Tony Allen was ready to continue his sweep of the 40+ Expert class and was hoping this weekend would be
no different. After missing the start and watching his wave go by up on the hill Tony raced down to the start line and took
off down the grass track start trying to catch up to his class and start picking off riders. It proved to be more difficult
than he expected but by the end of the first lap Tony was in second and pushing hard to catch up to the American ISDE
hero from Idaho. By the end of the 30Km course and riding as fast as his YZ250 could take him through the trees
Tony finally caught a glimpse of the rider he'd been tracking down for the last three hours. Immediately Tony got
on the gas as hard as he could and made a quick charge to the inside corner barely backing off trying to nab his rival on
the inside and make the pass. In the process Tony bounced off a little rock and got ricoched into the other rider and
brought them to a stop. After a little negotiation of not riding in that manner the American respectively allowed to
Tony to ride the remaing 100m to the finish to claim first place. Thanks to very kind sportsmanship Tony kept his win streak
alive and ready to race.

After many second places Marcus Allen was ready to get to the top and keep it that way the rest of the season. Things
started out bad on the start with an early crash and some slower riders in the Intermediate Over class slowing Marcus down
from catching up first place.
After a quick charge Marcus moved his YZ125 into first place and continued to move farther into the lead. A while after
a tricky hill got the best of Marcus and fell back to second once again and preceded to take a tumble a couple corners late
and break off his front fender making it much more difficult to wind through the trails. Later on in the 'A' section a log
trail with some logs stacking nearly four feet high got the best of Marcus and lost his back break peddle while lifting
his bike over a log. Not Being able to push and catch up to first, Marcus managed to hang onto second place by the end of
the race.
