Nuke Series catches a break A Byron, Illinois - July 11

fter a string of rainouts and bad weather for Nuclear Series events, this mid-July race finally caught a break, and the Motosports Park crew delivered a perfectly prepped track on a beautiful day for racing.

The Hill track was redone, and running in reverse, and more changes were mixed into the Legacy track as well.

It was just another great day #324 Cody Gunnel and #864 Daniel Keefe lead off the start in 250C. to be at the races, and everytried to pull away, Hefty lost a few spots while one seemed really happy to be part of it.

Michael Gowe and Wisconsin’s Thomas ConStarting the action off on the Legacy track roy were fighting their way forward. Julseth for the day was the +30B/C class, with a would lose a little ground on the leader, then dozen riders. Jeremy Barone pushed his close it back up. This continued to the last lap Kawasaki hard into the first turn to grab the when he made a real run at Barone for the holeshot, just ahead of Randy Julseth and lead. Keeping control of the race, Barone Yamaha mounted Marcus Hefty. As Barone couldn’t be shaken and took the win. Gowe worked up to third as Michael Namowicz had a good ride finishing fourth ahead of Conroy.

First moto winner Barone made life challenging for himself in the second moto starting in fifth behind Julseth, William Anderson, Gowe, and Hefty. It took three laps, but Barone pulled himself up to the lead spot as the other riders all sorted themselves out as well. Julseth and Gowe finished 2-3 again.

Anderson finished fourth after a first moto DNF. Thomas Conroy rode well for a 5-5 set of motos to take fourth overall.

Thirteen riders came off the gate in the first 85Jr moto as Jono Mandelke led the way.

Right from the first turn Mandelke and second place Nick Wallace began establishing themselves as the front runners. They opened a small gap on Jarred Berggren who also earned a little breathing room on the other riders by the end of the second lap. Up front, Licas Filips won the 50Sr class.

Wallace was all over Mandelke, and never let up. Mandelke did a great job of protecting lines, and riding fast enough to keep Wallace out of the lead.

It was a great battle that went right to the end of the moto as Mandelke took Scott Gilbert on his way to second in Quad C.

#784 Kody Smith and Maximillian Richter in the 125cc class.

the win. Austin Macias started in sixth, quickly moving up to fifth, and then passing RJ Mackenzie mid-moto for fourth.

Mandelke had big problems right away in the second moto, taking a heartbreaking DNF. Wallace didn’t mind as he had a clear track ahead of him all moto for the win and overall. Mackenzie improved on his first moto fifth, finishing second, as well as second overall. Macias, Gage Pace and Berggren rounded out the top five in the moto.

In the 85Sr class it was all the #19 of Jordan Mackiewicz leading both motos to a perfect 1-1 overall ahead of Jason Mack and Damon Tatar. Mackiewicz also finished second in the SuperMini class (1-2) after swapping moto positions with KTM fast guy Kyle Nelson.

The 250A class was on the small side today, but the racing was still exciting for everyone on the sidelines. Daniel Sanders got out of the gate quick on his Suzuki to take the early lead.

Before the opening lap was half finished, James Garrett found a way around Sanders for the lead. Sanders wasn’t about to give up, and two laps later he charged back into the number one spot and held it to the checkered flag.

Jacob Kelsey ran in third the entire moto.

Sanders came back in the second moto to get the win and overall. This time, Kelsey stepped it up to finish second for second overall as Garrett had a rough moto finishing fourth behind Justin Hager.

When the Vet riders hit the track at a Nuke event, you can usually expect to see Juda, Wisconsin’s Roy Nafzger in the mix of riders out front. In the first +40 moto, McHenry, IL’s Scott Rhoton jumped into the lead before getting bumped to second on the hill section

by Tim Filips. Nafzger was third after he slipped by Jeff Patel and Jason Dollas. As the riders came towards the finish line area, still in the opening lap, Nafzger passed Rhoton for second. Filips was on the gas, and Nafzger was matching his pace through each lap. At the finish they were still very close, with Filips taking the win. Rhoton held on to third ahead of Patel and David Baraconi.

One thing about Nafzger is he’s figured out you don’t need to win first motos, as much as you need to finish well enough to have a shot at taking the overall via the second moto. In the +40 second moto Nafzger jumped out and led every lap for the win and overall. Nafzger is known for coimg out stronger in the later motos. Filips unfortunately had a rough start and struggled to get past a few riders and finish

Kali Wald and her younger sister.

second ahead of Rhoton and Dollas.

The 65cc class riders are always surprising fast on thier smaller bikes, showing talent often beyond their age. In the 65Sr class, it was a 1-2-3 finish in each moto with Austin Macias winning ahead of Zack Tatar and Jarred Berggren.

Justyn Mack won both motos of 65Jr ahead of Robert Copenharve. Behind them it was a battle for the next few spots in both motos as Licas Filips held off Aiden Kaiser for third.

Jimmy Weber finished fifth overall after going 7-5.

Cody Gunnel owned the first 250C moto right from the gate drop. Leading all the way, he still had plenty of pressure from behind, but never gave an inch to take the win. Daniel Keefe chased him ferociously until the last lap when he made a move to try passing Gunnel, and ended up going down. Keefe got going quickly, and back into second keeping his hopes for an overall intact. Ryan Kostner was in third until the second lap when he went down in one of the newer tight corners, dropping to eighth. Nick Kostner rode consistent and smart for third, just ahead of Jeremy Barone.

Keefe showed he had the necessary speed in the first moto, and used it to back up a second moto holeshot and run of for the win.

Gunnel started in second but then was bumped back to fourth after Barone and then Kostner moved up. Gunnel’s fourth place finish was still good for second overall as Barone took third.

Zackary Masch won the first 250B moto ahead of a great battle for the runner-up spot.

As Masch enjoyed the comforts of a good start and early lead, Robert Flatness, Cory Catalani and Thomas Garrett pounded each other most of the moto. In the end, Catalani finished second ahead of Garrett and Flatness in one of the closest races of the day.

Garrett after the second moto, “I just got the holeshot and didn’t make any mistakes getting the win. I felt better this time out and it worked.” Masch may have had to settle for

second in the moto, but he still won the overall. Catalani finished third in the moto ahead of Flatness. +50 had twelve riders, and while Nick Lazzaretto won the first moto on his Kawasaki, a rough second moto left him back in seventh for fourth overall. William Ziesk went 2-1 for the overall ahead of Todd White (3-3) and David Thomas (5-2).

As inconsistent as the weather has been this season for the Nuke events, A class rider Nicholas Vaughn out of Michigan has been untouchable so far. He has put together a consistent winning streak in both the Open A and +25A classes, going undefeated so far. This also has him clearly in the driver’s seat for the top prize in the series, with the season about half over.

Vaughn, “It was a really good day, and the track was great as well. I read about the series last year and there really isn’t many big

Cory Catalani was on fire in the B classes.

money races up by us (MI), so I thought if I could win the $3000 that would help pay my van off, so that’s what I’m working for. So far it has been going really good as I’ve won all my motos and overalls. I was kind of leary about the track before I first came, but it is a lot of fun and I like it. You just don’t know until you get to a new track for the first time, but this is good and really well run.”

Make sure to check out the newly released schedules for the Nuclear Series, as a couple rain dates have been added and we can now look forward to a couple double header weekends. There’s a lot of great racing ahead, but sure enough, it will all slip by before you know it.

The Legend Continues! The Lucas Oil Indy Mile AMA Pro Flat Track Grand National is ready to roar again at the legendary Indy Mile track at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis, Indiana on Saturday, August 28th. The Indy Mile returns as a featured event of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s Red Bull Indianapolis GP weekend.

Glorious memories of the Indy Mile go back for decades. Top riders have always highly coveted a win at this race, long considered the “Crown Jewel” of AMA Pro Racing’s oldest and most traditional professional racing series. After a hiatus that began in 1999, the race returned to the Indiana State Fairgrounds in 2008 to record-breaking crowds. In 2009, a near-capacity crowd again returned to witness another night of sliding, drafting and handlebar-to-handlebar duels at 100 plus mph speeds.

As a special treat in 2009, motorcycle racing legend “King” Kenny Roberts electrified the crowd with a no-holds barred, high-revving 3-lap curtain call on the infamous Yamaha TZ-750 he rode to victory in 1975. It was another “Indy Mile Moment” to be savored by fans for years to come.

Valentino Rossi and other top Moto GP riders cheered on Roberts while marveling at the skill of today’s flat track stars.

Harley-Davidson factory rider and three-time AMA Pro Flat Track Grand National Champion Kenny Coolbeth of Morris, Connecticut won the 2009 Lucas Oil Indy Mile main event in the Expert Twins class. J.D. Beach on a Honda won the AMA Pro Singles main event in 2009.

Tickets On Sale Now! Advance discount tickets available at the Indiana State Fairgrounds Box Office, any Ticketmaster location, www.ticketmaster.com or by calling 1-800-745-3000. For additional ticket information and web links please visit www.IndyMile.com.

Announcements, personal stuff, and....

From the Back of the Pack

By Mike Quinn, D23 Chairman Well the pro national is behind us and once again it was a great show. It was really nice to see our home state racers do well. Ryan Dungey’s performance was no surprise to those of us that have watched grow up on the track. He has so many positive things going for him, strong work ethic, strong family ties, and the desire to always improve. These are the qualities that make champions and of course it doesn’t hurt to have his kind of talent either. I was much more excited to see the privateers take it to the factory boys in both the 250 and 450 classes.

It was also nice to see Kevin Windham do so well.

He looked as good as any of the top racers until he ran out of body gas. The conditioning needed for many of this years nationals is incredible. To just jump on a bike and do as well as Windham did after a several month hiatus is very respectable.

Once again as I watched the 250 race I couldn’t help but think what the program would look like if there were even a little bit of equity in the class.

The top 8 bikes run Pro Circuit engines which cost a reputed $10,000 each and last for only four hours.

Alex Martin took a 2009 Honda to 8th place in moto one. How high would he have been on a bike that was somewhat equal to those factory bikes.

Then there was Kyle Regal’s performance. Total privateer effort, his dad bought that bike shortly before the season started. He took his privateer bike to a 4th overall, garnering a second in moto 2.

Makes you wonder how the season would look if he had all the advantages of the factory boys. For privateers to place this high against the tremendous odds they face is simply remarkable. Kudos to the privateers, the second class citizens of pro motocross. It takes all 40 racers in the class to make a show and only about 10 to 12 of them have a contract that pays enough for them to live on. The other 30 racers out there are losing money and paying their way out of their own pocket. That for me is what makes their high finishes so sweet.

to the entire crew that worked on the Spring Creek facility it looked awesome in person and on TV both.

On to other events, we still have many events remaining in our season over the next months.

Be sure to get yourself out there and signed up for some of them. Take the big step and try something new such as a trial ride or a hare Scrambles. The HS events so far this year have all been great events with good organization and fun courses laid out. Two hours of seat time and a good competitive field make these events hard to beat. Professional Dirt Track will be making a return to MN at Canterbury Downs the weekend of Sept 11, this should be a great show to take in.

District business is moving along as usual with nothing big to report. We had 2 gubernatorial candidates attend the pro mx event and they were slated to speak, but a gas station fire in a small town took out the electricity to most of Wabasha county so they were not given the chance to speak at the opening ceremonies.

Again thanks to Tom and Karen Umphress for getting them there and exposing them to the sport. Both candidates were very impressed by the entire event.

Our MX injury study is progressing well and we have met with Dr. Bodnar and the Asterick medical team to start a working arrangement with them as we proceed. It has been very rewarding for me to see the physicians learn about our sport and see them gain so much re-

spect for the athletes that race. It has been an eye opener for them in many ways. We are hoping to expand our study to the pro level by the time SX starts in January. In 3 decades of riding and racing I have never seen this kind of support by the medical field. Maybe we finally are coming into our own.

That is all the news I have for this month, I hope you all have a fun and successful August.

I also hope to see you at some of our many events. Mike Vet Series Opener rescheduled. Sunset Ridge has announced that the Season Opener will run Saturday August 14th. There will also be a vet only practice session on Friday evening. For more information see thier advertisement in this issue.

D15 Hare Scrambles additions. MidAmericaXC will be running events on 9/18 and 11/06. Check the D15 schedule for contact and location info.

Motosports Park schedules Nuke Series rain dates. August 21 and September 4. Both dates are Saturdays, with Sunday events already scheduled making for double header weekends.

Both dates have factory contingency from two or more manufacturers. Following the September 5th event, the annual awards banquet and party will be held.

Cycle USA Contributors Wanted! Are you looking to get more involved in the sport?

Maybe help cut the cost of racing this year?

Covering events may be the way. It takes a dedicated effort, but at the same time it can be a lot of fun, very rewarding, and many of the clubs and promoters are looking for the assistance. Some offer complimentary entry and gate fees to contributors as well. E-mail Chuck at chuck@cycleusa.com for more information.

Rock River Riders two-day Trials Polo, Illinois - June 26/27

By Kathy Haselton

T

he only thing better than a day of riding in a Trials event is a weekend of competing in back to back days of riding. The Rock River Riders Motorcycle Club in Polo, IL played host to two great days of riding on June 26 & 27.

NITRO (Northern Illinois Trials Riders Organization) put on the first trials of the weekend on Saturday, June 26. The grounds of the RRRMC were soaked by heavy June rains in the days leading up to the weekend.

Some muddy and water sections to swell became more challenging than intended.

Riders from all ages came out to ride. The youngest rider was only 8 and the ages ranged up to 75. The nine sections proved challenging for riders of all levels. Challenges in the sections included logs, rocks, cement slabs, hills, and plenty of mud.

