all continued, “I guess there is room in today’s world for the mom and pop shops. We have been a Husqvarna dealer since 1974 and this is the first time we have been picked for the Top National Award.

With eight full time employees and two part time employees, and with times what they are, it is a good sign of times for the Midwest. For the last three years we have made a big push, and it has paid off. This award should go to my employees. Their hard work along with my wife Tammy earned us this award. We all are proud of our accomplishments.”

From the Back of the Pack By Mike Quinn, D23 Chairman It has been a long month of July. I apologize for missing last month’s issue. It is hard to report that one of our long time members and an active board member for the past decade has passed away. Ross Thompson has been riding and racing Motocross for better than 20 of his 39 years. Ross attended an event, came off the track and was later found near his trailer, the victim of an apparent acute heart attack. Ross loved being at the track. The moto community was his family, he many friends, helped many a racer get started in MX, and was just an all around superior person. Always positive, hard working, and dedicated to the sport are the best adjectives I can think of to describe him. He will be missed dearly by many of us. Keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. We can say that he went with his boots on which is the way he wanted it to be. Godspeed Ross. The Spring Creek National was a success with no real surprises. Home track boy Ryan Dungey went 1-1 in the 250cc class and Chad Reed came away with another overall win when Josh Grant went down in a first turn melee at the start of moto 2. I always look forward to the Pro race as it gives me the chance to catch up with many of the people I don’t see nearly as much as I used to. District 23

also used the intermission to present a memorial award to Bob’s Cycle employees Rob Jara and Scott Muellner in honor of former owner “ Cycle Bob” Widstrand. Stop by the shop and take a look at the award it is worth the trip. For the younger element among us Bob was the first man to take the business to the track on race day, a practice that is now common place nationally. In the future I hope to do an article on a safety device called the Helmet Eject system. I have had the occasion to use this device twice in the last 8 weeks. Quite simply it is a small folded bag that is fitted in top of your helmet with a tube that can be reached from outside the helmet and if there is suspicion of a neck injury the bag is inflated and forces the helmet off of the head without medical personnel having to move the neck. This is critical in suspected or actual neck injury. It has saved more than one rider from more severe injuries in the presence of neck injury. Look into the device. I highly recommend getting one for your helmet. This device is required for all of the Pro MX racers now and is well worth the few dollars spent for it. I do not have any relationship with the company I am speaking strictly from a rescue point of view. Board business: There is not a lot to report. Remember that your rules changes need to be submitted to the district office or myself by

the 15th of September. Please have them well written and your name on them so we know who to contact with questions. Our membership numbers are right on our prediction and financially we are with in budget. We are still working on the lead ban issue with our senators and representatives. We are expecting some changes to the current standards to be announced later this year. We will be making a proposal at he next board meeting to have the results of all the MX races in by 7:00 PM on the day following the race so we can have the points posted to the web site by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. Remember we still have a lot of our season left with many events to go. I hope to see you at some of these events. It has been a good season so far and can only get better as we near the end of it. See you on the tracks and trails on Minnesota. Mike District 16 Awards Banquet. District 16 will be holding the annual meeting and awards banquet at the Kalahari Resort in the Wisconsin Dells. Room reservations need to be made directly with the hotel by Oct. 13th to receive a special rate.

Hoag prevails at Fun Valley Montezuma, Iowa - August 8 By Mark Bonnell Photos by Missi Thede

s round 22 of the Iowa State Motocross Series got underway at Montezuma, Iowa’s Fun Valley Moto-X facility, the rain began to fall on the well prepped facility. Even though the track was in excellent shape, it was going to make things difficult for the racers and workers alike. The classes that would have the most difficulty with the conditions on this day were those on the 50’s. The third moto of the day was one of those classes, 50Sr. As the riders left the line and made their way up and towards the first turn, Hunter Utsler was in front with Zach Zimmerman, Chase Cooper and Blake Hoag close behind. About half way into the first lap, Utsler slid out in a corner and went down on the back side of a jump. As the light rain continued to fall, the conditions quickly got worse. Three other riders fell or slid off the track as they attempted to make their way around the course. Zach Zimmerman was in the lead as the riders made their Blake Hoag under the gun from #961 Dylan Smith. way past the scorers and over but the track now had some pretty deep ruts the huge finish line jump.

