Blix had gonen his bell rung and was a DNS
for the second moto. Nearing took the initial
lead. Lee Evans. who had stalled on the gate in
the first moto, knifed through the pack and
ended up right on Nearing's rear fender as they
went over the Ski Jump double. When the
Intermediates all arrived, they filed it on the
right, except for Crouch - but he landed short
and swapped, and another bell sounded.
Cumbo and Joe Sterns were trading places at
each turn, both of them wanting to catch Evans.
Cumbo would pass Sterns, but Sterns would
come right back past at the next turn. Finally
Cumbo made the third pass stick and then
motored off to catch Evans, while Sterns was
holding off Martin.
Up front, Nearing and Evans would do the
double, and Cumbo would have to catch back
up again. However, Evans had had a poor firstmoto finish, so Cumbo decided to just stay
right where he was - and took the overall
Over 45 Intermediate win. Nearing won the
Expert portion.
After the race, Stems approached Cumbo in
the pits.
"Couldn't you race any closer than that?"
Sterns asked.
"But we never hit," Cumbo replied, "and I
had a blast!"

Dragoon Creek MX Track
A First for Noel
Makes for a Happy Holladay
By DAWN SIlZ
LYNDON, KS, NOV. 7
This race was just like all the others this year,
I though some of the classes are getting
smaller because of the weather. However, the
Pee Wee class was still the same - and one of
the largest classes of the day. KTM rider Cole
Cloughley had the race of his life.
In the first moto, Cloughley rode as hard as
he could. but KTM rider Josh Williams just
would not let Cloughley get around. C/oughley
pushed hard, trying to get around Williams,
knowing all the time that if he made a mistake,
Lem rider Devon Temmen was right behind
him, just waiting to get by. All three boys rode
as hard and fast as they could, but when the
checkered flag dropped, Williams was still
ahead, with Cloughley and then Temmen
behind him.
The second moto started out the same as
the first, but then Williams made that little
anticipated mistake, and C10ughley and Temmen
both made their move. Once Cloughley was
ahead, he was not about to let anyone pass him;
he charged hard, knowing that Temmen and
Williams were right behind him. Never giving
up. Cloughley led the three around the track all
the way to the checkered flag.
The Women's class featured two cousins
battling for the win. Honda rider Noel Holladay
and Honda rider Allie Souza battled it out for
first and second. Holladay charged hard and put
a lead on Souza, but she knew if she made any
80
mistake, Souza might be able to get by. So she
did everything she could do to not let that
happen. When the checkered nag dropped,
Holladay was still ahead of Souza.
In the second mota, Holladay once again put
a lead on Souza - until she Noel crashed on the
front section of the track, taking out a bale of
hay and flipping herself upside down. She
jumped back up, shook it off, and picked up her
bike and got it stan:ed just in time. Souza almost
caught her, but Holladay took off before Souza
could pass her. Holladay still managed to take
first, with Souza in second.

Bunker
On Firel
By JUSTIN WHARTON
WOODLAND, WA, NOV. 7
oodland scrambles veteran Mark Bunker
was unstoppable, winning five out of six
motos in the Before The Hill. 12Scc Expert and
250cc Expert classes. He only lost a mota
because of a fall in the 125cc class.
In the Before The Hill class, Bunker had
some stiff competition from former Mini star J.J.
Niemi, but Bunker hung it out and won both
motos. Niemi (2-2) had to settle for second,
and Joe Pearson (3-4) was third. Zach Fleming
(7-3) had bursts of speed, but his erratic style
got the best of him and he ended up in fourth.
Taking the final top-five position was Richie
"Rich" Ferzacca (4-6).
The 12Scc Expert class saw some awesome
racing. In the first moto, Bunker, Niemi and
Ross Johnson waged an intense battle. Bunker
had the lead, but Johnson and Niemi were
nipping at his heels. Bunker won that moto, but
the second mota saw Bunker and Niemi both
disappear from the lead, handing it to Johnson,
who then had some easy going up front, but
Bunker and Niemi had their work cut out for
them. The twosome sliced their way back
through the pack, putting in some blistering lap
times, but it wasn't enough, as Johnson took an
easy win. Chris Holum took second, and
Bunker took third. Johnson (3-1) took the
overall win, while Bunker (1-3) took second.
third went to Donny Sheats/ey (5-4), fourth to
Niemi (2-9), and Manhew Kelly (4-8) took fifth.
Bunker wasn't about to lose again, so he went
out and smoked the 250cc Expert class. Taking
second was Jeremy Despain (4-3), and Sheatsley
(7-2) took third. Joe Brockaway (6-4) came out
of the woodwork to race again and took fourth,
and fifth went to David Uapitan (5-5).
The Over 30 Expert class was won by
veteran Pro rider Eric Loney, who won both
motos to take the overall win over L1apitan
(2-4). Ryan Anderson (4-3) took third, Doug
Lange (5-2) took fourth, and Tim "TW." Wiles
(3-5) finished fifth.
