Ramsey rips at Pro Sport MX By Barbara and Loren Williams WYTHEVILLE, VA, ocr. 11 Mark IV-backed Nathan Ramsey overcame both the weather and the competition in the 125 and 250cc B classes at Pro Sport MX's last race of the season. Tim Hodock grabbed the lead from holeshot-artist MitChell Hodge in the second l25cc B moto and hauled until the slick tunnel jump jerked the tires out from under him. First-moto·winner Ramsey passed Hodock LO lead the way for the rest of the race. Hodock recovered nicely to finish second behind Ramsey, after providing some exciting racing as he and Hodge argued over the position. In the first round of 125cc A competition, Kevin Walker slid into the lead when Mike Brown fell on the back section. Holding his YZ wide open, Walker came up quickly on the 125cc B lappers. When Brown caught up on the last lap, the pair came up on a B rider, who moved to one side of the track to allow the front-runners past. Unfortunately, he moved to the side of the track that Walker had already committed too. Brown breezed by, while Walker was delayed enough to deny him access to Brown. The slippery' conditions also frustrated Walker in the second moto. Breathing down Brown's neck, Walker was in position to make a bid for the lead at the first opportunity, but the tunnel jump slid Walker's rear wheel out from under him. Momentum carried Walker over the jump, but off the track, and he circled to re-enter the circuit where he had exited, as required. Almost immediately upon reentry, Walker's mud-packed rear wheel slid out again, dumping him directly in front of Todd Bennick. Though Bennick avoided the downed rider, the delay in his pursuit of Brown was costly and kept Bennick in second for the rest of the race. Walker remounted in third, which he maintained to the finish. R.esults 50 STK: I. Logan Tate (Yam); 2. Todd Johnston (Yam). 50 MOD: I. Brandon Puckell (Yam); 2. Mall Boyer (Hon). 65 7-11; I.
