Edward Humphrey. Humphrey went right to
work on Cobb, shoWing him a tire at every
ning all four of his motos in convincing style.
Yamaha of San Antonio/JM Racing/5-Magics
MX-backed Waylon McCulloch did his best to
hang with Voss in the 125cc Expert contest
but couldn't hold his pace. McCulloch finished
out the race with a 3-2 score, giving him second overall on the day. Local rider Cole Brown
had a great first mota, taking second lifter battling with Voss, McCulloch, Todd Downs and
rookie Ian Matthews. Brown, backed by KTM
of San Antonio, looked like he would finish in
the top three, but a seventh-place finish in
moto two kept him off the podium. Big man
Todd "D-Day" Downs was riding a Cycle
Country-backed Yamaha YZ250F and came
from behind in both his 125cc Expert motos
for third overall on a 5-3 tally. Downs, also
sponsored by Maxxis, Spy, GTDNP Racing
Fuels, Maxima and Answer, had to work
extra-hard due to his size and weight. Alamo
Cycle Plex/Wide Open Racing-backed
Matthews finished fourth overall on a 4-4
score, with Brown rounding out the top five.
When the gate dropped for the first 250cc
Expert moto, Voss pulled a perfect holeshot
and set a superfast pace, followed by Brown,
David Tamow, Brandon Beabout and Downs.
Once again, Brown looked superfast in the
first mota, chasing Voss and almost keeping
pace on his KTM 520. Brown finished a
respectable second in mota one but did not
finish the second moto. Joe Harrison Motorsports/Fly/EVS/Fetish Clothing/FMF-backed
Beabout overC8me two bad starts to finish
third overall on a 3-3 score after a heated battle with Downs over second in the second
mota. Beabout was having some problems
with his rear brake on his CRF450R despite
installing new brake pads between motos.
After running in second place for most of the
second moto, Beabout finally fell victim to
Downs, who muscled his RM250 around
Beabout's Honda. D-Day finished out the day
with a 4-2 score for second overall, while
Tamow finished fourth overall on a 6-4 tally.
New Braunfels Honda/Scott/Thor-sponsored
Dustin Cantrell of Briarcliff, Texas, rounded
out the top five on a 7-6 score.
Yamaha of San Antonio/MSR/Silkolenebacked Derek Howerton had a fantastic day,
taking class victories in both the 60cc Senior
and 60cc Open classes. The young "Rhinestone Cowboy" owned every single lap, posting a perfect 1-1 score in each division. Mexico's Daniel Barros kept Howerton honest in
the 60cc Senior class, finishing a close second, and McAllen's Christian Besada did the
same in the 60cc Open class.

Humphrey and Cobb. Humphrey made the
pass on Cobb in the comer, and then Bauer
went after Cobb. Bauer took over the third
position while Drew Fleming came under
Cobb to take fourth. Talbert took off, leaving
Humphrey a distant second. Ryan Lauten
worked past Cobb and Fleming to battle
BlIuer for third. Lauten went into the whoop

pass for the third position. Lauten quickly
went to work on Humphrey; he was putting
a tire under Humphrey every chance he
got. Lauten stretched out on a jump past
Humphrey to take second place at the
white flag. Lauten held off Humphrey for the
second position.
