By CLAY LIGHT WOODLAND, WA, APR. 3 Y amaha-mounted Oregonian Joe Brockway blazed his way to the top of the ranks in two Evolution classes at the penultimate round of the Northwest Vintage & Evolution Motocross Series, held at Woodland Motocross Park. Despite tough competition, Brockway forged to the head of the fields in the Open and Under 40 Expert classes and won three of his (our motos to join an elite circle of double- class winners. Several class titles were decided on this day. while others will go down to the wire at the series' finale. Veteran Vintage racers Glenn Rose and Steve Jurchin didn't have the best of days while competing in the 12Scc Evolution Intermediate class, placing fourth and fifth overall, but the two did stay close in their points battlel and are only two points apart and headed for a decisive battle in a few weeks. Todd Knopper and Coli Donaghue placed first and second overall, respectively, followed by Charlie Martin. CZ rider Chris Clark was also a doubleclass winner and posted the Open and Over 30 Expert-class wins during the Vintage portion of the program, which drew riders from three states and Canada. Those riders were blessed with superb track conditions; those that stayed home in fear of muddy conditions realty missed out, as it couldn't have been much better than this. Clark found the track to his liking and finished at the head of the classes in all but one moto. He and Honda-mounted Andrew Sullivan (riding in separate classes) bumped in the second combined Over 3D/Four-Stroke Expert moto, and Clark got the worse of it, although both riders scored overnJl wins. Clark was also the top performer in the combined Open Intermediate/Expert contest, beating Husqvarna rider Dirk Murphy in both motos to snare his second of two overall wins. Husqvarna-mounted Bill Grubin rounded out the top three finishers in the Expert class, while the battle for the Intermediate-class wins wasn't settled as easily. Bultaco jockey Travis Anderberg and CZ pilot Brett Giboney clashed during both motos, but the score was settled in Anderberg's favor after he beat Giboney to the finish in mota two. The 250cc Evolution ranks have been large in rider numbers throughout the season, and this day was more of the same. Yamahamounted Jay Nelson had a good day after snagging dual mota wins in the Amateur class. John Telford, a consistent front-runner throughout the series, which started off at Ward Creek, Washington, again played the consistency card and, by virtue of ~-2 finishes, clinched the class tide. Matt Sullivan topped the Intermediate class with 1-3 finishes, his best performance coming in the first mota, in which he beat Husqvarna rider Rick Ferris. Maicomounted John Daniels won the second mota, but inconsistency on his part (a Sixth-place finish) dropped him to third overall, behind Sullivan and Ferris.
