Clawson Moto rspo rts/CMA Bounty Hun ter MX Se ries Round 8: Madera Speedway Weigand Outruns t he Big Guns By EDDIE GRAVELINE MADERA, CA, OCT. 9 t had bee n a long run for t he rider s in the 2004 Bou nty Hunte r Seri es, and they were loo king fo r some closure as the final weekend go t un de r way in Made ra , Ca liforn ia. Roun d eight was he ld o n Saturd ay night , and eve n though the finals were to be he ld the ve ry next day, this wou ld be the last race of the series for the Pros. Just fo r th is occasion, a brand- new track was built on the infield of Madera Spee dway, an asphalt car-racing ova l. The track was tight and technical, and it fea tured one of the scariest whoop sections of the year. While that may have had the Amateur racers a little wo rried , everyone was looking fo rward to watching I S4 the Pros batt le o n the grueling circ uit . Fittingfy, the Pro classes we re the deep e st they'd been all season, featuring many facto ry stars and several nat ionaJ-caliber riders . The first action came in the 12Scc Pro class, where Mike Alessi struggled to get good starts aboard one of the few two-strokes in the field. The pack up front in the first moto consisted of Steve Mert ens, Billy Laninovich, Justin Bucke lew and Alessi, w ho was ab le to make some key passes on t he fir s t fe w lap s and take t he checkered flag. The second race was a differe nt story, as Amsoil/Factory Connection Hon da's Lanino vich fo un d his st ride and rode a great moto. Still, Alessi's 1-2 punch was goo d for the class win , followed by Laninovich and Bucke lew. DECEMBER 1, 2004 • CYCLE NEWS Taking a dva nta ge of a good starting position at round e ight of the CMA Bounty Hunter Series, Tim Weigand bui lt a huge lead in th e mai n eve nt befo re a nyo ne started to cha llenge him . When they finally did, it was too late. Buckelew caught a lot of peo ple off guar d in the first 250cc Pro mot a . Fo r one thing, he was ru nning an un famil iar numb e r (3 14) . T hat 's because he was riding a bike bo rro wed fro m his brot he r-in-law. T hat di dn ' t see m to matte r, though. as ''J-Buc'' held off Alessi, Rusty Ho lland a nd t he rest o f a ve ry fast grou p . Holland reu nite d with the speed th at t urned a lo t o f hea ds du ring last summer's outdoor Nat io nals and blew everyo ne awa y in the second mo to . Once again, Alessi w as seco nd , fo llowed th is t ime by Buc kel ew. Holl and too k th e overall victory, over Alessi, by tie brea ker. As always, the main even t featu red a singlefile, inverted st art . Ale ss i was last a nd ha d H oll a nd r ig ht in fr o n t o f him . T he you ng prospe ct ma de a q uick pass o n the ve te ra n bef o re t he two cut t hro ugh t he field like a fre ig ht t r ain . St ar t ing from a much better positio n, though, T im We igand got into the lead a few laps in and create d a gap while the o the rs were mired in the pack. It too k Alessi a whi le to ge t past riders such as Laninovich, Bucke lew and Jeff W illoh; he eventually did. but Weigand had a lead of several sec o nds w it h just a few laps remain ing. Alessi made a valiant charge that ca me up just sh o rt , clo sing to a bou t a bike le ngth w he n We igand too k the checke re d flag. Fo r We igand , it was an impressive win and, mo re importantly, a substantial payday for o ne of the spo rt 's true privateers. Willoh, Buckelew and Holland co mpleted the top five.