Just hours before the second trials of the weekend was set to begin a roaring thunderstorm dumped buckets of rain on the already saturated grounds. Each of the 10 sections were set up completely different from the sections the previous day.

The rough weather quickly moved through and the rest of the day was picture perfect. The largest group of riders were the Novice group. Kerry Kimball came out on top with David Gunn and Tito Nappi rounding out the top three.

The Intermediate group had Kent Franklin finishing on top.

Tom Pickett was second and Jeff Franklin third.

Coming in first in the Advanced line was Eric Cunningham. Michael Brent was second.

There were three riders taking on the challenge of the Sportsman line. Sections for the Sportsman riders were set up to truly bring out the best in the riders. Ralph Littlefield prevailed over the group.

Alain Vandewalle put on quite a show in the Expert class.

At times he made the most challenging sections look easy. Spectators were treated to some awesome riding by Alain.

The Women’s group rode the same line as the Novice riders, while only riding one loop.

Kathy Haselton was the top rider.

Jennifer Maupin was a close second with Patti Meo finishing third.

Vintage riders are classified by the age of their bike, not the age of the rider. It is always fun

to watch such skilled riders ride the sections on these older bikes.

Brian Runyard came in first.

The Youth group had four riders. The youth ride the Novice line and they ride three loops.

This is quite a challenge for the younger riders. They all did and excellent job. Cory Wallerich was first in the group.

Mason French and Mitchell Littlefield rounded out the top three riders.

The Rock River Riders put on a wonderful weekend of riding! Thanks to all who volunteered to check sections. A special thanks to Bob Wrobel, Ralph Littlefield, Tony Meo, Dan Maupin, Randy Maupin and Kevin Huber for setting up the sections & for making the two day trials one of the best of the year!

McCabe holds on at Cedar Rapids

Muddy conditions played havoc on the 50cc riders during practice.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa - June 26

By Michael Sierens

M

other Nature dealt a cruel hand to the 300+ entries in attendance for round 4 of the Hawkeye Downs Motocross series, as the 90+ degree heat with little breeze drained even the strongest riders

on the gate. It was also a Ti-Lube and McGrath Motorsports contingency round, which always draws more riders looking to take advantage of the bonuses offered.

The gate dropped for the +25A riders with Kurt McCabe getting the jump on the pack of seven into the first turn with Robert Palmer and Reese Lauritzen following into the infield section.

Lauritzen made his way around Palmer as McCabe built a sizeable lead by the end of the third lap. McCabe checked out to an easy win with Lauritzen all alone in second. The final spot on the box was filled by Nick Bass, having moved up by mid moto.

Mike Clark led the way in the second gate drop as the +25B riders hit the track. DJ Norby, Jered Holker and Rochelle Charnowski rounded out the top four off the

start. Jon Fontana grabbed too much front brake as he endoed over the front of his bike charging into turn two. Holker waisted no time and moved his Yamaha into second before the end of the first lap. At the end of the second lap Clark held a comfortable lead over Holker as Charnowski was closing on Norby for third.

Holker put on a charge going after Clark, and began closing. He almost threw second place away when he put his Yamaha sideways through the whoop section on lap three. On the last lap Charnowski made her way around Norby for third, and up front the race for the win heated up. Holker pushed his Yamaha hard through the whoop section and came out off the last turn side by side with the race leader. Clark grabbed a handful of throttle and almost went down. The hard charging Holker moved into the lead over the last stepup to earn a very hard fought win.

Quad C Open had Austin Voorhees grabbing the quick jump off the gate to lead the pack of fourteen into turn one. Behind Voorhees was Trey Winkowitsch and Ethan Richenberger on his Yamaha.

Jake Greenslade hooked a rut heading into the whoop section and went down hard. He walked away but was unable to finish his race.

The start of the Quad A main event.

Voorhees had a comfortable lead by the end of the first lap, Winkowitsch and Richenberger in second and third. Harnish fighting was to keep her fourth place position as Tyler White and Travis Schluter were both looking for a way around. Harnish kept up the battle but was overtaken by both Schluter and White, dropping Harnish to sixth. Voorhees checked out to a twenty plus second victory.

The crowded stands were full of those waiting for the start of the 250A race. The heat race showed them a great battle between Kurt McCabe, Jeremy Kress and Bobby Hanson. It was Hanson who got the start and led the pack of ten through the first turn. Hanson has found some serious speed for 2010, and put lap number one into the books leading Kress and McCabe ahead of fourth place Josef Debower.

Kress started to put pressure on Hanson, showing him a wheel in every corner, and McCabe was all over Kress. The three riders were side-by-side over the back rhythm section. A panic rev by McCabe as he dropped the front end over the last jump by trying to suck it up to stay low. A risky move that paid off as McCabe went from third to first in one section. Kress knew he had to stay with McCabe so he quickly slammed the door on Hanson to move into second place. Two laps remained as Kress started to reel in McCabe. The fans in the stands were on there feet watching Kress as he started to put pressure on McCabe. Kress dove to the inside of McCabe and made contact in the final turn before the white flag lap, but Kress lost his momentum towards the step-up. This allowed McCabe to move out to a com-

fortable lead that he held to the checkers. A great race for Kress in second with the early leader Hanson rounding out the top three.

“Hanson came out swinging and Kress is always up front so I knew I had my work cut out for me” said McCabe after the race.

“I got a bad run through the whoops on the second to last lap and knew that Kress would be coming down the inside. I just held my line and powered my way through the rut and took the hit by Kress. I really want to thank everyone for helping me this year; Storm Lake Honda, Leo Vince, Vortex, RG3 Suspension and White Knuckle, Brian White motors, EVS, Moose and especially my wife!”

ick Smith from Beaver Dam was in a world of his own, having a perfect night of flat track racing at Aztalan’s June 19th event. Smith seized the holeshot in the Open Pro event and kept his lead until the end. Kyle Weise of Green Bay and Kyle Meiers from Escanaba, MI, were pressuring each other for most of the race while Smith pulled away to score the big win. Weise got second, only by inches, and Mark Will took fourth followed by Sergius Figliuzzi.

In the 450 Pros, they were racing to earn some funds, with Smith having an early lead and stretching a wide gap for the checkered.

Again, Weise and Meiers were battling most of the time but the final wasn’t as successful for Weise like it was in the Open Pro race.

Meiers had to work for his second place spot when the white flag was dropped. Smith made an impressive finish by doing a wheelie to show the fans how it feels to grab the best paycheck of the night.

Robbie Treinen timed his start perfectly and set his sights to score the checkered flag in the 505cc class. Two wide on the back straights and in turns three and four, David Schultz and Michael Schnur charged hard to fight for the second place position. Midway point through the chase, Schultz clawed his way to the front to challenge Treinen for the lead, but Treinen kept his rank to be awarded with the win.

The Youth 85cc class had six youngsters challenging each other. The top contender of the night was Charlotte Kainz of Milwaukee.

Kainz was out front with Jacob Jesko trying to make something happen in a fierce battle for the lead, with Parker Lange doing the same. The young lady made it look too easy, fighting through lapped traffic to take the win.

The top three finishers in the Youth Quad division all had something in common.

They all are named Tyler.

Tyler Jirousek of Mauston wasted no time to obtain the holeshot. They were sometimes two to three wide using their skills for an enhanced trophy. On lap four, Jirousek got wide and almost lost his lead to Tyler Schrimpf, but begged for more power to keep his position for the largest hardware in this class.

The atmosphere is pretty laid back at the Aztalan track

as the racers, families and fans really seem to enjoy the camaraderie of this exciting sport.

For the most part, the practice and heat races were fairly low key as the riders were saving their energy for the main events. Overall, the windy and cloudy afternoon made for a good night of racing.

Bach cruises at the Creek Greenfield, Indiana - July 10

T

he all new Mid America XC series has joined forces with AMA and District 15 in an attempt to increase the excitement of Midwest XC racing. Round two of the MAXC series was held on Saturday July 10th near Greenfield, Indiana. The weather and track conditions were near perfect for the bike races, but the Quads were greeted with a short burst of rain which helped reduce the dusty conditions.

The PeeWee race course was laid out in a relatively flat section bordering the parking and creek sections. Isaac Mull put on a great show taking the win in the Injector class on his “I-Man� Honda. Louden Felter cruised to a Premix victory while enjoying the conditions.

The mini riders ran a shortened version of the big bike course consisting of wide open field sections, two creek crossing and nice flowing woods. Luke Chilman and Zach Dubois battled early in the race while the 85cc

riders made every effort to close the gap. Austin Lee and Mike Witkowski were on a mission to catch the Super mini riders until Witkowski suffered an engine failure ending his attempt. Lee continued the charge eventually landing on the rear wheel of Chilman. Chilman and Lee both stepped up the pace, but neither could shake the other rider. In the end, Lee landed the overall victory by pushing it to the limit.

The 65cc riders enjoyed the opportunity to open the little bikes up and see just how fast they could really go. Dawson Dunnuck, Kayden Young and Vincent Smith pulled away from the rest of the pack. There were some early race lead changes, but Smith eventually gained a 30 second advantage and maintained it to the checkered flag. Young and Dunnuck continued to swap positions with Young edging out the second place finish by a mere four seconds.

The big bikes headed into the course through a maze of spectators on a blind uphill start. The course was extended from the earlier mini course and contains several natural rolling field jumps weaving in and out of the spectator area. The creek crossing were a popular hangout allowing inter-

esting action throughout the race. Christopher Bach, on a summer GNCC break, had little trouble taking the overall win and collecting the $1,000 purse being offered. Midway through the race though, Tyler Tischler had reeled Bach in and for a brief moment, had visions of stardom. Bach, realizing he was off pace, stepped in up a notch and pulled away.

Tischler landed the second place overall finished followed by Chris Douglas, Shawn Clark and Daniel Sims taking the final cash payout spots.

Kellogg MX 2 Stroke Challenge

Well over 100 riders took part in the special parade lap in memory of D23’s Ross Thompson.

Kellogg, Minnesota - July 18

By Jamie Theis Photo by Gregg Wolfe

K

ellogg MX hosted a District 23 Motocross race on July 18th, after the Spring Creek Nationals. The day was a special event dedicated to the memory of Ross Thompson, who passed away in 2009.

Ross had been a District 23 board member and advocate; and he was also known as a big supporter of 2 stroke motorcycles. To honor Ross, Motokazie included a special 2 Stroke Challenge to the day’s events, and a memorial parade during intermission.

The 2 Stroke Challenge consisted of a $1,000 purse split between the district’s 125cc 12+ class and an additional class for the day, Open cc 2 stroke only. The 125cc 12+ class had thirteen participants, all vying for cash and prizes. The top three finishers for the 125cc class were: Lucas Hegna of Austin, MN, who took home $175 in prizes, Tucker Mills of Montevideo, MN, who won $75 in prizes and Wyatt Krampitz of Waseca who won $50 in prizes. The prizes were donated

by Plainview Powersports in Plainview, MN and Motokazie.

In the Open cc 2 stroke class, eleven riders were racing for the money. Some of the state’s fastest riders were giving the 2 strokes a test ride, some for the first time, like Joe Perron of Elko, MN. Perron, who usually races a KXF450 and 250, borrowed a bike from Levi McMains for the special race. In the second moto it looked like Ben Graves of Dover, MN was going to take the first place finish like he did in the first moto. Graves was on his regular race bike, a Honda CR250, which gave him a big advantage over Perron, who finished second in the first moto. Perron, who had never raced a 250 two stroke was having a little trouble with the touchy acceleration of

the Kawasaki KX250. Graves led four of the laps in the second moto; but by the third lap Perron was right on his rear tire. It was pretty clear that Perron had finally figured out the two stroke and by the fifth lap he had taken Graves. It was some great racing and a real treat to see and hear those two strokes on the track.

Overall top five finishers were: Perron, Graves, Will Doane of Webster, Conner Cunningham of Hastings, and Chad Luhman of Mazeppa.

During intermission Motokazie invited anyone and everyone to put on a helmet and grab whatever machine they brought with them for a memorial parade lap. Lee Theis of Motokazie, introduced three special participants of the day, each riding one of Ross’ bikes - Michael Thompson (Ross’ brother), Mitch Evenson (Ross’ best friend) and Troy Nelson (Ross’ cousin and friend). Lee dedicated the memorial ride to Ross and talked about his life, and his involvement and dedication to racing. Just over 110 people participated in the one lap ride on the big track at Kellogg MX. The Thompson family was there to meet the racers and spend a special day at the track remembering Ross.

Monstrous Weekend at Red Bud

Erin with Ryan Dungey after he took the big win.

Buchanan, Michigan - July 3

By Pete Emme

P

erfect temperatures and pristine track conditions along with a monstrous and enthusiastic crowd was on hand for Round 6 of the Lucas Oil AMA National Motocross Championships at Red Bud, Michigan. An estimated 35,000 fans were in attendance, temps hovering around the 90 degree mark along with blue skies made Red Bud the perfect place to be on Independence Day weekend. With a surprise winner in the 250 class along with an outstanding mid-season performance by Makita/Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey in the 450 class... it doesn’t get much better than this!

In the first moto of the 250 class it was the Monster Energy Kawasaki and current series points leader Christophe Pourcel getting the holeshot with teammates Tyla Rattray and Dean Wilson in tow. It’s not good news for the rest of the pack when Pourcel is out front because the guy simply checks out. Rattray and Wilson battled hard as it was a sea of green out front. Another teammate, Jake Weimer moved into contention as he and the Yamaha of Broc Tickle would ensue in a battle, but Weimer got too close on one of the off cambers and slid out allowing Geico Powersports Honda rider Trey Canard to slip into fourth.

second ahead of Wilson, he endoed down one of the off cambered hill sections and did a faceplant into the Red Bud mulch, handing second to Wilson.

