reigning Women's 80-1 05cc National Champion Leah Cantrell leading the pack. Lewis and Osborne squeezed by on the first lap, but Osborne fell, leaving the lead in Lewis' hands. Cantrell was pressuring Lewis heavily, but Lewis wouldn't crack. While those two were battling for the lead, Osborne was back on the move to the front of the pack. With one lap to go, Osborne moved into the iead. Cantrell was in third but shOWing Lewis a wheel in every comer. Lewis' bike had taken on some water and was bogging very badly, but he managed to hold off the charging Cantrell for second. The 85cc (12-15) class featured another battle involving Lewis, only this time it was with Gregory Roberts. Roberts and Lewis bat- 50 SHAFT: I. Conner Gr.llhllm (Yam); 2. Lelia Mulhns (Yam): 3.
