simply doesn't happen often because the 2S0cc
A riders aren't suppose to be that good.
Travis Green, the 250cc A winner. was an
exception to that rule, putting his factory
Kawasaki into steaJth mode at the third round
of the Mid-South Cross Country Motorsports
Championship. In elapsed time, he drilled every
Mid-South points rider in the AA class.
Green was on the go at the Pirelli/American
Patriots Getaway/Moose/Maxxis-supported
event. Although he got a bad start, he charged
for the 2S0cc A lead, got it, and then
proceeded to go after the AA class. In the end,
he was 10 seconds shy of the overall win,
finishing second overall, behind the
Throttlehead.com/Kawasaki/FMF/Moose/Kenda
-supported josh McLevy, who took the win.
It was an interesting race, as riders met for
another dust run. This time, New Hope,
Alabama, was the hot spot, and the M class
enjoyed having two Kawasaki factory-supported
riders, Cole Calkins and McLevy, on hand.
Ofr the start, Calkins got the holeshot, with
McLevy, Dustin Gibson, Robert Panerson, P.A.
Allen and Mike Sampson following. McLevy
took over and left them in the dust. He finished
the first lap 30 seconds ahead of everyone.
On the third and fourth laps, Green moved
into the lead on elapsed time, with McLevy and
Gibson charging just ahead of him. When McLevy
stopped for gas, Gibson got around him, and they
were on it! Gibson was hauling, but McLevy
wasn't going to give up the fight.
"My hat's off to Dustin Gibson," McLevy
said. "I've got to hand it to him; he fought hard."
' 'od
Unfortunately for the Sarge's
Cycie/KTM-backed Gibson, he
stopped for fuel on the last lap,
and McLevy got around him.
What was worse, Green got him,
too, and all the while he didn't
even know it.
Green nudged his way into
second place overall with the help
from Enduro Engineering, Duvall
Engineering, Maxima and Scott.

went after the overall leaders."
Overcoming injury, Allen
enjoyed fourth place overall.
Unable to walk, he loosened up
and made an aggressive move,
charging through the brush and
finishing the race in third place for
the AA class. while Sampson
finished in fourth.