Rattray, a bit dazed, remounted to finish 11th.

Meanwhile, Canard had it in his sights and was super pumped to get the win and to go with that, he managed to muster the overall via 4-1 tallies. Wilson wound up second via his 3-2 scores. Ending up third was Pourcel with 1-5 finishes.

Townley assumed second, and made a few attempts to get around Dungey but couldn’t manage it. Reed was putting in some good laps and then got around Townley.

Finishing in the runner-up spot overall was Reed with a 2-2 tally.

Townley went 4-3 for third overall. Short got fourth with a 3-5, fifth went to Bret Metcalfe.

“The first moto was actually pretty good and I finally made a move on Short and then Townley and it was kind of back and forth and I hate to win like that because Ben was riding good, but I think it’s good for the fans and the sport when you can run with 4 or 5 riders up front like that,” said Dungey.

What a weekend of racing at Red Bud. In addition to the fine track and even better spectating of Red Bud’s finest, there was plenty of amateur racing action as they got to practice on

Thursday, race on Friday on the big track, race on the night track on Friday, watch the pro race on Saturday, race on the night track on Saturday and finally hit the full big track on Sunday.

grand day for gitter in Red Wing Red Wing, Minnesota - July 18

By Mike Nelson

T

hat’s Grand as in $1000, which was the prize money earned by Jared Gitter as the Top Eliminator at the Hill Drags hosted by the Indianhead Motorcycle Club of Red Wing, Minnesota. Over 50 riders filled double elimination brackets in five classes from 250cc to Open, along with an ATV class for a day of side by side Hill Climbing - Drag Racing action. Each class winner earned a cash payback along with the right to compete in the Top Eliminator bracket at the end of the day. The Top Eliminator was a single elimination with the top eight riders of the day competing for the $1000 grand prize.

Gitter earned his way into the Top Eliminator bracket by topping the 450cc class without a single loss in double elimination competition sending Mitch Koester to the losers bracket in the second round only to outdo him again in the final round and win the class. Gitter beat Luke Parmeter’s 250cc KTM in the first round of Top Eliminations.

The other riders in the final bracket included Jay Sallstrom ahead of Marcus Winch again, both on 600s, Brad Cain’s Open bike beating Joel Deircks’ ATV, and Mitch Koester on a 450 over his buddy and rival Logan Cipala, who got there on his 250.

Sallstrom earned his way to the Top Eliminator in the 600cc class by schooling youngsters Logan Cipala and Mitch Koester, each just a couple years removed from the mini classes.

He then edged out the number one rider in the nation, Marcus Winch twice to get the double elimination win.

In the semi finals Sallstrom continued his

winning ways against Koester to advance to the finals. Gitter had his hands full falling behind Cain out of the lights and nearly running off the hill looking for a clean line, but Cain got crossed up on the third breaker and Gitter grabbed the opportunity to pull ahead and put himself up against Sallstrom in the finals. The two squared off in the stage, got the nod from the referee and when the tree lit up, Sallstrom jumped the start getting a red light giving the win to Gitter along with that big cash prize. I think most would agree that Sallstrom had the bike to beat but that’s little consolation when the other guy walks away with all the cash.

Sallstrom will have a shot at redemption in late August when the Kato Cycle Club will host another Hill Drag on his home hill.

If you’ve never seen one of these events, you owe it to yourself to get out and watch these riders go side by side.

Quad riders heat-up Muddy Waters East Moline, Illinois - July 11

By Jordyn Minnaert

unday morning arrived with hazy skies. The air was hot and heavy even though the sun wasn’t shinning, but even that didn’t stop riders or spectators who made their way to the track early. The track came together well as the crew spent many hours prepping it before the event, and it was groomed to its finest.

The Quad A gate was full, and everyone was excited about seeing what we knew would be great racing. This was the largest class of the day. Zach Harris started everything off right charging into the first corner with the holeshot. A lap into it Harris was followed by Jason Wehrli and Ethan Pickard. The riders stayed close all the way through as Harris went on to take the win for the first moto.

Once again, Harris took the holeshot to start off the second moto followed by Wehrli, and Brandon Block running in third. By this time the sun was shining and the heat was even more dreadful. With two laps remaining in the moto, Wehrli made a big pass to get by Harris. Then in the final lap, through the back rhythm section Harris fell further back as Pickard came up for a great pass by Block. The checkered flag waved with Wehrli, Pickard, and Block making a great finish to end the day.

In 250C action, Shaelee Harvey started out the first moto with a holeshot. Wyatt Edwards quickly captured the lead followed by Scottie SulZach Harris and Jason Wehrli battle in Quad A.

livan and Nick Falk. A few minutes into the race, Wyatt Barnett passed Falk to take the third place spot. Falk didn’t give up as they were in the last lap, getting back past Barnett in the back rhythm section. Edwards put in a great ride to finish with first as Sullivan maintained his second place followed by Falk.

The second moto holeshot was by all Edwards, who then charged down the back straight with Sullivan and Falk not far behind. Falk came over the finish line table top with a nose dive, lucky to keep his third place spot going into the second lap. In the last lap Sullivan made a successful pass for the lead and the overall win. Followed behind him with a great finish was Edwards and Falk.

Reid Janson won both 14-24 and 250B.

Cambridge, MN - July 10

innesota District 23’s Pro contender Josh Koch and Wisconsin District 16’s Brock Schwarzenbacher traded hotly contested wins during the Double-district dirt track race held at the Isanti County fairgrounds, hosted by On Track Promotions. 190 entrants from both Districts geared up for this unique double header event.

The race fans certainly got a bang for their buck as Schwarzenbacher (national #30) and Koch (national #68) repeatedly traded the race lead in aggressive fashion throughout the 450 Pro main event. Schwarzenbacher eventually edged Koch for the win. Rounding out the top five were Colorado’s Davey Durelle, and D23’s Conner Anderson and Rich Delak.

The Open Pro final looked to be much of the same as Schwarzenbacher grabbed the holeshot and held the lead until Koch tucked his Jeff’s SOS/ Anderson Plumbing/ General Engineering/ Durelle Racing Products Honda to the inside of him in turn one on the next lap. Although Koch held the lead throughout the fifteen lap main event he was stalked closely by Schwarzenbacher. Meanwhile, 20

CYCLE USA, August 2010

Conner Anderson and younger brother Cole were running a solid third and fourth ahead of multi-time 750cc Pro Motorcycle Pikes Peak Hill Climb champion Durelle.

The top five finished in that order as Schwarzenbacher’s final turn pass attempt on Koch missed by inches.“ I hate losing,” explained the Mack Daddy Racing/ Moose/ Bell Helmets sponsored Schwarzenbacher. “Last year I won all four of my heats on both days, but never won a main, I was really bummed. At least I got one win so far.”

Koch also reflected on the race, “Brock and I have had a rivalry ever since he came over here and beat me on a 60cc. I made some changes after the 450 race and got it hooking up a bit better, but it started getting slick towards the end of the race.”

D16’s Dave Schultz, also from Beaver Dam, WI. scored a pair of wins in the 450A and Open A classes. His win in the 450A class came when early race leader Zack Zemanovic bobbled in turn one allowing him to catch up and make the pass. Zemanovic was then followed the checkers by fleet of D23 contenders that included Wayne Lindberg, Cale Langland, Steve Bystrom and Erick Bostrom.

Schultz scored win number two in the Open A class ahead of

D23’s Dustin Paul who turned in a promising performance aboard a Honda 450 four stroke for the very first time. Cole Anderson (D23), Alexia Hoffman (D16) and Zemanovic rounded out the top five.

Bach repeats at Stoney Columbus, Indiana - July 18

I

t took till the fourth round of the Stoney Lonesome Harescramble Series for the club to be granted pleasant weather leading to and on the day of the event.

The PeeWee race course was similar to previous races allowing easy access for the spectators. Hunter Huser returned to his winning ways after suffering a bike problems in the previous race. Isaac Mull, coming off a victory at the MAXC race, continued his win streak with a mid race pass to take over the PeeWee Injector lead. Mull held on to that lead to land his first win at Stoney Lonesome.

The Mini course was extended to over two miles in hopes that it would remain dry.

Luke Chilman appeared to have issues on the line resulting in a last place start. Chilman Overall Winner - Chris Bach.

fought through most of the crowd, but trailed Tyler Vore and Zach Dubois on the first lap.

Chilman and Vore developed a good race for the top spot, but Chilman remained plagued with a tingling sensation in his hands making it difficult to ride his typical style. The Super Mini battle came down to the last lap with only seconds separating the two with Chilman ultimately pulling out the victory over Vore.

Michael Witkowski and Keagen Lee once again hooked up for a wheel to wheel battle in the 85cc class. As was the case in the Super Mini race, the 85cc race came down to a late pass with less than 100 meters to go. Lee took the last opportunity he had to give it his all and made the pass nearing the home check at the finish to take the class win. 65cc racer, Vincent Smith, once again cruised away from the remaining field. Dawson Dunnuck and John Henry Robinson followed Smith by only 20 seconds at the end of the first lap, but would never get closer.

Dunnuck and Robinson developed their own battle which also went down to the last lap with Dunnuck edging Robinson for second place.

In the Big Bike race, we saw 87 riders leave the starting line, with five riders finishing eight laps and a total of 448 passes through the checkpoint.

Christopher Bach took control of the race on the first lap, turning a 11:29 lap time. Nathan Sullivan and Daniel Sims were next through the gates separated by 0:57. Following on their heels were Anthony Wagler and Tyler Tischler separated by 0:03. Jeff Cregg suffered a bad crash attempting to catch the lead group following a terrible start.

Unfortunately, that crash took Cregg out of the race, ending what has become a very impressive win streak at Stoney Lonesome MC. Bach was still in the lead at the end of lap four, and opening the lead on Sullivan riding in second. Jordan Johns had worked his way up to third, trying to eliminate a 1:45 deficit. In fourth, Tischler was looking for cre-

ative ways of eliminating the disadvantage he had to Johns. Pushing to stay in the top five and possibly gain another spot was, Sims finishing lap four in fifth place - behind by 0:36.

With the white flag out, Bach remained in the lead. At the checkered flag, Sullivan who was trailing by 4:29 took second overall. Tischler refused to give an inch and came through the gates in third place with Johns in fourth - with only 0:49 separating them. A bit fatigued Sims secured fifth place, with a 6:12 gap on to the fourth place rider.

A

ndy Fortner picked up another overall Fast Time award at the Goshen Iron Horsemen hill climb on July 11th.

Riding his CR500, Fortner flew over the top of the hill in a sizzling 4.448 seconds on his first ride in the Senior (+40) class, a time that would win the class and the overall Fast Time of the Day award. The time was startling to all, as the next closest was ... carded by Justin Trent in the 600cc 4stroke class. Jeff Jack was second in the class with a 5.469 second run on his KX500 with Scott Petty third.

Trent enjoyed a double win day, adding the 450cc class win to his four stroke win.

Riding a 450cc Honda thumper in the 450cc class, Trent posted a fine 5.146 second run on his first ride, then followed it with an even better 4.921 second time on his second ride for the win. Matt Peters turned in a 5.581 second time on his KTM380 for second place with Mike Sarver third.

Trent brought his Honda back in the 600cc four stroke class, and set the class time to beat with a 5.250 second first round time, then carded the 4.825 second class winning

time on his second ride. Al Petty was second on his Honda in 5.539 seconds with Andrew Groth third.

Veteran rider Jeff Jack was also a double class winner, his first coming in the 200cc class where he topped the hill in 5.806 seconds on his KTM for the win. Kyle Galloway was second on his vintage KDX with Charlie Gerencer third on a Honda.

Joshua Philbrick quickly moved up from his fourth place start and by halfway through the lap was out front. By the beginning of lap two Meyers was in second. Meyers hold on second was short-lived as Kau slipped back in front in the west end. Aaron Koch worked his way up into fourth on the final lap just ahead of Cameron Cochran.

In moto two it looked like Shawn Haus had the holeshot but Philbrick was able to cut inside and steal it away. Philbrick then set about cruising to an easy moto win. Meanwhile Marescalco was fighting off challenges from Kau in order to stay in second to the finish. A 1/1 day by Philbrick was good for the overall while Kau (2/3) took the second.

Frank Weiss grabbed a big holeshot in +40 and immediately put breathing room behind him as he led to the finish. Tom Dretzka was in second with Michael Cox third, and Christopher Josephsen fourth. Carl Hein made a big jump and as he cleared the plateau he was now sitting in third. Hein pushed hard but couldn’t catch Dretzka.

Kurt Powell stayed tight inside on the moto two holeshot to edge out Weiss at the corner. Weiss and Hein moved up front and as they took their first trip over the plateau, battling for the lead. Weiss won and finished the moto out front. The overall went to Weiss (1/1), Hein (3/2) was second and Dretzka (2/3) finished third.

Despite the threat of rain (which began falling on the last two motos of the day) and high humidity the day was perfect for racing. All the classes were running hard and fast. The track held up well for the 530 plus entries.

Andrist Shines at Mazeppa

Jacob Andrist takes the inside away from Jesse Beaver in the 14-24C start.

