LAGRANGE, CA, JAN. 10-11
oW that 2004 is upon us, a new racing season begins again. At laGrange, there we re
more than a fe w ne w machines that were
touching dirt for the first time . What better way
to break in a new scooter than at the races?
At the first two rounds of the Winte r Series,
t he weather cooperated for the first time in
Northern Ca liforn ia in quite some time . The
ove rcast skies kept the sun hidden, but th e
track stayed moist all weekend , making fo r
pe rfect racing condit ions. Jeff Alessi and Casey
Hinson batt led throughout the weeke nd in the
Intermediate classes and the Schoo lboy division.
The two up-and-comers may be a pre view of
wha t the future holds in sto re : Both riders have
factory backing. and one cou ld expect to see
them in the big show (supe rcross and nationals)
in the not -too·distant future .
Just returning to racing after re coveri ng
from major injuries, Alessi seemed to be finding
his speed again. When he is fully healthy. the
young Honda rider is a for ce to be rec koned

runner-up in the 12Scc Intermed iate class. On
Sunday, Alessi started out str ong in the 2SDcc
Intermediate class but ended up go ing do wn
and taking himself out of the mota. Alessi was
visibly so re from the crash, and it had an effect
on his day 's results: Alessi finished second in the
12Scc Intermed iate and Schoolboy classes and
didn't contest his second 2S0cc mota,
Hinson, who represents Suzuki, was also on
the gas throughout the wee kend , and he did his
share of w inn ing in the Inter med iate and
School boy classes , O n Saturday, Hinson won
th e 125cc Int~rmediate class and also finished
ru nner-up in the 250cc Intermed iate and
Schoolboy classes. Sunday was Hinson's day, as
he swept all of his classes , including the 12s cc
and 2SOcc Intermediate classes. Hinso n also put
the RM atop the podium again in the Schoolboy
class.
