the 125cc Intermediate, 250cc Intermediate
and Schoolboy-class overall wins with a sixmoto sweep, things didn't go as well for the top
two riders In the Pro classes, Washingtonians
Ryan Abrigo and T""Y johnson. Abrigo won the
and Pete Sannan, and Johnson and Abrigo.
Wilson's 8-2 placings earned him third overall,
ahead of johnson (2-9) and Abrigo (1-10).
Boughten won the 2S0cc Pro class with
opening 12Scc Pro O1Oto, but a nasty tumble
while leading the font Open Pro o1oto left him
bruised and his Honda CR250F's exhaust badly
mangled. While Abrigo did get the Honda in
running order for mOlO two, the rider from
Snohomish was in extreme pain and couldn't
muster better than a 10th-place finish in the
muddy conditions of O1Oto two.
Tony Boughten, who finished third to
Abrigo and johnson in the dry conditions of
moto one, pushed johnson for several laps in
moto two before taking the lead from the
Honda rider. johnson fell in the mud-filled
whoops and took a considerable amount of
time to get rolling again and finished ninth in
" " _"Y, takire advantage of misfortUle on the
part of moto winners Johnson and Abrigo.
Boughten's 2-'1 finishes earned him his second win
of the day, followed by Metzler (4-3), Nick Foister
(6-2), Miles Warren (5-5) and Cnuer (7-7).
Lamay adapted well in the adverse
conditions, posting his first win in the opening
moto of the Schoolboy class. Lamay easily won
both O1Ot05, placing lots of distance on the rest
of the field, despite the downpour that
occurred at halftime.
Washington's Wren Fuller was also a stellar
performer in the muddy conditions. Fuller, who
competed in the 125cc and 250cc junior
classes, finished well ahead of the rest of the
CMe Pac West Motocross Nationals
Round 6; Washougal Motocross Park
\ A Jashingtonians Ryan Abrigo and Dan Moore
V Y continued their winning ways at round six
of the CMC Pac West Nationals, held at Washou-
gal Motocross Park. Heavy rain the day prior to
the event and showers the night before race day
yielded to sunny skies and made for superb track
conditions shortly into the first set of motos. Boch
Abrigo and Moore found the tacky conditions to
their liking: Abrigo won the 125cc, 250cc and
Open Pro classes, while Moore won the Over 2S
and Over 30 Pro classes.
Abrigo was injured the previous day but
rebounded well [0 score moto wins in all six
motos he contested. He shook off the effects
of that over-the-bars excursion to lead Tracy
Johnson in the 125c( and 250c( classes, and
Spokane's Nick McConahy in the Open Pro
class. While Abrigo didn't quite get the starts
he'd hoped for all day long, the motos did end
the way the 21-year-old rider from Snohomish
had wanted. resulting in his domination and his
bagging nearly $1000 from the Pro purse.
Veteran rider Moore had things going his
way in his Over 25 and Over 30 Pro classes.
Moore also placed third in the 125cc Pro class,
behind Abrigo and Johnson, making it an
impressrve day for the eastern Washington rider
who has spent much of his career aboard
54
Moore placed second overall.
Moore won both Over 30 Pro
mOIOS.
