Despite his back-of-the-pack
start, Roberts wasn't worried. "I
kind of knew the race was going

making some moves and charging.
I think I got into the lead about half-
way through the first lap and tried to
put in a good lap and a half and get
a gap quick so I could back it down
for the rest of the race."
That turned out to be an excel-
lent strategy because the Kenda/
Rekluse/Klim 480 RR-mounted
Roberts completed four laps 20
seconds shy of two and a half
hours—the time at which the check-
ered flag would've been thrown.
Thus, he and the rest of the fastest
riders had to go out for a fifth lap,
Shane Logan (NT143)
made quite the splash
in his AMA WHS debut.
After nailing the holeshot
over defending Pro 250
champ Clayton Gerstner,
he ran as high as second
overall before settling
for fourth overall and
the Pro 250 win.

the win in Pro Women—an hour and a half effort—over defending champ
Sharon Mowell. She then lined up in Pro 250 but later retired early.
