From the Back of the Pack By Mike Quinn, D23 Chairman May has been a busy month so far. No more rain outs and we have had two of our Hare Scrambles races held so far with very good turnouts. Our moto numbers are looking good as of now. And my favorite event of the year which is the Golden Eagles spring Thielman Trailride was held the weekend of May 16th and 17th. This no pressure event has been the highlight of my year for many

Betty Tuman

e lost one of our AMA District 17 founders on Sunday, May 3, 2009. Betty Tuman passed after a battle with cancer. Many of you knew her as the spirit and back bone of District 17 for many, many years. She held many offices in D-17 since the origin of this district. Bill and Betty were a big inspiration for all of us. Betty will be deeply missed... District 17 Board of Directors.

Bob Widstrand

1929 - 2009 innesota and motorcycling lost a long time supporter, rider, and business man with the passing of Bob Widstrand. Bob is the “Bob” of Bob’s Cycle Supply in St. Paul. He was there at the beginning of ARMCA, he supported us every year since. Bob started his parts business in a small building on Rice street. He was one of the pioneers in taking parts to the races. He bought an old box van, painted Bob’s on the side, and headed to the races. For over twenty five years the familiar vans were a part of every motocross race

Announcements, personal stuff, and....

seasons now. In its eighteenth year, this ride just continues to grow each season. You will see riders from all of the upper midwest states, and some from Canada. It is one of the best riding areas in the country in my opinion. The fact that it is only used for two rides a year may be part of the reason I always look forward to riding there. It has great soil, elevation changes, rocks, 2 track, single track, and the famous bottoms trails to keep you busy for the entire two days of riding. The area Youth Qualifier for Loretta’s was held this past weekend in Little Falls and there were some very fast and dominant racers there. Dean Wilson won the Open classes looking very good and setting fast lap times in the 1:44 range. Jeremy Martin was in good form on his Supermini with lap times as low as 1:48. If this is a preview of Loretta Lynn’s finals it may be worth the trip to spectate. Maybe some of the best racing there in the last few years. The new format for the outdoor Pro National Motocross Series is getting good reviews from the riders, and the Promoter group has put together an unprecedented television package for the 2009 season. Chad Reed has announced that he will be racing the outdoor series. The 250 class is stacked in Minnesota. He took the business from that first small building to a national mail order giant. Bob retired several years ago and sold the business to some of his long term and loyal employees, and they have carried on the legacy that he started. For those of us that knew him, and had the fortune to visit him in the store and swap stories, he will be sorely missed. Some have the ability to touch us all, Bob was one of those people. We have lodged a request with the DNR to name a new section of trail after him. He more than earned such an honor. Godspeed Bob.

even deeper than the Open class. We should have a really exciting season with anyone of 7 or 8 racers that are capable of winning on any Saturday. The big news is the CPSC ruling that places a two year stay on the enforcement of the lead ban. Apparently the manufacturers are still not comfortable with the stay, and some are still withholding the sale of new youth vehicles. The manufacturers want new legislation that will not leave any legal gray areas for lawyers to tap into. Our work on the issue is not done. We all need to continue calling and writing our US Reps and Senators keeping the pressure on for new legislation that will get us out from under this current CPSIA law. DO not let up; keep the pressure up. District business is moving along as usual. Our membership numbers are a little ahead of last year at this time. We are hoping that this trend continues throughout the season. It would be nice to see some growth and the return of some old faces that have been hit by the economic situation. Do not forget that we are celebrating our 40th Anniversary this year. To mark that occasion we have instituted a lifetime achieve-

ment membership award. If you know anyone that has been an ARMCA member for 30 years, has served the sport by working or promoting events, or served on the board for 15 years please nominate them for this award. This will be the ideal opportunity to recognize some of our members that have given so much of themselves over the last 3 decades to make our sport what it is today. Send the name of your nominee to the district office or to myself. That is all I have for this month. Remember to keep the pressure on congress about the lead ban. Don’t miss the opportunity to recognize some of our long standing members and of course keep riding every chance you get. Have a good and successful month of June. See you on the tracks and trails of Minnesota ( and maybe even WI). For the football fans out there “ Just Say NO to Brett”. Mike Riders’ Meeting From District 16 President, Ken Schuck Get Organized!

Cycle USA Contributors Wanted! Are you looking to get more involved in the sport? Covering events may be the way to do it. If your favorite events aren’t getting coverage in the magazine, you may be the one that can change that. It takes a dedicated effort, but at the same time it can be very rewarding.

met Don when he was a tall, skinny kid, wildly flying around the ice race tracks of Northern Illinois. Since he was too young to drive he came with his dad, Rich, and an assortment of the Waldbuesser and Gruber clan. These guys were part of the foundation of ice racing in our area, and some of the most competitive. Don dabbled in motocross a little, but his love was ice racing and flat track, in that order. Don matured into an adult with a great sense of humor and always a positive attitude. He had a job that took him all over the world. In his travels he met his beautiful wife Selina. They were on their belated honeymoon in Greece when Don drowned in a tragic swimming accident. Even with his “jet setting” life style he managed to maintain his connection to ice racing and flat track. Recently he was able to spend more time at home in Union, Illinois. Consequently, he and Rich raced quite a lot last year. I looked forward to his phone calls after a race weekend that began with a cheery, “Hi, Larry,” as he filled me in with all the details. It took me back to a time and place when life was much simpler, and outside pressures of the world were temporarily forgotten, where we all enjoyed the camaraderie of the close knit ice race / flat track community. It was a time when we watched Don, (and Rich), in the pits with tools flying, wheels and gearing changing, and suspension adjusting - a flurry of activity! But, when

ment about “fixing your image” back when I was 15 years old. It may have been a comment about the need for funding a trail system for dirt bikes when I was in my twenties. Well, we are getting organized. A new organization has been started. The Wisconsin Off Highway Motorcyclist Association (WOHMA) is not an AMA-sanctioned group and is independent of District 16. A goal is to not be overshadowed by other motorized recreation groups that have been organized for several years (boats, snowmobiles, ATVs). I have been involved with D16 from almost the beginning of the District, and I know some folks think D16 should also address non-competition biker concerns (our main focus remains AMA-sanctioned races, rides, and events). We have been and will continue to do so. Our District Legislative Officer, Mike Schwarzenbacher, has been very involved in noise issues, land access issues and other non-racing issues. Thanks Mike! Several WOHMA board members recently attended a meeting of the DNR Board to monitor progress on a possible STATE-OWNED dirt bike park. I urge clubs and riders to support WOHMA and its efforts. Look at the members of the WOHMA board, they are all long-time motorcycle activists. WOHMA has a web site where you can find out more info, www.wohva.com

Don pulled up to the starting line he typically had the right set up. That was worth the, “price of admission” in itself, let alone watching him master the track and the competition. Hence, the creation of the CWIRA button, “I beat Don Waldbuesser,” on the rare occasion that happened! I will always remember Don, the master ice race tire builder, who helped CRR (and many other racers) establish a great reputation in this area for ice racing expertise. I think of him as an irreplaceable friend who achieved success in his career, made lasting friendships, loved his family, and found happiness in his marriage. Taken by the water he so mastered when it was ice. We’ll miss you, “Racer Don!” Contributions can be made in Don’s name to the “Steel Shoe Fund,” in care of Al and Judy Sumner, 4545 North 159th Street, Brookfield, WI 53005

Big Turnout for Hill Climb Opener Red Wing, Minnesota - May 2/3 By Mike Nelson

ver 200 entries registered for the Hill Climb season opener hosted by the Indianhead Motorcycle Club of Red Wing, MN. The climb at Red Wing was a dual points event with riders earning points for the season in District 16 and ,23 and was also Red Wingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s King of the Hill Championship event for the season. As usual the club opened up their hill for practice on Saturday after the long winter off. Many of the riders showed up early to get some extra seat time, fine tune their machines, or test out new rides. Marty Peterson and his son Logan both have new bikes this year along with Gabby Prebe, her brother Jacob, Cory Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neil, Jason Laven, and Jay Sallstrom just to name a few. Sunny skies and a beautiful day greeted riders from all over the Midwest on Sunday morning as they filed in to sign up and get ready to run. The jumps and starting area had all been groomed after practice and the hill was in great shape for the competition. The ATV class led things off with Tyler and Stephen Clark making the long trip up from Missouri worth their time by taking first and second place over District Champion Brian

Childs. Youth classes were next to hit the hill with the micro-minis leading the way. Colton Exner got the win as the only rider in the class to go over the top. Macy Koester was gunning for him but came up a little short on her second attempt, losing control over the final jump and taking a measurement of 268. Nathan Prebe took the top spot in both the 65cc and Mini Jr. classes, while Logan Peterson topped the list of riders to watch in the Mini Sr. class, beating out Mitch Koester, Logan Cipala, and Dylan Nichols. These young men are all great riders who will be moving out of the youth classes over the next couple of years to make their mark on some bigger machines. Competition was very stiff for the 600cc class with less than two and a half seconds separating the twenty rider class. Class veteran Todd Cipala and hill record holder on his Harley Davidson.

CYCLE USA, June 2009

Jared Gitter rides to victory in the 450cc class.

Todd Cipala led the way through both rounds winning with the fastest time for any class of 6.227 seconds on his second attempt. Another class that saw considerable growth is Senior, or as they would prefer, +40. Top times in the class were competitive with any other class as Tim Cain led the way over Jay Curtis, Brad Cain (Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s younger brother), and the other seventeen riders. With the large turnout and the 4-Stroke class running last, Jared Gitter had to wait until late in the day to see if he would be able to beat rival and class champion Aaron Prebe. Prebe has dominated the 450cc and 4-Stroke classes for the past several years, and Jared knew he would have his work cut out for him when he moved up into those classes two seasons ago. Since then Gitter has scored an occasional win in one class or the other, but nothing consistent enough to challenge for the season championship in either class. I think Gitter may have added more to his Yamaha than just new graphics because he was able to put together runs in both classes that were faster than Prebe. Prebe held the lead in the 450cc class after the first round but fell deep into the field on his first attempt in the 4-Stroke class, leaving Gitter to take the early lead. When the 450s came up for their second run, Gitter let it all hang out and put up a smoking fast run of just over six and a half seconds to take the lead. Prebe came up just a couple riders later but was unable to better his first run, sending the win to Gitter. When the 4-Strokers finally got their second runs, Prebe took the lead from Gitter with a time just under seven

seconds, but when Gitter came up he was able to dig deep and find just enough to edge out Prebe by just two one hundredths of a second. It will be interesting to see if Gitter can hold on and stay ahead of Prebe for the rest of the season. It was awesome to see all of the riders out again this year and although the huge turnout ran the event into the early evening hours Sunday, it was well worth it for those who stuck around to see all the great racing action.

