THO AMA 12Scc Eastern Region Supercross Series Hansen knows that the final two rounds are critical for earning his first title and establishing himself as the 125cc East champ. "We're now tied for first, and I got to make up for it," Hansen explained. "I'm happy to be here and got to thank everybody on the team for all their help." With two prior miserable weekends that he would rather forget - St. Louis and Daytona - Monster Energy/Pro Circuit's Matt Walker rekindled his fire as he came from 14th on the start to finish fourth. Coming into the series as one of the favorites, Walker is now eighth in the points and really needs to score big in the final two rounds. "I made a mistake early and then started picking guys off," the fast and friendly Georgian said. "It's been a rough couple of weeks, and people forget about the behind the scenes stuff like the stitches in my hand and the blood infection." When asked what he needs to do before the series ends, Walker answered, "I need to at least win one, 24 but getting on the podium before it is over is real important." eN CITRUS BOWL ORLANDO, FLORIDA RESULTS: MARCH 19, 2005 (ROUND 5 OF 8) HEAT I (6 laps, 1·9 transfer): I.
