"This race was a big turning point for me this season," said Hoenshell, 41, who also won the Pit Bike race on Saturday evening. "I've got a nice lead in the standings now. and I just need to stay focused and ride well." In Semi-Pro action, Oliver Benetis collected his second consecutive and third win overall for the series aboard his Suzuki. Brian Barnes also scored his third win for the year in five tries. riding a Suzuki in the 125cc Expert class. and John Cicur found his way to the winners' circle for the first time this year, riding a Yamaha in the 250cc Expert class.

APR. 27 The Pee Wee track was packed, as usual, for another day of great racing on a slightly smaller scale. The action on the Pee Wee track is in no way a direct reflection of its name. Pee Wee riders are just as serious as the big boys and girls. and it's a kick to watch their parents - who are sometimes more serious than the riders - as they chase their son or daughter around the track, cheering them on and encouraging them to "pin it!" Those were the words of the father of Pee Wee 50cc (4-6) class dominator Amber West. She gets the holeshot and doesn't look back. She rails the track and attacks every obstacle as if she were coming through the pack while her dad proudly cheers on his little girl. Carlos Rios III gave chase to the flailing ponytail in front of him during both motos for second overall. Samuel Dabney recovered from a disappointing moto·one finish of sixth to place third in moto two for third overall, behind Rios. Derek Hayward (5-4) finished fourth overall. while Joshua Hubner (4-7) held on for fifth overall. After placing fifth in mota one of the 60cc Starter" A" class. Dennyn Mattson 9rabbed the overall with a win in moto two. Moto-one winner Sammy Macaluso finished with a 1· 11 score for seventh overall. Christopher Miller finished in the runner· up spot with a 3-3 score, while third place went to Corey Purczynski (2-9). Phillip Hauser got a better start in mota two and held on for a 10-2 score and fourth overall. Hauser's better second·moto score garnered fourth. ahead of Kyle Smith (7-5). who finished fifth overall. Lem rider Brad Solomon swept the Stock Starter (7-8) class. bolting ahead of the pack to the checkered nag. Tyler Uber followed suit with a pair of deuces for second overall, and Brock King (3-4) traded finishes with Nicholas Paplia (4-3). who grabbed third overall. King finished fourth overall. ahead of Derek Hayward (5-5). Bryan Burch, Teren Salinas and Brandon Outcault did battle In the Super Pee Wee division. All three riders played cat·and-mouse around one of the best Pee Wee tracks in Southern California. Burch claimed the sweep, as Outcauit did his best to track down Salinas. who proved to be able to cover his tracks and make it to the checkered flag second in both motos. Burch claimed the moto-one win in the Modified Novice (7 -8) class. outrunning Chanz Early and Drew DiGiovanni. Early claimed the overall with a 2·1 score, and Burch still man· aged second overall with his 1-3 score, over DiGiovanni's 3·2 finishes. Caleb Fairclough handed the XR50 Advanced win to the second-place finisher in moto one, Brandon Kooiman, after Fairclough finished with a 1-3 finish. Kooiman took the mota-two win, and Zachary Forsyth moved into the number-three spot with a 4·2 score, over Phillip Hauser (3-4) and D.J. Hart. who was fifth overall.

IN, MAY 4 Matt "Captain America" Peters was nearly perfect at the Pleasure Riders hillclimb on May 4. taking two wins and a second and also claiming the Fast Time Award. Peters' first win came in the hotly contested 250cc class, in which Mark Schroeder had turned the fast time the night before. Jared McKay set the best time in the first round, a 4.328-second run on his YZ250. with Schroeder running second with a 4.431-second time, Peters, with a 4.500-second run on his first ride, found himself way down in sixth place at the break. However, in the second half. Peters attacked the hill with his CR250 and flew over in 4.251 seconds to take the class win. Schroeder also improved his time, flying his stock-length YZ250 over in 4.280 seconds to claim second, moving McKay to third. John Goeken and Billy Hanes took the fourth- and fifth-place spots. Peters' second win came in the 450cc class. where he nailed an outstanding 4.194second time on his KTM 380 on his first ride and then watched as no one else in that class - or any class - could top it the rest of the day, giving him the Fast Time Award to go with his two class wins. Jason Northrup, riding his stock-length KTM 380. took second place. followed by Marcus Brown and Paul Hillard. Peters' bid for a perfect day came up just one place short, as he had to settle for second place in the 600cc Four-Stroke class. Butch Fetters, the reigning National Champion in the class. posted a good 4.574-second time on his KTM 520 to take the win. with Peters claiming second with a 4.680-second time on his Yamaha YZ400F thumper. Scott Petty. the District 15 hilielimb referee. had a double-win day also. his first being in the 750cc class, where he topped the hill on his beautiful Yamaha 750cc twin in 5.029 seconds. Josh Brown, also riding a Yamaha twin, took second place. with Hillard and his Kawasaki triple claiming third. Petty's second win came in the Seoior (Over 40) class. where he topped the J50-foot hill in 4.422 seconds on his CR500 to snatch the win from Kevin McKay. who took a 4.462second time into intermission on his KX500.