Motosports Park Qualifier a success Byron, Illinois - May 2 By Tom Simonton

raveling to Motosports Park for the opening day of the two day Loretta Lynn Area Qualifier, I couldn’t help but notice all the water standing along the road and in the fields. You had to wounder how deep the mud was going to be. The rain had moved on for the weekend, so the optimistic side me hoped for the best. The track dirt looked like a corn farmer’s dream, loamy black pillows with no rocks in sight. A new section before the rhythm and finish line jump was looking good for ruts at the bottom of a 180 turn before going back up hill. Practice was fast and proved that Aaron Vincer had weathered the storm and brought the track back to top form. Finally the first moto of Byron’s qualifier was on the line. At the gate drop thirty-eight riders were off and looking for one of seven spots to move on to the regional. Alex Nagy’s Kawasaki got the day’s first holeshot in 1215 Supermini, leading riders through the corner and down the

track. Jace Owen wasted no time making his move to the front and then kept it to the checkers. Daniel Lippman got a good start and held on to finish fourth, while Kody Kamm made better on a mid-pack start, working his way to second by the end of the moto. Following Kamm through traffic was Darian Robinson who made it up to third. Motosports Factory’s Kamm came out on a mission in the second moto to take the win and overall. Daniel Lippman stepped up his effort for second and Robinson finished third. In 85Jr Stock, leading them down the front straight right away it was Bradley Esper followed by Dakin Coons, Jared Jennings, Samuel Redman, Jamison Duclos, and Trevor Prichard. Jennings made the pass on Coons during the first lap, setting his sights on Esper. Jennings made his move on the inside of the holeshot corner on the last lap. Second moto finished in the same order with Jennings taking the impressive win ahead of Esper. The 450A holeshot was all Vaughn Mays. Justin Kelly held

Tom Dretzka dominated the Vet classes on Sunday.

CYCLE USA, June 2009

Kody Kamm had a great weekend, as anyone should have exected.

a close second, not willing to let the new A rider get away without a fight. Kelly made his move after the first lap, cutting to the inside around the holeshot corner, leading the rest of the way to the checkered flag. Mays prevailed in the second moto for the overall followed by Kelly, Chris Damm, and Joe Dretzka. Yamaha rider Kirsten Raemisch led the Women’s class to a double moto win followed by Elissa Grzincic, Bryce Martinez, April Roper, and Shelby Miller. Holeshot artist Anthony Wallace got the jump on the 65Jr class, however the talent from out of state wasn’t willing to follow him long. Tait Morrissey made a successful move for the top spot in moto one. Wallace held on to second with Jeff Janowski third, and Logan Leitzel fourth. Morrissey repeated the feat in the second moto, leading an orange pack of Anthony Groves, Janowski, Eddie Norred, Jr. and Alex Adent.

Trevor Pritchard dominated 65Sr race with a mirror image finish for the top five spots in moto one and moto two. Tylker Valentine took the 450B holeshot and led the race from start to finish. Recovering from a bad start, Zach Coons went to work to finish second. Coons, the Yamaha pilot then came back for the overall win in the second moto. Tyrell Cunningham finished stock class with a consistent third. Justin Kelly and Vaughn Mays mixed it up again at the front of the 250A class, with Kelly crossing the line first both motos. Putting on a good show leaning through rutted corners and scrubbing the jumps were A riders Chris Damm, Adam Berg, and Joe Dretzka. Supermini 2 (14-16) was dominated by Kody Kamm. Holding close to Kamm, Jace Owens finished second with Joey Dalzell in third. The biggest race of the day was 250B Stock, and Dylan Walker took top honors with a pair of thirds. Joey Peters

claimed the second place trophy as Jake Anders ran well for third. 51Sr leader James Shockey tends to draw the crowd closer to the track as he goes by. A frenzy of rooting, cheering and coaching surrounded the buzzing blur of seven and eight year olds as they made their way around the track. Preston Johns held second in front of Eddie Norred. Shockey kept a tight inside line in the new section, but coming out of the back, Norred had moved around Johns for the second spot. Gage Swartz was in fourth with Jett Jankowski fifth. The final lap had Jankowski put on a charge moving into third. Jankowski returned for the win in moto two for second overall behind Shockey. The handlebars were bangin’ in the 250C holeshot with some riders going down. Zachary Masch, Dakota Cox and Tanner Oetling were lucky and ahead of the carnage. Cox had some trouble and Oetling moved into second with Tyler Auten in tow for the third. Moto two was a repeat as Zachary Masch ran off with the win ahead of Oetling in second. Racing went on all day long with the last few races cut one lap to get it all in before sunset. Sunday brought a beautiful spring morning with a little more sun. The little kids went home, and the old kids came out to play. Many of the same riders ran out front in the Modified classes as they had in Saturday’s stock motos. Some of the old kids clocking in were Adam Wright in +25, Jeffery Blaha +30B/C, and master gladiator Bill Ziesk in the +50 class. The Iron man of the weekend with a hoot and holler out of the corner and over obstacles, continues to put entries in the history books for wins in: +40, +45, and +35. The vocals of Tom Dretzka coming from the track tell you where his heart is in this sport, which has been a life style choice for him. The Dretzka family has had many hot summers at the Hurricane Mills ranch of Loretta Lynn for the annual elite Amateur Race and Tom doesn’t see any reason to stop soon.

Denmark shines after track changes

first moto win. “I got a real good jump on the pack and came into the corner pretty good,” said Pulley. “I’m not the best on these concrete starts. Ryan Gilbert was on me early but I started to pull him about halfway through the moto. The whoops were challenging. I had to nail them just right otherwise I couldn’t triple out.” The second moto had Pulley out to the lead with Ben Peterson in tow. Pulley had enough gas in his tank to pull out back to back wins while Peterson settled for second overall via his 3-2 tallies as Gilbert took home third with 2-3 scores. The 250B class had plenty of action going on as Flyin Ryan

here were some big changes made to the hilly natural terrain track at Denmark before the snow fell last year by Schaefer Tracks and many anticipated the changes early spring. But a rain-shortened first race and a small turnout due to inclement weather only saw a few riders take to the track a few weeks earlier. This time, over 300 entries were in attendance to race under blue skies, and comfortable temperatures. Good comments were made throughout the day about the changes made to the over 30 year old track, as well as nice conditions. Things got kicked off early in the day with the 250A division as Ryan Gilbert stormed up the long hill to the first corner only to be overtaken by Dustin Pulley as he slingshot himself into the early lead aboard his Yamaha two stroke. Gilbert stayed close, but it was Pulley who had the big whoops dialed in as he would double-double, then triple out gaining valuable ground on the field. Ben Peterson was gaining ground after a poor start, eventually getting around Dustin Hoffman in the whoops for third. By this time Pulley was out to a Ryan Finnel with his 125cc two stroke getting the jump in 250B. comfortable lead to take the 10 CYCLE USA, June 2009

Finnel had his two stroke Suzuki screaming up the hill and into the lead while Kawasaki mounted CJ Greaves started on the far outside, trying to keep his momentum through the fast first turn. Finnel edged the field out and led the pack for the opening lap with twenty-three riders behind. The top seven were a complete freight train as they came careening down the steep hill to complete the first lap. It was Finnel, Josh McCole, Adam Reek, and CJ Greaves battling for the top spot. Going into the third lap McCole got around the leader as Finnel started to fade due to arm pump. Shortly after, Greaves started to gain momentum pulling into second. Just

when you think McCole had the moto nailed, Greaves came charging down the downhill towards the finish line and set his Kawasaki on the inside of McCole as McCole left the door open. Greaves and McCole touched sending McCole to the ground just as the checkers flew for Greaves to take the first moto victory. After the finish, neither rider was upset about the situation as both chalked it up to good racing. “The Denmark crew didn’t have me on the list of riders so we had to pick the final gate on the outside and when the gate fell, I spun a little bit,” said Greaves. “I came out around fifth or sixth and just started to

250C aboard his Honda. Brandon Hoffman passed Miller in the whoops and then checked out during the final two laps. Hoffman backed his first moto performance with a beautiful holeshot in the second moto over thirty-seven other C riders. Denmark had a great turnout and will hopefully continue to see great conditions and racing for their other upcoming events.

pick people off one by one, eventually into the second spot. I was charging pretty good and Josh left the door open on the inside so I switched lines and made the pass,” Greaves said. “I got a good start and I had no idea that CJ was behind me, and the last corner we kind of came into each other and I went down,” said McCole. The second moto had Adam Reek, new to the 250B class out front as he edged out his friend Greaves for the top spot on the holeshot. The track was just a tad greasy in the early goings as

the crew had finished watering, but it was coming around lap after lap. Reek began to separate himself from the pack as the youngster looked really good on his Yamaha. Greaves had pulled alongside second place rider Justin Broberg but never made the pass. Meanwhile, Reek distanced himself from the pack to take the second moto win, enough for him to garnish the overall via his 3-1 tallies while Greaves scored a 1-3. McCole wound up third overall.