Peters near perfect at Cahokia Creek White city, Illinois - July 19 By Bud Northrup Photos by Gordon Green

att Peters won all three classes he entered and set the top two fastest times at the Cahokia Creek Dirt Riders night hill climb near White City, Illinois. Peters took the first round lead in the 250cc class with a 4.191 second time on his CR250, but Dylan Brady and Robert Fortner slipped under that in the second half with times of 4.026 and 4.100 seconds. Peters blew them away, however, with a sizzling 3.690 second high flying ride on his second turn to take a convincing win and setting a new Fast Time for the evening. Peters first round time in the 450cc class would have been good enough for that win, but he bettered it himself in the second round with a fine 3.793 second time on his KTM380. Tim Reid and Jay Rettig filled in the top three. Peters had to come from behind in the 600cc class, where his first ride of 4.456 seconds had him in fifth place at intermission, with Andy Fortner in the lead with a 4.011 second time. In the second round Peters unleashed an incredible, perfect run, sailing over the top in 3.671 seconds for the win and the overall Fast Time. Fortner and Brady responded with very fast 3.727 and 3.779 second runs, but had to settle for second and third places. Peters lost his bid for a clean sweep

when Brady edged him in the winner take all King of the Hill class for the ten top riders of the evening. Brady delivered a 3.795 second run to take the ‘crown’ from Peters and the other top riders. Brady enjoyed a double class wins as he also claimed the 125cc class in the second round, after crashing at 110 feet on his first ride. He was the only 125 class rider to see the top, with Nathan Fay and Jacob Petty crashing at 116 and 115 feet, his closest challengers. The Peters family had a very good night as Matt’s brother, Mark claimed the Senior (+40) class win and his nephew, Chris, was the 600cc 4-stroke winner. ‘Fast Andy’ had a double win evening, his first coming in the 750cc class with a very quick 3.767 second time on his Kawasaki three cylinder screamer. He had the third fastest time of the night. He also claimed the win in the 400cc Stock class, posting the top two times in that class - 4.103 and 4.063 seconds. Kyle Galloway and Mike Pulver claimed the next two spots. The Fortner family also celebrated a great family outing as Andy’s son, Andrew took the 65cc youth class win with a 6.437 second run on his KX65. Levi Peters and Reece Hutton followed him.

Dungey dazzles Millville crowd Millville, Minnesota - July 18 By Pete Emme

t was a Suzuki sweep during round 7 of the 2009 Lucas Oil AMA Motocross Championships at Millville, Minnesota as Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey and Chad Reed toppled the 250cc and 450cc classes respectively. For Dungey, it was his third overall victory of the season, but his first since Texas, and it was also a welcoming win in front of his hometown fans in Minnesota. For Reed, he established himself as the man to beat at the Nationals in the 450cc class. A different look was obvious at Millville as Schaefer Tracks did some tuning up to the Millville circuit. The boys, which mostly hail from Wisconsin, were selected to perform some track maintenance, hoping the racers and thousands of fans would like the new look and feel of Spring Creek MX Park. Some of the changes that occurred included a widening of the track, re-facing the jumps and all sides of the jumps and even a little tractor work in the famous whoops and hills that line the facility. I rode the Donny Schmit Memorial Race, and the track was as close to perfection as you could ever hope for. I simply had a blast on it. This year the event was held during the third week of July, traditionally it was held in mid-August. The weather at Millville is usually hot and muggy but it was almost like being in another country this time around. Temperatures were hovering near the 60 degree mark all weekend. This didn’t hamper racing one bit as it kept the track nice and moist, and fans were treated to some good racing, both amateur and pros alike. In the 450cc class, points leader Chad Reed rocketed out of the gate ahead of 40 eager holeshot enthusiasts to put his Rockstar Suzuki out front with Red Bull Honda rider Ivan Tedesco in tow. Yamaha rider Josh Grant eventually got around Tedesco in the whoop section. Grant then set his sights on the leader Reed and got around him as they completed lap one. Reed never let go of the young Yamaha star as the Millville crowd was treated to some great 1-2 racing. Grant held on for his second moto win in a row dating back to Red Bud. Reed finished a close second while teammate Michael Byrne finished third. Rounding out the top five was the Kawasaki rider

of Tommy Hahn and Honda’s Ivan Tedesco. In the second moto Grant and Reed lined up side by side next to the booth. As the gate dropped Reed got the edge to the first corner over Grant, but it was Tedesco who got the holeshot. Grant would wind up in a pile of bikes just as they cleared the first corner and he re-entered the race in the 36th position. Tedesco held Reed off early, but Reed assumed the number one position shortly after as Grant pounded his way through the pack. Grant eventually wound up in 10th, giving him fourth overall on the day. Reed checked out for the second win and the overall via 2-1 postings. It was his second overall win on the year. Finishing second overall on the day was Ivan Tedesco with a 5-2 tally while Michael Byrne posted a 3-4 for third. An impressive ride was put in by Honda rider Kyle Regal. Regal, a longtime Suzuki support rider, bought a leftover 2008 Honda CRF450R with his own money to race Millville and finished an amazing sixth in the second moto, ahead of several factory riders. "I was disappointed (with the first moto)," explained Reed. "I felt I had a win in me. But we made some changes (to the bike) between races and I felt a lot more comfortable in the second moto. I think this weekend was a huge weight off of my shoulders. I definitely felt more myself and was able

to put in a much better effort and ride strong in both motos." The story of course at Millville was all about home state favorite Ryan Dungey in the 250cc class as he pulled a nice holeshot in the first moto to lead the pack around the carved hills of Millville. Honda’s Justin Barcia was right behind Dungey on the start as Christophe Pourcel was in third. Barcia went down on one of the hills as Pourcel assumed second. Pourcel had nothing for the hometown kid as Dungey’s margin of vicnew Geico/Honda rider Alex Martin finished 11th overall in the 250cc class.

