Hengeveld and Mike Childr ess, while
Norman and Cody faded to fourth .
"Johnny Campbell wasn't feeling good ,
so he dec ided to sit out today," Hengeveld
explained as to why he was teamed up
with Childress on his American Honda!
Arai/Precision Concepts CRF450. "Man,
[Kend all) Nor man had a huge lead before
he went down. Mikey [Childress) and I
both did out parts and turned in really
good laps times to day. We went from second to third to fourth and back to third.
This was a really exciting race ."
A race strategy dec ision by Keefer
assure d the KTM team se cond place
when he told Lanza not to pit co ming into
the last lap.
"I'm a motocrosse r and we just don't
pit," Keefe r said. "Everyone was totally
stressing on me for that de cision, but it
paid off."
The Myers!Walters team rode away
with the bulk of the $3000 purse and was
also awarded a $500 bonus by GPR
Stabilizers for Winning while running a GPR
on its Honda. The Lanza and Keefer KTM
team held on to second , followed by
Hengeveld and Childress in third.
"This is such a cool event," Walters said
at the finish line. "The support from the city
of Ridgecrest is amazing. [Scott) Myers
talked me into coming out and I had a blast."
Myers seconded Walters' summatio n of
the event.
"Th is is the best round of the Big 6,"
Meyers said. "The Viewfinders do a great
job of groom ing and watering between
races. I didn't like that mud pit, so I was
glad to see the alterna te ."