Mazeppa, Minnesota - July 4,

By Mike Nelson

J

acob Andrist’s performance on the 4th of July was just about the only thing that shined on a rain shortened day of racing at Hurricane Hills MX park just north of Mazeppa, Minnesota. Andrist topped the field in the 14-24C and Open C classes, and just missed the hat trick with a second place finish in 250C. With rain threatening from the start, the entrants were anxious to get going. The first race dropped just after 9am under clouds with a light sprinkle. By the time the second race dropped, the rain had quit and Jesse Beaver was the first out of the gate in the 14-24C. When they got to the merge, Andrist had gotten inside position and pulled ahead of Beaver who had his hands full with newcomer Connor Langfield and Jullian Labarre. By the second lap the order had shaken out to hold through the finish with Andrist in the lead and Beaver falling to fourth behind Langfield and Labarre.

By the mid point of the first set of motos a light sprinkle had begun to fall again and Andrist took the holeshot in the Open C class, where he again led start to finish. As racing continued, so did the rain until the track started to get so slick that the decision was made to call it a race after the first motos were complete.

26 CYCLE USA, August 2010

In the final race of the day, the Open A and B riders decided to do a backwards start in the rain just to have some fun on an otherwise bummer of a race day due to the weather. Ryan Smoulch stole the win in the Open B class when Ben Olson slid completely around coming out of the final turn on lap three, collecting Daren Hanson leaving them both trying to get back on track as Smoulch rode off on what ended up as a very slick track. Thanks to all the track staff that stuck with it through the rain to get the first motos complete so it could be an official race.

Motoland delivers excitment

250B riders fill the gate before the start.

Kingsbury, Indiana-July 11

By Jennifer Kenyon Photos by Catheriya Goedeking

T

here’s no question why riders from all over the US come year after year to experience one of the most unique race tracks in the country. This 43 acre facility is not for the faint of heart, with around 3.5 miles per lap of pure sand with 24 elevation changes; Motoland is one of the gnarliest tracks around. But it’s not just the great track that brings riders from all over the US; it’s the remarkable family environment that makes Motoland such a wonderful place to ride and race. As owner Rick Holloway put it at riders’ meeting, “We don’t do this for the money, we’re just here to help the sport”. The Holloway family proved this by putting up a $12,000 purse for the Pro-Am event, some of which came straight from gate fees and rider entry fees at the event, as well as two 25# stainless steel trophies to the winner of each Pro class, not to mention the incredible track conditions and straight up family hospitality that is felt when you arrive to the track.

The track was a little wet for the first practice, but quickly shaped into perfect condition. The first group of riders to endure the gnarly sand was the +30A and 125cc classes, each running 4 laps around ¾ of the big track.

The first drop of +30A saw Joe Buskirk off to a great start aboard his Suzuki, followed by Howard Jabaay on his Honda and Alex Rossetto. Alex Kruh jumped into the mix putting pressure on Rossetto throughout the moto.

Rossetto went down on the second lap, moving Kruh into fourth. Buskirk started to pull away, but Jabaay didn’t give up, charging hard at the end of the moto. Buskirk took the win with Jabaay second.

Rossetto had much better luck in moto two pulling the holeshot over Buskirk, Jabaay and Kruh. Buskirk went outside in the next corner, stealing the lead from Rossetto. Rick Ivey was charging hard at Jabaay for the third spot, closing in on him in the corners. Rossetto began catching Buskirk towards the end of the moto, making up time in the corners.

On the last lap, Jabaay pulled away from Ivey who was looking pretty tired by the end of the moto with his goggles off. Despite every ef-

fort of Rossetto to get around him, Buskirk held onto his lead and took the overall, Jabaay went 2-3 for the second overall, Kruh 4-5 for third.

Eighteen riders lined the gate for the 250A Pro class, all vying for a piece of the purse, a chance to be crowned with the infamous Pro-Am trophy, or just to gain points toward their Pro license. Whatever the reason was, these riders were motivated to do well and with 30 minutes plus 2it was bound to get wild. Ohio native Steven Mages shot out of the hole in moto one, followed very closely by Washington’s Tevin Tapia and our very own local rider Scott Zont. Tapia immediately took matters into his own hands, hitting Mages hard enough to slow him up, allowing Cody Ruschke went Tapia and Zont to move their 7-4 for 5th overall in 250C. way into the first and second spots. Kody Kamm began his two, but Tapia quickly got around in the first string of bad luck early in moto one as he corner with Kamm right on his tire. Kamm went down in the first couple of laps, moving and Tapia came over the table top side by side, him from the top five down to almost 20th.

Kamm giving way to Tapia first and then Mages put himself back into the second spot Johnny Moore. Once again, Rusk started pretty quickly with California’s Joey Rossi picking riders off, starting with Kamm, then settling in right behind. Midwest riders Kyle dicing through the breakers to pass Moore.

Johnson fell back to fourth coming out of the back section, opening up the second spot to Aulsebrook once again.

“The track was really fun I wish I could get here more to ride, I just got really tired” Johnson later said.

Shane Sewell went inside as Aulsebrook went out and overshot the table, letting Sewell steal the second spot from the Arenacross champ. Travis Sewell finished the second moto about 18 seconds ahead of his brother Shane who took the overall win with a 1-2.

Johnson finished with a strong third place for the third overall, Haught finished fourth for fourth overall and Aulsebrook finished out the top five for a second overall.

Jeffrey Thode was the guy to beat in both the 250C and 450C classes as he won all four motos. Thode made his way out front to capture the 250C holeshot of moto one followed closely by the Suzuki of Zachary Mallin and the Yamaha of Cody Ruschke. Thode immediately pulled away from the rest of the group with Mallin holding onto second. Ruschke went down in the deep sandy straight, “My front tire just washed out” Ruschke later said about his crash. Brock Aleshire came around as Ruschke was down and mimicked the crash, washing out right behind Ruschke as he was still down, moving the KTM of Tanner Walters into the third spot.

Matthew Stull made his move around Branden Vanderwoude to take fourth. Darrick Dargis made his way up to third place behind Mallin by the end of the moto. Stull and Walters were battling on their KTMs and right before the finish Stull got around Walters to capture fourth. Thode finished moto one out front; Mallin took a comfortable second, with Dargis in third.

Dungey rolls through Millville Millville, Minnesota - July 17

By Pete Emme

eam Makita/ Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey is simply on a roll in the 450cc class as he completely dominated the field on a very hot and sticky Saturday during Round 7 of the Lucas Oil AMA National Motocross Championship. Dungey entered the pro ranks coming from Loretta Lynn’s as a B rider and made his debut right here at Spring Creek MX park in 2006 where he went 8-8 for seventh overall in the 250cc division. While other riders had made Ryan Dungey on his way attentive debuts throughout the last to another championship. few years, none have climbed as well as Dungey, as he is one of the best riders nearly a year since the 17 year in the world already.

Racing team and did very well. It has been The 450’s were first on the list of racing

and with temps in the low 90s and humidity that you could cut with a knife, it was rough and tough on the riders.

With all the Kevin Windham fans in the crowd it was only fitting for number 14 to nab the first moto holeshot over teammate Andrew Short. Windham was very excited to get back racing and it showed with his impressive start. Windham led for half of the race until Dungey got past him as the Gibb’s Racing Yamaha of Josh Grant made a pass on Short for third.

Dungey seems to have an extra gear for the latter half of the races this year.

When everyone is at the fifteen minute mark, Dungey’s fitness seems to take over and he completely decimates the field somewhat Carmichael like. Windham eventually fell to fifth while Grant wound up taking second.

Finishing third was Short, Ben Townley in fourth. Kawasaki’s Chad Reed pulled off the track at the midway point due to pain in his neck, rumor had it that Reed over-jumped a section during practice and suffered the injury.

Reed did not come out for the second moto.

Holeshot expert Andrew Short got the jump he needed in the second moto edging out Ryan Sipes in the fast right hand uphill turn. Ben Townley quickly made a pass on the first lap that would put the likeable rider out front for two laps until he pushed his front end over a berm sending him way back in the pack. Dungey, in front of the strong Minnesota contingent, soon made a pass over Short and into the lead where he simply checked out to the roar of the upper Midwest crowd.

Making progress in the second moto was #41 Kyle Regal, who had finished eighth in the first moto. He was now hounding Windham for third, and finally got by him but would eventually fall giving the spot back.

Soon after, the fit Regal pushed hard to get back into third and then eventually got past Short for second. It was great to see the young privateer pushing hard. Dungey ended up taking the win, a very impressive one, as he dominated. Dungey 1-1, Short 3-3 for sec-

ond and Regal went 8-2 for third. Josh Grant, who had finished runner-up in the first moto, fell to 10th in the final outing having suffered from heat exhaustion.

With Dungey’s win, he nearly holds a 90 point lead over Andrew Short in the championship standings.

Regal’s second was very hard earned indeed. “I always thought I could be up there, last year I got a couple of fourths, a couple top fives and tens, it’s just getting the bike set-up each week and riding smart. Today things got turned around, especially in the second moto.”

“I got cooked pretty bad with the heat today and fortunately I was up Dean Wilson getting the 250cc front and getting second overall is class second moto holeshot. good today considering that,” said Anthe riders. drew Short.

The 250 class has had five different win“I grew up riding here and it is definitely ners in the first six rounds. Martin Davalos a track that I like. I haven’t been here except and Christophe Pourcel had battled it for the to race in the last four years, but I put it tolead in the first moto with Trey Canard and gether today,” said Dungey. “Windham rode Jake Weimer behind. It looked like Davalos really well and I was surprised to see him up might be able to stay out front, but he went front for so long and there’s a lot of great guys down and handed the lead over to Canard. out there, Josh Grant, BT, they can all be right Canard pulled away a bit, but Pourcel would there at anytime.” Although Dungey seems catch and pass him. The two went back and to be in the driver’s seat right now, the real forth for a few laps keeping the fans on thier battle seems to be in the second through the feet. Eventually Canard made a move back sixth position where about 30 points separate on Pourcel for the lead. A mishmash of

ton’s shoulders as the Kawasaki Mule drove back to the pits following the first moto.

Team members were dowsing Pourcel with cold water bottles in the pits following the first moto in the 94 degree heat.

The second moto had clouds rolling in and there was a threat of rain on the horizon.

Yamaha’s Nico Izzi out got out front for the first three turns until Canard came screaming past with Dean Wilson in tow. Perhaps Pourcel was simply spent after the first moto, as he was in around the tenth spot after the first lap, and then things got interesting as the hot and humid weather turned and let loose with some rain. Rain drops fell as the size of marbles making the track a little slick, and Canard began to pull away. Pourcel never got comfortable and settled for 10th in the second moto, good enough for fifth overall. Canard definitely had a wide smile on his face following his second win in a row by finishing 21. Tyla Rattray had consistent scores of 4-4 to round out the podium. Finishing in tenth overall was Spring Creek’s very own Alex Martin with a 8-15 tally.

With Millville and Round 7 in the books, it’s still Pourcel out front with the points lead with Dean Wilson second and Trey Canard moving up fast. We’ll see who has what it takes in the next month as the series winds down and it could possibly come down to the final race in California to determine a champion.

Zemanovic tops Cambridge Cambridge, Minnesota - July 11

By Tim McBride

S

econd generation District 23 flat tracker Zachary Zemanovic scored the win in the highly competitive 450A class during the second round of the double-district dirt track racing weekend hosted by On Track Promotions. The Norseman MC provided the venue and 160 entrants from Minnesota’s D23 and Wisconsin’s D-16 supplied the excitement.

As the 450A main event got underway holeshot technician Tony Hauer (D23) bolted to the front of the pack during the early running, but Zemanovic stole the lead halfway through the first lap of the five turn tourist trophy type track layout. The Z-man then put his head down and pulled away to score a convincing win ahead of a talent laden field.

Wayne Lindberg from Hastings, MN also slipped by Hauer but never posed a threat to Zemanovic. D16’s Dave Schultz, Geoff Thistle and Logan Demaa (16’s) rounded out the top six finishing positions.

Zemanovic looked poised to pick up his second win of the day while leading the Open A main for the first two laps until D23 teenage sensation Cole Anderson grabbed the lead from him in turn one. The twosome then remained close as they pulled away from the rest of the ten rider pack to finish one and two.

Converted D-23 motocrosser and ice race superstar Erick Bostrom, Dustin Paul and Rick Wascheck rounded out the top five positions.

Another teenage sensation won the 250A main, only this one came in the form of a female. D16’s Alexia Hoffman came all the way from Beaver Dam, Wisconsin to show the guys the fast way around the track. D23’s El#11 Cole Anderson chases Zachery Zemanovic in Open A.

Daryl Rath won both of the Quad Pro TT classes.

liot Darsow, Ryan Einerwold and Riley Rasmusson gave chase to the three-time Atwater WI. track champion. “I also ride the Open A class just to get more riding time on my 250,” explained the seventeen year old Hoffman, who by the way carries a 4.1 grade average at Wayland Academy. “We (along with her parents) also came here this week to look at colleges; I’m hoping to get into the University of Minnesota.”

Twin Lakes, Wisconsin’s Terry Vestal kept D16 high on the leader board by topping the Over 30 and Over 40 classes while displaying some impressively smooth riding ability.

Waupun, Wisconsin’s Aaron Jahnke also did D16 proud by winning the 50cc Shaft and the XR 50 classes.

The winner in both Pro classes belonged to Elizabeth Colorado’s Davey Durelle (formerly D-23).

The General Engineering/ EME/ Donahue H-D/

Arai sponsored Durelle scored uncontested wins in both the 450 Semi-Pro and Open Semi Pro classes. National number’s Josh Koch and Brock Swarzenbacher were the only riders able to keep Durelle in sight. “I love coming to this track, I’ve been racing here since I was on a minibike,” said the multi-time 750cc Pro class winner of the Pikes Peak Hill Climb.

“We rode the 250 class Pikes Peak this year for a change,” explained the former GNC National Number 58’ Durelle. “We beat the record by 13 seconds.”