the camel Back jump is always impressive.

tory was a whopping 30 seconds. Millville was also the spotlight for John and Greta Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creation, that being Alex Martin. Alex was picked up by Geico/Honda earlier in the week and made his debut aboard the hotly contested team. Alex finished a very respectable eighth in the moto. The second moto had Pourcel making some bike changes between motos and vowed to be in the hunt this time around. Pourcel and Dungey lined up next to each other, but it was Dungey fast out of the gate right behind Justin Barcia and Blake Wharton. Barcia is just a fun kid to watch on the track. He gained so many fans this year by leading some motos at Glen Helen, and watching him scrub the faces of jumps makes you forget who James Stewart is. Ha ha. He is very impressive. Dungey finally got around, as did Pourcel, and the fans at Millville finally got to see the battle theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been waiting for. For the first time since Glen Helen it was Dungey and Pourcel battling it out for the top spot. The two riders set some fast times and increased the pace as the moto wore on, but Pourcel made a

mistake before the Holy Schmit going over in a berm, letting the Suzuki prodigy pull away for another moto win and the overall. Barcia went a solid 3-3 for third, Metcalfe 4-4 for 4th while Brock Tickle took 5th overall with 6-5 scores. "From High Point on it's been a little bit of a struggle," stated Dungey.

Azzie DT avoids rain-out Aztalan, Wisconsin - July 25 By Hannah Lange Photo by Donna Reinhardt-Saenz

Matt Schmitz, Daniel Pohlhammer, and Larry Alber joined Mahlum all hoping for a win. Going into lap four, Matt Schmitz worked hard to get into second. In the end, there were no accidents and Mahlum took the win, trailed by Schmitz, Pohlhammer, and Alber. Despite the rain showers, once again, the racing was great at Azzie.

aturday night racing at Aztalan had very comfortable weather, a bit cloudy, with just scattered showers. We had a short rain delay, but the members and quads packed the track, and kept on racing. The 50 Shaft PW riders were enthusiastic to get racing as they had three #1 Aaron Jahnke working to get under bikes jump the line at the start, sending Brody Flanet in the them back to the penalty line. With the 50cc Shaft class. holeshot was the #11 of Hayden Zurn, but close behind was the #1 of Aaron Jahnke. The top four riders sped into lap traffic. Eager to claim his number one spot, Jahnke blazed past Zurn on the fifth lap while everyone else held their line. Zurn edged out Caden Demaa in a tight race for the second spot, with Jahnke taking the checkered flag. The Quad B class had a great turnout with numerous riders. They had four heats, and the semi, all before lining up for what everyone knew would be an exciting main event. Pulling the holeshot was #12, Cory Mahlum. Right away, a battle for the top four spots developed, as

Johns takes Saddleback to be a significant challenge. 85cc riders Taylor Day, Keagen Lee and Alex Witkowski all headed out with decent starts while Luke Chilman failed to launch on the flag, leaving the line last. Day and Lee came through on the first lap with almost a three minute lead on Alex Witkowski and Chilman. 65cc riders Michael Witkoski and Dawson Dunnuck were mixed in between Chilman and Alex Witkowski as they came through the score tent on the first lap. Sections of the course were rerouted as the race progressed allowing the more than twenty-two mini riders to complete their first lap after twenty minutes had passed. Alex Witkoski and Chilman continued to charge hard throughout the race trying to regain what they lost during the first lap. Meanwhile, Lee was struggling with a rear flat tire which affected his ability to keep on pace.

MX invades Illinois State Fair Springfield, Illinois - August 14/15 By James Pinckard

