Huntersville opens D23 Season Huntersville, Minnesota - June 5 By Michael Pohl

he River Valley Enduro Riders kicked off the D-23 Enduro season with one of the best Huntersville enduros in memory. Finally, mother nature cooperated with perfectly sunny weather and mild temperatures. The trails at Huntersville seem to get better every year. The reputation up here is for sand and endless whoops, and certainly both exist in abundance. But much of the trail system flows nicely, allowing riders to maintain a consistent pace through the woods. Some of the best trails are on the north side of the highway, reserved the rest of the year for horse riders (these trials were originally built years ago by local off-road riders). Access to these northern trails allowed the length of the enduro to run fifty-five ground miles. Immediately after the start, a handful of the riders initially mistook a metal snowmobile arrow for a paper enduro arrow. They turned off the ditch early and ended up making record time to the first check. The riders on minute one were surprised to find a half dozen riders chatting amiably amongst themselves as they roared breathlessly into the first checkpoint. AMA rules dictate disqualification in such instances. They seemed to take it in stride. The Overall B class win went to Austin Pogreba. He topped the 57 riders in the class, with the next best B rider four minutes behind this thirteen year old. Had Pogreba ridden in the A class, he would have beaten 2/3 of those guys too! In last month’s article we told you to watch this lad. See. No major injuries were reported, though Senior A rider Wynn Earlewine crashed headfirst, very hard, into a tree trunk. The force of the impact broke his helmet and left much red

AA rider Jeff Colbert.

bruising on his face and forehead. Wynn’s recovery looks like it will be 100%, and we should see him back in the woods soon. Rider Mark Schreiner went over the bars at high speed on an open section. The ambulance had him on a stretcher for a while, but he too ended up back on his feet without any serious injury. Tough sport, this enduro business. Nate Ferderer brought in the lowest score, losing only nine minutes throughout the day. Tim Nienow was just one minute behind Ferderer and Kyle Nelson was one behind that. Craig Holasek and Steven Adams rounded out the top five.

More event info can be found at: cmjraceway.com From the Back of the Pack By Mike Quinn, D23 Chairman This has been a busy month for me with a trip to Washington DC, and putting together the Second Annual Motocross Safety Summit, the days seem to be flying by too fast. The trip to DC was a very short overnighter, but insightful to say the least. The main purpose of the visit was to receive an award for design and construction for the Gilbert, MN OHV park. We also took the opportunity to meet with congressional staff to discuss several legislative issues that affect all of us that ride off-road. We started the day with a meeting at the Department of Transportation where Director Mendez spent and hour with us discussing the program for Recreational Trails. If you are like me you are wondering why we are meeting with DOT. The answer is that the money for some of

Announcements, personal stuff, and.... our trail projects comes from the Recreational Trails Program that is administered by DOT. The funds are gas taxes that we pay on the gas we buy for our off highway use. It is critically important to us as off-roaders that this program remain in place and under its current guidelines. Director Mendez was especially attentive to all the groups in attendance and impressed with the work that was done. This is without a doubt the most cost efficient and high yield program in our national agenda. Mendez is fully supportive of the program and urged us to make sure our legislators hear from us on the importance of the program. Call your congress people today and get them on board with the Recreational Trails Program. Our work on the lead ban is not done but there is legislation in both the house and senate side that would alleviate most or all of the problem. Senator Amy Klobuchar is a leader in getting the problem fixed and has introduced legislation to exempt us from the ban. She is working on getting the bill passed. We met with some of our representatives and educated them on the issue. All in all it was a very productive trip and educational for me. Minnesota was well represented by Tom and Karen Umphres along with Ron Potter of the MN DNR and myself. A special thanks has to go to Ron for his continued hard work and support. He is one of the main forces behind the Gilbert OHV Park. I can’t say enough about the work that Tom and Karen do. We are incredibly lucky to have such dedicated well spoken people work-

Are you looking to get more involved in the sport? Maybe reduce the cost of racing some? Covering events may be the way to do it. If your favorite events aren’t getting coverage in the magazine, do something about it. It takes a dedicated effort, but at the same time it can be very rewarding and you’ll get to know a lot of other racers and family members. E-mail Chuck at chuck@cycleusa.com with your interest.

ing for us all the time. I would have to classify them as our secret weapon. The Second Annual Motocross Safety Summit is being held at Spring Creek MX Park in conjunction with the Pro National Program. The meeting is being held on Friday July 15th on the second floor of the signup building from 5:00 to 9:00 P.M. The list of presenters is impressive to say the least. Keynote speaker will be Dr. John Bodnar known to all of us for his work on the professional circuit. Mark Lovell the concussion guru of the country will be there, several physicians from Mayo Clinic orthopedics and sports medicine will be presenting talks on a variety of topics. This meeting is open to any one that would like to attend. It will be especially useful to the EMT paramedics that cover motocross events. The meeting is being sponsored by Mayo Clinic. I am really excited about this as it will have tons of useful information for the racer, racer’s parents, promoters, and emergency personnel. This is the first time that our sport has had the support of the a major medical center. At the district business level there is not much developing right now. If any of you out there would like to see rules changes at the AMA level get the changes into an AMA congressman now the due date is August 1st. AMA congressmen for D23 are Al Mathwig

Offroad, Dale Broughton MX, Mike Quinn ATV, Tom Umpress Road and Recreation. The suggested changes or additions can be emailed to any one of us in the next month. Remember that we are not out of the woods on the lead ban issue keep the pressure up on your senators and representatives until we have this issue solved. Keep riding and racing we are going to weather this economic storm and be back bigger and stronger than ever. See you on the tracks and trails of Minnesota.

Sunset Ridge LL Regional Walnut, Illinois - June 18-19 By Missi Thede

fter a successful day of practice on Friday and a huge turnout for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Walk, Sunset Ridge was all geared up for the huge race weekend starting Saturday with riders from all over the nation. With the threat of rain in the forecast for both Saturday and Sunday, everyone just wanted to get the races underway to get their motos in with a perfect weekend of racing. First classes of the day were Schoolboy 1 Div. 1 and Div. 2 – the fastest classes of the weekend. With 25 riders on the gate in division one the excitement began with a roar off the gate. Michigan’s Timmy Badour on his KTM. Dean Spangler started in second with North Carolina’s Kody Kuykendall in third. Spangler took the lead over Badour as Kuykendall also moved to second and Wisconsin’s Cody Williams third while Badour

tried to gain on him but was unsuccessful. In division two Indiana’s Josh Osby, Oklahoma’s Chase Marquier and Georgia’s Max Tannenbaum ran close right before the camel hump with Osby in the lead. Tannenbaum made his move for the lead in the second lap putting Marquier in second and Osby third. With last lap excitement, Marquier gained first position on Tannenbaum and took the win. After the consis, the second moto began for Schoolboy 1 with the top leaders from the divisions making their starting statement. Marquier took the lead with Kuykendall and Tannenbaum running tight along with Spangler and Osby over the tabletops in the back section. Badour wanted to get back his piece of the action and had Bryan Turpin of Georgia on his tail. Tannenbaum put on major heat and took over first. Kuykendall fell to fourth with Osby in pursuit of him as Badour fell behind to

Elwood, Il’s gina grigoletti won girls (9-11).

Kenosha, WI’s Johnny Weber won the 51cc (4-6) shaft Drive class.

CYCLE USA, July 2011

Titan Immel. Tannenbaum pulled a comfortable lead as Spangler got his second position back dropping Marquier to third with Kuykendall in fourth. Sunday’s third moto decided it all between the leaders from Saturday’s race. With 40 riders on the Schoolboy 1 gate this was the deciding factor for who would go to Loretta’s. The top ten riders of each class go to Loretta’s. Spangler took the lead right away with Andy Kost of Wisconsin with Marquier in pursuit. The gap increased between Kost and Spangler as Williams was gaining ground on Kost with Marquier falling to fifth as Osby made the pass on him before the last lap. Overall Schoolboy 1 results were Spangler, Marquier, Osby, Kost and Williams. The 65cc (10-11) Stk class

was packed with forty-two riders. Coming off the gate Indiana’s Brett Gourley on his KTM took the holeshot while Michigan’s Dar Comfort and Angelo Molina were in hot pursuit. Comfort made the pass before the camel hump, and Hinckley, Illinois’ Tanner Chada made the pass on Molina second lap. Gourley made his way back to first but then Chada took the lead in the third lap and held it solidly the rest of the race, keeping Gourley at bay. With the second moto underway Kansas’ Kevin Moranz and Gourley had the first two positions through the first lap. Chada gained a position on Gourley to second bumping Gourley to third. Wisconsin’s Blake Hansen moved up on Gourley for third, but a determined Gourley took it back to

end the second moto. Sunday’s race had Moranz in the lead with Gourley, Hansen and Comfort all close through the first lap. Moranz and Hansen ended up dropping back to sixth and seventh giving Gourley the lead and Missouri’s Michael Hicks second ahead of Comfort. Gourley took the win, Hicks second and Comfort third. Overall results were Gourley, Chada, Moranz, Comfort and Hicks. The Women’s class had twenty-nine riders on the gate as Kansas’ Abby Davignon took the holeshot. Kirsten Raemisch of Wisconsin laid the heat on hard with Cloe Spaeth of Minnesota in third. Raemisch made the pass and locked in her lead and increased the distance between the rest of the pack. Davignon maintained second while Kayla Solheid of Minnesota took over third from Spaeth. Solheid then lost major positioning as Spaeth took over her third place spot for moto. In the second moto Raemisch dominated the class again with Davignon in second, and Spaeth third. Solheid moved up into third mid moto, definitely an improvement from her first moto run of tenth place.

Sunday’s race held the same results from Saturday’s with the top five remaining the same. Overall it was Raemisch, Davignon, Solheid, Brittany Newman and Brittney Bebout. Sunday’s race was promptly over at 12:30pm, perfect so all the “dads” could enjoy the rest of the day “relaxing” on Father’s Day with their families after a spectacular weekend of racing at Sunset Ridge MX!

Down and Dirty at D&D Rochester, Indiana - June 11 By Becky Stichter

eads Racing took racers to D&D this weekend and riders had good weather for Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race, on a mostly dry track. The woods section was really wet and muddy, but otherwise the track was mostly dry. It took riders a few laps to get used to the sand. In practice, and during the first moto, several riders went down more than once. Also, by popular demand, the race was a three moto format today. Quad A hit the track first. In the first moto Robert Kintner was first out of the woods. Pressuring hard from behind was Andy Balaz. Kintner rode hard, but Balaz was on the throttle and got past him. Kintner didn't give up and was giving Balaz a good challenge until his quad stalled. It took awhile for Kintner to get his machine running again, giving Balaz plenty of breathing room and a win for the first moto. In the second and third moto Kintner didn't have any problems and was able to pull the win, finishing 2-1-1. Moto one was a challenge for several of the Quad B riders, as a lot of riders had problems with stalling. Greggory Miller led the group with George Balaz and Sam Moan close behind. Miller was riding well, when he got stuck behind a rider who had stalled. While Miller lost valuable time, Balaz, Moan, and Robert Hollar took advantage of this and flew past him. Three other riders had worse luck than Miller because they weren't able to get going again after they stalled as Balaz grabbed the win.