Nick Allen and Daryl Rath split victories in the Open Pro-Am Quad class during the “Border-Battle” double header. The first event for the Minnesota D23 and Wisconsin D16 quad competitors was held at the ¼ mile Cambridge short track oval on Saturday night followed by the tourist trophy held at the Norseman club grounds on Sunday afternoon.

Saturday night at the Cambridge short track Allen continued his winning ways by topping the Open-Pro am class ahead of fellow D23 competitor Bradey Mackin followed by lone District 16 racer Cory Mahlum. Andy Wendorff and Matt Ernhart both from Princeton MN. rounded out the top five finishing positions.

In the Open Pro final Mahlum, all the way from Janeau, WI. put D16 on top of the leader board with a flag to flag win with Bradey Mackin, Wendorff, Allen and Ernhart rounding out the field.

t the beginning of night, the 50cc 4Stroke riders came to the line ready to defeat the big half mile track. As the light turned green, Aaron Jahnke took the holeshot. Flowing off the start behind Jahnke was Brady Lange and Sam Mayer. As they curled into a tuck on the straights, Lange and Mayer put up a hard fought battle, side by side most of the time. As Jahnke took the checkered flag, Lange, Mayer, Caden Demaa, and Trevor Infalt followed behind.

Up next was the 65cc class. Ready to rock was Jacob Jesko, Aaron Jahnke, and Bradley Warmka. First into turn one was Jesko, but following close behind was Jahnke.

For a couple of laps Jahnke held close, but eventually Jesko pulled away with the lead.

Spreading out, Jesko took the win followed

by Jahnke and Warmka.

With the holeshot in 85cc class, was Charlotte Kainz. Following close behind was

Jacob Jesko and Parker Lange. As the three of them stayed close the entire race, Kainz took the big win. Battling hard the rest of the race was Jesko and Lange. Jesko held the second spot as Mitchell Martinich finished fourth.

Starting out the Open Pros with the holeshot was Jesse Janisch. As the race went on, everyone spread out into groups of two and three, battling within the groups. Finding his way to the lead was Nick Smith. Side by side through the checkered flag was Smith just ahead of Josh Koch. With the win on his birthday was Smith followed by Koch and Janisch.

he Super Seniors (+50) hit the track in full force with two heat races. Michael Anderson took the heat one holeshot from the inside with Butch Fox hanging on from the outside. Having a touch more motor down the back straight, Anderson took the lead. William Berger seemed to be left behind at the start. Anderson resisted the pressure from Fox and held the lead while Berger pushed on the outside line with Roger Johnson attached to his rear fender.

In an attempt to pull away, Anderson got a little squirely and gave Johnson his chance to get around Berger and seize third place. Johnson’s repeated attempts at taking Fox’s position seemed to be an inspiration. On the final lap, all four lead riders were bumping and sliding. Fox lost a little speed and Johnson capitalized on the error jumping into second. Fox recovered in just the nick of time to reclaim second and sending Johnson back into third place.

Heat two rolled up to the line and as the light turned green Mike Yogerst stole the holeshot.

Ron Bean clung to the leader’s rear wheel on the outside line.

Randall Senneff, Al Sumner and Ken Pesz rounded out the field.

Holding onto the outside line, Bean started a drive on Yogerst in turn two and by turn three Bean swept into the lead position and simply walked away from the pack. On the white flag lap Senneff made one last attempt to move up but was denied. Checkers came out for Bean, Yogerst, Senneff, Sumner and Pesz.

Under the lights for the final, two lines of Seniors had their motors roaring in anticipation of the green light. Fox launched off the line and nabbed the holeshot with Bean and Anderson in tow. Shooting out of 38 CYCLE USA, August 2010

turn two, Bean pounded down the back straight and edged Anderson out of second. Fox and Bean hit turn one hard, Bean keeping on that beloved high line with Anderson just inches from Fox’s bike.

Bean steady on the throttle vying for the lead spot was kept at bay.

Bean must be one stubborn fellow because he repeatedly tried to take that number one spot.

Never letting up, he hung onto the outside line, waiting. His patience paid off on the white flag lap as Fox made a tiny mistake coming out of turn two; giving Bean his chance. Anderson quickly tried to follow suit but lost his opportunity. Fox regained control and held on to second across the finish line.

Bean fought hard for the final win followed by Fox, Anderson, Yogerst and Johnson.

The Vet (+30) guys had some work in front of them to try and keep the pace set by the Seniors! Seven bikes were lined up for the heat race. Impatience got the best of Terry Vestal, Rob Reitz and Danny Vrana and they were sent to the second line for jumping the light. With the front row now looking sparse, the lights were reset and the roar from the motors was deafening.

Green light was on and the race was off. Kevin Kilkenny took the holeshot with Chris Baker and Lee Johnson quickly catching up as they went through turn two. Klikenny held onto the lead into the back straight while Reitz took an off track adventure.

Johnson passed Kilkenny for the lead going into turn three.

Kilkenny rallied to regain his lead, however he was quickly put into place by Johnson. Baker gave way to Vrana and Vestal.

Johnson’s lead grew as Vrana and Vestal charged onto Kilkenny. Johnson took the checkers with what seemed to be an easy win with all the drama behind him. Kilkenny took the

well defended second place.

Vrana and Vestal finished third and fourth respectively.

The Vet final was reminiscent of the heat race. Kilkenny nailed the holeshot with Vrana on his hip into turn one. Vrana’s attention was grabbed by Johnson saying hello from the outside, then all at once Vrana was overpowered by Johnson and Vestal and dropped to fourth. Johnson went to the magic high line and powered past Kilkenny with Vestal in tow. Vestal went high but couldn’t find a way around.

A lapped rider gave him an opportunity to pass for the lead.

Johnson checked up for a moment trying to decide which line to take. Just as Vestal dropped to the inside, Johnson snuck in and got to the line first. Johnson took the win as Kilkenny crossed in third with Troy Johnson sneaking into fourth as Vrana rounded out the top five.

Double the fun at Hixton Hixton, Wisconsin - June 27

By Dave Hollub

N

Wade Schultz tops the hill winning the Senior class.

Luke Parmeter won 250cc, 450cc, and the 600cc class.

othing is better than a two for one, especially when it involves dirt bikes, and CMJ Raceway hit it right when they scheduled both a Hare Scrambles and Hill Climb on the same day. The only problem was the almost six inches of rain that fell in the days before. As I drove up to Hixton I noticed a lot of standing water in the ditches, but once on the grounds everything looked ready to go.

For the hare scrambles, Mat Herrington had spent many hours last week laying out a course with a lot of new untracked obstacles, but some had to be bypassed because of the rain. Still the course was as tough as most I’ve seen, and many hidden obstacles appeared after a lap or two to keep the challenge going.

Dylan Kobel took the lead early in 85cc but Hunter Neuwirth got by him late in lap one. Neuwirth kept a steady pace on his Suzuki as he opened a gap. Bryce Ries got by Kobel on lap three but couldn’t hold the position beyond lap five when Kobel got by and then held on for second at the finish.

Amanda Nadboralski jumped out front of the Women and by the fourth lap was running quick enough that she was in second behind 85cc winner Neuwirth.

Becky Hayes ran second on her vintage bike with Amy Fischer third. Nadboralski later said, “There was one hill that was pretty rough, but not too bad. There were also a couple mud holes but nothing bad.

I’m just happy I finished, it was all good.

This is only my second Hare Scrambles so it felt good to be running with the guys. I won at Pearson a couple weeks ago, but it was only me and one other girl, but I had fun. I race some motocross and on the ice so it all helps.”

Tanner Warner led the B class with Frank Caballero pushing from second for the entire race. Third place bounced around from Steve Roof to Curt Shomberg, then Corey Pederson, and finally back to Shomberg on lap five to the finish.

In the A class, Bruce Hall grabbed the lead on lap one but on lap two fell back to seventh leaving Travis Held out front. On lap three Jacob Swanson slipped up from third into the lead and set the pace for the next six laps until both Andrew Storbeck and Heath Drone got by. Storbeck took the win with Drone second and Swanson third.

John Buechner and Joe Vadeboncoeur battled back and forth for the lead in +40 class. Buechner recovered from a bad start

and on lap two settled into second. On lap five he made his move and took the lead to the finish. On the final lap Carl Jahns passed Dean Hagemann to steal away a third place finish.

Ryan Lenth led the AA class on lap one but JD Friebel passed him on lap two and Lenth fell back to fifth. By the end of lap five Lenth was back out front with Friebel and Scott Daubert close behind. Lenth held on for the win while Friebel finished second and Daubert third.

While the Hare Scramblers were chasing around in the woods the hill climbers were challenging the north face of CMJ. It really is interesting seeing the different designs these guys have for bikes, and just walking “down” the hill was enough challenge to keep me busy. In preparation for this weekend the CMJ crew changed the hill’s profile. They made the initial wall taller by eliminating the first jump and widened the now second jump.

In addition clay was added to the jump landings to make them smoother which also turned out to be a great idea once the rain started falling early in the week, and really never stopped until that morning. The hill was in great shape.

Due to the overnight rains, the staging and start area were deep with slick mud so the first few attempts were hampered by mud packed tires. Despite the mud, Bodee O’Neil led the first round for the 50cc class with an attempt reaching the 115 foot mark. Once the hill finally dried out by their second turn, Casey Parker ripped off the only full climb with a time of 13.8 seconds to take the win.

Emily Schultz grabbed second and O’Neil finished third.

Luke Cipala made the full hill in 12.1 to lead the 65cc class but had Casey Pader in striking distance with a time of 13.37. Round two saw Pader fall short of the top while Cipala bettered his time down to 11.248 to take the win.

The ATV class was heavily contested as Rick Prebe cleared the top on the first round with an 8.506. Joel Diercks and Steve Atherton both were less than a half second back.

Prebe was able to hang on for the win with his first climb despite Diercks second attempt with an 8.561.

Luke Parmeter started his string of three wins by grabbing first place in the 250 class.

Parmeter’s first attempt topped the hill at 8.043, which barely edged out Eric Wheelwright (8.339) and Steve Cain (8.538). Then on his second attempt Parmeter ripped up in a time of 7.906. Jacob Prebe charged hard but came up just short with a time of 8.063. Kirk Mueller snagged third. Parmeter then jumped onto his 450 class bike, topping the climb in CYCLE USA, August 2010

7.808 on his first attempt. This would prove to be fast enough to clinch the victory just beating Aaron Prebe who posted a 7.993.

In the 600 class Parmeter again posted the fastest run on his first run. He cleared the top at 7.766 seconds. Kirk Mueller used his second run to move up from sixth place after the first set to second place with a time of 7.773.

In the 750 class it looked like Parmeter was poised for a fourth win as he sat at the top after the first run with a time of 7.731. Kirk Mueller launched off on his second attempt and cleaned the hill in 7.683 to take over the lead. Parmeter’s second attempt came up short.

Before the King of the Hill I got a chance to talk with Parmeter, “It has been an awesome day so far. I won the 250, 450, and 600.

I just found some smooth lines and was able to make my rides count in the first round. The new hill is really a lot of fun, and I’m glad they changed it up. From what I have heard all the riders really enjoyed the hill. It is getting pretty gnarly right now. It’s getting a little faster in some spots, but I don’t know if it will hold until the King of the Hill, I guess we’ll see. I can’t thank my family enough for all their support. I also want to thank my sponsors Golden Eagle Log homes.com, LPmotocross.com, 4MX graphics, and AndyKawa.com.”

Kirk Mueller had the fastest qualifying

time to get into the King of the Hill climb with his 750 win, Parmeter was second fastest and the third fastest qualifier was Wade Schultz from his Senior class win. Once the King of the Hill climb started it was Jacob Prebe grabbing the crown as he cleared the hill in 7.624.

Schultz posted a 7.633 to claim second and Mueller finished up the podium with a 7.694.

Once everyone came out of the woods and met at the top of the hill it was a mutual feeling that the day was a success despite the earlier rain almost washing it all away. The Hill Climbers had a well prepped challenge that made for an interesting day. The Hare Scramblers, despite running a modified course were all happy to survive their time in the woods. Thanks to the CMJ crew as they rebounded from the weather and put on a great event that left everyone going home with that tired, but satisfied feeling.

Fortner Flies at Neoga Climb Neoga, Illinois - June 26/27

By Bud Northrup Photos by Carey Paxton

A

ndy Fortner lived up to his nickname, “Fast Andy” again at the Central Illinois M/C night hill climb on June 26, taking two class wins, a second, as well as the Fast Time of the Day award. He claimed his first win in the large and fast 600cc class on his CR500 by overtaking Troy Camerer who had taken the first round lead with a 2.634 second time. Fortner sailed over the top in 2.527 seconds on his second ride for the win, with Dylan Brady claiming third.

Fortner brought his Honda back in the Senior class and was even faster, posting a sizzling 2.498 second time on his first ride, which held up for both the class win and the Fast Time award. Mike Pulver was second on his Honda in 2.596 seconds - the third fastest time of the night. Pat Sarver was third with a good 2.620 second time. - the fifth fastest time. Who says old guys can’t go fast?

Pulver got a measure of revenge as he ruined Fortner’s bid for a perfect night by taking the 400cc Stock class win with a 2.643 second time in the second round, overtaking Fortner who had taken the first round lead.

Pulver was also the fastest in the Open Stock class with a 2.665 second run on his Honda.

Josh Denson was second with Joe McGurer third.

Shay’s second win came in the Women’s class where she overtook Blair Lawson in the second round with a 3.124 second time on the youth hill.