hocolate covered bacon. Fried pickles. All kinds of meat on a stick and even an egg on a stick... it has to be the State fair! Where else can you feast your eyes on many displays, see the best livestock the state has to offer, ride carnival rides, see a concert Leynard Skynard and Kelly Clarkson. Best of all for us... take in a motocross. The Timmy Hawthorne designed track welcomed racers and fans alike to the arena. This compound and stands are just awesome. There is enough room to have a full on Supercross and the stands to hold many. This year the track was tight, challenging and made for great racing all weekend. Part of the Illinois State Fair is the celebration of Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln is famous for many things; one is his part in the Civil War. The Civil War was also talked about in the terms like Brother against brother or Brothers at War. Both of these would be great to describe the Pro classes at this event. Two sets of brothers battled. The Hussey brothers Jason and Kyle, and brother Adam and Aaron Gulley. In 250 Pro, Adam Gulley fired the first shot with the holeshot with Kyle Hussey and Cameron Lansing in tow. As Adam Gulley pounded out front Jason Hussey had his Kawasaki marching through the pack toward the front. On lap six he moved past Lansing into second. When the white flag came out Hussey was all over Gulley and pulled the trigger with a half a lap to go, taking the lead and victory with Lansing third. In the 125 Pro class Jason Hussey blitzed to the front, attacked the track, and put it to the pack taking the win. This race Aaron Gulley was the rider on the move from the back of the pack to third at the finish behind his brother Adam. Yamaha rider Drayke Sizemore won the 80 open class besting Brett Bratsch and Devin Phipps. The amazing part is he was the crowd favorite of the event, jumping all the jumps, and charging the track just like the pros. Day two of the war, with the riders ready for battle in 250 Pro, Jason Hussey took the holeshot with his brother Kyle at his flank as he flew to the main event win with Kyle second. Adam Gulley finished third. In the 125 Pro class Kyle Hussey bombed the rest of the pack taking the main event win with Adam Gulley second and Kyle Hussey third. Adam Gulley finished fourth, giving the brothers all the top spots. The funny thing about the fair is that some riders only race this event all year long. Like a prize cow, these riders are ready to show. In the 250 B/C class KTM rider Robert

Murray’s night started off in a bad way as his bike wouldn’t start for the heat race. After some hard work the bike and Murray were ready to go. When the gate dropped for the main, Honda rider Todd Kincaid took off and took the win. Murray didn’t get the best start, but moved into and took second. Joe Robinson finished third.

Fun for all at Sunset Ridge Walnut, Illinois - August 8/9 By Chuck Doose Photos by Missi Thede

After the awards everyone was invited to partake in the annual corn boil, with Italian sausage, barbecue pork, beans and potato salad. Once the sun went down it was show time. Mark Eisen setup a projector using Clint Landis’ white trailer as the screen, and showed the feature presentation… you guessed it. “On any Sunday”. It was great to watch the movie outside, on a beautiful night with the Sunset MX track in the background.

idwest Vintage Motocross (midwestvmx.com) and the United States Vintage Motocross held a race at Sunset Ridge in Walnut, Illinois on August 8th and 9th. The Midwest VMX holds sanctioned vintage motocross events around the region to celebrate both our old motorcycles, and newer ones as well. We’re committed to providing a fun, family friendly atmosphere for racers. Jan and Bob Pistole, owners of Sunset Ridge, always put on a first class event and this two-day event was no exception. This is the favorite venue or the year for many reasons; the people, dirt, grooming, track layout, location plus an old school grass track on Saturday and a fantastic vintage friendly modern track on Sunday. Where else can you ride a vintage bike on a grass track one day, then the next ride a modern marvel on a safe contemporary track? Thanks to all Bob and Jan’s crew and a special thanks to Con and Chris Erskine for laying out the grass track. On Saturday the grass track started out a bit slick, but, by noon it was in perfect condition as the temperature rose into the mid 90s.

All the vintage and PV bikes ran an abbreviated course bypassing the back section of big tabletop jumps and one scooped double. All the adult modern and kids classes ran the entire big track. This gave those with both modern and vintage bikes the opportunity to enjoy the big track without getting beat up from the big jumps. It was a great weekend of racing with friends and new acquaintances. If you missed this race you can still make the MWVMX year-end race at Walnut October 10th on the grass track.

he I-94 Supercross Series came to the Monroe County Fairgrounds on August 1st for some nighttime supercross action. This is the first time I can ever remember a race being held in Tomah, and hopefully it won’t be the last. The grandstands were full, and the race action was hot. The facility was awesome with great parking, an awesome track, excellent spectating, good food, and lots of music and rides. Again, in this series, heat races and LCQ’s are run to determine the main event field. The points are only scored in the main event.

Rock River two day Trials Polo, Illinois - June 28 By Bob Wrobel Photos by Cody Wrobel

Dave Rohrschneider leapin lumber in the stadium section.

t was that time of the year again, time for trials riders from the four state area to traverse to Polo, Illinois for the Nitro/ Rock River Riders two day trials event. Once again this year, Rock River Riders had “trials section building guru”, Dan Maupin set up their various sections. Dan, with a huge help from his friends, Ralph Littlefield, Tony Meo, Cody and Alex Wrobel and I laid out sixteen sections. Then, Mother Nature decided to test us. The Friday and Monday before the event, she let out a cry and dumped 10 inches of rain washing away the club’s bridge that gave us access to eight sections on the island side, not to mention damaging two of the log sections that on Monday morning looked like they were never there, totally washed away. Also disposing twenty-five picnic tables from White Pines State Park throughout the club grounds and creek banks, what a mess, what a job!!! But we did it! Saturday morning, day one, eight sections were ready to go for the 41 riders. On this day, the riders had beautiful skies, sections were tough, but not up to the “guru’s” standards. Riders complained that they were too easy. The scores were low so after the event we changed things around for Sunday. Saturday night Mama Nature decided to say “hello” again, thanks Ma. Another inch of rain and 50 mph winds just what we needed. Sunday morning riders were blessed with sunny skies, 84 degrees and slight breeze. We had 55 riders. Now the sections were tougher, scores were much higher. Rumor has it some riders were seen sportin’ “Marty Feldman eyes” as they were exiting the sections. Others were quoted saying “these sections are so tough that they’d make a Billy Goat Pucker”. All in all it was a great two-day event. Thanks to all the riders and spectators who came out. Special thanks to all the club members who helped out, “thank you!” A special thank you to Dan “it’s do-able” Maupin, without him this event may not have happened. Through the years that Rock River has been hosting this event, it clearly shows thru the member support and commitment that it has evolved to be one of District 17’s elite trials competitions. For that being said, see ya all next year. Dan’s waitin’ for you!!!!!

