OFF ROAD
AMA D-37/MSR BIG 6 GRAND PRIX SERIES
ROUND 2 / JANUARY 31 – FEBRUARY 1, 2015
HONOLULU HILLS MX / TAFT, CALIFORNIA
P98
By contrast, eventual runner-up Hinson
Honda's Justin Jones had to play catch-
up aboard his AHM Factory Services/
Dunlop/MSR CRF450R. "I got off to a
pretty bad start, but I actually reeled ev-
erybody in the first lap – I was pretty ag-
gressive," he admitted. "I just fell into the
pace early and tried to hook onto Robby.
I actually missed my pit so I went an extra
lap, which was a little scary, but I ended up fine. [Eric]
Yorba ended up reeling me in; he was riding awesome.
It's a bummer he broke."
WFOx Motorsports Honda's Udall also had Jones in
his sights towards the end but had to settle for third for
the second round in a row on his Galfer/Ame Grips/MSR
CRF450X. He revealed, "We were scheduled to pit when
everybody else did, but my tank's a little bigger than theirs
because I ride a 450X. They pitted and I went one more
lap – I never even had to deal with them [on the course],
really – and passed [Justin] Seeds and [Ryan Reina]. Two
passes in one; that's the easiest way to do it."
Though Scotty
Perez leads
here, Austin
Eddy (lurking in
the background)
ended up with
the Junior
Advanced win.
(Left) No one

250 than Dalton

Lightweight I
Expert wins over
the weekend.
(Right) Paul Krause
– here on his way
to the Magnum
victory – had a
busy weekend.

race and third
in Lightweight II