Fun Valley MX Season Opener Montezuma, Iowa - April 18-19 By Mark Bonnell Photos by Missi Thede

ven Mother Nature couldn’t stop the crew at Iowa’s Fun Valley Moto X from kicking off their season with an excellent weekend of Motocross racing for both motorcycle and ATV enthusiasts from all over Iowa and a few surrounding states. Even while the mid-week weather predictions were nearly 100% sure that the weekend would be a rainout, the Fun Valley crew was busy getting their track ready for the weekend’s racing program. The weekend’s weather turned out to be much better than the predictions with Saturday’s light showers and Sunday’s overcast skies keeping the track in near-perfect shape for both days. One of the best classes of the weekend was Sunday’s 250A class. With top riders from as far away as Decatur, Illinois on the starting line, the crowd was guaranteed to see some exciting racing. As the gate fell, it was Kyle Corman who worked his way into the lead at the top of the hill. Kurt McCabe, Bradly Deprenger, Colin Hickman and Ben Brommel were close behind. Lap two proved to be very exciting as Corman seemed to have the moto well under

of the track. McCabe had his favorite sections control until he made a crucial error over the and was able to catch back up to Hickman triple to the top of the hill and ended up on the near the finish line on every lap, making it ground. This allowed Hickman to move into very exciting for the crowd. On the fourth the lead. Hickman was putting in some exlap, McCabe was within a second of Hickman cellent laps, but was slowly being caught by McCabe in the section just before the finish line where there are a few ways to navigate the jumps and table tops. McCabe was able to get past Hickman for the win in the first moto. Brommel crossed the line in third place with Deprenger and Corman rounding out the top five. When the class left the line for the start of the second moto, it was McCabe who with the start he was looking for. Corman washed out his front tire and found himself on the ground as the rest of the class motored away. Hickman worked his way into the lead near the end of the first lap and clearly looked to be faster in many parts Kyle Corman with a big lead over the step-up.

as the two riders approached the finish line. Hickman managed to stay in front of by virtue of his outstanding cornering skills. Deprenger, Corman and Jordan Graham rounded out the top five for the moto and on the day. Moto one’s third place finisher Brommel ended his day by pushing his motorcycle back to the pits with a broken chain. Douglas Jensen dominated Sunday’s Quad C class by winning both motos ahead of second place finisher Brian Clark.

Cregg continues his control Columbus, Indiana - May 17 By David Dunnuck

he second race of the 2009 Stoney Lonesome Motorcycle Club championship series was held in the completely saturated southern Indiana terrain. While a quick glance at Sunday’s weather conditions indicated a beautiful day for racing, the week leading up to the event was anything but perfect. Heavy rains fell from Tuesday through Saturday, sometimes exceeding two inches in a day. Fortunately, the rain ended early on Saturday and the sun came out long enough to dry the parking area. The woods, due to the thick canopy of leaves, didn’t see such drying. The courses were designed with the saturated ground taken into consideration, but there is not much that can be done when faced with these conditions. All three courses were shortened and routed such that the notorious technical elements of Stoney Lonesome MC grounds were avoided. This created other issues of excessive traffic on the course resulting in deep ruts and traffic jams. The PeeWee racers course avoided the slimy off-camber sections that typically results in significant spectator involvement.

MINI’ S Are Back!

Despite the weather, twelve young racers headed into the woods on the green flag with Jacob Stark landing his second victory in a row and his career in the Injector class. Langdon Feltner made the course look easy with his consistent lap times resulting in his first win in the Premix class at Stoney. The mini race consisted of fifty-four riders leaving the line in the Super Mini, 85cc

Dawson Dunnuck ready to head into the muddy terrain.

The 85cc race unfolded with another Witkowski family show where brothers (Alex and Michael) won the 85cc and 65cc races as they did at the District 15 opener at Culver. While Alex won the 85cc race, it appeared to be another Luke Chilman runaway until he experienced significant engine issues late in the race dropping him to fifth. Jesse Parr continued to charge the entire race resulting in an impressive second place in the 85cc class. Eric Douglass surprised Michael Witkowski by leading the first lap of the 65cc class in the muddy conditions. Douglass eventually faded just enough for the consistent and smooth riding Witkowski to open a significant lead and eventually become the

only 65 rider to complete eight laps. Vincent Smith charged early in the race and had built enough of a cushion in third place to hold off the late charge by Dawson Dunnuck who finished fourth. The big bike race was launched with 101 riders lined up for the unknown challenge that lay ahead of them. The course consisted of rocky creek bottoms and solid packed high ridge trails and the unfortunate transitions between them. John Robbins charged ahead of the pack with the strong desire to break Jeff Creggâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win streak at Stoney, where he appears to be invincible lately. Robbins led the first three laps of the seven lap race only to relinquish the lead to Cregg on the fourth lap due to a bobble in lapped traffic. Robbins trailed Cregg by 1:33 at the end of lap four. Jordan Johns was riding hard, thinking "my job" is to whittle away at the lead and move up a notch to claim the second place from Robbins, just 3:08 ahead. Nathan Sullivan maintained his position on this lap - holding the number four spot, trailing by 1:55. From the second row, Jeffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother Andy Cregg had moved through the crowd into the fifth place overall, just 1:32 behind Sullivan. Jeff Cregg was still in the lead at the white flag, doing his best to ensure the lead didn't change for the remainder of the event. Robbins maintained his position on this lap. Johns kept a cool head and maintained his

third place position, but with a 4:19 disadvantage. At the checkered flag, Cregg had built a 5:01 lead on Robbins with the Johns, Sullivan and Andy Cregg rounding out the top five. The top five finish order was an exact duplicate of the Stoney series round one.

were all mounted on KX250Fs. Bucking the odds, and the mob of green by leading the first moto all the way was Yamaha 450-mounted Nathan Rosso. John Dehn was pressuring in second but crashed early in the second lap, losing a lot of time. Bruce Dehn worked up to second, but was unable to pass Rosso in the six-lap moto. John recovered for third, followed by up and comer, Michael Riehm, and Dan Holmes. In the longer second moto, John and Bruce Dehn broke away for their own personal duel. John led the first seven laps before Bruce took over and took the close win. Overall it was Bruce (2-1), John (3-2), Rosso (4-1), Riehm (4-3), and Holmes (5-5).

beautiful spring day at Grantsburg Motocross Park really brought out the green. No, not the foliage, but the green of Kawasakis looking for some cash. The first dry, District 23/ Kawasaki contingency race of the year brought a lot of new as well as familiar faces to race in the deep sand. Long motos for the 250 and Open A classes, as well as the “buy two, get a third entry for free” offer by the promoting Straight Arrow Enduro Riders, gave nearly everyone as much track time as they wanted, and provided some entertaining Former national pro Tom races for the spectators as well.

Former Kawasaki factory rider, Tom Benolkin made his first trip back since 2002. Tom commented, “I was here at the first event and would have never imagined I’d be back 35 years later.” Benolkin, who is riding a “modern” KX250F this year, signed up for the three classes, which may have turned out to be one class too many. His first class in the race order was +40A. In the first moto, Tony Ulrich, who ran a few nationals “back in the day”, got the holeshot, but by the end of the first lap, Benolkin had worked his way into the lead and then pulled away. Rob Irving was a solid second After the first Open A moto, a decision over Chuck Thompson, Ulrich, and “Super” was made by the scoring division of the club Jack Parenteau. The second moto played out to run the Open A and 250 A motos more much the same, with the top four the same laps, because “6 laps was just too short”. in both motos and the overall.

Rounding out the top

five, both in the moto and overall, were Riehm, Fratzke, and Cody Breitbach. Opting to sign up for “only” two classes, was Grantsburg uber-Vet, Bill Medek. His usual 50-100 laps at the Saturday practice were probably enough to get familiar with the track. His first race up was the +25A, where he won the first moto despite pressure from Fratzke. All the way from Thunder Bay, Ontario was the third place rider, Dana Yacuk. Following them home were Senior foes, Irving and Thompson. In the second moto, Fratzke had the lead early, with Medek “looking for places to set him up”, but he didn’t have to, when Fratzke hit the ground. Medek led the rest of the way for the moto and overall win. Fratzke recovered for second. Following him in the race and overall were Yacuk, Irving, and Jason Heindl. In Vet A, it was the young(er) Vet against the local legend, Benolkin. Unfortunately for Benolkin, there was only one moto to rest following the 10-lap 250A marathon. After ripping the holeshot on his Honda 450, Medek began to feel pressure from Benolkin on the first lap. Looking a bit ragged, by his normally flawless standards, Benolkin went down and took a while to get back going, finishing the moto in seventh. Club fast-guy, Charlie Forrest, rode to an uncontested second followed by Heindl, Thompson, and Meisen. In the second moto, Medek led early again, but this time Benolkin stayed close. It was a classic duel, as they both had places on the track where one seemed to be faster than the other. In the end, Medek held on for the moto and overall win. “Medek and I talked about the race for 20 minutes afterwards”, commented Benolkin after the race, “That’s the most fun I’ve had finishing second in a long time.” Overall it was Medek, Forrest (2-3), Heindl (3-4), Benolkin (7-2), and Thompson (4-5). While the A classes provided a lot of the excitement, there were plenty of fine performances in other classes. The top Youth rider was Brandon Riehm, who won 85cc 912 and Supermini, leaving the family trophy total at five for the day. The outstanding B rider of the day was Chad Noaiell, winning five of six motos, with overalls in 250B, Open B, and 14-24B. CYCLE USA, June 2009

At the conclusion of the first moto, Caudill claimed first with Hough following and Fishers, IN’s Aaron Yoder and his Kawasaki taking third place. Willy Kelly finished fourth aboard his KTM with Steven Squire coming through traffic to claim fifth. In the second moto, Caudill took the lead in the sec-

Caudill’s back to back wins gave him the overall with Hough claiming runner-up with his 2-3 finishes. Squire took the show position after riding to an impressive second in the final moto. In the 250A class, Mitchell Hough got his overall by taking back to back wins with Steven Squire following with two second place finishes. Third place overall went to Caudill.

