AMA DISTRICT 37 BIG 6 GRAND PRIX/WEST COAST GP SERIES
weekend.
Saturday's 90-minute WCGP
saw eventual Pro 2 winner
Blayne Thompson pull a sur-
prise holeshot on his Howard &
Sons Motorcycles/B&B Cycles/
Fox Racing-backed CRF250R
though it didn't take too long for
the Open bikes on the line to
start outpowering him on the fast
and flowing Hilltoppers course.
In fact, the early leader turned
out to be Gordon Ward who
would win Sunday's Senior race.
"It was pretty fun! I came from,
like, fifth place at first and I was
like, 'Wow, I'm just feeling it!' I felt
really good, just railing everything
and started to pull away, then af-
ter that, my age was catching up
with me!" he said.