In the second moto Miller had a good start and got ahead of all the other riders. He was unstoppable and won this moto. Balaz and Jonathan Brink were battling for second place, with Hollar and Jared Nutt coming up fast from behind. With a lot of position changes going on, it could have been several riders pulling into second place, but Balaz pulled ahead and finished second, followed by Hollar. Moto three was good to Miller again, with him finishing 4-1-1. Having a better run this moto, Moan worked his way into a battle with Balaz for second. The two were showing no mercy to each other. Moan was able to stay ahead of Balaz, giving Moan the second place finish this moto. David Huss and Cliff Brock of the +30B/C class battled each other all day. In the first and second moto, Huss, mounted on a Yamaha, took the lead with Brock and Randall Hammel coming up fast from behind. Brock took control of second place, but it was apparent that he wanted to

move up. Huss was able to hold Brock off, and won both motos. In the third moto, Brock, mounted on a Honda, gave it his all and pulled ahead of the other riders. Brock rode solid and was not going to let anyone get by him as he took the final moto win, followed by Huss. In the 250C class, Austin Crum looked comfortable on the track and ran 1-1-1, beating out Zach Conrad and Megan Moan. Conrad gave Crum a pretty good battle, but just couldn't get around him. In the 85cc 12-15 class, Kawasaki riders Nick Raseta and Keegan Hicks came out of the woods section leading in the first moto. Raseta looked a little more comfortable with the sandy track, but the last time through the woods Raseta had some difficulties, giving Hicks the lead. Hicks took advantage of this and won the moto. In the second and third motos Hicks settled in and rode faster. Raseta had good runs, but wasn't able to get around Hicks. Hicks finished 1-1-1. JP Brennan and Cody Fry battled it out in the SuperMini class. In the first moto, Brennan, mounted on a Honda, was riding well and took the lead and eventual win. In motos two and three Fry stepped it up and took the lead. Brennan rode well, but Fry wasn't going to let him take the lead. Fry finished 2-1-1.

Memorial weekend at Fun Valley Montezuma, Iowa - May 28 By Tracy Petrak Photos by Dale Wooten

hat would Memorial Day weekend be without a rain shower or two? Day one of the two day event at Fun Valley started with an intermittent shower here and there while the practice was in progress. This proved to be slick and mucky especially for the smaller bikes. The rain actually came down harder when the 65â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s went out. The clouds stuck around and the races got started with prayer and a great big Thank you to all Veterans and service men of this great country. The 65Jrs got out of the gates in race six with the holeshot belonging to #961 Dylan Smith leading ten others. In the first moto Smith took the winning flag while Gage Steburg and Spencer Pelzer had to deal with each other and decide who wanted to get the runner-up spot. As the two zigged and zagged in the mud, #97 Pelzer pulled out to second place and Steburg had to succumb to third. When the second moto came to an end Smith had taken the win as Steburg confiscated the second place from Pelzer. The 85Srâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race was one that made you

wonder what they did to make the rain Gods angry. A heavy downpour started as this class left the gate. The track became more like a mud run than a motocross race. In the first moto Justin Beach took the lead with others following his lines. The tires on these bikes where loaded up with mud and every corner each one had to do an actual slide to stay up. Beach was followed by Haylee Peterman and Damian Benson. In the second moto the conditions were much better and after hours of scraping the bikes, you could see the tread again. This time Benson decided the first place position was his and he took it. Crossing the finish line behind him was Peterman, Beach, Cass McKeag and Coleton Rilling to round out the top five. The Quad C class decided it was time to do some mud running themselves. Colton Paustian seemed to miss the memo that it rained out there so he took off with no regards to the conditions. Douglas Jensen stayed behind him through all the laps and they were chased by Jesse Wood and Cody Hicks. In the second moto again Paustian took off for the first place finish and this time was followed by Jensen and Marty Kruse. Paustian got his first place overall with Jensen second and Wood taking third place from the

remaining seven quad riders. I had a hard time keeping track of these racers as they were covered in mud. Sunday morning spoke for itself. At 6:30AM the first rumble of thunder was heard and the clouds burst open with a deluge of rain. Of course, all optimistic people (myself included) had bikes, tents, gear and everything still out. So, as we started building an ark, the motocross races were cancelled. While looking at the rain come down, the mud and water building momentum coming down the hill, one wonders... a mud slide, why not?

Schultz goes wild at Polo Polo, Illinois - June 19 By Bud Northrup Photo by Martha Peters

ver 160 entries rode the Rock River Riders tough hill on June 19, with Wade Schultz emerging as the fastest rider of the day. He actually had the top two fastest rides on his CR500 while taking the wins in both the 600cc and +40 classes. Schultz crashed at 100 feet on his first ride in the 600cc class, and had to come from behind for that win. Joe McGurer flew his KX500 over the top in 3.569 seconds to take the first round lead, but the hill got a lot faster after intermission. Schultz blitzed the hill in a sizzling 3.144 seconds to take the class win and the Fast Time award. McGurer was a lot faster also on his second ride, but his 3.211 second time came up just a bit short. Schultz brought his Honda back in the +40 class and took the first round lead, but had to come from behind again to overtake Mike Pulver who posted a 3.216 second time to take the second round lead. Schultz was up to the challenge, however, and flew his Honda over the top in 3.170 seconds to take the win. The Wheelwright family had a great day, winning every class they entered. Eric took the wins in the 250cc, 450cc and 600cc 4Stroke classes, while his daughter Morgan claimed the wins in the 85Sr and Women’s class. Eric took the 250cc class win with a 3.432 second run on his CR250, convincingly ahead of runner-up Kurt Krohmer. Jon Creek was third. Wheelwright rode his CRF450 thumper to the win in the 450cc class with a 3.305 second run, with Matt Altfillisch second with a 3.495 second run and Matt Peters third. Eric rode the Honda again in the 600 four stroke class and took that win with a 3.319 second time, closely followed by Paul Hackbarth with a 3.347 second time on his KTM. Morgan rode her Suzuki 126 feet to take the 85Sr win, but got the bike over the top in 4.867 seconds to win the Women’s class, the only lady to see the top with Becky Lawson the closest at 116 feet. Lloyd Haas rode his Kawasaki triples to two class wins, coming from behind after a first round crash to overtake Nick Walton and his BSA who had taken a the first round lead with a 4.232 second run. Haas turned a very fast (third fastest of the day) 3.187 seconds to take the class lead on his second ride. Walton was faster also, with a 3.717 second time.

Lane Schultz, also BSA mounted, claimed third in 3.899 seconds. Haas then ran his 800cc triple in the Open class, and took that win with a 3.267 second time. Lane Schultz was second on his Suzuki with brother Wade, also Suzuki mounted, coming in third. Andrew ‘Little Fast Andy’ Fortner was the only other youth rider to top the hill and did it on both rides. His 5.886 second run on his CR85 took the win in the 85Jr class, with Levi Peters second with a 109 foot effort. In other youth class action, Brodie Bennett was the 50cc class winner with a 50 foot climb with Jaydn Aliprandini second. Hank Smith was the best in the 65cc class with a 114 foot effort.

When the sun came up the dirt was perfect and riders were eager to hit the track. Early in the race order was 250A, and getting out front early was Ryan Gilbert riding an older Honda two stroke while the his KTM was out with transmission trouble. Behind him was Sam Matt Maier wento 1-1 in +25A and 1-2 in Open A. Long and Kody Kamm. In the early laps it looked like Gilbert porte, Ziolkowski, Ty Tyrrel, and A class new was going to walk away. Kamm had gone comer Adam Reek in fifth. With Sam Long down on lap two putting Hunter Nystrom into and Ryan Gilbert’s bad second motos it made third. Nate Laporte had got his Yamaha to a Kamm’s 4-1 finishes good enough for second top ten start and was picking off riders one by overall. one. At the half way point Gilbert and Long “After I got into second I kinda knew I had stretched out a big lead over the rest of had the overall cause (Kody) Kamm was back the pack.

Open A, and class veteran Matt Maier was ready as he lined up with thirty young, hungry A riders. His switch to the all new Yamaha 450 in 2011 seemed to put life back into his racing this year. He grabbed the holeshot and led early in moto one followed by Ty Tyrrel and Dustin Pulley. Tyrrel went down early putting Pulley into second, but by then Maier had checked out. Kamm worked his way up to the third spot. Vaughn Mays picked up a fourth in moto one and Nate Laporte took his 250f from near last to fifth against all the big 450’s. Kamm nailed the second Open moto holeshot and tried to check out like he did in the second 250 moto, but Maier was all over him, eating roost bad. Maier was trying to make the outside lines work to get around him. With about four laps to go it paid off and Maier moved into the lead. That wasn’t the end for Maier because once he got around Kamm, Dustin Pulley who had been lurking in third made short work of Kamm and was now hounding Maier for the lead. After eating roost lap after lap from Kamm, Maier now had to deal with Pulley and with two laps to go Pulley made a move to the inside before the rhythm section for the lead.

Heppner shines at Jordan Jordan, MN - June 3 By Jamie Theis Photos by Matt Wellumson

ue to this springs rain, June 3rd ended up being the second race of the season at the Jordan Supercross track, and boy what a difference, 90 plus degrees and what felt like 100 percent humidity. The racers that braved the weather got an advanced preview of what the summer might be like when the Motokazie traveling Supercross Series gets into the swing of things. The Jordan track was in great condition with lots of new saw dust added to hold in the moisture and keep the dust at bay. One of the largest classes of the night was 85cc 12-15. The heat race was the second race in the order of the night, and like

usual, lots of fun to watch. Nolan Heppner of Denmark, MN took the holeshot with Walker Kruse of Janesville hot on his heals. Not to be outdone, Jacqueline Riess of Eden Prairie, MN, racing in the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class, which was part of a double drop with the 85cc 12-15, was in third place after the first turn; and held her position with the boys for the first lap of the 3 lap heat race. At the finish line the first lap positions were Heppner, Kruse, Riess, Alex Damlow of Silver Lake, MN, and Josh Weis of Hutchinson, MN. In the second lap Cody Wroe of Faribault, MN, took a more aggressive approach, letting everyone know he was a force to be reckoned Walker Kruse rode well for second in 85cc 12-15.

At the checkered flag it was Heppner, Kruse, Wroe, Riess, Damlow, Weis, Bret Holland of Rogers, MN, Max Andersen, Donavon Albers, Sam Hoh and Colton Neuharth. The Main event race for the 85cc 12-15 class was a little more cut and dry. The five lap race did not see a lot of aggressive racing as the riders were spread out more. In the first lap it was Heppner, Kruse, Wroe, Neuharth, Holland, Weis, Andersen, Albers, Damlow and Hoh. On the second lap Sam Hoh went down in the whoops section; and was unable to recover until the third lap. By the fifth lap Heppner had created a large gap and was able to lap the three riders at the back of the pack Andersen, Albers and Damlow. At the checkered flag the finish order was the same as the first lap with Heppner taking the overall win.