The first race of the day was for the Quad A riders. Suzuki mounted here are a lot of great races happening Austin Shrock put his head down all summer long in District 15.

Behind him Smith and Colip held second and third by the end of the first lap where they finished ahead of Watson. In the Open A class Columbia City’s Camron Pressler grabbed a huge first moto holeshot, and immediately started to open a lead on the rest of the pack. Matt Schnieder was on the move early and slipped by Christian Telker for second halfway into the first lap. Schnieder slowly closed the gap on Pressler until they crossed the finish line for the start of the last lap. Renegade Suspension, Doc’s Designs backed Schnieder, “I got a pretty good start while Cameron was running out front. We went into the final lap and I got next to him and went by at the end of the first long straight. I have a good line there where I was cutting in at the end and it really helped. He’s a fast rider, but hasn’t been riding much this year so I just kept pushing to get him.” Pressler didn’t give up, and fought back for the rest of the lap but just couldn’t get a re-pass to stick. Also late in the moto, Aaron Yoder made his way around Cameron Snyder for Michael Warmoth won fourth behind Telker.

Pressler again had the holeshot in the second moto, but this time he went down hard in the new soft whoop section, dropping out of contention. Telker took over the lead with Schneider all over his rear wheel. Schneider made the pass on the third lap, but didn’t pull away as Telker shadowed him right to the finish while Yoder finished third. It wasn’t surprising to see the #606 of Brandon Schneider make some big moves to take over the 85Sr class lead early in the first lap. Trying to keep the hometown favorite in check was Mason Brown on his Suzuki. Brown held him close for the first portion of the race, but then Schneider pulled away for a comfortable win. Elijah Labordus and William Crossley were having a great race for third right up to the final lap, just before the finish line when Crossley jumped too close to the edge of one of the plateau landings and went down. He got up to finish fifth behind Ryan Hoover, but wasn’t able to run in the second moto. Brown led the group onto the track in the second moto, but went down a half lap later. Schneider took over, and then ran off to the win. Corey Kays was running second but pulled off with bike problems, opening the door for Labordus to finish second ahead of Hoover and Brown, who fought his way back up from the back of the pack. Donald Baker made winning almost look easy in the +30A class. As fast as the riders are in this class, Baker is simply the fastest out there as he won both motos to prove it. Sean Noland finished second in the first moto, but had a rough second moto after a soil sample stuck him back in ninth. Tom Sheets took the runner-up spot in the overall on his Yamaha with a 3-2 set of motos.

Quad A class winner Austin Shrock.

The +25A class was another Baker controlled class as he went 1-1 in front of Aaron Yoder and Noland. Plymouth, Indiana’s Derrick Dewitt finished fourth in both motos as Blakley Jones went 6-5 for fifth overall. Throttle Jockey’s Baker, “It went well today, all first place finishes. The track is good, and I think it is one of the better ones in Indiana. I had fun, and am ready to step into the +40 class next year, so I may be running six motos at some of them.” Jason Kerrsting and Michael Warmoth were all over each other early in the first +30B moto before Kerrsting went down in the back loamy section. Michael Bladecki took over second, and pushed Warmoth all the way. Kerrsting worked back into third. In the second moto Warmoth took the win ahead of Kerrsting and Bladecki while

Terry Coby finished fourth again on his Kawasaki. The racing was close in the +40 class as well. When it was all done, Fort Wayne’s Bryan Hoffman would not give up, and took both moto wins ahead of Sean Noland... despite a ton of effort by Noland to get by and steal the win. Redline Honda of Fort Wayne/ O’Neal/ Throttle Jockey’s Hoffman, “the +40 class went great, I got two holeshots that I really wanted. Put in some good laps and got the win, so it is a great way to start the State Series off. I want to give credit to Duane Griffis and the family for doing a great job on the track. There’s a couple different types of dirt from one side of the track to the other, and it was all just great again today.” When the littlest guys hit the track,

spectating is always enjoyable. While these 4-6 year-old Auto riders may not dazzle the crowd with speed, their effort and determination to get around the track as fast as possible is always impressive. KTM rider Andrew Eytcheson won both motos today. In the first moto, Aidan Griffis had a good start and used it to his advantage to finish second. In the second moto Anderson, IN’s Paden Hudson got the best of Griffis to finish runner-up, and second overall with his 32 scores. Eytcheson also won both motos of the Auto 3 class while Auto 2 for the 7-8 yearolds was swept by Cobra rider Jeffrey Harrell. In 14-24, Matt Schnieder went down in the second turn giving Brad Sordelet control of the lead spot. While Schneider was work-

