Round 14: Spare Parts Motorcycle Club
Forrester Carves
Out Another One
seconds over the next two laps despite a few
miscues.
"I fell three times the third lap, once in the
creek just before the check," Forrester
explained. "I ~lso stopped for gas th~t lap, and
I figured Steve was going to catch me then. I
rode as hard as I could go after that, because I
didn't want to get into a battle with him."
Leivan had some trouble of his own and
lost some time after drawing as close as 27
seconds behind the leader heading into lap
four. Forrester had performed flawlessly during that lap and opened a gap of 50 seconds
going into the final lap. Leivan was comfortable in second, while Nesbitt checked in alone
in third and was just over the two-hour mark
on his Pro Circuit/IMS/Maxima/Factory
EffexfTeam Green 10<250, meaning the battle
for the win was a two-man affair. Actually,
it wasn't much of a race at 2111, as Forrester
knocked off another consistent lap to take victory number six of the season, 53 seconds up
on Leivan. For the third time during the 2002
c8mpaign, Lelvan finished in the runner-up
position on his VZ25OF.
"I knew the st~rt was critical and I got off
the line good," said Dunlop/Silkolene/
Answer/Clarke/DP Brakes-backed Leivan,
"but then I fell and lost some time in the dust. I
rode as hard as I thought was safe ~nd I just
couldn't make up any time on Brandon. I hope
he was h8ving a good ride, because he was
kicking my butt.·
Nesbitt finished third, and then came
the winner of the A class, Anthony Meyer. The
young YZ250F rider improved one position
per lap and hunted down class champion Rick
Matteson, taking the lead on the final lap and
c18iming his second class win of the se8son
and a career-high overall placing.
Lars Valin claimed fifth overall on his
Moose/Motui-backed Honda in his last ride
before heading off to the ISDE in the Czech
Republic.
Matteson was just five seconds behind
Valin on adjusted time for sixth overall, but he
scored more than enough points to clinch his
class title and a trip to the AA division in
2003. Seventh overall (and third A rider) was
Mark Gay, who has put together a very
impressive string of finishes since starting out
the year with an injured shoulder. Tracy Bauman claimed eighth overall on his Jones Pow-
Bv FRANK lEJVAl'l
EUGENE, MO, SEPT. 22
In a dominating perform~nce, Team Green/
J&W Cycles rider Brandon Forrester claimed
the overall win at round 14 of the Missouri
Hare Scrambles Championship. Forrester took
the e~rly lead with a fast trip through a creek
section just after the start lind continued in the
front-running position until the checkered flag
fell after two hours and 24 minutes.
The Spare Parts Motorcycle Club ventured
to a new piece of property and laid out a
9.7-mile course that featured a mix of virgin
single-track and established two-track trail.
There was also a creek section that measured
nearly a mile and had about everything a
creek could throw at you. Slick rocks, deep
w~ter and soft whoops gave the riders trouble
throughout the event.
In addition to the creek, incredibly thick
dust played a role in the race. The rem~ining
8 1/2 miles of trail was very dry due to the
lack of rain for more than three weeks. Deep
powder formed in nearly every corner and
kept visibility to a minimum, making wheelto-wheel racing nearly nonexistent
As a 5maller-than-normal field of AA riders
lined up at the start, a couple of key players
were absent. Chris Thiele, who will probably
fmish in third place for the season, was on the
sidelines with a broken navicular bone in his
wrist th~t he suffered while pr~cticing a week
prior. Holeshot master Doug Stone was also a
no-show. Back in action for the first time since
early June, when he suffered a broken shoulder blade, was Bobby Duncan, on his KTM
200.
Aaron Shaw led the field into the woods
and enjoyed a mile of dust-free trail until he
hit the creek section and Forrester went blazing by. SCR/Yamaha-backed Steve Leivan
was off to his best start of the year in third but
fell early on when he hit something in the dust
that he couldn't see. Chris Nesbitt rode past
and into third on his Kawasaki.
Leivan was able to make a couple of quick
passes in the creek and move into second, but
Forrester w~s already beginning to pull away.
The Moose/Devol/Factory Connection/M2R/
Scott-backed rider held a iead of nearly 40

Nevada State Championship Series
Round 7: Honey Lake Motocross Park
Siminoe Superior
at the Lake
B V CASHEL HACKlAl'ID
MILFORD, CA, SEPT. 29
Honey L~ke Motocross Park in California
played host to the seventh round of the Nevada State Championship Series on Sunday,
September 29. As the we~ther is cooler and a
little more "racer-friendly" closer to the coast,
more than 300 riders geared up to show off
their talents.
Moto one of the 50cc (7 and older) class
had an array of stars and starlets. As the kids
took to the line, they could be seen grooming
the starting-gate area and pumping themselves up. Off the gate first was Ty Siminoe,
who h8i1s from Reno, Nevad8. Siminoe is
already established among Nevada riders and
is definjtely not a newcomer to Honey Lake.
Siminoe shows no sign of inhibition and strong
signs of determination. C1~iming the holeshot,
he was fallowed onto the track by Chase
Eichele, Matthew Bisceglia ~nd Mark Hansen,
all hot on his tail. The Pee Wee track is a
scaled-down version of the "big" track, complete with tabietop, whoop section and double
jumps. These boys were tearing up the track.
Opening his iead considerably, Siminoe had
the win in the bag early in the race, leaving
Eichele, Bisceglia and Hansen vying for second position. Eicheie chose a wide outside line
before the tabletop section, ~lIowing Bisceglia
to sneak past him. Eichele was not giving In
easily, however, and he launched himself off
the face of the double jumps, clearing them
and regaining second position all in one fell
swoop. The checkered flag went up and Siminoe came out victorious, with Eichele 8nd Bisceglia in second and third, respectively.
In moto two, Bisceglia lined up with
renewed determination. Bisceglia and Siminoe
battled for the holeshot, with Bisceglia using
his early gate pick to his advantage ~nd tuming onto the track with the holeshot. The two
battled out front for almost the whole of the
first lap until eventually Siminoe pulled out
front and didn't give Biscegli~ another chance
at first place. Siminoe went 1-1 for the overall
win. Biscegli~ (3-2) was second overall,
and Eichele (2-4) was a well-deserved third
overall.
"I like to win because it is more fun than
losing," Siminoe said, ever the mllster of
understatement.
Honey Lake had another large turnout in
the 250cc Pro class. In moto one, Ty Carson,
Beau Judge and Kenny Lash battled it out
from the drop of the gate all the way up the
straight, with Carson quick on the take to
claim the holeshot. Lash ~nd Carson found
themselves in a two-man race e8rly in the
moto. Lash ran into some difficulty, ~s he
couldn't find the opening he needed to pass
Carson, who led for the first three laps, with
Lash close behind ~nd closing in. The two
came over the tabletop and C8rson rounded
onto the double jumps just seconds ahelld of
Lash. Being one of the very few riders who
can clear this section, Lash did as expected
and put Carson in second position. Lash proceeded to lead the rest of the race, and he
took the overall with a 1-1 tally.
Local talent will out, and this seems to be
more and more evident at each race, lIIS the
Robik boys and Beau Meier are quickly making their way up the ranks. Meier was both a
strong competitor and finisher in the 2001
Arenacross Series. The boys have been using
Honey Lake Motocross Park: Ty Siminoe topped the 50cc (7 and Older) Division Two
contest at the seventh round of the Nevada State Championship Series In Milford,
California. His racing philosophy? "I like to win because It is more fun than losing."