Atwater Short Track Racing Atwater, Wisconsin - June 26 Photos by Donna Reinhardt-Saenz

I

t’s hard to put into words just how enjoyable the Atwater track is, but it won’t be that hard to let you know how we all felt about the weather. An abundance of mosquitoes, plus the temperature was hot, humid and sticky. The rain held off during the short track races, but started to come down hard after midnight, which led to the cancellation of the TT event for Sunday, with both events being put on by the Beaver Cycle Club.

A honest number of District 23 riders from Minnesota came to compete against District 16 in flat track. A good showing of the 50cc Chain bikes of MN youngsters prompted an additional class with many KTM’s and Cobra bikes. The checkered flag flew with Josh Fedder earning the victory, followed by Reece Valland, Jackson Lindberg, William Larson, and Kaden Funk, all from Minnesota.

They put on a good show for us Wisconsinites.

The Twins/Vintage class brought in the most riders of the evening. They are all so close in talent that it makes for great action to

Robin ramps it up at Spring Creek Millville, Minnesota - June 27

By Rolfe Otterness

J

erry Robin turned the heat up on the competition at the latest Spring Creek Super Series event, with wins in five out of six motos for three overall victories. Not a bad way to finish off June and the fifth round of the Super Series! The only other rider to scoop up multiple victories was Spring Creek’s own Jeremy Martin. The 400 plus entries enjoyed a great day at one of the finest facilities in the country, so all were successful.

California native Joey Rossi has been training at the Spring Creek Park for a bit to help with his speed in the Pro Nationals and he stormed off the line into the lead of the first Open A moto with Josh Sorensen right alongside. Brandon Haas quickly displaced Sorensen and began to hound Rossi, but couldn’t get by until a mistake by Rossi opened the door for a pass. Rossi stayed close as the moto win went to Haas. Sorensen had a good ride for third, finishing ahead of Timmy McCoy and Calvin Knoll who rounded out the top five.

Moto two’s holeshot went to Haas who headed off to victory land with Rossi in tow.

They were close in speed, but Haas edged his rival once again for the win.

Knoll bested Sorensen for third this time and Jesse Johnson finished fifth.

Action in the mini classes is pretty intense, and the 85cc classes have some good talent with Jerry Robin and Henry Miller pushing each other to ever greater speed. Miller absconded with a start in the first 85cc 1215 moto but a rare mistake dropped him back in the pack.

Robin inherited the lead and took off quickly, leaving Nolan Heppner and Nick Schnagl to dispute second. At the checkered flag Robin had a whopper lead with Heppner hanging in there for second despite a good challenge from Schnagl. Josph Gomez and Travis Prier collected the next two spots.

Robin wrested a nice 46

CYCLE USA, August 2010

holeshot from the Spring Creek start straight and put it to good use as his rival Miller stayed close for the duration of the second moto. They both ran similar lap times, and gapped the field by a good chunk of time as Robin held strong for the win.

Miller was just a couple seconds back. There was a good battle over third for the last half of the race with Gomez eventually leading Heppner and Prier.

Vet B action featured Robert Lind jumping into an early lead in moto one with Jesse Kasowicz looking good in second until he blew off the track on the back double jump. Sam Fattig inherited second and closed in on Lind to give battle for the remainder of the moto. Phil Griffin and Nathan Arndt trailed them in. Kasowicz took the lead in moto two and led a three-way duel as the white flag flew. Kasowicz faltered and Lind took over the lead with Fattig on his tail. Fattig launched over the back triple to put a pass on the leader and led the rest of the way through the last few turns to take the win and overall. Kasowicz held third over Arndt and Griffin.

Barnhart Hot at Hurricane Hills Mazeppa, Minnesota - June 27

By Mike Nelson

W

ell over an inch of rain fell in the area in a heavy downpour overnight prior to the races but, with most of it running off, the track was dug and dragged and the decision was made to go ahead as scheduled.

With scarcely anyone willing to brave the track for morning practice, conditions were less than favorable when the races started. The slick and muddy conditions kept anyone from breaking away for an easy win and actually made for some of the closest racing I’ve seen. By the start of the second motos the track had tacked up and gotten really fast for the afternoon races.

Mike Barnhart started his day off right taking the win in the first race of the morning with the 450A & B classes kicking things off. He followed it up with a performance that would give him

the top spot in both the 450A and Open A classes at the end of the day. Barnhart won both motos in the 450A class, pulling himself up to within 14 points of District leader Mark Olejnichak, but had to work a little harder to get the Open A win, where he already holds a comfortable lead in the District points standings.

In the first moto Nick Waxon got the holeshot with Barnhart coming out in the rear of the field. The riders were at each other the entire race with nobody really able to pull away on a track that was still slick.

Barnhart got around Ryan Hopkins for second and pulled up along side of Waxon through the whoops, but couldn’t get around him and had to rely on a second moto win to get the first place finish in the Open A class.

Amanda Thayer was one of several riders that fell victim to the slick track in the morning.

After getting the holeshot and leading the first two laps it

looked as if Thayer would be able to hold off Remington Guthman and take a win in the Girls Youth Sport class, but near the end of the third lap Thayer slid off the track giving the lead to Guthman while she got out of the mud and back on track.

Rod Bolstad had a nice day for himself finishing on top in the +30 class ahead of Zeb Kittleson and Jason Graski. He also topped his +35 class over Jim Meyer and Dale Thayer, backed up with a second place finish in +25 to Trevor Fjosne.

Tyler Bakken also helped herself in the points with another win in the Women’s class and a second in the 450C class.

Bakken got off to a slow start this season in the Women’s class, but has come on strong winning 6 of the last 7 events and now holds a semi-comfortable 20+ point lead over Haylie Benson who again finished second to Bakken.

Mike Barnhart leads the opening race.

Crum wins two at Hangtime Akron, Indiana - July 10

By Becky Stichter

T

he racing action with Reads Racing was at Hangtime this weekend. There were some other races running this weekend too, so the number of riders was down a bit, but the weather was absolutely beautiful making for a good day of racing.

First on the track was the Quad B class.

In the first moto for Quad B, George Balaz came out of the gates with the holeshot, followed closely by Andy Balaz and Derek Kissinger. A. Balaz, of Schererville. IN moved into the lead and held it most of the first lap, until he tipped his quad in a very muddy corner, ending his day. G.Balaz was there to take the lead with Kissinger and Christopher Maglio right behind. After some hard racing, Balaz crossed the line first, followed by Maglio.

In the second moto, Balaz came out as the leader and held on for the win, going 1-1.

Kissinger edged out Maglio this time, going 3-2 for second overall.

The 250B class had some good action. In the first moto Tyler Neal of Huntington, IN got a good start and took charge, leading the entire moto.

Following was Cody Rowland, Matthew Fozo and Lane Parton.

In the second moto, Neal was first out of the gates, but then got tangled up, and fell. He lost some precious time as Parton took the lead. Fozo was right on his rear fender, putting on the heat, and made his move to the lead ride in the second lap. From that point, there was no stopping Fozo as he crossed the finish line first. Parton came across second.

This moto William Crossley Jr. pulled the throttle a little harder and was able to pull ahead to take the third.

Colton Crum of Frankfort, IN. dropped in at Hangtime and let people know he was there to take care of business. In the 65cc (7-9) class he came out of the gates both motos to take the early lead. He kept the gas open and

pulled out a large lead, handling the track well, and looking impressive. Running in second place both motos was Evan Faucett of Kirklin, IN. He has improved since the start of the season, and is getting more aggressive on his bike. Chase Stanton and Justin Stichter battled for third place behind the two leaders.

Crum and Faucett then faced each other again in the 85cc (9-11) class. Crum went 11 ahead of Faucett.

In the 85cc (12-18) class Dylan Clepahne, Jagg Nunez and Evan Denney had a good battle. In the first moto Clepahne, of Martinsville, IN. took the lead and was able to hold off Nunez and Denney. Nunez and Denney both pressured Clepahne, but they just couldn't find a way to get around.

In the second moto, Nunez really stepped it up and rode more like himself. He is returning from an injury from last season, so it was good to see him ride like this again.

Nunez took the lead and rode hard the entire moto, finishing first this time. Finishing behind him were Clepahane and Denney.

Nunez and Denney got to face each other again in the Supermini class. This time they had to deal with William Crossley Jr. and

Quad B first moto start; #73 George Balaz, #00 Andy Balaz, and #894 Derek Kissinger lead the way.

Nick Fleckner. Crossley took the lead in the first moto and rode the track well, winning this one, with Denney second. In the second moto, Crossley again took the lead out of the gates, and held it the entire moto. Denney was in second until the last lap when he fell in the back stadium turn. Nunez pulled into second, and Fleckner took third. The riders were so close, that Denney couldn't make up the lost time.

sure it was an extraordinary treat for many to show off their unique talent to their families and friends alike.

Thanks to mother nature, with two weeks of scattered rain before the event, the riders had to confront the best and fastest way up the steep hill. The 250 Pros attempted the hill near the beginning, with most riders going up and over, but with some slower times, that set the clock for the rest of the field.

When the 600 Pros attempted, the times got tough.

At the end of round one, Todd Cipala had third position with a time of 9.19. Chris Halverson broke into the 8’s with a 8.89. Kirk Mueller came up on top with the time to beat of 8.56, which was also ahead of all the Open Pros in round one.

Logan Cipala received the victory in the second round in the 600 Pro class, with the time of 8.12.

In Open Pro, Dan Lauters Jr. created too much traction after the second jump ending up in a hard crash.

Some of the others in the class found it difficult to stay in bounds, but Lloyd Mueller Jr. settled for a 9.56 third with his

Harley. Chuck Neinfeldt put a time on the board with a 9.50, but it wasn’t enough to hold off Luke Parmeter on his KTM with his rapid time of 8.61, the only one to get to the 8’s in the first round. In the second round, everyone tried their finest to beat Parmeter, and some came close, but then he improved his own time to prevail with a time of 8.09, which put him into the King of the Hill event concluding the afternoon.

The King of the Hill champion was Todd Cipala with a time of 8.10 seconds, followed

by Luke Parmeter, only .10 second behind.

Kirk Mueller came in third at 8.48. 8.85 for TC Allen and with only .05 difference was Logan Cipala at 8.90. Take note that the top five out of ten competitors climbed the hill under 9.0 seconds in this thrilling event.

I-94 Supercross Series opener Hustler, Wisconsin - June 19

By Troy Fisher

D

o you hate hearing your alarm clock go off in the morning? Having to leave at 3 or 4 in the morning just so you can get to the track for sign-up? Chris Halverson and Monster Energy have a solution for you: The 2010 Monster Energy I-94 Supercross Series!

With Monster Energy signing on as the title sponsor just a couple weeks before the opening round, there’s a little more buzz in the pits and surrounding the series.

With the gates not opening until noon for the opening round, everyone was wide awake and full of energy as they pulled into the pit area. I like many, showed up a little after noon and found the track to be about 30% under water and thought the worst!

There were guys digging drainage ditches with shovels and another guy scraping mud with a skid steer, doing their best to make things rideable. Practice was a little wet, but the track turned out nearly perfect by the time the first bungee cord flew!

With the grandstands full and very little standing room along the fences, spectator turnout was incredible. Not only was there a good crowd on hand to see 85

racers go head to head, they were very vocal. There were several times I heard a lot of yelling, so I’d turn around thinking I’d see the end of a crash, only to see a great battle between two or three guys.

This series uses a Supercross format, meaning there is a heat race and a main. The heat race determines what gate pick you’ll get for the main.

The first class of the day was the 65cc class. Trytan Stewart grabbed the early lead in this heat and never looked back, while Travis Slaght and Travis Anderson finished 2nd and 3rd, respectively. The main event in this class started and finished the same way.

In 250C, riders had a little more at stake in their heat race.

Only the top five advanced directly to the main, while the rest would be shoved into the dreaded LCQ. The first heat started out with Charles Streeter grabbing the holeshot aboard his CR250, only to give way to Cullen Lindner with Jeffrey Stewart in tow. Stewart wasted no time and took control of the moto by getting by Lindner and taking the checkered flag while Dustin Lepke got around Streeter to round out the top three. The second heat had Austin Schreier

Marty Leum was rocking on his two stroke while winning Masters and Unlimited Open.

grabbing the holeshot before dropping to sixth and a pass to the LCQ. Lewis Medearis capitalized early, only to make his own mistake and end up seventh.

Kyle Harris was the beneficiary of all this and took the win with Dawson Prielipp and Ryan Phillips in tow.

Schreier redeemed himself later by grabbing the checkered flag with Medearis not too far

behind.

All of this set up what was sure to be an exciting main event.

Once the bungee flew, it was Stewart taking control right from the beginning. By the end of the first lap, it was Stewart, Medearis, and the LCQ winning Schreier. Stewart slowly pulled away, grabbing the easy win.

Medearis finished second and Schreier remained in third.

When the cord let loose for the full Quad class, so did the carnage. It didn’t take Tomah’s Jaden Bailey long to show the rest of the class who was going to dominate the heat race. Jay Mittelstaedt put in some hard laps on his Polaris, but Bailey made it look rather easy while taking the checkers and assuring himself the top gate spot for the main. The yellow flag seemed to be a permanent fixture over the bigger tabletop jump during the heat as guys had a hard time dealing with the landing they were dealt if they didn’t downside the landing. Everybody came out unscathed though, with the exception of maybe some bruised pride.

When they lined up and the cord snapped for the main, I was convinced it’d be another easy win for the #133 Yamaha of Bailey as he grabbed the holeshot.

Mittelstaedt had plans to make this more exciting for the crowd and snuck by Bailey in the whoops and, slowly but surely, checked out unchallenged. Bailey wound up second followed

by Phil Holloway and Jacob

Powell.