Another big Hawkeye Downs

Andy Ney grabbing the holeshot in 250B. Cedar Rapids, Iowa - May 9 By Michael & Alex Sierens msactionphotos.com

ound three of the 2009 Hawkeye Downs Series saw over 405 entries proving that this is one of the premier locations in the Midwest to compete. The wind kept the track crew on their toes, as they had to apply more water as the races went on to keep the racing surface in perfect shape through the night. The weather was picture perfect with sunny skies and mid 80’s during practice, dropping to the mid 60’s by the main events. In the Women’s class Rochelle Charnowski grabbed the holeshot heading into the first turn. Charnowski led the pack of seven riders, which included Hailee McDonald on her Yamaha and Kayla Allers who followed Charnowski in second and third. Allers quickly made the pass into second when McDonald made a slight bobble. Charnowski checked out on the field, building a huge lead by the end of the second lap. Meanwhile, the race for second place heated up. McDonald made the pass back into second place by the end of lap two, but Allers kept herself within striking distance. Another battle was for the fourth place position as Tanya Gates and Stormie Bonazza were fighting for valuable championship points. The two riders swapped the positions several times during the last two laps. Gates made the final pass on the last lap by hitting the step up jump in the infield section and held on to take fourth. Charnowski took an easy win in 22

front of McDonald and Allers. Matt Morris on his Honda took the +30B/C main event holeshot with Jason Goss on his back wheel. Right away, Goss hit the infield triple to make the pass into the lead, but Morris fought back in the very next corner and took the position back. Goss re-took the lead as Nicole Weis was watching all this before dropping back to fourth through the same back rhythm section when Troy Pflughaupt on his Suzuki showed her the quick line through. Goss led the pack towards the finish line to put lap number one in the books with Morris a couple of bike lengths behind. Morris kept the pressure on, but Goss didn’t make any mistakes and took his first win on the year. Finishing a strong third place was John Cooke who worked his way through the pack to take the final podium position. Austin Miller put his Yamaha up front in the Quad C main event, doing his best to make up for a fifth place finish in the heat race. Sitting in a comfortable second off the start was Joe Rizzio with Chris Costanzo third. Miller was already checking out from the rest of the pack by the middle of the second lap. The pack ran for the rest of the race with the expection of a couple of riders got tangled together through the whoops. Mark Donahwe was on top of Daniel White at the end of it. Donahwe was able to refire and finish the race, but White wasn’t as fortunate and had to pull off to DNF. Brandon Hoag got a great jump off the gate and led the pack of Quad 90 CVT riders through the first corner. Jessica Pelock and

Josh Lohman were in chase mode in second and third. Pelock lost a couple of positions around the second turn with Dillion Vahle pone of the riders moving up. The early leader dropped back to third by the end of the opening lap. Vahle moved up to take the lead and quickly put a gap between himself and second place Lohman. The running order stayed the same over the rest of laps. One of the toughest classes on the track is the highly competitive 250B class. Logan Neuhaus grabbed the lead heading into the first turn. Taylor Detrick, Brian Jestrab and Andy Ney were second through fourth. The pack was tightly bunched together as they navigated through the infield section. As they headed back to the rhythm section for the first time, Neuhaus still held the point as Bobby Hanson moved into third behind Detrick. Hanson was too fast for Detrick to hold off, and was dropped to third soon after. Lap three saw Hanson move to within a bike length of Neuhaus. Ney also was able to get around Detrick and began the challenge of chasing down Hanson and Neuhaus. The three speedsters have battled every moto that they have raced in. Ney had to settle for a hard fought third behind Hanson in second and Neuhaus who took the win. Long-time Hawkeye rider Austin Raubs grabbed the holeshot in the Open A main event. Raubs who recently moved back from Missouri looks as fast as ever. Behind Raubs were Kurt McCabe and Jeremy Kress. It only took McCabe a lap to get into the lead and instantly put a gap on Raubs who immediately felt the pressure from Kress for second. On

lap three Kress made the pass through the whoop section putting our early leader back to third ahead of Todd Walton. In fifth, Chad Leidigh was under the gun from Justin Grossnickle. The two Honda riders were side-byside battling for the last two laps. Leidigh held off Grossnickle to keep that position. McCabe picked up another main event win with Kress a couple seconds back. Raubs shouted with joy as he jumped over the finish line triple happy with a third place finish.

South Fork opener, finally Taylorville, Illinois - May 17 By James Pinckard

reat weather welcomed the riders to round one of the South Fork Dirt Riders track championship. It sure seems late to be hosting your first motocross, but Mother Nature can sometimes have a different understanding of what we want out of the weekend. At South Fork the river has come up to the base of the finish line, leaving the starting area looking like a lake instead of a motocross track. The crew at South Fork did a great job moving the start to the top of the hill and adjusting the rest of the track as needed. Most all the riders liked it this way, some wanting it to not change back. With the economy still Cody Mohler won both the 250 and Open B classes.

In his class Mike Dennis took both moto wins and the

One pair of riders that always seem to deliver a great battle, yet ride clean are Yamaha rider Cody Mohler and Suzuki rider Mikel White. Every race they pass each other a number of times. Mohler just seems a little more consistent with White falling a little more. How did they do today? In the Open B class Mohler took both moto wins ahead of White in second. Third went to World of Powersports Kawasaki rider Aaron Davis. What the results don’t show is White led a number of times and at the finish they were close. As they lined up for their second moto of the 250B class White looked ready and when they left the start, gloves were off. White laid down some good lap times and this time didn’t make any

Then to prove she was a good sport, Mother Nature celebrated Mothers Day along with 502 entries with a perfect, sunny day. The decision to cancel Saturday was a hard one, but proved to be absolutely correct as the track stayed in great shape all day come Sunday. Most corners developed several lines which stayed soft and tractable for all the motos. The first big bike class to take a gate drop was Non-current and Kevin Niles blasted out in front of the eighteen racers to take the holeshot. Jim Beckman was right behind Niles and for the first couple of laps put some pressure on. Tom Ferguson moved up from a fourth place start and by the beginning of lap two, taking over third place from Clint Dehnert. Lap three saw Ferguson moving up behind Beckman and by the time they came over the plateau, Ferguson was into second and starting to pick away at the lead Niles was holding. When the checkers flew Niles was still out front with Ferguson second. In moto two Ferguson was out front at the holeshot, but Niles and Beckman were flanking him. As they jumped the plateau Niles launched past Beckman to take second. Next time over the plateau it was Niles in the lead with Ferguson pushing hard to take it back. Niles was in the lead at the checkers and took the overall with Ferguson second and Beckman finishing up the podium. Brandon Clifford grabbed the holeshot for 125Jr. moto one with Tylor Skodras on his rear wheel around the corner. Halfway through the first lap Skodras was out front with Clifford now looking for any opening to retake the lead. Tyler Elliot was in third, but on the east end of the track he ran into trouble and his moto was over. Jonathon Kraemer took advantage and moved into

third with Cody Steuck and Ty Hennessy right behind him. Meanwhile Brandon Marescalco was moving through the pack and on lap three had slid into fourth behind Kraemer. As they hit the drop off before the plateau Marescalco made his move and grabbed third. As lap four began, Clifford found an opening and took over first across the start straight but Skodras quickly regained the lead and held on until the checkers flew. Moto two saw Skodras out front on the start with Clifford battling him for the lead. Kraemer was holding onto third with pressure from Steuck and Marescalco. By the finish Marescalco was in fourth and pushing. The overall went to Skodras (1/1), Clifford (2/2) was second, and Kraemer (4/3) took a hard fought third for the day. Kirsten Raemisch launched her way to the moto one holeshot in the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class with Dawn Edwards and Kaylen Pellmann right behind; she then proceeded to put some breathing room between herself and the rest of the class. Edwards grabbed second and Andrea Walsdorf pushed her way around Pellmann before the first trip over the plateau. On lap two Edwards went down, and by the beginning of lap three Pellmann was up in second place, which she held to the finish. Haylee Marescalco was riding in third with Monica Jazwiecki holding fourth. By the time lap four was starting Kelly Brill had worked her way through everyone and was up to fourth. Brittany Curelo was first to enter the track in moto two but before they cleared the first double Raemisch was out front. Curelo went down hard in the west end and had to fight her way back into the fray. Edwards was in second as the class jumped the plateau on lap one with Walsdorf and Marescalco right behind her. Marescalco had a battle with Brill going all moto, and they swapped positions several times. By the time the moto came to an end Brill was able to find the edge to take third at the checkers. Raemisch was the overall winner while Brill (4/3) took second and Marescalco (3/4) finished third. In +30B, James Kruse grabbed the holeshot with Troy Fisher hanging

on his rear wheel. By the time they were coming over the plateau on lap one Fisher had faded back to third with Jeffery Blaha now holding onto second. Fisher soon had pressure from Andy Heinecke and by the start of lap three Heinecke found the opening to slide past. Meanwhile Carl Hein was working through the pack, positioning himself to battle with Heinecke. Despite being pushed hard by Hein, Heinecke held on and took third at the checkers. Blaha grabbed the holeshot in moto two with Hein less than a half bike behind. By the beginning of lap two Kruse had moved up into the lead and had a battle going with Hein who challenged him at every corner. Blaha settled into third and held of Heinecke to the checkers. Kruse took the overall with a set of moto wins. Sportsman B/C, with 53 entries was split up into two gates and Joshua Philbrick grabbed the holeshot for the first split, quickly being challenged by Todd Waege around the corner. Waege held onto second for the next lap and a half but just couldn’t hold off the hard charging

Justin Broberg, who made his move in the sand section. Jonathon Hartman also found his way around Waege before the plateau and set his sites on Broberg. As they ran the barn section Hartman got by Broberg setting up a great battle to the finish. On their last lap over the plateau both Hartman and Broberg were side by side in the air, but Hartman was able to hold on. Brennen Marshall led the class onto the track in moto two with Nick Kindler alongside. Philbrick quickly moved into the lead and Marshall was soon feeling pressure from Hartman. Hartman made his move in the east end on lap two while Broberg took advantage as well and moved up into third. Philbrick took the overall with a 1/1 finish while Hartman (2/2) edged out Broberg’s (3/3) hard charge for second. In 85Sr it was Riley Telfer grabbing the holeshot on his Kawasaki with Brandon Clifford at his rear wheel. By the time they came around to the plateau Clifford had secured the lead. Cruising in third was Maxwell Malkmus. James Burd passed

Jacob Luginbuhl on his way to second overall in Sportsman B/C.

into third through the barn section. The running order stayed the same to the checkers. In moto two the holeshot again went to Telfer, but again Clifford made short work of taking the lead away. Burd was holding third in front of a battle for fourth between Austin Fisher and Malkmus. On lap two in the sand section Malkmus made the

pass and then held third to the finish despite Fisher chasing hard after him. Clifford took the overall while second went to Telfer (2/2). Billy Holzhauer showed taking last season off had little effect on his start style as he took the holeshot in 250A moto one. Mathew Maier quickly took the lead with Joseph Dretzka and

Brad Behrens right behind, pushing for any chance to get past. Maier had his hand full of throttle as he held off the hard charging Dretzka and the two of them began putting some room between them and the rest of the class. Meanwhile Behrens and Holzhauer were running in close formation with Brian Antoniak catching up as well. By lap five there was less than a second separating third through sixth. Jacob Oldenburg was able to push his way through for the pass on the east end and claimed third place at the checkers. In moto two Oldenburg was first into the holeshot corner with Maier and Holzhauer less than a bike length behind. Once again Maier and Dretzka were quick to move up and start another battle for the lead. No matter how hard Dretzka charged he just couldn’t pull enough to get around Maier. Oldenburg was able to hold third for the moto despite Holzhauer pushing him. Maier took a hard fought overall with Dretzka and Oldenburg finishing out the podium. Maier commented after the race, “The track was really holding up well, it’s by far the best it has ever been. The crew did a really good job. They tilled it up really deep and that rain we got yesterday really helped, I don’t think they had to water at all today. They brought in a lot of sand and changed up some obstacles which made it good for racing and made for more passing lines. First moto I had a third place start but I got into the lead about the third or fourth turn. Then on lap two my front end started feeling funny and it turned out I had a flat tire from the second lap on. Joey is riding really good today and definitely making it more of a challenge which is really good. I could pull him in some sections. I’ve got to work on those sections and get a bit faster lap times. I want to thank Motosports Factory and KTM, Devol Engineering, Moose racing, Smith Goggles, Alpinestars, Motorex, Pirelli Tires, and Bell Helmets.” The day turned out perfect weather-wise and the racing couldn’t have been any more exciting.

