The victories were hardfo ught : the distance between the two was never more than 10 feet! Picking up a pair of thirds (behind Segundo's pair of secon ds) was Mike O'Brien, on yet another Honda. At evening's end , a very tired Gibb walked away with three huge tr o phie s afte r six wins out of six rides! Meanwhile . Oakley Spo rts ' Du ke w e nt unchalle nged in any of his four motos. In the I25cc junior class, Duke nabbed both holeshots and ran away with the victory over Santiago Betancurth in mota one and Drew Doran in the second stanza. In the Schoo lboy class , Duk e shared the moto with the Before The Hill class and a lone Over 25 Master rider. In moto o ne, BTH rider Taylor Barry got the holeshot but surrendered the lead before the second co rner to Duke, who held it to the checkers . In moto two , Duke got the holeshot and began lengthening his lead at every opportunity. For young Duke , it was four for four - and that is perfection. RESULTS P/W 50 (4- 6) : I.

SuperS a turday MX Se rie s Round 3: Club Mo to Gibb Guns to Six at Gravity Gulchl By MIKE VANCil LIVERMORE, CA, JULY 24 H onda rider Matt Gibb made his presen ce felt at the third rou nd or the SuperSatu rday Motocross Series, put on by Motowest Racing and sponsored by Dublin Toyota. The veter an racer competes in the Over 30 age bracket with an Intermediate ranking, and he was per fect in his six motos dur ing the evening. The highly respected Club Moto layout is a tech nical course and co uld be described as a supercross track on a hillside. There are very steep climbs and drop -offs. and the ground isn't always w here a riders ' foot can prevent a topple - hence the nickname "Gravity Gulch." In Gibb's first outing, he shared the gat e wi th two competitors in the 125cc Intermediate class and six riders in the 125cc junior class. A second wave started after Gibb's wave, consisting of five 12Scc Beginners. First o ff t he line in the first wave wa s hot Jun io r Bryan Duke (not quite 17). Try as he might , 64 Gibb cou ldn't put a wheel around this young racer. After four hard laps, it was apparent that it was a far safer plan to w in his class than to risk a crash and eliminate two fine riders in different classes. In mote two , the resu lts were exactly the same. Gibb too k first again. and he was followed home both time s by Yamaha ride r Nathan Vandermade and Natha n's brother, Kawas aki jockey Nicholas Vandermade . Meanwhile, Duke was the firstJunior bot h times. For his 250cc Intermediate cont est , Gibb shared the gate wi t h the 250cc ju nio r s: a second wave started moments later for the 250cc Beginners. Both outings saw Gibb garner holeshots and runaway wins . Th e first junior was Yamaharider Shaun Schofield, who finished closest to Gibb (t he r e were no other Intermed iates entered). Gibb 's final appearance was in t he hot ly contested Over 30 Inte rmed iate class. Th is would prove to be Gibb's stiffest challenge . He garnered the holes hot in bo th me tes. but he SEPTEMBER 1, 2004 • CYCLE NEWS w Jesse Zambon won the 125cc A, 2S0cc A, Open and Sportsmen A classes a t round 10 of the Northern Cup Moto cross Se rie s at Pine Ridge Raceway in Athelstane, Wisconsin.

With the season a bit past the halfway point, t he batt les for the championship points are beginning to heat up. David Rock jumped out to the lead in the opening I25cc A moto but was quickly passed by Kawasaki-mou nted Andy Zambon , who then led t he pack of 14 ri ders int o the rhyt hm 40th An niversary section and was soon off to a nice lead on the fast and san d y terra in. Zambon was soon followed by his brother jesse, as well as jeremy Hackbarth . Jesse Zam bon quickly crept up on his little bro. Then Andy, who's been having some knee prob lems, felt some thing go in the whoop sect ion and moved to the side, allOWing jesse to take the point. Andy retired from the race to see k med ical attention. jesse took the lead , with Hackbarth in tow and Carl Schubitzke in third .