Talking with local rider Chris Birkness about the day, he had this to say, “This was my first MX/SX race of any kind and I raced the Vet and Masters classes. The Vet heat was the first big bike class out, and man was it muddy! I was ultra-roosted by a 450 and was the muddiest guy out there. By the end of the day, there were some nice lines worked in and it definitely came around from what it was in the morning”. Chris managed a second place in the Vet heat race and a solid third in the main. Not bad for a first race! Chris continued, “It’s great for the area, and the locals love it!”

FCA Motocross Camp Taylorville, Illinois - July 5-9

By James Pinckard

T

he Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) is the largest Christian sports organization in America. Since 1954 the FCA has been giving like minded athletes a chance to share their faith and talent. The goal of the FCA is to serve local communities by equipping, empowering, and encouraging people to make a difference for Christ. This year the theme of the FCA camps was “Unleash the Power”.

One special aspect of FCA MX camp is the national pro riders who give on-site support and instruction to campers. Riders have included industry greats like Nathan Ramsey, James Povolny, Mike LaRocco, Andrew Short, Justin Buckelew, Kevin Windham, Sara Whitmore, Ronnie Fiest, Travis Preston, Joe Gibbs Racing, the brothers Sipes, Johnson and more. This is an impressive line up and testament of faith in the MX industry. I know at some of the Pro races Steve Hudson has asked the top riders to give back their time and be greatful for what they have. The message has hit home and the future looks to have many more top riders for sure.

The Illinois camp at Southfork Dirt Riders in Taylorville, IL had star power in droves!

Campers were thrilled to see Red Bull factory Honda rider Andrew Short, Yamaha rider Ryan Sipes, James Povolny, Sara Whitmore and KTM Free style superstar “Cowboy” Kenny Bartram.

Unlike some motocross schools where one star athlete instructs multiple riders in a group, FCA MX camps feature multiple pro instructors like Suzuki rider Alex Wentzel, Honda rider Klint Silvey, Ben Linderman, Paden Feagans and long time camper James Gresham This week-long residential experience provides a unique focus on the relationship between the pro racer and campers who spend 24-7 with each other in “huddles”. At Southfork, campers were broken 56

CYCLE USA, August 2010

out in to groups based on ability and bike size. The approach gave each camper plenty of one-onone time with instructors in addition to track time, which was split into sections where each group worked a specific area before rotating in to another.

Each day of camp was packed full of events, which started at 6:30am and ended with lights out at 10pm. Campers rode until 3 pm before taking time out for bike maintenance and a trip to the swimming hole. Evenings were action packed with bands, awards, games, church services and huddle time. Evening featured a Camp Idol contest that campers and pros practiced all week for and my favorite was watching James Gresham and crew performing their song “Im on a Bike” (Which you can see the final remake on you tube) Andrew Short spent an afternoon talking to campers about his life, faith, and racing. He answered all the questions the campers could come up with.

Pastor Steve Hudson brought it all full circle on the last night when he delivered the same Christian message he shares with the world’s best Supercross and Pro National riders.

He talked about the challenge of being a Christian in today’s

world and in the MX industry.

Steve’s words resonated among the crowd and almost 20 people came forward to be baptized at the swimming hole, with faith

filled circle of friends and fellow motocross families. This was definitely an inspiring experience and it’s one to be remembered for a long time to come.

Stone Lake Hare Scrambles Stone Lake, Wisconsin - July, 11

By Michael C. Pohl

T

he Straight Arrow Enduro Riders staged the second annual Hare Scrambles race at the Summit Lake Game Farm, near Stone Lake, Wisconsin. Trail Boss Mike Murphy “Murph” put a lot of thought

into this year’s course. “I wanted it to be just a bit longer than last year’s, with a little more challenge for the A/B riders.” Last year’s inaugural hare scrambles was highly praised.

Apparently word got around; over 100 more riders lined up on the grid this year. I personally worked this event as a sweep rider.

Rider Gary Walton summed up the race for many competitors: “…what a blast this race was. Moto track was super-fun, yet oldguy friendly, forest roads and grass track made for great variety and just enough of a taste of the infamous Stone Lake rocks to

keep the pucker factor in the red. …I like events that are more race and flow, not just survival, so this one is at the top of my list.

What a cool facility, as well.”

Nate Ferderer and Dylan Debel battled fiercely on every one of their seven trips around the course. “We passed each other in corners and banged handlebars during passes, the course was awesome”, said last year’s winner Debel.

Ferderer took the victory by twenty-three seconds over Debel, making this his third win of the five H/S events in District 23 thus far.

Ferderer has been dominating the District 23 enduro series this year, too, winning all three events to-date. Kyle Nelson, Tim Nienow and JD Friebel brought up 3rd, 4th and 5th places, respectively. It is hard to describe the speeds

these guys attain on the trails.

They literally fly through the woods. It’s easy to tell when they are about to arrive in your section; they have the throttles absolutely pinned and sound like roaring lions compared to the rest of us mere trail-mortals. Yet, they are in complete and total control of their bikes as they thunder past at speed. Amazing.

Much like last year’s event, the day started with rain. But it stopped by the time the MiniMicro riders took to the course.

This created almost made-toorder ground conditions; no dust, no mud. A/B riders rode 7.4 miles per lap, with C/ Premier/ Masters running 6.4 miles. The mile-long A/B section was tight, rocky and technical. Meanwhile, the C riders bypassed this gnarly section with a combination of gravel roads and single track. All riders were then spit out of the woods onto a short downhill drop, putting them into the scoring booth, run by Tawnia Stukel.

Overall winner Nate Ferderer.

Thanks to this system, and Tawnia’s management of it, trophies are handed out much, much

Welcome Sugar Maple MX Hillpoint, Wisconsin - July 4

By Dave Hollub

W

hat better day for a promoter’s dream to come true other than Independence Day? On July 4, 2010 all of Jason Erdmann’s dreams and countless hours of hard work paid off as he hosted his first ever AMA District 16 motocross race at Sugar Maple MX. On Saturday more than 70 riders showed up to dial in Wisconsin’s newest track, and then on Sunday 125 entries put it on the line.

The first gate drop went to Eric Hollub in 250A as he barely edged out Colton Karl. Then it was the 250B class taking the second of a double drop. Jake Luginbuhl grabbed the holeshot with Derek Denruiter right on his rear wheel. Luginbuhl immediately had his hands full as he got pressure from Denruiter and Brandon Clifford. By the time everyone came out of the last woods section Clifford was out front followed by Denruiter and then Luginbuhl. Myles Marshall and Steven Ceithamer were bat-

tling for fourth and closing in on the leaders. Next time out of the woods Ceithamer had worked his way into third and now had Cesco Lama pushing him hard.

Clifford was able to get some breathing room, but the next four riders were all within bike lengths of each other. On lap four Ceithamer slipped into second in the off camber corner by the start. Lama made his move to get into third, then went down falling back to sixth.

Clifford took the moto two holeshot with Mat Herrington pushing him. As lap two began it was Clifford out front with Lama and Herrington close. Clifford and Lama held their spots to the finish. On lap two Ceithamer slipped by Herrington for third.

Clifford (1/1) took the overall, Ceithamer (2/3) was second, and Lama (6/2) finished off the top three.

Matthew Massari grabbed the 85Sr holeshot in moto one.

Next time past the start Joshua Wheeler was out front with Massari and Austin Nelson chasing hard. Nelson got by Massari on

Brady Bill took the overalls in 85Jr and 65cc with four moto wins.

lap two in the west end. Wheeler pushed hard and over the double and got back out front. On lap three Wheeler went down at the top of Hollub’s Hollow leaving the door open for Nelson to take the moto win. Wheeler recovered fast and finished second.

Nelson wasn’t going to be denied in moto two and grabbed a big holeshot, then pounded out laps to stay out front all the way to the checkers. Wheeler slipped into second and Derek Medearis held on to third despite pressure from Massari. Nelson won the overall with a 1/1 day while Wheeler (2/2) was second.

At most tracks the Sportsman B/C class has the most running battles and today was no exception. In moto one it was Mathew Meyers grabbing the holeshot. As they headed into the whoops Meyers was out front with Luginbuhl and Marshall right behind him. Marshall made a move in the Stadium section to move into second. As the pack dropped into the first valley on lap three Ceithamer had slipped past Marshall and Luginbuhl.

Marshall was able to get by Cei-

thamer before they came out of the woods and then he made a pass for the lead over the Tunnel Plateau jump. Meyers hit the whoops just fast enough to regain the lead. Marshall and Meyers dropped into the third woods valley bar to bar. Marshall slid out on the bottom and fell back into fifth. Meyers took a hard earned moto win.

Meyers again took the holeshot in moto two but this time it was Cody Fredrick looking for an opening to take the lead. Shawn Haus was running third with Ceithamer challenging him in each corner. By the halfway point in lap two Fredrick was sticking a wheel in on Meyers every chance he got and Ceithamer was running third with Lama fourth. As they dropped into the first valley Fredrick took the lead. On lap three Ceithamer used the same strategy to pick off second from Meyers. Ceithamer (1/2) grabbed the overall, Meyers (2/3) was second, and Fredrick (7/1) was third.

It looked like Brittany Lemke was going to take the Womens holeshot in moto one

but Tammy Flemming swept inside and stole it away. Lemke made her move in the whoops to pass Flemming. Chelsey Bill and Sierra Dortch moved to second and third in the first lap. Dortch began hunting down Bill used the off camber to move into second.

Just before their moto two start the sky opened up with a downpour and as the gate dropped the track was muddy and slippery.

Lemke capitalized by grabbing the holeshot with Bill right behind. As the pack dropped into the first woods section only Lemke and Dortch managed to make it through all three sections because of slippery conditions.

Lemke led the rest of the moto and Dortch finished second. Lemke used her 1/1 finishes to take the overall.

In Quad A Jim Daniel grabbed the holeshot with Jay Mittelstaedt close behind.

Daniels led the first three laps but Mittelstaedt was just waiting for an opening to slip by. On lap three in the stadium section Mittelstaedt made his move on the step on/step off.

In moto two Daniels was first around the holeshot and used the mud to his advantage.

As Daniels stayed clean he was able to stay out front with a comfortable lead to the finish and the overall win with a 2/1 day.

Daniels later commented, “That second moto was a mess, all the mud. Whoever got out front and had the lead got all the benefit.

The first moto I led about half of it. I like this track a lot. I want to thank Team 19, Sam Spatz my mechanic, and my parents.”

The final class was Senior 40+, and Jeff Ramsay powered his Honda out front in the holeshot in moto one. Ramsay held onto the lead to the finish. Tim Hytry held second for the first lap, but soon had Tom Ferguson breathing down his neck. Ferguson made his move as he passed the start on lap two.

Michael Barta was holding off Wayne Slagle for fourth but on the final lap Slagle slipped into fourth just before the checkers flew.

Moto two saw several riders sitting out and packing up clean bikes to head home, but Barta led the guys that came out around the holeshot. Chris Halverson was holding on in second with Slagle coming on hard. Slagle got around Halverson midway through the opening lap and began chasing after Barta.

On lap three Slagle found the opening he needed and slipped into the lead. Barta continued to chase Slagle to the finish and as the checkers flew was edged out of the moto win.

Slagle (4/1) took the overall, Barta (6/2) was second, and Halverson (9/3) took third overall.

Keegan Cummins won the 250C overall and finished second in 125Jr, “The day went really good, I didn’t crash at all. The track was nice and I have been practicing here a lot so I was ready. In 250C I had some good lines and some of the riders helped me out by not hitting the jumps. I just tried to ride smooth.

In 125Jr I won the first moto but then hit the

gate in the second The Quads got a little dirty in moto two. moto start. I rode hard and worked all the way up to second.

Thanks to Mittelstaedt racing, Brewster Lanes, Reedsburg Salvage, and my Mom and Dad.” Track owner Jason Erdmann was still running around making sure everyone was happy and getting comments from riders on how to make his track even better, but from the smile on his face it looked like the comments were all positive. I Ramsay did overhear him saying to one guy “Just wait +30B/C: 1.Ted Coplien Jr. 2.Brandon Yanke until the August race I have some ideas for the 3.Thomas Conroy 4.Troy Fisher 5.Tammy Flemming +30A: 1.Dirk Brown 2.Tom Ferguson 3.Wayne Slatrack that you will not believe.” Despite the gle last motos being in the mud the track held up +40: 1.Wayne Slagle 2.Michael Barta 3.Chris great and provided a challenge for all levels Halverson 4.Donald Fulkerson 5.Douglas Ninneman +50: 1.Michael Barta 2.Ted Coplien 3.Brian Olson of riders.

Nystrom Cleans-up at Sugar Camp Rhinelander, Wisconsin - June 26/ 27

By Doug Forstner

W

ith the exception of his first moto of the weekend, Hunter Nystrom of Amberg, Wisconsin was perfect every single moto, and won all his classes on the weekend. Honda mounted Nystrom took the overall in both 250B and Sportsman B/C both days. His quick starts were key in the awesome results.

Friday night greeted Sugar Camp, WI with torrential rains and storms. The downpour left acres of water standing everywhere in the north woods. Saturday morning saw at least a break in the bad weather, although it was cloudy most of the day. The multiple inches of rain left the track a bit muddy for the first set of motos. Although, if there is a track in the district that can handle rain, its Sugar Camp, and the riders knew that if the rain held off, conditions would be epic.

Sugar Camp is known for its sand and “old school” natural characteristics of the long rough straights, steep hills and drop-offs, wide track, and its tough sand whoops.

Peewee Sr. class on Saturday saw Mitchell Nooyen, Bailey Otis and John Bolvin, all Cobra mounted, get out front early.

