Noschese nabs Bridgehampton
Motocross win
By Jim and Carolyn Simpson
BRIDGEHAMPTON, NY, ocr. 3
Michael Noschese used a come-from-behind
second-moto win to nab the overali win in
the 500cc Amateur class at Bridgehampton
Motorsports Park.
Moto one started with Noschese grabbing
the lead from the start, with Jeff Mitchell and
Thomas Lequerque chasing the leader
through lap one. Mitchell stayed with
Noschese as the pair pulled away from the
pack. Noschese shot over the edge of a berm
and gave the lead to Mitchell as they apporached the last lap. As Lequerique crossed the
white flag he crashed and Noschese regained
second. Mitchell scored the moto win.
Bob Walton took the early lead in moto
two and Paul Wetheimer and Noschese played
follow the leader out of the woods. Wertheimer made his move in the back section and
took the lead before the end of lap one.
Noschese then took over second place,
dropping Walton to third. On the final lap,
Wertheimer held the lead over Noschese, and
Walton reclaimed third. Wertheimer's Kawasaki swapped sideways, and he went down,
handing the lead and the overall win to
Noschese. MitcheJl took second for the moto
and Wertheimer remounted to finish third.
Mike Michaels grabbed a handful and led
the I25cc Expert class at the beginning of moto
,one, and Jerry Seip and Jason Rivas followed
him through the woods. Rivas made a run
and passed Seip, then started after Michaels.
Rivas cranked it up and made the pass, only
to wash out in a turn and hand the lead back
to Michaels. Before Rivas could regroup, Seip
passed him for second. Michaels won the moto
with Seip in second.
Rivas claimed the lead on the beginning
of moto twb, and Michaels and Seip followed
him through lap one. Seip pressured Rivas,
forcing him wide in a tum and sneaking inside
to ~b the lead. Seip went on to the win,
while Rivas cruised tQ second. Seip was
awarded the overalJ win with a 2-1 score.

Matalamaki mobs Moto West MX
By J.R. Canaguier
HOlliSTER, GA, ocr. 4
John Matalmaki won the Vet Novice pass at
the Hollister OHV Area Motocross.
As a warmup for the upcoming GFI Fall
Series, the race format was changed to include
35-minute motos, a change which took its toll
on some of the over ISO riders. Time would
only permit the running of one moto for each
class, so the racing was exciting.
The Vet Novice class provided some of the
best racing of the day, as 19 riders used
different strategies to see who could outlast
the others. For Matalamaki, it was smoothness
and no mistakes that earned him the win. After
a see-saw battle with Steve Schwenk, Matalamaki put his YZ in front for good on lap
10 and cruised in for the win. Sehwenk held
on for second, while Greg Hesante finished
third.
The 80cc class combined the beginners,
novice and intermediates, with Intermediate
class rider Justin Quinn easily scoring the
overall. Jess Medley Qutran Ulysses Pollard
and Tyler Evans to win the Novice division,
while Richard Rodriquez won the Beginner
class.
