By RANDY HElM Pax Trax MX Park: Matt Theus (22) pulls the holeshot in the first OScc Open moto, ahead of Cody Johnson (214), Drew Dunne (15) and the rest of the pack, at round two of the Moon and Stars Series in Bunnell, Florida.

Kim· ball was a hard-fought third, Green was fourth, and McCabe came in fifth. Raubs pulled the holeshot in the 16-24 A contest and was just lOVing it. Gibson was in the second spot and again showing good speed. Green was third, with McCabe all over him. Raubs was cruising around the course, haVing fun. His timing and confidence showed all the way to the checkers. Gibson. coming into his own, held down second. McCabe got by Green for third, and Andy Salm placed fifth. "First-lap mayhem" best describes the 85cc Senior main. Kurt Manderscheid came out holding that coveted first position, fol· lowed by Chaz Braden and Kyle Williams. Eventually, Williams got by Braden for sec· and. Manderscheid, showing good form and on the gas, maintained the lead and took the win at the checkers, but Williams, in second, was closing in. Braden finished third, with Tyler Freese in fourth and Trevor Archibald in fifth. In the main event for the true masters of the track, the Over 40 A riders, Eastern Iowa motocross legend Rick Munson got the holeshot. followed by Dennis Vittetoe. These two war-torn veterans are a product of the '70s motocross era and are still kicking butt in the new millennium! Smooth and calculated, Munson carved up the Hawkeye Downs track. All the while, Vittetoe shadowed him, comer to comer, jump to jump. At the finish. Munson was first and Vittetoe second, with Jeff Houtz holding down the third spot and Frank Boyer in fourth.

Moisture content in the dirt was ideal, and the track was prepped to perfection. Anyone who has ever attended or raced the Hawkeye Downs events knows just how spoiled the racers and specta· tors are. It is always a good show, and one of the main showmen of this night was the awe· some one himself, "Awesome Austin" Raubsl He posted wins in both the 125cc A and 16·24 A classes. In the 125cc A main event. Todd Walton absconded with the holeshot, with Raubs on his tail. Kurt McCabe slid out in the first turn. Walton was riding like a man possessed, but Raubs was matching his every move, giving him no breathing room. Derek Gibson was running third, with Kerry Green fourth and Nathan Kimball fifth. Just before the completion of lap one, Walton gave in to Raubs' pressure and went down hard.

Another. great turnout of more than 300 riders came to duke it out at round four. Who wiil be the 2003 Mutant Motorsports/l Moto Friday Night Series cham· pions? That question got one race closer to being answered. With five rounds to go. the points battles are beginning to shape up.

PELLETT Club Moto: Cory McDaniel was "on" at round four of the Mutant Motorsportsl I Moto Friday Night Series in Livermore, California. McDaniel went undefeated in both the 12Scc and 2S0cc Pro classes. WELl..STON, OH, JULY 18 It's pretty cool when you win one motocross race; it's even better when you win a couple but on a wonderful summer evening in Well· ston, Ohio, site of round number eight of the Ohio County Fairs Motocross Championship Series, Gabriel Muntz won three classes outright. Muntz, mounted on Hondas, is always very competitive, but this young motocrosser had not previously won three classes in one night. It was just one of those times when Muntz was "in the zone": He slashed his way around the jump-infested county fair track, winning the 85cc Extra class and the 85cc (12·15) division, as weB as the very competi· tive 125cc Schoolboy class.
