champ Currier go at it with other top riders
such as Chris Howell, Jake "The Snake"
Anstett, Mike Schmeck and Travis Denham.
The DeAtleys have been riding their backyard
track, and the results are paying off: The overall order was Sam, Matt, and then Howell.
Jason Sheets and Josh Cockrum gave
Travis Mullins a run for the money in the
Junior Unlimited class. Mullins got both
holeshots, managing to keep both riders
behind him. Sheets had a good moto-one start
but stalled the thumper and had some difficuity restarting it. David Zeigler and Cockrum
continued banging bars and plastic throughout
moto one. Moto two was hotly contested as
well. Mullins got the holeshot, with Sheets
right on his fender. Tim Winter and Cockrum
went back and forth. The overall win went to
Mullins, followed by Sheets and Cockrum.
Currier was a treat to watch in the 60cc
Intermediate class. He got the holeshot in both
motos and never looked back. Kennewick.
Washington's Trevor Ivey was Currier's only
challenger in moto one, but Ivey, Taylor Monroe, Houston Keane and Cody Bissell were all
in there in moto two. Ivey took a backside soil
sample but finished third overall, behind Currier and Monroe.
Austin "Texas" Rose, Cole Scott, Hunter
Evanson and Cody Evanson all did battle in
the 60cc Open class. Rose got the first-moto
holeshot, chased by Scott and Hunter. Cody
was hanging in there until he crashed on a
huge double. Colton Juarez put his orange
ride out in front of Rose in moto two and battled with Rose, Scott and the Evansons.
Juarez won mota two but had been a DNS
in moto one, leaving Rose in the overall top
spot. Scott and Hunter filled out the other two
podiums.
Michelle Nielsen decided to mix it up with
the men in the Over 30 Beginner class. She
finished out of the top 10 but is gaining experience. so keep looking over your shoulders,
guys. Dan •Dirt" Chapman got to the comer
first and was holding off Mike Boehnke and
Paul Thompson until lap two, when he parked
in the deep sand. Boehnke and Thompson finished one-two. Moto two had Kelly Ensor in
front, with Chapman and Boehnke giving
chase. Chapman stayed close, threatening to
pass, but he eventually faded, and Boehnke,
Thompson and Chapman finished one-twothree overall.
Sunday's Skagit Powersports Holeshot
Award went to "Smokin' Sam" DeAtley in the
Supermini class.

RICHLAND, WA, FEB. 23
Brandon Thomas set a blazing pace for the
hot group of Pro riders that tumed out at Richland ORV Park for round two of Pacific Racing
Organization's Northwest National Series.
Gerald Knifong put his bike into the comer
first in the first 250cc Pro heat, only to have a
hot-riding Sean "Sparky" Sparkman get past
him on a huge overshoot of a backside double. Knifong never saw him coming. Then
Thomas got around Knifong by taking the outside line in a dual-track comer in the deepsand back side. Sparky managed to stay
ahead of Thomes for about three laps, but
Thomas took advantage of his two-stroke's
acceleration to blast past Sparky. Though
Sparky continued to stay with Thomas, tracking his every move, Thomas was too fast and
smooth.
Sparky got the holeshot in moto two, and
it looked like he might hang on, but Thomas
hunted him down and made a clean pass
when Sparky tried to block-pass a big-sand
braking bump. Sparky got up, but not before
Knifong, Tyler Kavaney, Matt Dunn and Royce
DeVol got around him. The overall 250cc
podium steps went to Thomas, Knifong and
Kavaney; Sparky's combined results netted
him fourth overall. DeVol was fifth, and Dunn
was sixth.
The Pro Unlimited class added Jerry Lymburner, on a 125. Thomas was too fast on the
250. Mota one's finishing order was Thomas,
Lymburner and Sparky. Thomas won moto
two, followed by Lymbumer, Motsko and Knifang. The overall order was Thomas. Lymburner and Knifong.
The turnout was huge again, with around
550 riders. There were a bunch of fast riders,
including Loretta Lynn riders Matt and Sam
DeAtley and Landon Currier. Honda, Suzuki
and Kawasaki had factory money available.
Sponsors N-Style, Hansen's Energy Drinks,
Trick Racing Fuels, and EBC Brakes kept riders and fans supplied with great giveaways.
Some of the best racing was in the 125cc
Intermediate class, with 26 riders dicing it up.
Reid Edwards put his bike out in front in both
motos but was pushed by Tony Boughton,
Ryan Dunn, Nick McConnahy, Jayden Mineo,
David Rose Jr. and Billy Boughton. Edwards,
Boughton and Ryan were the top three.
The eocc Intermediate class had some.
great racing. Fans had the opportunity to
watch the DeAtley brothers and Loretta 65cc