Hagen triples wet Elko opener Elko, Minnesota - April 26 By Bob Chase Photos by Leslie Vanderwerf

nother wet day greeted the weatherweary District 23 riders, but the mud didn’t seem to slow Collin Hagen as he won three of the biggest classes of the day, 250C, Open C, and 14-24C. Nearly 200 entrants braved constant rain to participate in the first race of the year at Elko Motocross. This year, the Motokazie Dealer Series has expanded to three tracks. Besides the mainstays of Elko and Mankato, the series now runs at Midway Motocross Park, located in the southeastern corner of Minnesota. The owners of that track are taking a year off to attend to other matters, leaving the track in the capable hands of Motokazie. So far this year, Sunday precipitation has been the constant. The first event at Midway was snowed out. The next event there saw rain all day, leading to a muddy and shortened day. At Elko, after a beautiful week of sunny warm weather, the storm clouds headed in on Sunday morning and it rained in varying degrees for the rest of the day. They were able to get the first set of motos in, but much to the relief of all the mechanics and most of the riders, they decided to call off the second set. Today, knowing the track would get worse as the day went on, the first race of the day was called to the line as soon as possible. The second moto was 250C, the first race for Collin Hagen. Jessica Hadler grabbed the early lead over Jeremy Dewall, while Hagen fought through the roost towards the front. By the end of lap two, he was in the lead and pulling away to victory. Hadler, who would

later win the Women’s class, was a solid second over hill climbing star Aaron Prebe, Jimmy Heidebrink, and Conner Cunningham. With only a race between, Hagen went to the line for the 14-24C moto, where he again quickly made his way to the front on his Berms and Blacktop supported Yamaha, this time finishing in front of Cunningham, Prebe, Anthony Suarez, and Tyler Sandback. The Open C moto was a few races later, where he completed the three-class sweep. The smaller bikes had to work that much harder in the mud, but that didn’t seem to lessen the turnout of the 85cc classes. In Supermini 12-15, third generation district rider, Devin Donaho, pulled the holeshot with his Pat’s Auto Collision YZ85, to keep clean early. Jacob Martin thumped into the lead by the end of lap one and pulled away for the win. Donaho stayed solidly in second, followed by Iowa’s Daniel Fliehe, Chase Becker, and William Dorow. No one else was able to win three classes, but several riders did the double. Garret Strege won 65cc 7-9 and 65cc 7-11, Shane Rhode topped Schoolboy 12-16 and 125 12+, Joe Perron took 250A and Open A honors, Andrew Rutledge won 250B and 14-24B, and Robert Kohl sloshed to wins in +25 and 30A. The series is supported by sponsors Ziegler Cat, Cities Edge Sports, Delano Sports Center, Hitching Post Motorsports, and Waconia Powersports.

Horton, Hofmaster split wins Mendota, Illinois â&#x20AC;&#x201C; May 9 By Nikki Dixon

ver 370 entrants packed the Tri County Fairgrounds for round two of the Megacross Shootout Series. The track had some changes, including a new timing section with three tabletops in a row. Motocross style ruts developed in a few turns, and in a couple of soft sections, making for different lines and more passing opportunities. There were lots of full classes and exciting racing through the entire race order, including the Thumper and Vintage classes, which run at selected Megacross rounds. The expert classes were stacked, with Roy Horton and Tommy Hofmaster sharing the wins. First year A class rider Daniel Sanders led the 17-rider 250A main event through the first turns, but Horton and Hofmaster quickly moved into the one-two spots, chased by Sanders, Kyle White, and Jared Schudel. Four-stroke mounted Horton opened up his lead, while 250cc two-stroke mounted Hofmaster held off Sanders. Derek Whitney was on the move, Reese Miller topped both 14-24 and 125cc two-stroke.

climbing into the fourth spot by lap four of seven. Horton sprinted ahead for the win, with Hofmaster, Sanders, Whitney, and White completing the top five. Vaughn Mays, who is another A class rookie, grabbed the holeshot in the 17-rider Open A main, trailed by Hofmaster and Horton. Hofmaster took over the lead on the first lap, followed by Mays, Horton, Justin Kelly, and James Garrett. Horton worked on Mays for three laps, eventually moving into second through the turns before the finish. Hofmaster charged to the checkers for the uncontested win, with Horton securing second, and Kelly rounding out the podium. Whitney moved up to fourth, followed by Schudel. Mays ran into problems late in the race, and dropped outside of the top ten. Hofmaster also topped the 13-rider +25A class, but Greg Braet made him work for it. Braet picked up the holeshot, trailed by Hofmaster and Jason Kloptowsky. Hofmaster chased Braet for a few laps, with Braet taking Hofmaster a little wide in the new three tabletop section,

Jason Kloptowsky finished second in +30A and third in +25A

and Hofmaster going off the track. Hofmaster regrouped, and answered back with an inside line over the step-up to pass Braet for the lead. Hofmaster captured the win, over Braet, Kloptowsky, Burton Lavens, and Everett Dahlberg. The Thumper class (adults on 80cc-150cc air cooled thumpers), which runs at selected Megacross events, had a huge turnout with 15 riders. And every position was up for grabs, as no rider finished in the same spot in both the heat race and main event. Heat-race winner Nicholas Broll grabbed the main event holeshot, but John Conley moved into the lead on the first lap, trailed by Nicholas Broll, Dylan Broll, Dean Holmstrom, and Ron Daugherty. Holmstrom passed into third mid-race, but hare scramble specialist Mark Spizzirri was on the move, slicing through the pack. As the checkered flag flew, Conley took the win, with Nicholas Broll, Spizzirri, Holmstrom, and Dylan Broll completing the top five. The Vintage class made its Megacross debut, and is also run-

ning select rounds. Kurt Stuart had a good jump out of the gate in the inaugural main event, but Theodore Horn cut inside in the second turn for the lead, with Stuart, John Bacher, Brandon Wise, and Mitch Winder in tow. Horn opened up his lead after a couple of laps, while Bacher and Stuart mixed it up for second, with Bacher getting the edge. The crowd enjoyed seeing the air cooled and mostly dual-shock equipped machines race around the stadium style track, and were quite impressed by both the bikes and riders. In the Quad A main event action, Stephen Schenk and Jason Wehrli were side-by-side through the first turn, with Wehrli moving out front around turn two. Heat race winner Zach Harris had a bad start, but sliced through the pack to catch second place Schenk. The top five ran a close race. On the final lap, Harris railed the outside on the berm before the new three tabletop section, and put a clean pass on Schenk through the jumps. Wehrli carded the win, with Harris, Schenk, Jeremy Beetz, and CYCLE USA, June 2009

Collins, Danielle Grigoletti piloted her RM85 to Evensen, and Shane Reilly rounded out up the the Girls class holeshot, with Kayla Miller, top five. Lanaea Malak, Kelly Christman, and AlexanLogan Skaggs and Robbie Hyson traded dra Kassal in tow. Grigoletti kept her lead, wins in Supermini and 85Sr. In Supermini, while Malak pulled side-by-side to Miller on Skaggs led the 18-rider class through the first lap two, and passed Miller for second through turns, trailed by Hyson and Tanner Porter. Skthe section leading into the rutted left-handed aggs stayed out front for a couple of laps, but turn. But Malak later had bike troubles, resulting in a DNF. Grigoletti cruised to the checkered flag, with Miller and 85Jr winner Dylan Boyd. Christman rounding out the podium positions. Right after winning the Girls class, Grigoletti hopped on her KTM 65 for the 65 Senior main event. Nick Wallace started out front, followed by Chance Trigalet, Grigoletti, and RJ Mackenzie. Grigoletti quickly moved into second behind Wallace, and the two pulled away from the pack to finish one-two. Nicholas Lorenz reeled in Trigalet on the last lap to finish third, trailed by Trigalet and Mackenzie. Tyler Collins had the holeshot in the 15-rider 50 Senior class, but Robert Copenharve came inside and rubbed a little plastic with Collins to move into the lead. Copenharve and Collins then ran in the first and second spots, chased by Tyler Evensen, Shawn Thompson, and Jacon Wain. Copenharve stayed out

