It truly is an international event. This year's entrants included two women from Germany, three from Italy, two from New Zealand, two from Canada, one from Sweden, one from Belgium and 14 from 10 different states. Not only was there an international field in the Pro class, the event also drew a huge Amateur turnout. This year, the total Women's entries were 268 riders, with several of the Amateurs coming from other countries as well. Two notable Amateurs were 14-year-old jaquelin Strong, who performed well in all her classes and finished in the top lOin all the boys' classes she entered, and Ireland's Natalie Kane, who won the Women's Supermini class in such a fashion that her viaory was protested; that protest revealed that she was, in fact, riding a stock BScc machine. She is one fast young lady who will be a star in the sport in a few years. The real show of the weekend was the Women's Pro class. It could be argued that with four of the top 10 riders in the world out with injuries, the racing would suffer. That was not the case. 86 eN GLEN HELEN RACEWAY PARK SAN BERNARDINO, CAUfORNIA RESULTS: NOVEMBER 13, 200S (ROUND 4) P/W HON (0·6), I. Ryan Newby (Hon). P/W IR 55 BEG, I. Anthony Wayne (KTM).