Muddy Waters finally opens season East Moline, Illinois - June 5 By Jordyn Minnaert

espite the humidity in the midwest and a chance of storms in the early morning, racers still woke up and put their best toward a great day of racing. The first Muddy Waters Motosports Park race of the season went well. Due to weather conditions, three pervious races were canceled, but that didn’t slow Tony and Julie Mclaughlin’s (track owners) ambitions to put on a outstanding event to start this season. In the Open C moto, Nickilis Stiles took the holeshot and led the first lap with Evan Toland in the second, and Skyler Harkless third. Nick Falk was running fourth. He kept charging hard and did not give up any aspiration for the third spot. Toland took a dive in the second corner and Falk moved up to third, but then it was Falk’s turn aa he stumbles in the corner after the finish, got up quickly, but lost the position.

Into the third lap, Stiles was still leading with Harkless behind. Wyatt Barnett on his Kawasaki had moved up to third. When the white flag waved, Harkless came over the finish in first. Stiles gave up his number one spot as Barnett and Falk battled it out for the third. Barnett made a mistake getting stuck in a rut and Falk ran into the back of the fallen bike. Toland ended up taking third as Falk regrouped to finish fourth. The second moto started with Stiles, Harkless, and Falk taking a strong lead into the first corner. Harkless went for the pass and got around Stiles for the first place spot right away. Stiles and Falk continued to battle it out for the second position through most of the moto. Harkless took it easy in first as Falk made the outstanding pass for second. When the checkered was waved, Harkless, Falk, and Stiles covered the top three spots. 250B first moto action started out with Reid Janson out of Cambridge Illinois pulling the holeshot. Riders flew high over the finish jump as they made their way into the second lap with Jake Grafelman in second and David

Davis in third place at this point. Ryan Treanor quickly moved up to take third place off of Davis’ hands. The third lap heated up for not only the riders but also the spectators. Janson charged hard around the first corner but Grafelman made a smooth pass for first. Seconds later, Janson made a sly move and took it right back. The white flag waved as Grafelman again took back the lead. When the riders came over the finish, positions of all top three had stayed the same. As the second 250B moto made it onto the track Janson had no problem setting everyone straight when he took the holeshot. Blake Shiman, from Galesburg, Illinois followed close behind Janson with Dakota Cox in third. Into the second lap Cox fell back and had let Tyler Garien, out of Maquoketa Iowa, into third place. Then Garien made an outstanding pass by Shiman. In the back rhythm section, Wyatt Edwards went for a pass and got by Shiman as well. When the checkered flag came out, Janson kept his first place lead with Garien in second, and Edwards third. Throughout the day, riders pushed their hardest to get the win and spectators did their best to cheer on every racer out there. Another

Carver Hare Scrambles Carver, Minnesota - May 29 By Michael Pohl

innesota? At times it sure looked like the Austrian torture ride, what with riders having to negotiate a humongous sand pit that was over 100 feet deep which seemed to stretch to the horizon. Below this the Minnesota river bursting over it’s banks. Such was the debut of Motokazie’s first ever Carver Hare Scrambles, near Carver, Minnesota. Just a short drive southwest of the Twin Cities, and situated in the hills and bottoms near the Minnesota river, the course ran on a large equestrian ranch. The wet spring weather and high water along the river caused the event be postponed a few weeks. Even after this delay, stubbornly high water levels forced race organizer Lee Theis to cut about half the length off the original course on race day. Most notable was a massive sand uphill that took riders out of the sand pit. This deep, sandy climb gave many C-class riders fits on their way up. The course then wound through a hilly woods section before spitting riders out onto the river bottoms. The bottoms soon became a mud fest, as laps built up and riders wore down. 200A class rider

steve Danelius in +50A.

Adam Less swamped his KTM, not once, but twice. “I had to up-end my bike and pump all the water out of the cylinder and by the time I was done I could barely kick start the bike. Fortunately a group of spectators came over and offered to kick start my bike and it fired right up. When I swamped out again, in a different section, the same guys came over and did it again for me!” The challenging conditions caused riders to fatigue early. Grief came to many riders on an off camber hill section in the woods. Exposed roots made this a dicey climb. The top riders blasted and bounced up this with determination and vigor. But many a rider rubbed handlebars with other riders as they picked their way up this nasty section. Throughout the day, Lee Theis, donning a head mounted communication system, could be seen directing his troops like a general in the field. He rerouted the course in many places to keep riders moving and to minimize the traffic jams. The organizers were very proactive throughout the day. “We had our glitches and frustrations, which is probably normal for a first time event like this. We really fought Mother Nature on this one”. In spite of the dismal weather conditions, riders raved about this challenging event. Many said they hope Motokazie is able to put on a second Carver hare scrambles in 2012. “It all depends on volunteer help”, said Theis. “It takes a gargantuan amount of work to put on one of these events, and we welcome all the people we can get to help us next spring.” Kyle Nelson prevailed, taking home his

second hare scrambles win of the season. Nate Ferderer was about a minute behind Nelson. Up-and-comer Dennis Lau was third, followed by veterans Peter Graves and Craig Holasek.

Another perfect day at Azzie lake Mills, Wisconsin - June 11 By Dave Hollub

s everyone at Aztalan started waking up Sunday morning the fog was so thick you could hardly see the pit next to you. Soon the sun was able to start burning away the fog and then the silence was broken by the first few bikes hitting the track for practice. By race time the sun was shining for a great day of racing as the 480 entries got ready to race. Jackson Oehlhof was fast out of the gate in 50Jr grabbing the holeshot in both motos, but in the end Elijah Tetzlaff took the moto wins. In moto one Tetzlaff was able to check out and left Oehlhof battling with Owen Haseleu for second position. Oehlhof held on and took the checkers in second just ahead of Haseleu. Drew Banholzer was running fourth and soon had pressure from Hannah Densow. Densow made her move on lap two and stuck the pass. In moto two once Tetzlaff got by Oehlhof he began to put some breathing room in. Banholzer held on to third to the checkers. Jeremy Martens was first around the holeshot in Non-Current but Daniel Ploch and Paul Harding were out front at the plateau on lap one. Ian Malinowski pushed his way up from a sixth place start to second by the finish. Ploch settled for third edging out Anthony Mborino. In moto two the holeshot was tight but Ploch used the inside line to edge out Martens at the corner. Mborino got out front in the west end but on the first trip over the plateau Harding jumped over him to take the lead. Harding was able to gain some open space as he cruised to the win while Mborino held second. By midway through lap two a battle developed between Ploch and Craig Flancher for third place. Finally in the sand by the barn Flancher got past and gained enough space to hold third to the finish. Mborino (4/2) edged out Ploch (3/4) for second overall. The 125Jr. class belonged to Cody Williams today as he led each moto start to finish. Riley Telfer was able to cruise to second in moto one. James Burd battled with Dom Baker for third until the end of lap two when Burd sealed it up. Next Bryce Telfer started challenging Baker for position and by the checkers Telfer was running in fourth. In moto two Williams again put a gap on the field. This time Burd held the advantage for second with Riley Telfer all over him all moto looking for enough of an opening to slip by.

Williams (1/1) took the overall while Burd (3/2) took the tiebreaker over Riley Telfer (2/3) for second. In +25A Mathew Maier took the holeshot and then stayed out front to the finish despite pressure early on from Chris Himes. Tyler Smulders got pushed off the track into the mud in the holeshot and to the back of the pack. Smulders kept picking off positions and by the fourth trip over the plateau the only rider ahead of him was Maier. As the checkers flew on moto one it was Maier out front with Smulders and Himes rounding out the top three. Maier again grabbed the holeshot in moto two but this time both Himes and Smulders were right behind. Smulders battled with Himes for the first two laps, but found the opening he was looking for and stuck the pass on the west end to take over second. Corey Caby had his KTM in fourth until Jason Warner out jumped him for position. Midway through the race Mark Marescalco had taken over fourth with Brian McCanna right behind. Maier took the overall with Smulders second and Himes third. Maier also finished first in Open A and second in Unlimited A by winning five of six motos today. The Womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class was a final tune-up for Kirsten Raemisch and

Ashley Densow before heading down to the Loretta regional next week. Raemisch took the holeshot with Brittany Curelo right behind her. Densow moved up fast and gained an added advantage as she cleared the plateau to seal second place. Sierra Dortch cashed in on

a bobble by Curelo and slipped into third on lap two. In moto two Densow was right behind Raemisch at the holeshot but went down when she cross rutted. Dawn Edwards was running second with Dortch and Curelo close behind. Densow charged hard and by lap three was in fourth when she got caught up with a downed rider. She was able to get up quick, finally finishing third. Raemisch was top overall with Densow second and Dortch third. After Densow grabbed the second overall in Women’s and a second place in moto one of 250C-1 she said, “Womens went pretty good. In the second moto I got caught up in the holeshot. When I got up I was in last but made my way through to third. I ended up with a second overall. I think it really helps jumping the plateau, it seems like it takes off about two seconds a lap. Now that I did it I think it is really cool and such a big adrenaline rush. I want to thank Southeast Sales, Ride, and my Mom and Dad.” The +50 class gets a bigger gate every race and seems to just keep getting faster and faster. Tim Riemer grabbed the holeshot but soon Tim Boblin was around him and out front. Tom Dretzka was on Boblin’s rear tire. Dretzka finally sealed the lead on the last lap with a pass in the sand section. Gary Behrens finished third with Edward Mehring right behind. The moto two holeshot was a close call as Riemer used the inside line to edge out Terry Bergland by inches but once again both

Owen Haseleu was third overall in 50Jr.

Boblin and Dretzka got out front and started battling. In this moto the lead changed a couple times a lap as they swapped back and forth until finally on the white flag lap Dretzka closed the door for good in the barn section. Boblin later, “The second +50 moto was a good time dicing back and forth with Tommy. I know he was cutting me a little slack, but I really have fun riding with him. He ended up getting by me at the end after going back and forth most of the moto. We had a good dice going there. I just want to say thanks to Aztalan and the crew for Brad Yde finished third overall in +30B/C. putting on a great show.

Smith family sweeps Matthews Matthews, Indiana - June 5 By David Dunnuck Photos by Cheryl Dunnuck

he seventh round of the 2011 D15 series was held at the historic covered bridge in Matthews, IN hosted by the Muddobbers MC. The trail was shaping up to be in perfect conditions mid way through the day before, then the storms rolled in to the area. High winds, heavy rains and severe weather sirens sounded throughout the evening. As the sun came up Sunday morning, it appeared as if the rain simply ran off into the Mississinewa River. The PeeWee race was the first to take place Sunday morning following the traditional parade lap. In the PeeWee Injector class, Brody Smith took an early lead and never looked back. In the Pre-mix race, Spenser Paxson landed the victory. The Mini racers faced a new obstacle in this year’s course. In the weeks leading up to the event, severe winds had knocked over a very large tree on the river’s bank. The crew opted to cut it into long lengths and build a log pile jump for the riders to manage. As with most difficult sections, the crew provided an alternative route for riders to take. Jaden Smith nailed the holeshot with Colton Wilkes and Johnny Schoolcraft following close behind. By the time the riders returned to the covered bridge, Vincent Smith had recovered from a terrible start and moved up into fourth place amongst a very tight group of fast riders. One by one, they all made the log jump look very easy. Jaden Smith suffered a few setbacks early on and fell back in the running

order, but managed to recover and put the hammer down in the last half of the race running away with the overall victory. In the 85cc class, Tyler Darmon and Dawson Dunnuck were charging hard. The lead changed several times until a late race crash by Dunnuck provided a buffer for Darmon to take the win. In addition to the log crossing which the kids made look easy, the big bike course included a unique enduro cross section that contained very large rock gardens, tire crossings and fanned out log crossing turns. While the section by itself was intimidating, the steep downhill with the concrete wall at the bottom drew a lot of attention. The first lap was exciting for all who were watching as the top six riders were separated by a mere ten seconds with Derek Spangler leading the pack. Jesse Warner, Duell Murphy, Jeff Fredette, Ryan Prince and Anthony Wagler rounded out the top six on the first lap. Anther top contender, Lucas Statom, had a horrible start and found himself stuck in the back of the pack. Unfortunately for Statom, he found it very difficult to pass the other A riders ahead of him. Once he cleared the group, he started running lap times comparable to the other front-runners. The close racing continued throughout the entire race with Fredette taking the lead for good on the third lap. While the race at the front was exciting, there was something very special happening in the Vet A class. Zeke Smith (Jaden and Brody’s father) was charging hard and putting in solid laps. Without re-

super Mini winner Jaden smith.