Wilson tears-up World Mini Las Vegas, NV - April 13-19 By Dick Goodwin Photos by PrimeActionImage.com

f anyone was holding out for a hero - it would have to be this year. Depression was on. People were out of work. And, of course, ridership is down at all motocross events worldwide. But, take hope, things will get better, and at this year’s 38th annual World Mini Grand Prix, most of the best amateur motocross racers in the country still managed to gather for the ultimate test of racer skills. Of those special racers, one stood out. Kawasaki-mounted Dean Wilson rocked his competition by capturing all four Pro titles in an almost perfect display of dominance. Wilson, setting new track records, won seven of eight motos (his only blemish - a “second”), on his way to dominance seldom seen at such a huge National race. His competition was top-notch, from KTM’s Tommy Week to Blake Baggett, Tyler Sjoberg, Christian Craig and others, but Wilson was up to the task. Coming from behind, or shooting out front, Dean made it all work, and at the end of the week, there was no doubt who was the best. Dean Wilson made this year’s World Mini Grand Prix his own. Often, at the major amateur national races, the top Intermediate racers can be as good, if not better, than anyone else in attendance, including the Pro riders. Not this year, Dean Wilson took care of that. That didn’t mean that there wasn’t a number of very fast Intermediates on site. The best of these was New Mexico hotshot Jason Anderson. The KTM star overcame poor starts, first-turn wrecks and general bad karma early in the week to claim two out of four titles - and looked like the fastest Intermediate - period. Jessy Nelson, Brad Frace and Landon Currier gave him fits, but he overcame all. The biggest little guy. The “Dean Wilson” of the smallest ranks if you will, was Jordan Bailey. The “Florida Flash” copped four titles (in five tries) to put him on the radar of teams - before he can even reach the counter. Behind Superman Bailey - Texas’s Drew Drennan, Arizona’s Tanner Amarillas, and Utah’s Garrett Marchbanks were holding off many fast racers from all over the United States (and several foreign countries) to claim well-earned runnerup positions. The Women’s ranks were alive and well also. Jacqueline Strong was great - winning Women’s Pro, while Jennifer Burton took the Non Pro and Girls and classes. Can you spell crazy? The big bike Novice divisions are mostly like that. Good enough to run up front - bad enough to crash. Castro Valley, California’s Mark Braden cinched up all the nonsense, as the Honda hotshoe ripped off three titles, and still managed a fourth in his bad outing. Canada’s Kat Ship-

Dean Wilson simply dominated the national event.

ley, Utah’s Dusty Humphries and California’s Steve Davies secured the runnerup spots, while Honda-mounted Chris Carillo took the only title that Braden couldn’t win. We haven’t mentioned the Minicycle ranks. One word - Cianciarulo. The Florida fast guy smoked the competition on his way to two titles - Ho Hum - another day at work. Zachary Bell, Cooper Webb and Matt Bisceglia all took titles in the 85cc ranks, while Cole Thompson put that Honda out in front of two 85cc classes. Maryland’s Alexander Frye and West Virginia’s Steven Gretchen swapped trophies in the 85cc Thru 11 classes. Old Guys - Wild Willie Surratt, remember him? He took the over 40 Pro class, leading Jon Zahrt and Darrin Hoeft. Washington’s Yamaha ace Landon Currier won the 250 4-Stroke Non-Pro clash, while Honda-mounted Jessy Nelson took home honors in the 250 Stock Intermediate contest. Luke Purther put KTM in the winner’s circle for Jr Cycle Stk (9-11), while Sean Cantrell dropped another orange bike in the Mod version. I’m running low here, but the scariest name in racing just copped the Jr Cycle Open (6-11) crown. Thunder Ralston (yes, “Thunder”) also managed a fourth in Mod (9-11). Finally, and lastly, the little bitty guys. “Stylin’” Stilez Robertson. Learn to spell his name. Two titles in 50cc (Under 6). I have a feeling he’ll be around for a long Local rider Larry Davis had two top seven finishes in his 50cc classes. time. CYCLE USA, June 2009

JD Rocks Ruff E Nuff Enduro Pearson, Wisconsin - May 17 By Ken Schuck Photo by Brian Mullane

D Friebel returned to his “home base” to take top honors at the 2009 Ruff E Nuff Enduro. JD rode, and helped work on the enduro back in his teens, but has been riding more Hare Scrambles in recent years. It was an all day battle between JD and Overall A winner Nate Ferderer. Nate was the winner of the Hare Scrambles held on parts of the same course on Saturday. So apparently, not all Hare Scramblers need a MX track with doubles to ride fast. JD and Nate dropped identical scores in each segment of the Start/ Restart format used for the enduro. The first section was tight, technical singletrack that included the biggest “rock garden” of the course. The Pearson terrain consists of rocks in the trail, rocky trails, and then rock gardens (all rocks all the time). Both riders dropped 8 points in this technical section. Meanwhile in B class ultimate winner Adam Less dropped 12 points to Steve Laituri’s 13 in the first section. C class had an equally close contest. Top C rider Zach Hernfindahl dropped 19 and his closest competitor Rebekah Less also dropped 19. Section 2 was a more open section with some two-track old logging roads and more open trails. JD and Nate both dropped 3 points here. Adam Less gained another point on Steve, dropping only 6 to Steve’s 7. Zach and Rebekah tied with 12 points in the section. After a larger reset at the gas stop, Section 3 was a mix of tight single track and some open two-track, but with some remnants of clear cut logging provided a good challenge. A riders, JD and Nate, lost 6 points each. B riders, Adam and Steve, switched with Steve dropping 7 points to Adam’s 8. In C class Zach was able to gain on Rebekah with only 12 lost compared to 14. This was the end of the Enduro for B and C riders. Adam Less claimed Overall B hon-

Grand Champion J.D. Friebel (L) with Pete Laubmeier who created the special award.

ors with a total of 26 points lost, beating Steve Laituri who dropped 27. Zach Hernfindahl ended the day with 43 points for Overall C honors. Rebekah Less showed the gentlemen riding in C class the fast way but came up 2 points shy finishing with 45 points dropped. The Madison Motorcycle Club raised the speed average from 24 mph to 30 mph for the final 9 mile A only section. Again scores were tied. Enduros use a tiebreaker system that scores riders to the minute and second they arrive at certain checkpoints. JD beat Nate by 7 seconds using the tiebreaker to determine the ultimate winner. Thanks to the 73 riders that took on the challenge of the Ruff E Nuff terrain. Also, thanks to Moose RacPhone 630-782-2010 ing for providing the www.teammcc.com thousands of arrows

Gilberts Super Soaker Sunday Gilberts, Illinois - April 26 By Kathy Haselton & Patti Meo

espite the almost constant rain and the occasional rumble of thunder, over 30 riders participated in the Dist 17 trials sponsored by NITRO, on April 26. On the rolling hills of the old Indian Hills Equestrian Park, riders were challenged by the weather conditions, and eight difficult sections. The rain made each section more challenging than intended due to mud and slick conditions, with many new riders deciding to test their skills. Riders rode in classes that ranged from Youth up to Expert. Leading the way in the Expert class was Tim Harker, edging out Sven Bley and Alain VandeWalle. In the Sportsman class, Tom Littlefield came out ahead in a tight competition over Charlie Shanks, Tony Meo and his brother Ralph Littlefield. The Advanced class had Rob McGee at the top.

In the Intermediate class Eric Cunningham took top honors over Kevin Huber, James Voightlander and Bob Wrobel. The Vintage class has the biggest turnout and David Gunn led the group, narrowly beating Scott Wiewiadowski by one point. Two Senior riders competed

in a tight loop, with Alan Evans coming out ahead of Dan Maupin. The Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group had four riders. Sara Pranskunas prevailed over Kathy Haselton, Jennifer Maupin and Patti Meo. It was great to have Sara back riding after a years absence. In the new class of Dual Sport, we had two riders. It was very difficult to control their powerful bikes on such a muddy course, yet both riders tied with 10 points each. With two new riders filling out the Youth class, first time rider Cory Wallenrich won over Luke Littefield and Lance Gulotta, who was also riding in his first trials. Good job guys! It was a wild and wet day in

Gilberts. A good time was had by all, and the only injuries were the muddy bikes.

700 Plus at Millville Opener Millville, Minnesota - May 3 By Mike Quinn Photos by Gregg Wolfe

he Spring Creek opener was host to 703 entries to start the 2009 season in a big way. Perfect weather, full gates in the 250 and Open A classes, and the usual well prepped track made for a great racing weekend. Watching the action in the deeply stacked A classes was better than watching some Pro Nationals. It was close racing with Gavin Faith, ex pros Chad Pederson and Craig Decker, along with Dalton Carlson, Devin Reed, and Nick Jackson setting a furious pace. Faith got good starts in all of his motos and was the rider to beat in the Premier classes. Moto one in Open A gave Jackson some trouble as he went down in the infamous Millville whoops and rode like he was possessed to work his way back to six. Meanwhile Decker worked his way into second and started to close the gap on Faith only to run out of laps. At the checkers it was Faith, Decker, Carlson, Clemens and Pederson. Pederson told us he was getting in shape and preparing for Loretta Lynn’s in August. If his debut in the Open A against these incredibly fast kids is any indication the Vet classes at Loretta’s could provide some great racing. Moto two saw Faith with another great start while Jackson moved into second and tried to find a way around Faith. As the moto progressed Faith managed to build a small cushion on Jackson while Reed followed in a close third. Fourth place went to the hard charging old man Pederson with Carlson coming home fifth. On the day it was Faith,

Jackson, Carlson, Pederson and Decker. These motos provided some of the best racing we have seen in a while. The 250A motos again belonged to the Honda of Gavin Faith as he went 1-1 for another overall win. Moto one was saw Carlson putting early pressure on Faith before he settled into second, Hunter Clemens came home in third, McCabe fourth, and Iowa’s Devin Reed in fifth. Moto two was another wire to wire ride for Faith, with Jackson second, Reed third, Carlson, and Clemens filling in the top five. Jake Loberg took the overall in the highly competitive two heat 250B class. Loberg won the first heat while Jesse Went-

brother Alex Martin is going to have his hands full with this mini rocketship when he returns home after the first few outdoor nationals. Overall it was a great day for racing, the weather held up, and the track got rougher as the day went on, testing the racers conditioning. The A gates were full and provided extremely exciting racing. All the participants got a good work out and most of us found our training programs sadly lacking. By the end of the day you could smell the Ben Gay in pits and the first race stiffness set in. Stayed tuned and be ready for round three.

