250cc
Four-stroke classes.
with
two new
Suzukis,
wVo new
ciasses to
compete in, and all new riders to battle with on the
tr.ck, one mitbt think it
would
take Myers a little while to run
up front. Unfonunately for the competition, it didn't take f4yers
lonS
at all.
A consistent front-runner in the 85cc classes in the
past,
Myers
looked stront ritk out of the
tate
in his first race,
takint
the
holeshot in dle 250c(
Four-Stroke
chss and ridiry to the win.
Wth 16
orher
riders lined up with
him at th€ start of the
l25cc Novice class, the odds
were
agarnst
him
to
repeat
that
result. Sornebody
forSot
to tell
that
to Myers-
He launched
out
of d|e
tate
to take d|e
holeshot and n€ver iooked back, racinS
fast
and smoothly
to his second win of the day-
Myers repeated his race resutts in the second motos to finish
his day with four wins in four races-
As the
6
p.m-
start tirn€ for the fim moto approached, the
already-cool temperatures
quickly dropped as the sun went
down.
The
stront
winds remained \,,ith riders and spectators,
who
were
doinS eyerything they could to
stq/ warm. But while
the temperaores
were
droppint,
the racint was
jurt
heatir8
up.
ln the 85cc
(lo-l
l) class, Cody Trout
Srabbed
the
holeshot
and battled with
lello\rv
Suzuki rider f4atthew Gahrmann and
Yamaha-mounted Matthew Tackach. Trout
raced
to
the victory
in both rnotos, with Gahrrnann and Tkkach
finishing in
second
and third in both
motos, respectively. Trout went
on to
duplicate his
result in the
Junior
Supermini class, while
Gahrmann and
Tackach
continued their
on-track battle in
the
65cc
(lGl l) clasq
Gahrmann
pre..ailed by finishing l-l on his
Suzukito
take the overallwin, while Tackach finished 2-2 on his
KTM
to ta&e se.ond overall.
One of the best races of the
day came in the first race
of
the
Supermini class. Kawasaki
rider Robert Harshall got an excellent
start and had a several-bikelenSth
lead headinS into
the
first
turn.
Mar3hall
held on to the
lead for
the
first few laps, while
Suzuki riders Kevin Hudson and
Andrew
Homick made their
way toward the front. Hudson eventually made the
pass
on
Marshall and went on to earn the
win. while Homick
had to
settle for third, behind Marshall.
The second race of the Supermini class saw Hudson
