Nortbwest Amateur Supercross Championship Deschutes County Expo Center Hammer Time for Currier, Haberlock By Cu.Y UGHT REDMOND, OR, FEB. 7-8 Diminutive Northwest speedsters Shawn Haberlock and Landon Currier hammered the competition during the Amateur portion of the two-day Northwest Supercross Championship, held at Deschutes County Fairgrounds' Expo Center in central Oregon. The third annual running of this event drew riders from Washington, Califomia, Nevada, Oregon and Idaho. Few, though, were as successful as Haberlock, the winner of the 80cc (12-15) and Supermini classes, or Currier, who on both nights won the 60cc (9-11) and 60cc Open classes. Currier also won Friday's aocc (7-1 I) class, in front of 3000 spectators on Friday. A capacity crowd of 4000 on Saturday night enjoyed half-time antics from the Metal Mulisha. Currier. riding KTM and Yamaha machinery, posted five overall wins on the weekend, including a three-class domjnation on Friday night. The rider from LaCenter was looking to duplicate a third overall win on Saturday as well when an off-track excursion allowed his fellow Washingtonian Jake Anstett to top the second 80cc (7-11) moto and derail what could have been Currier's sixth win of the weekend in an eight-race effort. QualityChecked Certified Pre-owned ~ Yamaha· mounted Nathan Whitlow proved that consistency pays by taking the overall 125cc Junior win with 2-2 placings. KTM rider William Young, who made the trek from Boise, Idaho, beat Whitlow to the finish in moto two, but Young placed fourth in moto one and netted second overall. Anstett, who is new to the 125cc ranks, was impressive aboard the larger machine and went 3-4 to finish third in the l8-rider class. On Saturday, Cobra-mounted Conner Mitchell rode an inspiring race in the Pee Wee (3-6) class and, with the overall win. completed his weekend sweep of the class. Mitchell soared to impressive heights in his dual moto wins and was the only 50cc (3-6) rider to clear the massive infield double jump. Joshua Ross and Tristan Trowbridge placed second to Mitchell in the two motos (nearly half a lap back); the KTM-mounted Ross took second overall. Devin Harriman and local rider Chris Alldredge were equally impressive in the elder Pee Wee (7-8) class. Track announcer Paul Watts got the crowd revved up as Alldredge and Washington's Harriman battled back and forth. Alldredge made an amazing surge forward through traffic in moto two to catch the leader, Harriman, but instead of making a pass, the rider from Redmond, Oregon. took an off-track excursion, which aided in Harriman's moto win, as well as the overall win on a 2-1 taliy. On Saturday, Haberlock again trounced the competition in the 80cc (12- 15) class, grabbing the lead at the drop of the gate and remaining there to the finish. Haberlock enjoyed a huge advantage in both motos, finishing well ahead of local Suzuki rider Derrick May. Definitely inspired by the Metal Mulisha's half-time antics, May did a bit of showboating in his back-to-back second-place rides. Drew Mitchell (3-3) finished third overall, followed Haberlock was also dominant, although the resident of Portland, Oregon, was only contesting two classes per evening, both of which he won overall on the two consecutive nights of racing. Currier's first win of the weekend came in Friday's 80cc (7-11) class, where he topped Anstett and local Suzuki rider Chad Turner via a 1-1 sweep. The Yamaha-mounted Currier then came back two races later, this time aboard his KTM, to convincingly win the 60cc (9-11) class by a large margin. Washington's Thomas Nichols finished second in both motos, ahead of Oregonians Jared Thinger, Jeremy Steward and Nash Blaylock. Haberlock and Currier went head to head in the Supermini class on Friday, but. as he had done earlier in taking the 80cc (12·15) win, Haberlock scored the overall via 1-1 placings. Haberlock and Currier stayed in close quarters in moto one until Currier crashed, eventually finishing seventh. Haberlock then easily won, trailed by Anstett and Californian Kevin Sellon. Currier didn't let up in moto two. staying within a wheel of Haberlock for much of the race before dropping slightly back to trail Haberlock at moto's end. Anstett finished third and garnered second overall with his 2-3 tally. followed by Sellon (4-4), Currier (7-2) and Drew Mitchell (5-6). Gra r c • 1 :IE TMDA l , cue' e n e vv s FEBRUARY 26, 2003 63