Jake Loberg took the overall in the highly competitive two heat 250B ... land took the win in heat two. The anticipated race between the two heat winners never materialized as Wentland struggled leaving Loberg alone and unchallenged at the front. The best spectating actually came in the Supermini and Schoolboy 12-16 classes. Jeremy Martin didn’t just win these classes he put on a riding clinic. Racing a 109cc Rockstar Makita sponsored Suzuki amateur ride in both classes, Martin won all four motos by at least thirty seconds. Martin was arguably the fastest racer on the track with lap times that were only a few seconds behind the fastest A racers on big bikes. It was a treat to watch this kid corner. He gives new meaning to the term cornering on rails. Big

Sandbox Flat Track season opener

Racing indoors was an exciting opportunity for the flat trackers. New Richmond, Wisconsin - April 25/26 By Michael Anderson

he AmsOil Sandbox has hosted many types of events since its opening in 2007, but this weekend was a first for two reasons: this was the Sandbox’s first AMA District 23 points race and its first Flat Track and TT race. The weekend started Friday night with open practice and ended Sunday afternoon with the TT races. This race

was a district 23 points race, but many racers came from Dist 16 as well, if nothing else to get in some early season bike time. There will be another race held later this year that will be a points paying race for both districts. Most racers loved the track for its layout and dirt, but what everyone liked most, hands down, was that it was indoors. Many racers commented that if the race had been outdoors they would not have made the trip due to the weather forecast. Many flat track races are

cancelled each year due to a little bit of rain that makes the track unable to be raced on for hours. One racer commented, “Racing your bike laid on its side, one leg extended out, four bikes wide in a turn in mud just does not work well. Bad things happen fast.” Even though it rained all weekend the track was perfect inside the Sandbox. There were many Grand National riders that showed up for the opener which made for some great racing. There was also a wide

variety of bikes. Everything from new 2009 four stroke 450’s and custom-made Harleys to 1980’s street bikes, converted to flat track racers. The greatest part of the weekend was the passion everyone had for their sport. I talked with racers over 50 who sounded like teenagers in their first year. At the same time, most people were laid back and easy to talk to. That said, when the light turned green, things got intense real fast. These racers were out to win, and did not give an inch on the track. The many soft blocks and hay bales positioned around the track took a beating from the numerous foot pegs and tires of fierce competitors. The Sandbox crew worked as hard as usual. They share the same passion for racing that the riders have and managed to put together a great weekend. This weekend left me looking forward to the next flat track race.

D23 Quad racing at Motocity The 450cc Production class off the start.

Staples, Minnesota - May 3 By Sally Anderson

think all that came out to either race or to support the riders would agree, this day turned out to be a beautiful day for a quad race. The sun was shinning, the temperature was perfect and there was just enough of a breeze to blow the dust away. The 70cc Production class turned up the heat today when they raced. This was a fun and fast paced class to watch and cheer on because the riders were very competitive on the track and switched things up quite a bit during the race. The first moto gave Caden Anderson the holeshot with Dominic Bartell and Ryan Anderson right him. Ryan played it safe until the very end where he caught Caden who had slid back to second after Bartell made a clean pass earlier. Ryan eventually caught and passed Bartell for the win. Moto two again gave Caden the holeshot with Ryan only inches from him into the first corner. Again Caden, Ryan and Bartell battled for the lead spot but it was earned by Bartell this round with second going to Caden. Michael Hartigan gave the 90 cc Modified class a challenge as he pulled off a first place win during the first moto. However, Hayden Mickelson was the one that pulled away and took the win in the second moto.

With that, there was a great battle between Hartigan and Luke Tyler for second place and Hartigan and Ryan Trout battling for third. The end results were Tyler finishing second, Hartigan finishing third and Trout finishing fourth in the second moto. Another on the edge of your seat class to watch. Overall Tyler prevailed and took home first place trophy for the day in this class. The 450 Production C class was one of the biggest classes today. With eleven entries, this was definitely a class to watch. Moto one wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too kind to many of the riders. With several unexpected break downs, crashes and errors due to pressure it was almost impossible to keep track of who was in what position. Jon Judge was lucky enough to be able to win both motos ahead of Adam Nelson and Kent Messing. This will be an interesting class to watch at up coming races if they continue to have that large number of entries. A special thanks to the Kadlec family for opening their track up to all that came and practiced on Saturday, camped over and raced and Sunday. They are always friendly, helpful and welcoming. Great job on the track and we hope to see all of you and more back at their track on June 14. Results: 50 Stk: 1.Logan Radunz 2.Christopher Leaym 3.Jenna Hagemann 4.Jos Jaworski 5.Nadison

Rife dominates Nuke opener Motosports Park Nuclear Series Byron, Illinois - May 10

fter the original season opener was rained out, this weekend, Mothers Day to be specific was the first Nuclear Series event of the season. Sponsored by Hammertime, it was a near perfect day, and a couple top Kawasaki riders were in attendance to add even more competition to the already fast field. If this event is any sign of what the rest of the season will hold, it is looking really good. The 2009 Nuclear season officially kicked off when the gate dropped for the 1424 class riders in their first moto. Wisconsin’s Gary Beeman led the way with Cesar Vega, Justen Hager, Nate Knottnerus and Trevin Simes in tow. Beeman held the lead into the second lap on his Kawasaki, then Vega found a way around in the track’s back section. At the same time, the other riders were sorting themselves out, the biggest gains being had by Knottnerus who had worked up to third, now ahead of Adam Tarara. The rest of the moto saw the leaders pull away some, and the positions stay the same with Simes rounding out the top five. Beeman led the class off the line in the second moto as well, but this time Tarara was running in second with Knottnerus third. Vega didn’t start the moto, and Beeman ran into problems late that caused him to not finish. Tarara’s first moto charge to fourth made

right on me the entire race, but I didn’t make all the difference as he won the second moto, any mistakes. I felt a lot smoother through the and his 4-1 was actually good for the overall corners this time. I like the track, and after ahead of Kottnerus’s 3-2 tally.

leading Whitney, Mays, and Sanders all the way to the end. Rife led from the start in the second moto as well, this time with Whitney ahead of Mays and Kress. They stayed in the same order to the end.

SuperMini had a great two way battle between Maxx Malatia and Joseph Dalzell. In the first moto Dalzell put his KTM out front and then spent every part of each lap trying to hold off the constant push by Malatia. Dalzell held on for the win in one of the closer moto long battles of the day. Just a tick back, Alex Nagy ran to the finish in third with Neys fourth. Malatia led all the way in moto two. Dalzell kept it tight, but just couldn’t find a way around the very quick leader. By the end of the second lap, Nagy, Neys, and Mackiewicz had shuffled into third through fifth where they finished, as they did in the first moto. DGY/ 4PR backed Malatia, “I got a better start in this second moto and then just stayed in front. I did all I could in that first moto and it was a good race. The track is a little rough, but really good. I need to get better at this type of track, so that’s why we came, and so far it is going good.” The 250C class was huge...

with thirty-seven riders on the gate for the start of the first moto. Barrington, IL’s Jacob Salingian led the first two laps before sliding back to a respectable fourth at the end when Brandon Simes made a last lap pass for third. Leading after the second lap, Mason Flatness was in a fight with Zachary Masch. Flatness gave it his all, but settled for second behind Masch after a game of cat and mouse that went right down to the finish line. Answer Racing backed Flatness won the second moto hands down. “The first moto I had a fifth place start and really had to work to get up to second. I was really pushing in the corners. In this moto, after Zach had his spill, I was alone. A good start made a big difference. The track is really good, and there’s lots of traction so it made it a lot of fun.” As Flatness led from start to finish, Masch ran in second early, then fell back to third behind Salingian. It took Masch until the last lap to re-take second, good for second overall behind

Flatness. Simes also made good use of the last lap to get by Salingian to lock down third overall. “Madd Maxx” Malatia had the right idea in the first 250B class moto, get out front, control the pace, and leave the racing behind... and he did just that. Also taking advantage of a good start, Christopher Antolak ran in sec-

ond all the way. Jacob Kelsey was most likely putting in some of the fastest lap times as he fought his way through the pack. By the third lap he had dropped Nicholas Latour back to fifth, and was all over Nick Neys trying to move into third. Neys had held the position since the gate drop, and did everything he

could to hold on... and it worked. Kelsey had a great run, but fourth was as good as he was going to get out of this moto. Hammertime backed Kelsey came back and won the second moto ahead of Malatia (1-2) for second overall with his 4-1 finishes. Antolak finished third, and third overall. Kelsey, “I got a really bad start in the first moto and then just couldn’t get around everyone. When I started to move up I tipped over on the last lap and finished fourth. I got the holeshot this time and did what I could to pull away and win. The track had a lot of ruts, and was good for racing.” Kelsey took full advantage of a great holeshot to walk away with the first Open B moto win.

Christopher Antolak ran in second all the way. Ryan Verachtert made a nice pass on Trevor Simes for third, only to have Nichols Latour pull off a fast outside move of his own to steal the third place spot away in the following lap. Antolak came back with a great ride in the second moto for the win and overall. Kelsey was trying to work up from mid pack, and maybe trying a little too hard as he hit the dirt hard, and wasn’t able to finish. Latour finished second for the moto and overall ahead of Verachtert. Also making the trip over to north central Illinois for some Kawasaki cash, Michigan rider John Grewe showed the vet classes the fast way around the track. The mitten state rider was

Aune prevails at Millville Millville, Minnesota – May 10 By Sally Anderson

or many mothers this Mothers Day was in Millville, MN cheering for their racer in one of the D23 quad classes. The 90cc stock class started it out for the day with the holeshot going to Gavin Rowland in moto one. Luke Radunz saw an opportunity and took a chance that paid off to take the win for the first moto. Moto two proved yet again that Rowland wanted the first place trophy, as he pulled off another holeshot. Radunz wasn’t going to settle for second, and once again took the lead shortly after and then went home with the win. Next up was the 50cc stock class. With many new quad riders this year, this class is always fun to watch as you never can tell what these little riders are thinking, let alone going to do out on the track. Holeshot for moto one went to Logan Radunz with Jenna Hagemann not far behind. She kept on him through all the hills and corners, but just didn’t have the opportunity to take over the lead. Hagemann turned up it up a notch in the second moto and pulled from Radunz and the others out of the gates and never looked back. Hagemann won first place in the 50cc class with second being awarded to Radunz. What a great race to watch. I highly recommend that everyone take the time to at some point watch this group of riders and show them your support. The action packed 70cc class was last but not least on this Mother’s Day race at Millville. Caden Anderson started it out with the holeshot in moto one with Ethan Aune and Ryan Anderson rubbing tires from the time the gates dropped all the way through the first few corners. Aune and Ryan A. fought a great race and Ryan eventually prevailed with a quick move and passed Aune to take over the second place position. In no time, Ryan had caught Caden A. and the battle began again. Within feet of the checkered flag, Ryan slid into Caden causing the two quads to be tangled. By the time they recovered, Aune had crossed the checkered flag and won moto one. Caden and Ryan showed the crowd another exciting race in moto two. In the first whoop section it was again, side by side action which continued into the first corner and 54 CYCLE USA, June 2009

over the first few jumps. Ryan fell back and waited for the opportunity to pass, which came as they approached lap two. The win in moto two went to Ryan, but it was Aune the pulled off the first place position in the 70cc class.