Jeffery Parker ran up front with James Cooper for a while as Snyder Cameron worked his way up. By the end of the second lap, Scheider was already in the lead. Cooper slid back a few spots, and by the end Snyder finished second, just ahead of Parker. James Cooper had a great run in the second moto as he led the first half lap. Schneider got by, and then went on to win the moto. Cooper rode smart and held second the rest of the moto for third overall (6-2). Snyder had to work his way up to finish third, getting by Sordelet, Austin Crouch and Nathyn Allen. Snyderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charge was good for second overall (2-3). The 250B class had a big turnout, and the racing was close in both motos. Cady Pressler had the best timing at the start of

moto one taking the holeshot with Nick Kersey, Phillip Hernandez, and Jeffrey Parker leading the large pack. Hernandez passed Kersey right away and then went right after Pressler for the lead. There was plenty of position swapping over the next couple laps, and eventually Kersey found his rhythm and took over the lead with Hernandez really dogging him. Kersey held on for the win as Pressler

finished third ahead of Parker and Jacob Rakowski who had to work his way up into the top five throughout the moto. Kersey had a little smoother run to the win in the second moto as he led every lap. Austin Crouch had a much better moto finishing second after an eleventh in the first running. Pressler was consistent, finishing third for a well deserved second overall.

Kersey took the overall on his Max Pitts Yamaha, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the first moto I got a good start, then was passed. It took me a while to get into my groove before I passed them back. In the second moto having the holeshot and just riding my race worked, and it went well. This is my first time up here and I like the track a lot.â&#x20AC;? He also went 1-1 for the Open B overall. KTM riders filled the top three spots in the Supermini class in each moto. Dakota Robins took both moto wins in convincing fashion ahead of Tyler Phillips and Willie Patton, both having made the trip north from Indianapolis. Austin Griffis ran off with both 65cc 1011 motos. In the first moto, Kraye Loft made a last lap pass by Jagg Nunez for second. Nunez came back in the second moto to hold second for second overall as Loft settled for third. Chandler Pitts (1-1) won the 65cc 7-9 class on his KTM after a good battle with Braden Groves (2-2). Connor Brew was just a tick off the pace finishing a solid third both motos.

Tulenchik triumphant at Hurricane Mazeppa, Minnesota - July 26 By Mike Nelson & Sally Anderson

t was the kind of day that riders dream of for Jeremy Tulenchik. Sunny skies and a sweet track led to his sweep of the 450 A and Open A classes at Hurricane Hills MX Park. Tulenchik took the holeshot in his first moto of 450 A competition and never looked back as he took his first win of the day. Some early problems left him in the back of the pack on the first lap of the second moto, but his aggressive riding style had him out in front when they came around on the second lap. Dalton Hicks and Mike Barnhart gave chase, but Tulenchik wasn’t about to give up his lead, and held on for the win. Darren Lee got the holeshot in the first moto of Open A competition with Tulenchik right on his tail. When they came back around out of the valley, Tulenchik had made his pass and led the rest of the way for the win. In his final moto, Tulenchik was as smooth as silk leading all laps to seal the deal on his sweep. The youngsters in the 50cc Stock class put on quite a show with Alex Sleyster leading out of the gates in the first moto. He had Christopher Leaym, Logan Radunz, and Jenna Hagemann hot on his back bumper when they rounded the first corner. Hagemann was able to catch up and make a clean pass on Radunz in the first lap, and eventually caught up to Leaym and Sleyster just before the whoops section. Passing three wide through the whoops, Hagemann prevailed to take over the lead spot and win ahead of Sleyster and Radunz. Radunz came back in the afternoon to win the second moto, but it wasn’t enough to unseat Hagemann who secured the class win with a second place finish in moto two. Luke Tyler changed up the order in the 90cc modifieds as he was able to get a great start in moto two. He held the lead until he missed the timing through the whoops and hit hard breaking his tether switch leaving him with a DNF. Ryan Trout, Remington Guthman, and Jacob Hagemann put on a good battle of their own showing everyone what the 90cc mod class is all about. With all the passing and a few breakdowns it was a guessing game as to who would be the overall winner in the class for the day... and it went to Haedyn Mickelson. The tightest finish of the day came in the 450C second moto. Kent Messing dominated the majority of the race with moto one winner Parker Wewerka having trouble in the early going. Wewerka wasn’t about to give up though and worked his way through the entire field to catch Messing on the last lap.