Four Miles of Adrenaline Elkhart lake, WI - June 6 By Gordon and Laurel Lunde

oad America, it’s been 31 years since I first rode through gate one at this place. The first ever motorcycle race at Road America was held on the first weekend in June in 1980. The AMA Pro road races were actually coming to a track only an hour from my home in Milwaukee! The locals and police thought the Hell’s Angels were coming to town. I think nearly every police officer from five counties surrounding the track were there to save the women and children of Elkhart Lake. Nothing could be further from the truth as they soon found out. The spectators and racers were friendly, courteous and well behaved. Over the years the motorcycle riders, racers and spectators have proven to be a boon to the local economy, and the locals invite them back each year. I have accepted that invitation every year since. I have been to every motorcycle race ever held at RA since 1980. Let’s take a tour... The track itself is big, four miles, the longest track in the country. It is lush, green beyond belief, as one Georgia racer’s mother exclaimed a few years ago. The track winds its way through the facility with great elevation changes, tight corners and long straightaways. It is a challenging course to the well trained professional as well as the rookie racers trying their luck in amateur events. Fourteen corners complete this circuit from the tight “Kink” to the sweeping “Carousel” with “Thunder Valley”, “Kettle Bottoms”, Canada Corner” and “Hurry Downs” stretched out between them all. It is a glorious track with a long history of great racing from the days of Eddie Lawson, Freddie Spencer and Bubba Shobert to the 42

current fast guys Josh Hays and Blake Young. The atmosphere is pure adrenaline in the paddock. Racers prepping their gear, mechanics dialing in the machines for optimum performance and officials making sure everything is running smooth. The sights, sounds and smells of high horsepower racing machines. The open paddock at Road America lets the spectators get up close and personal with the racers and equipment. Often the racers are out and available for autographs and to pose for that once in a lifetime photo with your racing hero. During lunch this year there were drag racers and stunt riders doing exhibitions on the front straight. Then there is the “Pit

Walk” where you can get an even closer look at the bikes and racers lined up along the hot pit again available for pictures and autographs. For a small fee you can even join in the Salute to Cycles tour of the track on your own machine. Around the grounds you will find many areas set aside for camping and spectating, some combined, where you can pitch your tent or park your motor home and wake up to bikes screaming past as your alarm clock. Love the smell of high octane in the morning! This year there was a large American Indian teepee set up near the back straight. Someone was showing their ancestry in a unique way. As for track transportation… it is a long

getting up close in the open pits is great.

way around the place and you just have to have something to “wow” the other spectators. As you travel from one viewing area to another. If you can name it you’ll probably see it somewhere on one of the many roads around the race circuit itself. From the pit scooters to custom made “choppers” with car engines and seats for four, antiques, junkers and even a few Lamborghinis and Ferraris show up to tour the track back roads. And if you don’t want to hassle with traffic, just hop on one of the many track shuttles to get you around. They’re free and will drop you off anywhere you like. The food stands at RA are some of the best in the country. As you’re touring the grounds past the different concessions you catch the smells of brats, burgers, “walking tacos” and more. Great food and cold refreshments are always close by your favorite viewing area. Go ahead, eat yourself silly, they’ll make more. Oh yeah, and when you’re not eating, drinking, watching the parade of neat spectator vehicles or sniffing too much race fuel, you may actually catch a glimpse of the guys on the track. This year, local favorite Blake Young from Kewaunee, WI was the best of the best on Saturday

in the Superbike class and took another podium finish on Sunday. Josh Hayes took the win in Sunday’s race. In Sportbike (600cc) competition Josh Herrin from Georgia took the double win boosting him into the points lead. And what is a race in Wisconsin without the Harley Davidson XR1200 class? Chris Filmore beat Danny Eslick for the top spot in this event. The top seven riders were less than one second apart at the finish. Now that’s good, close racing! Travis Wyman took his first victory of the year in Supersport a full four seconds ahead of runner up Dustin Dominguez in race two. David Gaviria won race one.

Carlson clicks at Millville Millville, Minnesota - May 29, 30 By Rolfe Otterness

rounded out the top five. Moto two started out much the same with Adamson and Hempen running out front. Adamson maintained control for the win with Hempen keeping it on two wheels this time for second. Johnson, Strege and Charles Anderson trailed him in at the flag. Homegrown talent shined strongly in the Open B class as Jeremy Martin ran off with the win in both motos. He really handles an open bike well for someone who weighs about a buck and a quarter, no doubt a threat

alton Carlson was clicking off the wins as the Spring Creek Park gang cranked out rounds 3 and 4 of the 2011 Super Series. Carlson has picked up support from KTM through Larson’s Cycle, and was flying on the pumpkin-colored bikes, winning three A classes on Sunday and two more Monday. Nick Jackson did his best to hold Carlson back in a few motos, but Carlson proved to be too strong. Jackson did get to take home the gold in Open A on Monday, uncontested when Carlson fried a clutch or some such component on his bike. Henry Miller looked strong in the 14-24B and 125 two stroke classes, taking both on Sunday and running second in the 14-24 class behind Jeremy Martin on Monday. Martin, as expected, was unstoppable in his classes. The track for this weekend was in very good shape with the weather finally being somewhat tolerable and rain-free for a change. There were around 600 entries for Sunday with a slight drop from that on Monday. Sunday: Jackson, after an all night drive back from Texas where he narrowly missed qualifying for the pro national event, grabbed the start of the first 14-24A class moto. Carlson and Jeremy Hullett dropped into pursuit as they pounded into the sand whoops. Carlson latched onto the rear fender of Jackson and they circulated in a tight battle for the first three laps. Carlson made his move and took the lead, but Jackson stayed right on him until just a few turns from the flag. Joe Perron moved up nicely during the last few laps to grab third with a good dice Dalton Carlson leads brewing over fourth between Bob Nick Jackson in the 14-24A class.

Janovsky kept up it on two wheels to take second this time out with Tilford, Strom and Milas following him through. In the Open A class Nick Jackson was quick to jump out front in both motos and then start to gap the field. With Carlson out due to equipment failure, Joe Perron did his best to hang with Jackson, but couldn’t quite match pace. Regardless, he still had a strong ride to finish second in both motos over Ryan Orres. Running 4-4 and 5-5 were Jeremy Hullett and Josh Sorensen. Jessica Hadler and Cloe Spaeth sped off from the pack in the Women’s class. Hadler had just enough of an edge to pull a couple of seconds on Spaeth by the end of the first moto. Shayanna Wilson and Jacqueline Riess led Claire Cripps as the top five finished moto one. Hadler displaced a holeshotting Spaeth early in moto two and went on to win by about 4 or 5 seconds in a solid ride. Wilson and Reiss once again trailed Spaeth to the flag but Cripps did not start, and Lizz Turney grabbed fifth. sunday Results: 50cc 4-6: 1.Jayden Clough 2.Mccrae Hagarty 50cc 7-8: 1.Gavin Janovsky 2.Dillon Nelson 3.Gavin Tilford 4.Torsten Strom 5.Weston Milas 50 Inj 4-8: 1.Dillon Nelson 2.Trevin Nelson 3.James Clough 4.Colin Zygmuntowski 5.Mccrae Hagarty 50 Multi 4-8: 1.Trevin Nelson 2.Colin Zygmuntowski 3.Jevaun Nygren 4.Bryce Rauner 65cc 7-9: 1.Joshua Boaz 2.Aaron Boatman 3.Max Earley 4.Cade Marten 5.Kaden Degenhardt 65cc 10-11: 1.Travis Frias 2.Alex Ingalls 3.Dalton Hein 4.Peter Paddock 5.Brandon Mcnamara 65cc 7-11: 1.Joshua Boaz 2.Alex Ingalls 3.Travis Frias 4.Aaron Boatman 5.Dalton Hein 85cc 9-11: 1.Mateo Johnson 2.Garret Strege 3.Alex Ingalls 4.Travis Frias 5.Devin Stang 85cc 12-15: 1.Jerry Robin 2.Josiah Hempen 3.Nick Schnagl 4.Nolan Heppner 5.Benjamin Adamson 85cc 9-12: 1.Benjamin Adamson 2.Mateo Johnson 3.Luke Hempen 4.Garret Strege 5.Charles Anderson supermini: 1.Josiah Hempen 2.Nick Schnagl 3.Kyle Lawler 4.Nolan Heppner 5.Blaze Best schlby 12-16: 1.Keenan Strom 2.Dylan Wolff 3.Dillon Carlson 4.Ben Ferrin 5.Nick Schnagl Jr 14-16: 1.Keenan Strom 2.Kurtis Endres 3.Tanner Oetting 4.Coby Ockenga 5.Adam Maxfield 14-24A: 1.Dalton Carlson 2.Nicholas Jackson 3.Robert Droher 4.Joe Perron 5.Ryan Orres 14-24B: 1.Henry Miller 2.Tanner Oetting 3.Jackson Exner 4.Cody Slark 5.Daniel Robin 14-24C: 1.Douglas Oetting 2.Wyatt Krampitz

