at Tl4T l4X Park were treated to fine weather
and near-perfect track conditions. Fierce com-
petition,
close racang and
points
ties were the
order of the day, but the ambulance never
moved from its
parking
spot. Tra.k owner
Andy BaS8enstoss and SAS
chiefvickie
Roberts
get
high marl.s for a smoothly run
program.
Despite worries about
the
predicted rain,
and
despite competition
from other MX
events
in the area, riders from five states turned out
ro swell
the entry
list to
just
a dozen short of
the 300
mark. The
event
was the first of only
two races that will b€ held this
year
at TMT
Spy Optic
was the day's sponsor,
Sivint
awards to class
winners.
Scot( and
Acerbis
supplied the holeshot a\,yards. Gary Avans
provided
the blow-by-blow
race announcine
a5
well as
misaellaneous hilarity
between
moros.
Racing for the first time in six months,
Georgiat Auston Albers wd making his A-cla-!s
debut on this day. His match wnh Kentucky's
,ustin
Sipes in the Four-Stroke Pro class was
easily one of the day's best. ln dreir winner-rake-
all second-moto debate,
WBR
Suzuki/Dunlop-
ba.ked Sipes and Maxxis/MsR/SYD's Albe.s
swapped the lead back and forth numerous
cimes. Albers was llrst at the checkered flag,
nming the
gold
over Sip€s in a
pdnts
ti€.
ln the 250cc A .l.ss. Sipes and Albers again
had
some
close moments,
but
Sipes won both
motos by a comfortable margin over Albers.
The final l25cc B moto was a thnller At the
start, Outdoor Pow€rsport's
.losh
Burdett
showed the way, with Kirk's Cycle-backed
Cameron Stone
in
tow.
gurdett
held
on
to
the
lead durinS several intense laps, but durinS the
fanal moments, Stone made a
pass
stick and
won
the
cla5s with
a
perfect
score. Burdett's
3'2 score srned the silver in a
points
tie over
Trea l"liller's 2-3 score.
FollowinS his runner-up finish in $e l25cc
B
(ontest,
Burdett returned to win the
ColleSeboy
(16-24)
class
with
a
perfect
score.
(Burdett
may have had an extra motivation to
wrn: His
good
friend Trey Price. a
cyrtic
fibrocis
victim, was watching the
race,)
The unpredictable l25cc C contest saw
multiple race leaders during both motos, but
Atlanta resident Gage Hartman urged his
MorosporE Honda to the f.onr both times and
came away with a
pair
of convincin8 moto
wins. Hartman
also
won
the Unlimlted
ln moto two ot the 250cc C .ontest, Brian
Berr), made a dmmatic
pass
in the final tum of
the
last lap
to
80
by Nicholas I'lanners. A5 a
result, Berry's l-2 tally won rhe day, over the
3-l score lurned
in
by.lacob
Nash. Mannerc'
2-3 llnishes were
good
for
the bronze.
Kentucky's Dylan Carpenter looked
confident as he
gassed
his SYDlt'oshimura-
backed Suzuki to unbeatable 2- I scores in both
rhe 250c. B and Four-Stroke Amateur classes.
Defending