Messing was able to hold off Wewerka’s attempts to pass on the back section of the track, but when they came around to the last double, Messing played it safe and smooth. Wewerka decided it was now or never and flew the double passing Messing in the air to steal the win. That’s what is meant by “racing until the checkered flag”. Thanks again to Jeff and Susan Gray, and their staff for all their hard work on the track and behind the scenes to make this another fantastic day of quad racing.

By the end of lap two Kobel had stretched out a two and a half minute lead over Neuwirth and Cameron Bunne had moved up into third overall. On lap three it appeared Neuwirth began regaining some ground. On lap four Neuwirth began turning out fast laps and in sequence put in the three fastest laps for the class, eventually pulling within thirty seconds of leader Kobel. On the final lap, Kobel put in his second fastest lap of the day, and took the win ahead of Neuwirth. Cameron Bunne held on to third overall, and first for the 65cc class with Bryce Ries taking the 85cc third place with a fourth overall. Up next was the Regional Grand National (RGN) class for their annual Hare scrambles. The RGN is a great group of riders that have decided to be a true motorcycle champion you must be capable in all aspects of riding completion. They hold eleven events, often craig Johnson on his KtM 950 Adventure ‘Woods” bike. in conjunction with district

events that cover everything from dirt to ice to pavement. In the end the finishes are totaled (with a points bonus offered if the same bike is used in all events) to crown that year’s champion (if you are interested see their website at rgnrace.com). This year twenty-three riders showed up on a variety of machines to conquer the course. When the shotgun fired Paul Philbrick was fast off the start, and quickly jumped into the lead. John Stewart didn’t have quite the same luck as he needed to kick his bike several times before it would fire. Stewart began his pursuit of Philbrick and eventually pulled up on his rear wheel but just couldn’t take the lead away. Philbrick took the win with Stewart close behind. Jon Wilson grabbed third. Afterwards Philbrick said, “It was pretty gnarly but pretty good out there. I kept looking back at Stewie and he kept coming. I stalled my bike and he caught right up. Then he began pressuring me and bumping and yelling at me. I made a couple mistakes, I think I was actually in his way for a while but

then he stalled I got a little gap. Then I hit traffic but it was luck I got through traffic quick and just rode it out. Coming out on the flat track at seventy MPH was fun. It was really a lot of fun.” Stewart, “My first time in the woods on a 4 stroke, and I don’t know if I’ll ever do it again. I must have stalled it ten or twelve times. I had a terrible start, probably fifth from last when it took six kicks to get the pig going, I got left in the dust.” One of the more unique “woods” bikes was a KTM 950 Adventure ridden by Craig Johnson. I got a chance to ask him about wresting it through the woods and he said, “It is interesting, you have 500 pounds of motorcycle running through a single track woods. You do your best, most people don’t think it will do it but it can. I plan to do the whole RGN series on this bike although I did pass on the hill climb. It’s great to ride the race bike to the race; you load in some luggage and take a nice Sunday ride- do some racing, then head back home. There were a couple tight spots that I ended up hitting the gas a little too hard, and when you have a hundred horsepower almost slamming into a tree is a quick stop. Other than that it was a great track and I had a great time.” When C class left the start it was Richard Tom out front with Darrin Hill and Corey

Pederson close behind. On the next time through scoring Eric Hollub had moved into the lead with Hill just seven seconds back with Pederson on his back tire. On lap three Jondel Skenandore kicked in an extra gear and began picking off another position each lap, moving up from his fifth place start. At the scoring station Skenandore clocked in just ten seconds behind Hill. As they pulled onto the flat track section Skenandore was looking for a chance to get past. On the East end Hill went outside to make the corner and Skenandore dove inside to take over second and then set about protecting his position. In the end Hollub took the win with Skenandore in second and Hill finishing third. Skenandore, “It was awesome, a little dusty in spots but not bad. I liked the motocross parts. I’m not a motocross racer, I just like jumping so it was fun getting a little bit of both. It’s nice when you get the motocross track in there it gives you a chance to relax out in the open. I had a lot of fun out there.” Skenandore also made sure to

thank his mom for supporting his racing. The +50 riders went out with the C class and by the time they made their way past the scoring station Gerald Blasczyk was out front with Erik Adelsen and Paul Bloyer right behind. Adelsen was holding second until he dropped out during lap two. From there on Blasczyk held the lead despite a hard charge by Bloyer. At the final scoring checkpoint Bloyer had pulled within two seconds of Blasczyk. When the AA class took the shotgun start it was Brian Messerschmidt edging out John Strangfeld and Pete Laubmeier around the corner onto the course. JD Friebel was out front with just a three second lead over Tyler Smulders as they passed the scoring station for the first time. Then on lap two Smulders got by Friebel and managed to get a seven second lead by the end of the lap. Friebel put his head down and by lap five was once again

