Longtime Tri-Cities race supporter Oscar Sheets, backed by Shumate Motorsports, surprised local riders by showing up on a CRF450R. After years of touting the virtues of Suzuki two-strokes, Sheets rode a red fourstroke for the first time. When told that it just didn't seem quite right, Sheets replied, "It seems odd to me, too.· Sheets didn't take long to adjust to the roll-'n'-go power of the big thumper, getting off to a holes hot in moto one in the OldTimers Beginners class. Sheets, Dave Ivey and Richland chiropractor Greg "Iron DoeSullivan battled for first in moto one. Outpowered by the thumpers, Doc had to settle for third, behind Sheets and Ivey. Joe Corder had trouble staying on the track and did not finish moto one. With Sheets not running in moto two, Corder got to the first corner in first place. Corder looked fast, but Sullivan's conditioning paid off. As Corder started to fade, Sullivan got past and held on for first. Sullivan took first overall. followed by Ivey, Ross Roberts, Sheets and Corder. Drew Ivey, a 125cc Junior rider who is also recovering from dual tib-fib breaks, had to move into the 250cc Junior class due to mechanical problems with his 125. Uncle Dave Ivey loaned Drew the big YZ426F for a spin around the sand. Ivey looked sharp on the big bike, but a stall in moto one put him at the back of the track. Drew didn't have the four-stroke starting drill down yet Drew managed to keep the bike running in moto two and finished 16th overall. S/MINI: 1. Beau Weigand (Yam): 2. Buck Ford (Kaw): 3.

Carnegie Cycle Park Morais in the Money at Carnegie form of his new Motoworld Suzukis. Morais looked smooth on the new bikes, taking all four mota wins. In the 125cc Pro class, Morais battled his homeboy Robert Harold, who was also fast but wasn't quite able to match Morais' speed. The Yamaha pilot had to settle for second on the day. In the 250cc Pro class, Morais had some more competition, in the form of Suzuki rider Billy Jurevich. Harold and Jurevich chased Morais in both motos, but their race ended up being for second. With Morais taking the wins, Jurevich netted second aboard his AIIAmerican-sponsored Suzuki, while Harold took third. In the 125cc Intermediate class, Nick Davis shined on this day. Davis won both motos, thereby ensuring his first-place spot on the podium. Davis was followed by fellow Suzuki rider Brett Markarian, who went 2-2 for second overall. Third went to Yamahamounted Anthony Maniglia, who went 3-3 for the day. The 50cc Open class was exciting to watch, with the little guys banging bars to decide the winner. In moto one, KTM rider R.J. Mendez from Salinas was doing the deed, snagging the first-moto win. Mendez was foilowed across the line by Polini rider Anthony Parks. Third was Mark Braden, who was also riding a Polini. In moto two, Braden switched on the afterburners and checked out, winning the moto. Mendez rode strong and finished second, while Parks finished a solid third. Mendez took the overall on the day with his 1-2 finishes. Mark Braden finished second overall via his 3-1 scores, and Parks finished third with 2-3 scores. This event's Dash For Cash races were once again exciting to watch. This week also marked the addition of a 60cc Dash For Cash. Kawasaki jockey Tyler Bereman can now lay claim to winning the first-ever 60cc DFCI Meanwhile, the 80cc DFC honors went to Beau Weigand (how many times does that make now, Beau?) and, as stated earlier, Morais did the butt-kicking in the big-bike Dash (and the taking home of the money).

The riders went one-twa-three in both motos. Huge pile-ups piagued the start of the 125cc grip-and-rip Beginner class. The 25-rider full gate saw riders backed up like an L.A, freeway in the first comer in both motos. This contest marked the retum of rider Bryce Uvesey, coming off tib-fib breaks of left and right legs.
