"I loved the track today - it was awesome'" Walters said. "But I had some bad luck with crashes, and a flat front tire in the opening Four-Stroke moto took its toll. White Brothers gave me a great bike today, along with Axo, Honda Une Lubricants, HJC, Smith, Dunlop, FMF and 909. I will concentrate on the next round to avenge today's bad outing." In the 125cc Pro-Am division, the first moto was all Whitcraft's from the drop of the gate to the checkered flag. Early favorite Smith was down in the mud in a first-comer crash and didn't restart the moto. However. Smjth came out gunning for the win in the second moto. while Whitcraft rode smart for the overall win. In the second moto, Tyson Hadsell pulled the holeshot and then diced with Smith, only to see his good moto literally go up in smoke when the BSY Yamaha's motor went sour. "I enjoyed the Red Bud track today, but my bike breaking while dicing with Smith hurt," Hadsell said. "In the 250cc Pro-Am division, I couldn't get a start. I gave up too much advantage to the leaders early on. But I had some good rides today. Thanks to BSY, Pro Circuit, Fox, Scott, Wiseco and Dunlop for the support. " The 125cc Pro-Am winner, Chris Whitcraft, was excited about his victory. "I'm real happy about the win today!" Whitcraft enthused. "I just kept telling myself to push harder when leading the first moto. I knew there was some fast guys. I just kept pushing and not looking back. Then, the second moto, I knew 1 had the overall and tried not to make any mistakes. Much thanks to Sportcycle Yamaha, Yosh, MXReaiator.com, Thor, EVS and my parents for the support. This feels great!" Red Bud Track and Trail Buchanan. Michigan Results: September 22, 2002 (Round 3) 4-STRK PRO-AM: I. Jason McCormick (Hon): 2. Clark SUles (Han): 3. Kelly Smith (Yam); 4.