Megacross hits a Grand Slam Mendota, Illinois - June 11 By Dave Henry Photos by Brett Wilkinson

n baseball, if you started your season 2 for 5, you'd have a .400 average and be very happy. In motocross, starting off with 3 of your first 5 events canceled due to rain is terrible. That wasn't about to stop team Megacross, as the race on June 11th was a major hit. Well over 300 entries lined up to compete for some of the best cash and plaques in the area, and the racing was some of the best witnessed in years. The grand slam of the night was the 250B main. For most of the race, you could throw a blanket over the top five] racers at any time. Jumping out in front with the holeshot was Erik Utech on his Yamaha, followed closely by Kyle Entwistle on his RCR Kawasaki and Jody Walker in third. Walker made a pass on Entwistle for second, and then into the lead. Kyler Hyde jumped into the mix as well. Utech and Hyde collided and Entwistle took advantage of the situation moving into second place as the white flag came out. Kyle Nelson on his Suzuki joined the parade in fifth. Walker and Entwistle came across the announcers tower table top side by side and into the next right hand bowl turn Walker went low and Entwistle high. The extra speed that Entwistle carried out of the corner set him up to dive to the inside of the final corner. As they came out, Entwistle and Walker were side by side again, but Entwistle got a better drive up the face of the finish line jump and took the win. Hyde snuck in for third over Utech. WOW, what a race!! Another hit for the night was the 125 main with 17 screaming two-strokes doing battle. The holeshot was too close to call, with Kyle White and Tony Spizzirri neck and neck. As they completed lap one White was

building a nice lead, but the battle for second was on. Spizzirri, Connor Robinson, Matt Mellott and Robbie Hyson came across very close. As the white flag came out White was long gone, but Spizzirri and Robinson were still neck and neck for second. Coming into the last few jumps of the track, it appeared that Spizzirri's arms might be giving away, as he bobbled and Robinson pounced on the opportunity. At the finish, it was White followed by Robinson and Spizzirri. It was a great showing for all of the riders. The A classes are always stacked at Megacross because of their great payout, and the 250A class tonight was fantastic. Jumping out to the lead with a massive holeshot was Kevin Markwardt on his White Knuckle, RG3, one shot backed Honda, with Tommy Hofmaster on his YZ 2 stroke, Iowa hot shoe Kurt McCabe and Brandon Pope on his Yamaha in tow. The first lap saw a great battle between Markwardt and Hofmaster, with McCabe closing in. Hofmaster led lap two, with McCabe closing in even more. On lap three, McCabe got around Markwardt for second and set his sights on Hofmaster. As the white flag came out, two bike lengths separated McCabe and Hofmaster. As they came into the infield whoops McCabe was able to pull

even with Hofmaster and attempt a block pass in the next right hander. Hofmaster denied the pass and the two went over the next tabletop side by side. This great battle continued back and forth through the next bowl turn and last tabletop at the announcerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stand. As the two came through the last switch back towards the finish line, it was Hofmaster holding off McCabe for the win. Markwardt finished third, with Pope in fourth. The 250A race set the expectation for a great Open A battle as well. Only this time, the results would be slightly different. Kevin Markwardt had his holeshots dialed in and was again into the lead, followed by Hofmaster, this time on a YZ450, McCabe and Jonathan Six. On lap two Markwardt threw it away in a turn and fell to seventh. The next few laps the top four stayed the same with Hofmaster leading McCabe, Six and Justin Kelly. As the laps started to wind down, McCabe was putting on a charge and catching Hofmaster. As they came around the corner to take the white flag, McCabe got around Hofmaster to take the lead. In the end, McCabe on his Honda took a two second win over Hofmaster, with Six in third, Kelly fourth and Markwardt back up to fifth. The 250C class had a full gate and Kody Smith on his Honda grabbed the holeshot and led wire to wire for the win. Jake Cinkus came across the line in second and Lucas Hayes rounded out the podium. Another class that is always highly competitive at Megacross is +30B/C. Several top riders from last year have moved on to other classes, but they have been replaced with newly turned 30 year old riders ready to do battle. Grabbing the holeshot was +40 stock car driver turned Motocrosser Anthony Bartemio. Following him closely on the start CYCLE USA, July 2011

was newcomers Jessie Keith, Brandon Boggio and Ryan George. On the back straightaway consisting of what long time announcer Bill Holt calls the "double, double, step-up", Keith rode past Bartemio for the lead. After that pass, the top five stayed in check for the rest of the race. At the checkers, it was Keith, followed by Bartemio, Boggio, George and Brian Goodin. One of Loretta Lynns favorites, Chase Sexton (486) took double class wins in convincing fashion in the 85Jr and 85 9-13 classes. Kevin Huddleston (244) was a double class winner in 50 4-8 and 50Jr. as was Joe Quest in 50Sr and 65 Beginner. In the end, the racing was fantastic, as it always is at Megacross.

Reek delivers at Crystal Falls Crystal Falls, Michigan - June 11/12 By Pete Emme

ound 2 of the Northern Route Series was in full swing at Valley Raceway in the rolling hills of Crystal Falls, Michigan. Nearly 400 entries were on hand for the double header that featured plenty of contingency from various manufacturers and some extra loot in the A classes. Marinette, Wisconsin’s Adam Reek recently made the step up to the A class in District 16 and was nervous in doing so. Reek, who had won plenty of B class events during the 2009 and 2010 seasons, took the bold move and finished fifth in a Pro-Am moto at Pine Ridge a few weeks earlier proving that he could be a front runner in the premier divisions. Reek decided to give it a go for two days at Crystal Falls. In the first 250A moto during Saturday’s action, Reek had his YZ250 cranking nabbing the holeshot in front of the Hunter Nystrom and Eric Palosaari. Nystrom made a mistake in the final corner before the first lap came to an end sending the youngster to the ground. Nathen LaPorte suffered a poor start but was soon in fifth behind Ryan Gilbert and John Vandezande. Going into the third lap, the Port Yamaha rider LaPorte made his way into second over Palosaari. Reek took the first moto win well ahead of LaPorte. Finishing third was Gilbert followed by Vandezande and Marshall Maas. “I just lined up on the outside, and I pulled the holeshot and I kept it going and I tried to keep a good pace,” said Reek. “Once Nystrom went down, I knew I had some breathing room and I put it on cruise to the finish.” Reek pulled another holeshot in the second moto ahead of Palosaari and LaPorte. Dicing it up in the fourth spot was Gilbert and Marshall Maas. By the end of the second lap LaPorte was all over Reek, cutting a second off each lap in the process. Reek turned it up a notch to seal the deal for the young Yamaha rider and his first overall win in 250A, winning back to back motos. “I got a poor start in the first moto and moved through the pack but it was too late as Adam was riding really well,” second place LaPorte said. “In the second moto it took me a lap to get into the second spot. Eventually I pulled him back in and was charging until I hit a rock and my front end washed out giving up hope of catching him.” In Open A it was the Kawasaki 450 of Adam Reek out to the lead with Hunter Nystrom in second. LaPorte was in fourth, trying to get around KTM rider Ryan Gilbert. Reek moved out to a comfortable lead and then

found LaPorte in the second spot with two laps remaining. The second moto had Nystrom to the inside with LaPorte to the outside. Reek missed a shift while on the gate sending him to the back of the pack early on. LaPorte cruised the win and the overall via 2-1 tallies. Finishing in the second spot overall was Nystrom with 3-2 scores while Reek garnished a third overall with his 1-4 scores. In 85Sr it was the KTM of Jack Hendrick taking the holeshot with Dennis Ponton and Hunter Sayles in tow. Hendrick slipped back to third while Sayles battled with Ponton at the point. Sayles managed to run up front to take the first moto win. Finishing in the runner up spot was Ponton with Hendrick, John Boivin and Anton Kerscher rounding out the top five. Ponton topped them all in the second and

Adam Reek was on fire in the A classes.

decisive moto, garnishing top honors as he went 2-1 for the overall. Sayles kept second overall as Boivin went 4-3 for third. In 450B it was Kyle Koosmann getting out front ahead of Aaron Horack. The Suzuki rider of Jacob Vaness was moving through the pack trying to gain positions. Vaness laid it down after the double - double, then fell again to finish in 16th. Koosmann took the big moto win. Koosmann proved to the others in the Open B division that he is for real. He took the second moto win as well going 1-1 for the overall. Tyler Stoll rode to consistent scores of 2-2 for the runner up spot as Seth Fuller went 3-5 for third. “We had a better plan for the second moto and I slipped the clutch out a little easier off the line to get a better start and it worked,” said Koosmann. Sunday’s racing brought out Legendary

Lee Heckendorf to the 250B and Open B divisions. Why, you might ask. To show his kid off and how to ride a two stroke. Keep in mind, his son, Justis, is one of the fastest B riders in Wisconsin. Justis usually finds himself in the top two spots week in and week out, especially in the sand. Lee hasn’t raced the B class in nearly 20 years and is usually dicing it out in +40. Lee who is 43, was not afraid of the youngsters and used his brash attitude and no holds barred two stroke to almost capture the first moto holeshot of 250B. That went to David Watzka, but he was soon displaced by Heckendorf in the rhythm section. His son, Justis, had went down right after the start. Lee held the lead for the first lap but was displaced by Watzka. As Lee had slipped back, Watzka took the win with AJ Woller in second and Koosmann third. “I don’t know who passed me, but I good jump out of the gate, like I knew I would, and was in second,” said Heckendorf. “From there, I really don’t know what happened but I finished fifth!” “I got a good start and pulled the holeshot but was passed, but I got him back at the end of the first lap and ending up taking the win,” said Watzka. Woller had his KTM pinned through the first corner with Koosmann hot on his heels in the second moto. Watzka got tangled on the start sending him and his Kawasaki to the ground hard well before the first corner. Woller got passed by Koosmann on the final corner of lap three as Woller over shot the berm. Lee Heckendorf worked his way through the pack and was tangling with his son, Justis. Justis soon got around Pops and into the fourth spot. Koosmann moved out to the lead as Woller exited the track. Marcus Markee moved into second with Justis Heckendorf chasing him as Koosmann took the win with Markee in a well deserved second and second overall via 4-2 tallies. Koosmann, who kept it up, went 3-1 for the overall. Adam Reek poured it on once again in the A class. Adam went 2-1 in the 250A class and backed it up in the Open A class with 2-2 tallies for first overall. Reek captured three out of four overall wins in the A class and is definitely a contender. Wisconsin is starting to produce some good up and coming young talent, and that includes Reek, LaPorte, Nystrom among others.

Cipala tops at Kato Hill Climb Mankato, Minnesota - June 12 By Mike Nelson

ogan Cipala’s win in the King of the Hill challenge gave him a triple for the day at the Kato Cycle Club’s hillclimb. Cipala wasn’t leading any of his classes after a rainy slick first round, but really stepped it up as things dried out in the afternoon. Cipala’s first win came in the 200cc class by just a tenth of a second over the reigning National Champ in the class, Dylan Nichols. With the sun shining and fast times dropping under six and a half seconds, Cipala earned his way into the 80-Open with a second run time of just over 6.2 seconds to take the 600cc class win over first round leaders Brent Stevenson and his dad, Todd. Cipala backed all that up with a close second place finish on his 250cc ride. Logan wasn’t the only Cipala to take home some big hardware. Younger brother Luke brought home a first place trophy for the Mini Jr. class along with a nice third place in the 65cc class, leaving their dad Todd in the dust

with a 5th in the 600cc class and 6th in the 80-Open. A light drizzle to moderate rain fell through most of the first round of competition, but it didn’t dampen the spirits of the riders. They were ready to compete, and as long as the hill crew could negotiate the hill face, they wanted to run. The wet conditions really took their toll on the mini classes with only a few of the best young riders able to find their way over the top on their first runs. In the Micro-Mini class none of the riders were able to make the top in the morning drizzle, but by the time they were ready for their second runs, the rain had quit. The hill was still fairly slick and ate up most of these youngsters before they could make it to the final breaker, but Leigha Grussendorf managed to hang on to her newly decked out pink machine as she picked her way up the hill and over the breaker sliding sideways back and forth across the entire hill face as the crowd cheered her on. Working hard the whole way she stuck her

front tire into the wall on the right side of the hill just past the lights with a time of a little over 18 seconds for her first ever trip over the top in a competition. Veteran Micro rider Bodee O’Neil pulled up to the line a few riders later and with a handful of throttle, he leaned hard into the corner and pointed his machine up the hill on a smooth line that earned him his first ever win, with a time of just over 11 seconds. After first round action, current National and District Champ Andy Eichinger was on top of the 125cc class by nearly half a second, but with the rain gone times were coming down drastically. Eichinger had improved on his first run and was in the

lead when the final rider of the class took the hill. Logan Peterson shot out of the hole like a man on a mission and hit the sweet line around the corner to fly up and over the top for the win in the class by nearly 2 tenths of a second. Eichinger wasn’t the only champion that Peterson would pick on before the climb was done. Peterson was well back in the field after the first round of 450cc climbing but he snatched the win over current National and District champion Aaron Prebe and Prebe’s brother Jacob with a time that would qualify him third of the top ten for King of the Hill where he finished eighth in the field of mostly bigger machines. Peterson also pulled down a nice third

place finish in the very competitive 4-Stroke class behind Luke Parmeter and Alex Gerdes. A couple of other guys put up really nice performances worth mentioning. Zach Diercks put up a great run on his ATV to take the win from district champ Tyler Clark, and Jason Laven scored a nice win on his home hill in Mini Sr. Thanks to the Kato Cycle Club for all their hard work behind the scenes and to all the guys that worked the slick and muddy hill during the mini classes to keep all the young riders safe.