The ruts and mud were pretty challenging for the little warriors, and staying up was key.

Damion Cornelia from Crystal Falls, MI was up to the challenge and he started to give Bolvin a battle for third. Out front Otis and Nooyen started to pull away and a massive race was on. The two went back and forth throughout the moto, but Otis came away with the moto win. Bolvin was able to hold off Cornelia as they battled to the checkers.

Hunter Nystrom was the 250B and Sportsman class winner both days.

Rounding out the top five was the only four stroke rider in the class, Sam Forstner on his Yamaha TTR50.

Moto two was much better conditions but again Otis and Nooyen were the top of the class. These two know how to put the ham-

mer down as they were actually doubling the section after the spectator plateau. Remember people, ten inch wheels and about 25 foot gaps with muddy rutted jump faces. This time though, Nooyen got the better of Otis and was able to win the moto and the overall. Bolvin again finished in third, rounding out the podium.

Local rider Chad Johnson decided to show up and have a go at the A classes on his KTM. It was a wise choice as he tore up the sand track and still has what it takes to ride at the top. He won +25A and also Open A. In the Open A class, Nathan Laporte tried his best to hang with Johnson and by doing so found himself running solidly in second. Third place Dylan Narel had a couple Michigan riders giving chase in Eric Uren and Jake Zeugner.

Johnson would go on to win moto one ahead of Laporte, Narel, Uren and Zeugner.

Moto two again saw Laporte trying to latch onto the rear fender of Johnson, but Johnson eventually just smoothly stretched out his lead. Eric Palosaari and Dylan Koth both had tough runs in moto one, but in moto two both gated well and were running up front. Narel and Bill Medek were battling for fifth. Koth’s third place in moto two was good enough to get him a fifth overall in a stacked

As the riders were rounding Sugar Camp be a double header for a northern race is a great idea as almost all the riders decide to stay and race There was a good turnout for this year’s both days, which turns the place racing at Sugar Camp. into one big campground for the night. There’s something magical about really feeling like you are on vacation, even if you have to clean muddy bikes all night. The night’s fun was again cut short and the bench racing would have to wait until the another day as the weather forecast started calling for more rain and this time around high winds and flash flooding.

I was afraid to wake up Sunday morning, but low and behold I got up and the sun was shining. I just knew this was going to be another great day. Although we had sloppy motos in the morning, the track was shaping up great throughout the day.

A moto that really caught my eye was the Mini 85cc 12-15 class.

A pair of Suzukis were out front battling for the holeshot, #13 Dennis Ponton from Lakewood, WI coming out in front of the class.

D17 Bonus Points draw crowd Taylorville, Illinois - July 11

By James Pinckard

A

fter a week of FCA Motocross camp and riding with Andrew Short, Ryan Sipes, Sara Whitmore and Cowboy Kenny Bartram it was time to put those new skills to work and go racing! This event was also one of the District 17 Bonus point’s races bringing many riders in search of the district championships. Others were in search of the SFDR track championship points. The weather was great even if it was hot, the track was in great shape and just the fact we all got to be with our friends and family doing what we love was priceless!

The 250C class was the biggest of the day which made for some great racing. In the first moto Honda riders Conner Robinson and Travis Johnson set the pace for the class and finished first and second. Yamaha rider Alexander Ashworth took his Yamaha to third. One thing about the C class, consistency can be a weakness of some riders. This race was no different accept for Robinson who from the start of the second moto took the lead in put in a great ride taking the moto and overall win. Honda rider Cody Willenborg took second with Yamaha rider Colby Chaney who had a bad first moto, turning things around with a strong third this time.

With Robinson taking the overall, second overall went to Johnson with Willenborg third, making it a Honda sweep! In fact Honda rider Kyle Baum finished fourth both motos Colby Chaney finished third in the second 250C moto.

for fourth overall. +30B class battle between Another class with a large #133 Ryan Walker and turnout was +30B. A class where Matt Westlake. many of the riders are just out to have some fun doesn’t mean that there’s not a lot of great racing.

When the gate dropped it was Halls Cycles Husky rider Matt Westlake who jumped to the front taking the moto win. Suzuki rider Ryan Walker was also on the gas taking second with Lee Harrison third for the moto.

In the second moto Walker had his two-stroke smoking, taking the moto and overall win. “I usually race hare scrambles, but decided to race this motocross”. Behind Walker, Westlake tried but just couldn’t match his first moto score and finished second for the moto and overall. Who had the best seat in the house for the battle?

Donny Schmit Memorial MX Millville, Minnesota - July 16

By Rolfe Otterness

M

otocross riders by the hundreds, actually totalling 760 entries, took advantage of the well-prepped Spring Creek to celebrate another opportunity for amateur motocross glory as the Donny Schmit Memorial race was held once more. This race has been a staple on the Minnesota race calender for many years and usually draws a big crowd of out of staters to spice up the competition. “Top rider of the day” had to go to the amazing Bruce Gates who dominated the +25, +30 and +40A classes. Racing against riders 20 years younger than himself in some cases and winning all six motos, it was only fitting that he was out front on Donny Schmit day.

Gates and Donny “Peanut” Schmit had many wild duels on their 80cc minis back in the day, and Bruce was a pretty quick pro in his prime.

Now, a couple of decades later, we can check in on some likely future pros looking to make a mark in the 250B class. The class was split down the middle into two divisions with the top 20 riders from each heading to the final. Division 1 featured a holeshot by Jeremy Martin with challenger Zach Williams dropping into pursuit. Martin flubbed up late in the moto and Williams inherited the win with Branson Riehm and William Doane taking the podium spots. In Division 2 Jeremy Ledin showed good speed and launched into the lead early and ran off with the win.

Ryan Fetzer and Logan Lewis trailed him in for second and third.

Williams took off in the final and found himself in a good spot with Riehm comfortably behind him and Martin buried in the pack after an early getoff. Williams stretched his lead and took a strong win over Riehm. Derek Hullett took third over Ledin with Fetzer fifth. Martin did recover from last to seventh.

Joe Perron won 14-24A.

CYCLE USA, August 2010

Williams is no doubt preparing for a strong run at the amateur nationals and it will be interesting to see how he and Martin run there.

Cody Breeden burst into the early lead as the Schoolboy class was dropped for moto one. Lucas Lowe, running out of Michigan displaced him quickly, and started to edge away from the field as a battle shaped up behind. Breeden, Coby Ockenga and Keenan Strom locked into a confrontation which lasted for most of the moto, but on the last lap chaos ensued. Strom jumped from fourth to second, Titan Immel popped up to third and Ockenga salvaged a fourth over Tyler Skaggs.

Breeden recovered from his troubles to take eighth.

Lowe led even more in the next moto as he took control from the starting gate all the way to the checkered. A good dogfight broke out with Breeden, Strom and Immel over second, third and fourth. Strom took second away from Breeden on the last lap and Immel slid out in a turn to drop back from the others, but held on to fourth as the flag flapped. Ockenga captured fifth not too far back.

Jerry Robin hustled his YZ85 into the

lead of the 85cc 12-15 class as they hit the trail for moto one. Arch rival Henry Miller dropped into second and as usual they were very closely matched in lap times. At the end of the moto, Robin held steady to take a win ahead of Miller. I third Nolan Heppner came out on top of a battle with Travis Prier and Blaze Best.

Moto two’s start belonged once again to Robin and he led the first lap but he bungled a turn on lap two, handing the lead to Miller.

That was enough and Miller took firm grasp of the moto, winning by about five seconds over Robin. Prier crossed the line for third with Chase Evans fourth.

Dalton Carlson made his presence known in the Open A class with a solid run, dissecting the gnarly Millville track with skill and precision to win moto one. Jamie Ledin looked pretty solid for second with Tyson Humphrey third a bit behind him. Jale Loberg moved up to finish fourth over Kelly Brown.

Moto two worked exactly the same with all five reprising their fine finishes for true consistency but it still featured some hard charging race action.

Be sure to check out the Viking Clash coming to Spring Creek Park August 28-29.

Schultz almost perfect at Rock River Climb Polo, Illinois - June 20

By Bud Northrup

W

ade (‘Wild Wade’) Schultz was the star of the show at the Rock River Riders hill climb, missing a perfect day by only 36 thousandths of a second. He claimed two firsts and a second, as well as setting the fastest time of the day.

His first win came in the Open class on his big bore Suzuki, where he set the first round fast time of 3.300 seconds. Nobody in the class could beat that time in the second round, but Kurt Krohmer set a new fast time of 3.140 seconds in the 600cc class. Schultz was up to that challenge and flew his Suzuki over the top in 3.094 seconds to seal the Open class win, as well as the Fast Time Award.

Schultz’s second win came in the Senior (+40) class on his Honda CR500, with a 3.157 second winning ride in the second round, overtaking Jon Creek who carded a 3.361 second time to get under Schultz’s class leading time in the first round.

Schultz’s bid for a perfect day was ruined by the Krohmer ride in the 600cc class.

Schultz was close with a 3.186 second run on his Honda, but had to settle for a second place in that class, with Creek running third.

Jeff Jack and Matt Altfillisch were also

double class winners. Jack’s first win came in the 200cc class where he posted a good 3.706 second ride in the first round on his KTM, which held up for the win. Chris Senn and Kyle Galloway claimed second and third.

In the Super Senior (+50) class action, Jack was in second place behind Mike Bacon at the intermission, but twisted the throttle tight on his KX500 on his second run to sail over the top in an excellent 3.307 seconds for the win.

Altfillisch took his first win in the 450cc class on his Honda thumper, coming off a first round crash to post a class winning 3.309 second time for the win. Dan Groth also crashed on his first ride, but popped over the top in 3.408 seconds in the second round for second place, with Chad Altfillisch third.

Altfillisch brought his Honda back in the 600cc four stroke class, and came from behind again for the win. His first run had him in fifth place at the break, but he hammered the hill with a 3.217 second effort on his second ride for the win, with Kurt Krohmer second and brother Chad third.

The Altfillisch family had a very good day as Chad claimed a win in the 250cc class with a 3.582 second run for the win, with Krohmer taking second again.

In Youth class action, young Andrew Fortner was the only rider to top the hill,

doing it in 5.883 seconds on his KX85 for the 85Jr win. Other Youth winners were Emily Schultz in the 50cc class, Hank Smith in the 65cc class and Dan Winberg in 85Sr. Results: 50cc: 1.Emily Schultz 2.Easton Mocgan 3.Treyton Hanson 4.Allison Roland 5.Lacey Burtlow.

“We are thrilled to be back in Minnesota at such a premiere facility,” AMA Flat Track President Mike Kidd said. “ The team at Canterbury Park has been very involved in every preplanning aspect of this event to make sure the experience is top level.”

The Minnesota Mile is welcomed locally

The AMA Pro Flat Track Grand National Championship is the oldest and most traditional form of motorcycle racing, tracing its roots back to the early 1900's when young daredevils tested each other on county fairground ovals all around the United States. In 1954, Joe Leonard was crowned the first Grand National Champion, accumulating the most points in the new series. At the end of the 2010 season, the rider who accumulates the most combined points in Expert Twins and Expert Singles events will be crowned the 2010 AMA Pro Grand National Champion and carry the #1 plate.

Muddy Waters Midwest VMX event Port Byron, Illinois - July 10

By Clint Landis

R

ound four of the Midwest VMX series took place at Muddy Waters MX track in Port Byron, Illinois, our second year at this gorgeous track on the edge of the Quad Cities. No rain, just a well prepped track, strong turnout and sunny skies. If you haven’t had a chance to ride Muddy Waters, you should find the opportunity to check it out.

Lots of shade and elevation changes make for a really great racing experience.

For those not familiar with Midwest VMX (www.midwestvmx.com), we run a series focused on creating a fun, friendly racing environment. And even though we love our vintage bikes, we also offer a wide range of modern classes too, for riders that really don’t want to race the whoops or big double jumps!

Anyway, checkout our web-site or better yet, come and race with us.

Thanks to track owners Tony and Julie Mclaughlin for doing such a great job preparing the track. They rerouted us around the large finish line jump and tamed down a few other sections to suit the VMX desires. We had a really nice mix of the regulars along with some new vintage riders, and some local modern riders. I have to say, one of the most impressive rides of the day was from Kyleigh Mclaughlin (yes, that’s her parents track)! in winning the Modern 250C class. Kyleigh also beat some really good Modern B riders in the same moto as she demonstrated the fastest way around the track. And Kyleigh’s younger brother Taylor also had a strong performance winning the 85cc class. Also in the modern classes, it was fun to have Robert Dixon show up in the Modern Open A class, and demonstrate how to hit the up hill quad. Amazing to watch - I’d prefer not to try it myself. Finally, in the modern classes, Mark Doose had two hard fought wins in the 12/16 schoolboy and 14/24 classes against season long rivals John Landis and Jarrett Winder - great job Mark!

In the vintage classes, we had such a great variety of bikes and riders. From Jerry

Rewerts on his gorgeous Triumph, to John Bacher on his new 1984 Honda CR250 to Ryan Fulmar on his on his beautifully prepared 1980 CR250 Honda. It’s always fun to see these well maintained mx bikes from some many eras back on the track racing, as they were meant to be. Speaking of Ryan Fulmar, represented both old and new with a dominating performance in the Evolution Heavyweight B class on his 1980 Honda along with a win in the Modern 250B class onboard a Suzuki.

Similarly, Jim Swinson took wins in both the evo/revo +50B vintage class as well as the Modern +50B class.

As always, Gerry Booth had a very strong performance riding a beautifully prepared Suzuki RM250 in the Innovation Heavyweight A class beating fellow expert and multiple series champion John Bacher.
