Northwest Vintage & Evolution Motocross SEries Round 2: Woodland Motocross Park Anderson Annihilates 'em! By CLAY LIGHT WOODLAND, WA, OCT. 22 B ack in the late 1970s and early '80s, Jim Anderson was one of the most feared motocross competitors on the AMA National Motocross Series. He was surely among the Northwest's elite at that time, and at one point he carried the National number-I 9 plate. Some 25 years later, he's back to his winning ways, this time dUring Vintage and Evolution racing at Woodland Motocross Park in southwestern Washington, site of round two of the Northwest Vintage & Evolution Motocross Series: Anderson, riding a Yamaha YZ465, soared to the overall Over 40 and 250cc Evolution Expert-class wins, both via I-I placings. Anderson had tough competition from several Marte 5ullivan s_red ta the overall Open and Over 40 Expert Vintage wins. top Northwest riders - mainly his fellow Washingtonians Monty Price and Leon Capps but in the end it was all Anderson. Capps got the best of Anderson and the rest of the field at the start of the first 250cc moto, but it didn't take Anderson long to won< his way past Capps and post the victory. Moto two was much the same: Anderson found his way into the lead shortly after the unleashing and capped off a I-I sweep, ahead of Capps (2-2), Maico-mounted Randy Brown (3-3), Lyndel Raphael (5-4) and Dan Cunha (4-5). Another former National star, Maico rider Rick Poulin, was among the front-runners in two Evo classes, the Over 50 and Open Expert, but it was another Maico rider, Doug Hasfos, who carted off a pair of overall wins in those classes. Hasfos and visiting Californian Rick Doughty split moto wins in the competitive Over 50 class, while Poulin, who spent much of both motos battling with both riders, ended up third via 3-3 placlngs. Hasfos' Open Expertclass win came ahead of Suzuki rider Jay Lael and Mako jockey Marvin Newton. Poulin also gave Randy 5kiver fits in the Over 50 Vintage Expert class, but the end results favored Skiver, as has been the case for the past several seasons at Woodland. Skiver, riding a BSA, first snared an overall win in the class to lead Poulin (2-2), Russ Hoehn (4-3) and fonner Can-Arn factory rider Buck Murphy, whose 3-4 finishes netted him fourth overall, despite not having competed in some time. Murphy, riding a 1974 Yamaha YZ, finished ahead of Montesamounted Charlie Brown (5-5).

Many hours of work yielded the best track conditions for the Pros. The Four-Stroke Nationals and the Georgia Championship Series were combined for a full day of racing, and it is a wonder what 400-plus motorcycles can do to a racetrack! The first 250cc Pro-Am moto is ready to go, so let's get a seat for the next 20 minutes plus two laps! The gate fell at I I a.m., and it was the Zach Osborne show in the first 250cc Pro-Am moto. KTM sent one fast mot.orcycle, and Osborne motored away from everyone in the class in the opening moto. Chad Ward was behind Osbome at the start but faded quickly. Chase 52 Borders, Broc Tickle and Chris McCorkel were in the hunt. Tickle, on his Serious Racewear Honda, was running lap times close to those of the leader, but he was unable to close the gap. Chad Charbonneau followed for the third spot on his Honda. Honda of Houston sent Jase Lewis to Bremen, and he managed to finish fourth in the first moto, ahead of Benjamin Hamilton's Honda. At I p.m., the Pro-Am 450s took to the track, and it was Lewis winning the first moto with some smooth riding on the familiar track. Tickle took second spot after chasing Lewis. Honda rider Jacob Saylor took third place with a steady ride. Suzuki jockey Clint Shealy rallied at the end to garner fourth place, over Levi Kilbarger's Honda.