Aulseybrook romps at Sunset Walnut, Illinois - May 28 By Missi Thede

f we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had enough of the weather here lately, this weekend was more of the same. Below normal temps and cloudy, windy conditions led to a pretty brisk day out on the track with periods of off again - on again sprinkles and light rain. There was an occasional peek of sunshine, here and there as well. Up side to all this, the track held up extremely well all day and the riders had only one thing on their mind, racing, and of course qualifying for Ponca. This was a D17 points event as well as a great chance to get ready for the upcoming Loretta Lynn Regional. A big opening day despite the weather for all involved. The 250A class shared a double gate drop with the 250B class. With ten riders on the gate they jumped off the line and kept it a very tight around turn one with Brandon Pope, Daniel Aulseybrook and Mason Eck leading off the first table top. Pope kept up front over the camel hump with Aulseybrook and Tyler Duncan now running third after passing Eck. Aulseybrook really put the heat on Pope throughout the second lap as Zach Coons moved up to third. Aulseybrook made his way to the lead position and then opened up a gap through the sweeper as Pope did his best to

make his gains with Coons right behind him. Jonathan Six was also on the move and in hot pursuit after moving up to fourth behind Coons and they finished in that order. Second moto saw Aulseybrook carry the lead with Pope and Six battling for second as Jordan Ihle joined the mix. Six stayed in second with Coons moving right up on his tail now in third, wanting second place as Ihle locked into fourth. The next lap Coons got his second place rites as Pope fought back to fourth. The 85Sr class came off the gate with a great start by Sean Miller leading the way around the first corner before Alexander Nagy made the pass to take the lead. Channing Hunt and Logan Skaggs battled for third before the camel hump with Jamison Duclos close behind. Duclos soon passed Hunt for third. With the rain coming down, Nagy and Miller were running a close race with only a bike length behind them. Skaggs made his way to the fourth spot past Hunt. Nagy took the win with Miller, Duclos and Skaggs following. In the second moto Nagy took the lead again ahead of Miller and Hunt. Duclos picked up where he left off and quickly got ahead of Hunt to set the final order. Nagy took the overall with Miller, Duclos, and Skaggs filling the top four.

Stoney Scrambles Columbus, Indiana - June 19 By David Dunnuck Photos by Cheryl Dunnuck

toney Lonesome MC held the ninth round of the D15 Series near Columbus at the notorious club property. The club once again had prepared the courses avoiding the highly technical sections of the property in anticipation of wet conditions. As those that attended the event know, little could be done to prepare for the weather and rainfall that the property experienced the night before and the morning of the race. With severe storms and heavy lightening activity, the races were delayed for thirty minutes. The PeeWee race course was confined to the highest section of the property near the parking area. With the all clear from the race officials, the PeeWee racers took the green flag and were working their way around the very slick conditions. Two laps into the race, lightening was once again spotted and the red flag was shown and all participants and spectators were advised to seek shelter. After the second delay and a check of the radar, the events were once again started. The conditions took a toll on several of the little bikes causing sputtering and mis-firing. Pre Mix rider Ethan Sowder had no such problem resulting in a dominating performance. Brody Smith appeared to have no problem with the conditions and put his Honda on top of the Injector class podium. The Mini race started with thirty-one riders all wondering what they were about to encounter. It was announced at the riders meeting that sections of the course had been changed due to the conditions. Colton Wilkes

50cc racer garrett Mundy.

took off with the waving of the green flag and led every lap of the race in the SuperMini class. Vincent Smith challenged early in the race, but never provided a significant threat to Wilkes desire to win the overall. 85cc rider, Eric Douglass, was the third rider into the woods, but immediately took over the class lead and set his sights on the front running Super mini riders. Douglass worked his way through all the super mini riders with the exception of Wilkes. Douglass stopped on the last lap for a fresh set of goggles not realizing how close he was to moving into the overall lead (time adjusted) of the mini race. In the end, Douglass fell eleven seconds short of taking his first ever overall victory. The 65cc race was dominated by Cameron Lee. The Big Bike course consisted of 5.3 miles of existing trails with quite a bit of new ground prepared by clearing significant downfall. With the weather, the field only contained seventy riders, all hoping for the holeshot and clean vision. Of those, only four riders eventually finished six laps in the very difficult conditions. Lap one saw Anthony Wagler lead the overall (time adjusted), turning a 13:55 lap. Jeff Cregg, first through the check and second overall, came through the checkpoint trailing by two seconds. Nathan Sullivan was looking good cruising through the checkpoint with only 0:19 separating him and Daniel Sims riding in the number four position. Fifth place overall at the end of the first lap was Heavy B rider Luke Chilman. Cregg was cruising in the lead at the end of lap three, and opening the lead on the second place rider Wagler. Sulli-

van was displaying true grit on the course, ripping through the checkpoint in third place while Sims held onto fourth. Andy Cregg kept a cool head and staked a claim on the number five spot, but with a 1:59 disadvantage. At the white flag lap, Sims had moved into third as Wagler slipped to fourth and Chris Jewel entered the scene now running in the fifth. Jeff Cregg took the checkered in what could be described as the most challenging conditions seen by these riders at Stoney Lonesome. Sullivan rolled through the checkpoint in second followed by Sims. Finishing in fourth, Wagler looked exhausted.

Fortner perfect at Neoga Neoga, Illinois - June 11-12 By Bud Northrup

ared McKay was the fastest rider at the Saturday night version of the Central Illinois M/C’s weekend doubleheader hill climbs. McKay crashed his KX500 on his first ride, but recovered to post a high flying 2.803 second time on his second ride to take the class win and the Fast Time award. His ride was barely enough for the Fast Time, as Cody Jenner had just carded a 2.805 second time in the previous class on his Honda CRF450. Josh Shoup was second behind McKay with Mike Sarver third in the 600cc class. Matt Peters was second behind Jenner with Shoup third in the 450cc class. Paul Hillard was the only double class winner, winning the 750cc class with Mike Sarver second. Hillard crashed on his first ride, so had to come from behind with a 3.596 second time on his Kawasaki triple, with Sarver close with a 3.628 second first round time on his Kawasaki four banger. Sarver crashed his Kaw on his second round trying to retake the class lead. Hillard took the first round lead in the 2stroke Quad class with a 3.585 second time, but saw Chad Bowyer slip under that in the second round. Hillard responded with a much faster 3.271 second time on his second ride to claim a convincing win. Dakota Watson claimed the Youth Fast Time award for the third straight time, posting a 3.429 second run in the 85Jr class, with Levi Peters second. In other youth action, Ronnie Bennett was the 50cc class winner with Ian Brown second, Derick Bell was the 65cc class winner with Levi Peters second, and Jacob Bell was the fastest of the 85Sr riders with Clayton Hirsch second. Andy Fortner put on a hill climb clinic Sunday as he recorded the very rare perfect day, winning all three classes he entered as well as claiming the Fast Time award. Fortner flew his CR500 over the top on his first ride in 2.607 seconds in the large and always fast 600cc class. This time held up for the both the class win and Fast Time award. Jake Tackitt was second in 2.672 seconds with Matt Peters third. Fortner returned with his hot Honda in the +40 class and nailed a 2.732 second time on his first ride, which also held up. Jon Creek was second in 2.885 seconds and Mike Pulver third. Fortner repeated his one run performance in the 400cc Stock class, where his first round time on his CR250 went unbeaten in both rounds. Cody Jenner and Paul Hillard were both double class winners. Jenner rode his 58

CRF450 thumper to the class win in the 450cc class with a 2.830 second run in the second half, overtaking Matt Peters and Ian Dukes who had posted the best times in the first round. Jenner brought his Honda back in the 600cc 4-stroke class, and again came from behind to take the win. Bobby Senn had posted the first round best time of 3.160 seconds on his Honda, but Jenner responded with a very quick 2.726 run to take the class lead. Senn improved on his first ride also, but his 2.765 effort wasn’t quite fast enough, and he settled for second. Dan Groth claimed third. Paul Hillard came from behind to overtake Mike Sarver in the second round to win the 750cc class on his Kawasaki Triple. Hillard’s 3.303 second first run time in the 2stroke Quad class was good enough for that win with Don Richardson second. Brodie Bennett took the 50cc class win with Alivia Young second, Levi Peters claimed the 65cc class win with Jon Brian second, and Clay Bowyer won the 85Sr class with Clayton Hirsch second. saturday Results: 50cc: 1.Ronnie Bennett 2.Ian Brown 3.Blake Bowyer 4.Jaydn Aliprandini 5.Checotah Benifiel. 65cc: 1.Derick Bell 2.Levi Peters 3.Charles Helfrich 4.Andrew Fortner 5.Jaydn Aliprandini 85Jr: 1.Dakota Watson 2.Levi Peters 3.Andrew Fortner 4.Derick Bell 5.Reece Hutton. 85sr: 1.Jacob Bell 2.Clayton Hirsch 3.Clay Bowyer. 125cc: 1.Niko Roark 2.Blair Lawson. 200cc: 1.Kyle Galloway 2.Jake Tackitt 3.Shay Ashworth 4.Austin Shutt 5.Brian Shutt. 250cc: 1.Matt Peters 2.Joe McGurer 3.Kodi Harnish 4.Jon Creek 5.Marty Steinacher. 450cc: 1.Cody Jenner 2.Matt Peters 3.Josh Shoup 4.Dan Groth 5.Bobby Senn. 600cc: 1.Jared McKay 2.Josh Shoup 3.Mike Sarver 4.Andy Fortner 5.Kyle Galloway. 600 4st: 1.Josh Shoup 2.Kirk Gorsuch 3.Bobby Senn 4.Dan Groth 5.Andrew Groth. 750cc: 1.Paul Hillard 2.Mike Sarver.