Finley, Wagner victorious at Dutch Bloomingdale, Michigan - April 25 By Larry Witmer

utch Sport Park held their opening event for the '09 racing year this weekend. Track conditions were excellent until the Mother Nature turned ugly and started putting down heavy rain during the opening motos. Clear skies came out by the fourth moto and the track started coming around before heavy rain let loose again. The event was stopped due to dangerous lightning prior to the tenth moto. The racing resumed, and the tenth moto of the day was the +45 division with Todd Stewart on his KTM pulling the holeshot over the field. James Binder and Steve Kluga traded the runner-up slot throughout the moto with Binder coming out on top. Second moto the field was lined up and Drex Akin, referee pulled the plug stopping the event due to more lightning. Stewart was the winner via the one moto status and probably happy not having to take to the muddy track. Dillion Finley took the win in the Schoolboy 1 division over rival Lucas Lowe after some great racing by these young speedsters. Finley took the opening holeshot on his Yamaha followed closely by Lucas Loweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Arkansaw Hare Scramble Arkansaw, Wisconsin - May 10 By Jennie Carpenter

chilly race morning surrounded the Arkansaw Cycle Park for the combined District 23/ 16 Hare Scrambles. The weather couldn’t make up its mind whether to let the sun shine or let the clouds linger with the usual dose of rain drops that always seems to christen the track. For most of the day it was quite windy and cold, but “just right when you were out racing”, said Mark Vanderwerf. Many talented riders such as Matt Stavish, Dylan Debel, Craig Holasek, Kyle Nelson and even Lee Erikson graced the track with their race skills. Arkansaw is known for its rigorous downhill’s and supreme moto track. Considering the way the economy is now days, the attendance at Arkansaw was very surprising. Parking filled rapidly and the race lines were packed with revving bikes. Trail Boss Quentin Bloomberg had a full day of races to follow through on. Starting with the youth races at 8am, following was the C race and then the two hour A/B race. Peter Graves, Kyle Nelson, Matt Stavish and Dylan Debel were the guys to get in seven laps during the big bike event. These four separated themselves from the rest of the riders with a huge gap. Lee Erickson was racing an old KDX200 and continues to prove no matter how old the bike, you can still perform at your best. Lee ended up taking an impressive third place in 250A. Senior A rider, Scott Reschke had his first race of the season at Arkansaw. “When the gun went off, I was a little slow off the line and down the straight, so I didn't let go of the throttle as quick as the rest of the pack. I went high on the big berm and pinned my KTM 250 towards the mud. The only ones left in front of me were Ron Bretheim and Dave Grunklee. We had fun hootin and hollerin at each other through the remainder of the MX track. Then two turns before heading up the big rocky hill, I made the pass for the lead. My new Dunlop's were hookin' up real good out there (I always wanted to say that). By lap four when the course had turned into a slot car track, things went a little south for me. Approximately a mile from the finish, while traversing my way down to the moto track one

last time, I got a front flat. All I had to do is make it through one more turn but the front tire washed out again, and I dumped it right in front of everybody. I remounted and kick started my bike so fast to beat him there, and it worked,” commented Reschke. Scott never gave up during the race which placed him 8th in Senior A along with his buddies Ron Brethiem in 7th, and Dave Grunklee in 9th with only a couple

Lee Erickson finished third in 250A on his KDX200.

Fun Valley Double Header Montezuma, Iowa - May 23/24 By Mark D. Bonnell Photos by Miss Thede

un Valley Moto-X held another great double-header on Memorial Day weekend, even considering a brief mid-day downpour that moved through on Saturday. With both ATVs and motorcycles on the schedule for the day’s racing, it was important that the events stick to schedule. And that’s exactly how the day started with the riders meeting at 9:00am and practice starting immediately after. Everything was going as planned until the skies opened up for nearly an hour of track watering. After the rain ended, the crew reworked the track, sent the Open A class out for a couple of laps of practice and the races were soon back underway. On Saturday, the Quad C class had two great motos with a lot of action no matter where you looked. Cody Moline managed to win both motos by getting good starts and riding smart. Moline was able to stop early moto charges by Randy Holliday and Justin McDonald in moto one, and those of Brent Clark and Zack Kuebler in moto two. Clark’s 2-3 finish earned him second for the day ahead of McDonald’s 2-3 motos. Holiday’s solid 4-4 finishes bested Kuebler’s 8-5 finishes for fourth and fifth respectively.

CYCLE USA, June 2009

Saturday’s 250A class proved to be exciting, not because there was a great amount of passing, but because all of the riders were riding at such an incredible rate of speed and desire. Kurt McCabe won both motos, but had his hands full as Teddy Maier did his best to recover from an early bobble in moto one. Maier was able to catch McCabe in the lower section of the track, but McCabe pulled away as the riders made their way through the whoops and larger jump sections on the top portion of the track. For the day in the 250A class, it was McCabe with the overall with Maier taking second place honors. Colin Hickman, Tyler Duncan and Jake Liekweg rounded out the top five. The large amount of riders and the rain delay kept the races going well past seven in the evening, but no one seemed to mind since it was a holiday weekend and that most were going to be there again the next day. Sunday started off with sunny skies and that’s pretty much the way the day continued. Sunday’s program also included both ATVs and motorcycles, so again the program got underway at 9:00am as planned. Sunday’s 250B class was one of the weekend’s best. Kody Pirie was able to pass early moto one leader Justin Klien by the end of the first lap in moto one. Klein and Evan Quail had a great battle going for almost two laps. Quail was able to jump to the inside as the riders made their way to the top of the huge hill and displace Klein

for second. While Quail was on the gas, it was too late for him to catch Pirie. Moto two again saw Klein, Quail and Pirie out in front at the start. Once again Pirie slowly pulled away from the field as the moto wore on. As the scores were tallied for both motos, it was Pirie with the win. Klein’s hard charging style earned him second for the day ahead of Quail. Kurtis Kinneman and Shay Moore rounded out the top five. The Quad A classes were also very exciting to watch. Cameron Reimers and James McNaul traded the lead and moto wins in both the Quad A class and the Quad A Production. Reimers ended up with the day’s win in the Production class and McNaul took the win in Quad A. The holiday weekend proved to be nearly perfect for racing at Montezuma, Iowa’s Fun Valley Moto X facility with a great group of racers, a great group of track workers and a little luck with the weather.

Reed, Boyd, rock Log Road LLQ Coldwater, Michigan - May 9/10 By Bart Newman

ith strong ties to the Cycle USA rider base and a long tradition for solid events, the pits filled with riders from not only Michigan, but from across the Midwest. Whitewater, Wisconsin rider Mike Duclos was on hand and Duclos took the +35 class overall on both Saturday and Sunday, putting down a pair of great rides each day. In Saturday’s 250A action it was the Kawasaki of Devin Reed out front early, setting himself up for a good chance for the overall. Reed put away the field in moto one, as the friendly Iowa rider was steady and smooth throughout the five lap affair giving him first pick in moto two. Brett Wagner was next to cross the line with Austin Haught, Ivon Hays and Broc Peterson rounding out the top five in the fastest class of the day. In moto two it was Peterson out front as the field rounded turn one with Greg Durivage, Wag- Derrick Boyd came with his own cheering ner and Reed in tow. section. Durivage displaced Peterson early in the moto and was on a terror as the Championship Powersports rider was looking to revenge a first moto tenth. Reed and Haught went after Peterson as well, and soon it was three way battle for the runner-up spot. Durivage (10-1) won the second moto going away after a great ride. Haught (3-2) edged Reed in the second moto but it was Reed (1-3) bringing the overall back home as Haught was the runner-up with Peterson (54) the last rider on the box. The Log Road track was in great shape in spite of Mother Nature’s best efforts as winds were steady and strong all day. On Sunday the racing action heated up even further as there was great action in a number of classes. Middlebury, Indiana rider Jett Janowski was the man to beat in the 65 79 class, and not one rider in the field was up to the challenge. Janowski (1-1) is no stranger to the Log Road facility and it showed as the sixty assassin topped both Tait Morrissey (22) and fellow hosier Brandon Groves (3-3). Derek Boyd brought along his pretty cheering section and it paid off as the Willow Hill, Illinois rider started the weekend with 60 CYCLE USA, June 2009

the goal to win the 250C Modified class, and he did just that. Boyd (1-1) used good starts and a mistake free day to secure a spot at the regional. Dalton Armour (3-2) and Brandon Dickson (2-3) chased Boyd in both motos while battling with each other. Armour came out second as he was able to make a pass on Dickerson stick, winning the fight in the all important second moto. Austin Brack lined up in the 450B Modified class with a slight disadvantage, running a 250F. Brack didn’t win either moto, but speed and consistency sometimes works out better than too much speed and soil samples.

Michael Lang (1-11) took the first moto win but it was not an easy win as Brack was on the gas all moto long but couldn’t find a way round Lang. Tim Walker crossed the line third with Paul Jeffery and Chase Sims rounding out the top five. In moto two Sims (5-1) bettered his score by four as the Kawasaki lad made the trip from Arizona pay off. Brack crossed the line in the runner up spot once again, but it was all he needed for the overall win. Jeffery (4-3) crossed the line in third giving the Canadian racer a podium finish for his efforts. A few special Mothers support their racers on Mom’s Day and both racers and Moms were out in force all weekend making the Log Road’s Loretta Lynn’s Mideast Area Qualifier the biggest in the mitten state as over 875 entries tested there skill and speed. Thanks to everyone that came out and we hope to see you at the Log Road MX Great Lakes Championships coming June 27th and 28th featuring factory contingencies from Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki.
