Jon
Niemi
showed up
at Woodland with a
V V
new look. W(h his
new Team Green
ride,
he unloaded
several shiny new Kawasakis on which to compete. Only he did
more than compete-
ln the
first moto
of the
l25cc
lntermediate contest,
Kawasaki riderlake Anstett
jumped
out into the lead. NiemiSot
a
poor
start and had to slice his way to the front. lt wesn't long
before he was hounding Ansteft, and the battle b€gan. The two
raced around the muddy course for several laps before Niemi
sneaked imo the lead coming into an S-turn, and that was all she
wrotel Niemi
quickly pulled
out into a comfortable lead and
took the checkered flag and the win. Ansteft finished se.ond.
CominS in third was Wren Fuller
The second moto was all Niemi's. Simplx no one was able
to match the
pace
of the number-856
green
streak. Niemi took
a big win, with Eric Fosberg and Avery Rogers following in
second aad third, respectively.
Niemi
(l-

Niemi and Njck
Holum were the eaiy leaders in
the first
moto of the
250cc
lntermediate class. Holum maintained the
Iead
position
for a momena, but it was only a maater of time
before Niemi shot by for the
lead. Niemi never
looked back and
took the moto win over Holum in second and Fosberg in third.
The second moto was a similar story except Holum was
never in the lead. k was all Niemi-
With quick
corner speed and
unique lines through the sloppy conditions, Niemi took anorher
win, makin8 it a
perfect
day for this up-and-coming rider