Season opener by Beaver Cycle Atwater, Wisconsin - May 15 By Hannah Lange Photos by Kevin Heussner

It would have been nice to get in both days of racing... but the way this season is going, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just have to be happy to have one good one, and hope for more soon.

he opening weekend of dirt track racing was held by the Beaver Cycle Club in Atwater, WI. We were all a little disappointed in mother nature as she decided to force a cancelation of the Saturday night short track. The damp and unseasonably cold weather brought a low rider count in most classes on Sunday for the TT.

The Vet riders going towards the track hairpin.

Dustin Hoffman enjoying his lead in Open A.

New this year is the combined 125-250 class. With the holeshot was Patrick Stempar, from Port Washington and Keegan Fitzgerald, from Burnett, side by side into turn one. As they raced for the first place position, Stempar slid out in the hairpin and lost some ground. Fitzgerald went to the win. Running hard for the next best position was Morgen Mischler and Alexia Hoffmann, both from Beaver Dam. Trying to catch Hoffmann was Charlotte Kainz, of Milwaukee. Hoffmann pulled through over Kainz. It was a delight to watch these youngsters in the 50cc 4-Stroke challenge each other in the five lap main event. Brady Lange hopped out front right away and stood his ground, but the real race to watch was between Loyal Prach and Trevor Infalt. They went back and forth, side by side for the entire race. Through the hairpin corner on the last lap, Infalt found the inside of Prach and snuck by to take the second place position. Ronald Bean started with the holeshot in the Twins/ Vintage class. Following close behind was Ian Steen, who quickly took the lead. Challenging Bean next was Mark Martinich looking to move up to second before the hairpin got him, causing him to drop back a couple spots. Fighting hard the last lap for the third position was Mike Schelter and Robert Reese. As the checkered dropped it was Steen,

Bean and Schelter. The Senior class brought a good amount of riders. Terry Vestal had the holeshot and stayed out front the entire time. Fighting for second was John Altmann, Patrick Ryder, and Tom Hochmuth as they ran side by side in a pack for the whole race. Finding an opportunity, Ryder snuck up to take the position. Staying close together in another pack was Mike Yogerst, Brendan Grasser, and Mark Martinich battling each other. Starting off the Open Quad B class with the lead was Tyler Henning. These riders ran hard; slipping, sliding, and spinning out the entire time and delivered an exciting race. Battling it out for the top spot was Henning and Kyle Jirousek. Another good scuffle to watch was for third place between Dave Bower and Brett Durant. With the holeshot in the Open Quad A class was Dustin Hoffman, from Wisconsin Rapids. Hoffman, Rob Reitz, and Jacob Foti all fought hard trying to find the lead. Hoffman ran solid out front, there was another hard battle between Dj Slosser and Chuck Calvert. Going back and forth, Slosser also uses the inside line in the hairpin to make a pass and come out in front of Calvert for fifth.

New look at Sugar Maple Hillpoint, Wisconsin - June 18 By Dave Hollub

iders that came out in 2010 for the Sugar Maple MX races were blown away by the great layout and conditions so when they heard the track was all revamped many wondered how it could be better. Jason Erdmann has been working all spring putting in new sections and making sure everything is safe, but still provides exciting racing. The word was getting out from open practices that this layout was the best many have seen. Then the weatherman threw a wrench into the works talking about severe storms late in the week and into the weekend. When the sign-up was complete there were 146 entire that ignored the weathermen (they are wrong more than not) looking out onto a perfectly prepped track on a warm sunny day. The Quads headed out for the first gate drop and Quad B rider Brett Beier grabbed the first holeshot of 2011. It didn’t take long before A rider Jay Mittelstaedt recouped from the start and was out front. Mittelstaedt won both motos with Beier close behind. In the Quad C class Michael Nelson led the early laps but in both motos Nicholas Kvigne was able to finish out front and take the overall. 50cc classes use the big bike start gates and then heads off onto their own track so by the time they hit the holeshot they are screaming from a full throttle twist. Jackson Oehlhof went 1/1 to edge out Keynan Miller for the 50Jr overall. In 50Sr the top three today were Wyatt Liebeck (1/1), Joseph Vitullo (2/2), and Justin Oehlhof (3/3). First in the gate for big bikes was the 125Jr. class, and by the time they came around the corner Kyran Horkan was out front with Keegan Cummins right behind. Horkan and Cummins were bar to bar as they hit the ski Jump into valley two. Cummins carried the momentum up the next hill to slip past into the lead, and once out front Cummins put some breathing room behind him for the rest of the moto. Now Horkan had pressure from Austin Nelson as they were wheel to wheel to the finish. Eliah Norman moved up from a fifth place start to also get a wheel into the battle for second but Horkan held on all the way to the checkers. The moto two holeshot went to Nelson but by the time they slipped into the first valley section both Horkan and Cummins had gotten out front. Horkan bobbled and Cummins took the lead. When 250A took the gate drop everyone was going to see just how fast this track can be run as Jason Erdmann used his intimate knowledge of the lines to jump out into a big lead. For those in position to see the ski jump into valley two, many dropped their jaws as Erdmann got completely sideways whipping his bike and then freefell almost to the bottom before straightening out to land. While Erdmann was putting on a show the real battle was going on for the second position. Tony Kutzler was leading with Dylan Narel, Dale Kathan, and Cody Fredrick all close enough to throw a blanket over them. Narel was able to slip past on lap two in the rollers and then by lap five both

Kathan and Fredrick also got by. Fredrick stayed on Kathan’s rear tire until finally on the final trip through Hollub’s Hollow he made the pass. Moto two once again had Erdmann jumping out front but this time the rest of the class had dialed in some fast lines and despite trying hard he couldn’t check out on them. Narel was able to hold off challenges from Dale Kathan all moto to take the checkers in second while Kutzler edged Fredrick out for fourth. Narel was happy with his day as he later said “Open A went pretty good today, I took first in moto one after a second place start. In moto two I got the holeshot and just kind of ran my own pace to the end. 250A went pretty good; it was against Jason Erdmann who had a bit of the home track advantage. It still went good, I got second by going 2/2. The track is really fun. The changes, I think, were way better a real positive. The track held up well despite starting to dry up a little by the end of the day. It seemed like it got the perfect ruts early in the day and stayed that way all day. I’d like to thank Johnson Sales Yamaha, CMJ Raceway, my parents, and my sister.” Ted Coplien Jr. was out front as the +30B/C class came into the Daytona corner and stayed there to the checkers. While Coplien was riding his pace out front Brandon Yanke was holding off Brian Terry’s challenges to take away second. On lap three Jeff Ramsay got by Terry. In moto Terry was out front after ripping the holeshot on his Husqvarna but Coplien slipped past before they headed into the first valley section. Terry was next challenged by Yanke and by the midway point of lap two Yanke had made a pass stick to take over second. Ramsay also got by Terry before the lap ended. Now Terry was locked into a bar to bar battle with Tim Hytry that saw them change positions several Doug Forstner won the +40 class.

times in lap three. Their battle culminated when they both hit a left hand sweeper side by side just inches apart. As they came out of the corner Terry had the edge and held onto fourth to the finish. Kyle Kilday had a perfect day as he won four motos on his way to the overalls in both 250C and Open C. “Early in the morning I just got sick and tired of not doing good so I just decided I was going to go for it. I went for it all day and I ended up on top. I got the first two holeshots today then the second one in Open C was ok. In that moto I came back from fourth to win. The track was great today, not that it wasn’t last year but it is so much better now. It held up good.” In Sportsman B/C Tyler Stoll grabbed the moto one holeshot but Billy Menzel took over the lead in the rollers. Stoll tried every line he could to hold second but eventually Jason Barnhardt got by late in lap two. This order held to the finish despite some hard riding by everyone on the track. In moto two Barnhardt jumped into the lead right away but had Ceithamer and Bobby Vitullo right on his rear wheel. When Vitullo bobbled Stoll was able to slip by into second and soon after Menzel worked his way around Vitullo also. As they hit the tunnel jump side by side Ceithamer out jumped Barnhardt and carried the speed to take the lead away. Menzel worked his way into position to challenge Stoll for third and as they came in to take the checkers, Menzel twisted the throttle just a bit harder and took third by inches. After taking overall seconds in both Open B and Sportsman B Menzel said, “My day went good, I got good starts. I just stayed in the ruts and stayed smooth by riding my lines. No crashes so it was a good day overall. This track is great. It was perfect today, the ruts formed up great. The layout is sick. All I can say is you have to come out here it. Any rider that races motocross would love this track. I have to thank Southeast Sales,

Sullivan cruises at Midway Mitchell, Indiana - June 12 By David Dunnuck Photos by Cheryl Dunnuck

he Midway Motorsports Park track is notorious for being very tight, hard to maneuver and difficult to pass at. A few Hoosier Trail Rider members stepped up and made some changes to the course layout that had a significant impact on the overall flow. The hard work and excitement about the changes were almost forgotten when the overnight rains completely soaked the property. The District 15 Hare scramble racers were once again going to face slick and muddy conditions. The PeeWee course passed through the grass track leading into a hill climb inside the woods that challenges young riders. The PeeWee racers were given a parade lap with all deciding to stay in and shoot for the win. Louden Feltner had an excellent race landing that PreMix victory over Garrett Mundy. While Injector class standout Brody Smith chased after the PreMix riders, Hanna Mull was cruising in second place not too far off of Smith’s pace. In fact, Mull logged the fasted lap of the injector class on the second lap. The Super Mini class once again was a hard fought battle for the victory. Colton Wilkes led the first two laps with Jaden Smith looming within ten seconds. Smith took the lead by the end of the third lap but bobbled during the last lap and broke his shifter, allowing the consistent

riding Wilkes to regain the lead and take the Super Mini victory. In the 85cc class, Tanner Bartlett appeared to be on a mission. Half way into the first lap, Bartlett had built a significant lead on the second place rider, Austin Feltner. While Bartlett was running away with the victory, the battle for second remained fairly close. Feltner maintained his position throughout the first three laps, but gave way to Dawson Dunnuck who took over the second place spot on the fourth and final lap. Langdon Feltner charged out to a 2:27 lead over Drew Rainey on the first lap of the 65cc race. A slow second lap for Feltner allowed Rainey to take over the lead, which he held to the end. In the battle for the big bike overall, eighty-one riders rolled into the first corner, all fighting for the holeshot of their respective class. Of those, seventeen riders eventually finished six laps. Nathan Sullivan burned up the first lap, turning a 17:20 lap time, followed by Daniel Sims. Jordan Johns and Anthony Wagler were next through the gates - separated by 0:20. Brian Temple filled in the number 5 spot. Sullivan was still in the lead half way through the race, riding well, and doing his best to ensure the lead didn't change. Coming through in fifth, Clay Sullivan was creating a buzz considering he had started back in the Heavy B row four. At the white flag,

super sr class winner Robert Kirchner.

