BRIEFLY••• Seven-time National Motocross and Supercross Champion .JeH Ward was on hand at the World Vets. racing a CRF450R in the Over 30 Pro class on Sunday. This is notabie because he has been eligible for the Over 40 Expert/Pro class since last year. "! won the 40 class last year. but there was no one in it." Ward said, "so I figured I might as well run the Pro class this year. " • Jeffs like a 30·time National Champion," joked second-overall Terry Fowler. "I'm not surprised by him. I mean. I'm impressed that he's still going that fast. but I'm definitely not surprised." Gray. Tennessee's Kevin Walker was contesting the Over 30 Pro class at the World Vet Championships for the second time in as many years. The 32-year-old went 13-4 for seventh overall in his first visit to Glen Helen Raceway last year and then went 2-3 this year· quite an improvement. Walker was aboard a bone-stock VZ450F that he had picked up the week prior to the event. "' put my 426 forks on it." Walker said. "The shock wouldn't even fit. But it runs good." The conditions at Glen Helen (right) were horrible for the World Vet Championships. The wind was blowing a good 30 mph or more. and the track was extremely dry and dusty. thanks in part to a recent water shortage. "I've got three guys from Germany living in a motorhome in front of my house who came all the way over here to ride this!" exclaimed Doug Dubach. "It's ridiculous. And those Honda of Houston guys have Lake Whitney right in their back yard, and they came out here for this. They should've stayed home. " Fowler (Vern); 3. Kevin Welker (Vern); 4.

AJways have. Of course. everyone thinks I had a 426 when I was riding a 400, and a 450 when I was riding the 426 - , don't know what they think' have now. maybe Everts' 500 engine.· After his second-mota win. Dubach rode up to the podium with his two daughters sitting in front of him on his bike, holding on to the bars. The Edison Dye Lifetime Achievement Award went to the 1981 U.S. Motocross des Nations team of .Johnny O'Mara (top middle). Chuck Sun (top right), Danny laPorte (bottom left) and Donnie Hansen (bottom right). They were the first American team to win the Motocross des Nations, which sparked a 13-year winning streak for the Yanks. Asterisk's Tom Carson won the first·ever running of the Over 4D Pro class on Saturday. Even a second·moto fall couldn't keep him from sweeping both motos.
