by passing Jered on the popper. Two jumps
later, though, Nick crashed, and Jered got
back around him. Jered held off the rest of the
pack to take the checkered nag. Nick finished
up in second, and Jordan Sitz was third
among the Schoolboys. Stewart finished first
among the Collegeboys.
It was a day with lots of great races and no
mishaps - not bad for a Sunday afternoon out
on the prairie.

Hollister Hills GP Track
Iwanaga. Holland
Hot at Hollister
By RANDY HElM
HOLLISTER, CA. MAY 18
As summer finally hit. the Mutant Motorsports
Summer Warm~Up event couldn't have had a
more appropriate appellation. More than 300
riders showed up to bang bars one more time
before going into the upcoming Summer
Series. Damon Iwanaga. Rusty Holland and
Jeff Pestana were just a few of the riders who
were ready for the heat; each of them won at
least one of their respective classes.
Iwanaga was on the gas this weekend, tak~
ing a win in the 60cc Novice class and placing
second in the 60cc (9-1 I) contest. In the
Novice class, Iwanaga was on his game,
pulling two holeshols over his competition.
The Kawasaki pilot from Gilroy went on to win
both motos as well, making it a clean sweep
in the Novice division. Runner-up honors went
to local Hollister resident Matthew Sanchez,
who went 2-2 on his KTM. Anthony Rodriguez
rounded out the top three; the Salinas speedster was also riding a KTM.
Iwanaga had his hands full in the 60cc
(9-11) class with Tyler Bereman, who has
been almost unstoppable lately. Bereman won
both motos. Iwanaga was runner-up in each
outing, finishing 2~2 for second overall. Once
again, Rodriguez rounded out the top three,
with a consistent 4~3 finish.
Jeff Pestana came out to race and took
home a win in the 125cc Pro class. The Honda
pilot split moto wins with Adam Miller. Moto
one was all about Miller, from start to finish.
The Yamaha jockey grabbed the holeshot and
set the pace. Pestana played the tailgater, but
he was unable to make a move on the rider
from Prunedale. Pestana finished second. with
Matt McCrummen taking third.
When the gate dropped for the second
moto, Pestana led the way. Miller gated midpack and had to work his way to the front. The
seasoned Pestana held his own up front and
took the win. Before it was over, Miller had
worked his way up to the second spot.
McCrummen again finished third, which netted
the Suzuki rider third for the day.
Holland showed up to win, and that's pretty much what he did each time the Honda
rider was on the track. Holland won both
motos in the 250cc Pro class, as well as the
featured four-lap Dash For Cash. Holland got
the holeshot in both Pro motos and put together perfect laps to win in each outing. Billy
Jurevich was the closest to Holland, finishing
second in both motos for second overall. The
Suzuki rider has been picking up the pace as
of late, and he's a threat to win each time he's
on the track. Third for the day went to Matt
McCrummen, who went 5-3 on his RM250.
Hollister Hills GP Track: Damon Iwanaga was all business in the 60cc Novice class,
sweeping both motos for the overall at the Mutant Motorsports Summer Warm-Up event
in Hollister, California.