ATV Nationals come to Millville Millville, Minnesota - June 3/5 By Mike Nelson

lue skies and warm weather greeted the ATVMX National Championship Series as they pulled into Spring Creek MX Park in Millville for the 7th round of their national tour. Riders from across the country showed up to compete for Championship points in Pro, Pro-Am and Amateur classes, along with a nice turn out of regional riders looking to test themselves. The featured motos for the weekend were the pros with both motos of awesome action run on Saturday followed by the podium awards and an autograph session in the pro pits right after their second moto. Joel Hetrick took the holeshot in the first moto and held the lead for the first four laps before John Natalie finally made the pass for the lead. Natalie pulled away from Hetrick by a couple of seconds but had no time to relax. Series points leader Chad Wienen didn’t get the start he was looking for but he was riding the wheels off his machine and running down the leaders. By the 6th lap he had gotten around Hetrick for second. Wienen was able to catch Natalie mid way through the moto and make a couple challenges for the lead but Natalie dug deep and answered the call holding him off to take the first moto win. Hetrick got the drop on the field again in the second moto but Wienen was right there to take over the lead on the first lap. Natalie found himself backed up in traffic as the pack

got sorted out from the start. By the time Natalie caught Hetrick for second, Wienen had already checked out on the field by over 15 seconds. Natalie and Brown both got by Hetrick who then had problems that dropped him to the back of the field. Just after Hetricks trouble, Natalie’s machine slipped into neutral on a jump opening the door for Brown to get. For the final laps Natalie had to dig deep again, and pulled back on Brown by around two seconds each time around and still had enough to make the pass on the final lap for the second place finish. Along with the Pro and ProAm racing, a full schedule of Amateur class motos rounded out the action for the weekend with several of our regional riders turning in winning and competitive performances against the top riders in the nation. Topping the list would have to be Ken McKean out of Conesville, Iowa taking first place overall in the Open B class and second in 450B. McKean won the first moto of the 450B class leading all four laps and finishing with a comfortable lead.

Mees wins Dairyland Classic Plymouth, WI- June 3 By Bert Sumner Photos by Pete Emme

ammin’ Jared Mees topped Sammy Halbert and Chris Carr to claim his third consecutive Dairyland Classic Presented by Hoban Brothers title on the immaculate 1/3mile clay oval at the Sheboygan County Fair Park. Despite a persistent 40 mph wind, the track developed a wide dust-free groove that offered plenty of passing all night long in front of a near-capacity crowd. Twenty-seven Pro/ The event delivered great racing all night long. Experts from ten states #7 sammy Halbert leading in a heat race here, also won the Dash for Cash. signed up for the 27th annual event that by setting a 16.642 second/ 72.107 mph lap boasted an $11,295 payout. Mees served noon his Honda. Sammy Halbert, the current tice early, claiming the Fast Qualifier bonus Grand National Championship points leader,

CYCLE USA, July 2011

Jesse Janisch, Hayden Gillim and Brock Schwarzenbacher rounded out the top five in qualifying. The evening of surprises began when Pro Singles National Championship points leader Mikey Avila grabbed the holeshot in the first Pro/Expert heat race and scored the win over Mees. Sammy Halbert led the second heat race from start-to-finish. Brock Schwarzenbacher’s stranglehold on the final transfer position evaporated when his muffler came off on lap five, allowing Jethro Halbert, Chris Carr, and JR Schnabel past, with Jethro taking the transfer. Janisch led Pro/Expert heat #3 the entire way with Jeremy DeRuyter following into the main event. Janisch would sit on the pole for the main event. Schnabel led Jimmy Wood and Schwarzenbacher into the main from the first Pro/Expert semi; Michael Martin led Carr and Kenny Coolbeth home in the second. Each qualifying event was faster than the previous, with Martin’s semi marking a new six-lap track record for the facility at 1:43.483. Jake Cunningham grabbed the holeshot in the Jim Sumner Memorial Dash for Cash over Jethro Halbert and Kenny Coolbeth and led the first four laps. Behind him, Sammy Halbert was putting on a charge from fifth, moving into third on lap two, second on lap four, and then grabbing the lead under Cunningham in turn three as they charged towards the white flag. The Pro/Expert main event had Janisch time the light perfectly and led the pack into turn one with Jethro Halbert, DeRuyter, Sammy Halbert and Carr – from the second

row - right behind. Sammy Halbert moved under DeRuyter in turn three and then under Jethro up the front straight to move into second place. By lap two, the Janisch-HalbertHalbert-Carr freight train had opened a gap on the DeRuyter-Mees-Schnabel tussle which had a similar gap over the rest of the tightlybunched field. Carr got a drive up the inside of Jethro up the front stretch on lap three, but ran out of real estate and had to take evasive action to prevent taking both riders out. Carr appeared to lay his Honda down onto its cases and somehow held onto the bouncing bike all the way to the apex, where he twisted the throttle and made the pass. DeRuyter checked up, allowing Mees to move into fourth. At the cross-flags it was Janisch-Halbert-Carr-Mees. Two laps later, Halbert took the lead by diving under Janisch, while Mees dove under Carr and Janisch at the exact same moment to take over second. Mees waited another lap before pulling the trigger and taking the lead as they came out of turn four to complete the 14th lap. Jethro’s fine ride if fifth came to an end when his rear tire went flat, his exit moved Coolbeth up to fifth and Martin up to sixth. From there, it was smooth sailing for Mees, who opened up some breathing room to win an unprecedented third consecutive Dairyland Classic. Mees set a new 20-lap record of 5:36.006, over 8 seconds faster than the previous record, set in ‘08 by Coolbeth. Jacob Jesko claimed his second consecutive 85cc Youth division title, leading every lap over Parker Lange and Alec Muth. Connor Anderson followed up his heat race win in the 250cc Amateur division by leading every lap of the final to claim his second title in three years. Morgen Mischler, who claimed the other Amateur heat race win, overcame a poor start to take second over Soren LaValley and Andrew Schleicher. In Vintage, Tony Giorno led Dan Lauters and Louie Lauters into the main from heat one. Dan Vrana won heat two over John Hundertmark and Pat Bean. Erich Olson, Roger Johnson, and Ron Bean went to the final out of heat three. Mark Muth won the Vintage semi over Dave Schulz, and Steve Kasten. In the final, Hundertmark grabbed the holeshot momentarily before giving way to Vrana. At the end of lap one the order read Vrana, Giorno, Olson, Pat Bean, Hundertmark, and Dan Lauters. On lap two, Bean passed Olson for third, while Hundertmark’s bike went sour shortly thereafter. Giorno kept Vrana honest throughout, but he couldn’t keep his Triumph glued to the groove enough to mount a serious charge. Vrana added yet another Dairyland Vintage title to his trophy case. Matt Schmitz, Corey Mahlum, Matt Matuszewski, and defending Quad Division champion Rob Reitz won the four Quad heat races, with Brett Duran, Jeremy Hunt, Ken

Wisconsin’s Jesse Janisch was the fastest qualifier.

Remer and Tony Daino also transferring to the final. Scott Glynn and Chuck Calvert won the two semis, with Brian Kasminski and Travis Matuszewski rounding out the final field. Duran’s quad failed him during staging, and Reitz’s mount stalled at the flash of the green light. Schmitz grabbed the holeshot over Daino and Mahlum, and held on for his second Quad title. Matt Matuszewski claimed fourth at the finish after a race-long battle with Jeremy Hunt.

Blue Hills Enduro stone lake, Wisconsin - June 19 By Michael Pohl

senior C rider Tom stronczer was one of many that felt the pain of this challenge.

rutal... Look it up in the dictionary and you’ll find the words “harsh; unrelenting”. A perfect description of the 2011 Blue Hills Enduro (aka Stone Lake Enduro). Over the years, this enduro has earned a reputation for being an incredibly challenging event, even when it’s dry. On this day, it wasn’t, it rained long and hard the previous two nights. This set the stage for a steamy sabbath that developed into a grueling slog, over the toughest of trails. Yet, I heard not one complaint from any of the riders. Frustration - Yes. Agony - Absolutely. Complaint - Nadda. That is what separates Enduro riders from the rest of our two-wheeled brethren. The Summit Lake Game Farm plays host to the Blue Hills Enduro (and also the Stone Lake Hare Scrambles). Owner Phil Johnson, an accomplished off-road rider himself, oversees 6000 acres of what, at times, feels like a Northern tropical rain forest. Pheasants flit up along the roads. Bears are often seen ambling on the trails. Deer come stumbling out of the woods holding leafy branches in their mouth, like so many roses (I really did witness this). It is an idyllic location, nestled next to a quiet lake straight out of a Hamm’s Beer commercial. By far, it is the most agreeable and civilized location for an off-road event. MOTR trail boss Mike Ward sent riders in groups of four onto the arduous single track trail, notorious for being covered end-to-end in rocks. Added to this was a generous coating of slippery and slimy mud. Ideal terrain to deflect front tires constantly, unpredictably and perpetually. Maintaining a consistent speed on these rock-strewn paths was well-nigh impossible. Riders had to maintain 100% concentration, all of the time, simply to stay upright. There was no let-up and no rest. This, of course took it’s toll. Of the 110 riders who started, 52 did not finish. But the numbers are only part of the story. We don’t engage in this sport because we want a pleasant Sunday ride in the woods. One enduro rider summed it up best when he said, “I don’t come here for fun. I come here to challenge myself.” Afterwords he said, “mission accomplished”. AA rider Craig Holasek diplomatically said the day was “technical”. Cough. On one of the toughest sections, just before the main gas stop, I photographed physically spent riders as they negotiated the ugliest 90 degree corner I have ever seen. Riders entered this excruciating bend in the trail with their wheels straight-jacketed inside a muddy rut. Then they had to surmount a greasy, wet log that

blocked the trail. Almost no forward momentum could be maintained. Those who did keep moving fared better than those who couldn’t. For most, there was barely enough energy remaining to hang onto the handlebars. After making it over this frictionless log, riders slid onto a mish-mash of shiny wet roots, radiating across the trail at the rudest of angels. These slimy underground veins refused to let tires gain traction. Knobbies spun themselves silly in a high pitch frenzy, sending blobs of mud the size of hand grenades high into the air, plummeting down everywhere... including on my camera. When I could no longer stand it, I swung my formerly shiny black camera onto my back and grabbed fenders and frame rails to do what little I could to help out. It was a lift-push-pull-groan-do-it-again affair. All the while it literally rained mud. Eventually, I had to get back to shooting. This had to be recorded for posterity. With the help of Vito Tomolillo we finally reached the point where we rerouted floppy-armed riders around this den of torture. Some were still grinding away in this section hours later, when the race officially ended. Many riders threw in the towel right after this point at Main Gas. Some hung it up beforehand, missing out on this character-testing section. Yet, slightly over half those who started the day managed to make it to the 9th checkpoint and finish this 45 mile event. These “few” enjoyed the champagne feeling of making it to the bitter end. They are the toughest of the tough and can now bask in the warm glow of accomplishment. The physical stamina and technical riding skills needed to complete this event makes each and every finisher a true champion, in a world that seems to abhor risk and challenge as if they were some sort of disease. ISDE legend and Iron Gen-

tleman Jeff Fredette said of Stone Lake, “If you can ride here, you can ride anywhere.” This, after Iron Jeff spent a day on these very same trails, when they were dry. Brutal indeed.