Joe Vadeboncoeur took second in +40.

out front but Smulders was quick to get by again on lap six. Smulders held the lead for the next four laps until Friebel charged by on lap ten and then proceeded to start putting some breathing room between himself and Smulders. Smulders held on in second until he dropped out on lap fourteen. Matt Herrington took over second after fighting his way up from a fourth place start. Despite being pushed hard, Herrington held off Messerschmidt to the finish with a five second gap. Friebel later summed up his race, “I feel pretty good now. I got a decent start, and I got up to second right away and then I got around Tyler Smulders in a couple corners and kind of pulled away from him. Then about halfway through that lap I made a little mistake and had to turn my bike around so he got by me. We pretty much played cat and mouse for I’d say half the race until he must have finally tuckered out and just waved me by. I put my head down and really charged trying to gap the rest of the field. Everything went good today except on the second to last lap my chain-guard broke and derailed my chain. I had to do some maintenance on the track, but other than that everything went good. I’d like to thank Moose, KTM, Team2, Kenda, Devoll, and Brake King they are my main sponsors.” The A class, while only having two racers was not short on action as Dillon Kau got a good jump while Joseph Barr had to kick his bike over an extra couple times. Barr was quick to catch Kau and take over the lead eventually building a thirty second gap. On lap six Kau began chipping away at Barr’s lead and then on lap ten and eleven Kau pushed hard turning the two fastest laps. By the end of lap ten Kau was out front and despite pressure from Barr, held on for the win. Kau later said “It was rocky out there- really rocky and rough. Some nasty uphills. I was on a borrowed bike and being used to a 4-stroke, the 2 stroke was really way to fast to get used to in the woods.” Kau also thanked his sponsors- “Renthal, Scott goggles, MotorX, and Cycle Shed down in Indiana.”

Jim Blau got the jump in the +40 class and led everyone down the start with John Buechner and Robert Raduenz right behind. At the first scoring check it was Buechner out front with Blau in second Raduenz third and Tim Herman running fourth, just ten seconds back. Joe Vadeboncoeur meanwhile was fighting his way up from a sixth place start and by lap four had moved into second, within two seconds of Buechner. Buechner couldn’t shake Vadeboncoeur and on lap nine the lead changed over to Vadeboncoeur. On lap twelve Buechner regained the lead and held on to the finish. Chris Barriere grabbed the B class holeshot with Tyler Skodras close behind. Skodras quickly moved into the lead only to lose it back to Barriere on lap two. Joe Chwala was running third in front of Mark Sheppard. Sheppard worked his way into second by lap six and despite putting in some of the faster class lap times, just could not close in on Barriere’s lead. Barriere took the win with Sheppard second and Chwala third. At the end of the day the consensus was that Gleisner had set up a great course - mixing in the motocross, and flat track with some heavy wooded obstacles. I tried finding Gleisner but was told he was last seen running into the woods shouting “You guys have to come back next year. You won’t believe what I found to add in next year.” Hopefully everyone will come back to see what Gleisner will put together to challenge their skills.

Peters tops D17 State Hill Climb Westville, Illinois - July 26 By Bud Northrup Photos by Gordon Green

he 2009 Illinois State hill climb Championship race was held by the Pleasure Riders, with Matt Peters claiming top honors. Peters claimed wins in two classes, posting the top two fastest times of the day, and nearly missed perfection by settling for a second to go with his wins. Petersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first win came in the 450cc class where he came from behind in the second round. Danny Schumann had posted the first sub four second time of the day on his first ride, a blazing 3.997 second time to take the class lead and Fast Time into intermission. But Peters twisted the throttle on his KTM380 a little tighter in the second round and flew over the top of the 155 foot, 3 stage hill in a blistering 3.984 seconds to take the win and Fast time by only 13 thousandths of a second. In the 600cc class, Peters found himself in third place at intermission behind Dylan Brady and Schumann. Just as he did to win the 450cc class, Peters aired out his KX500 and flew high over the top in a breathtaking 3.924 seconds for the class win. Andy Fortner joined the three second club with a 3.994 second run to slip into third under Brady. Peters lost his bid for a perfect day in

the 250cc class. Matt Altfillisch set the first round top time with a 4.083 second time on his YZ250, just ahead of Peters. Peters crashed on his second ride and had to settle for second, with Caleb Emory claiming third. The Peters family celebration was made even better by young Levi, who claimed the 50cc youth class championship with a 5.452 second run on his KTM. Rylee Dowers was second on her KTM with Reece Hutton third. Matt Altfillisch enjoyed a double class championship, taking his second in the 600cc 4-stroke class. He set a very fast 4.164 second time on his Honda in first round action, and that time held up for the day. Dan Groth was close with a 4.221 second effort as John Michael Gocken claimed third in 4.282 seconds. In Youth class racing, young Dakota (DJ) Watson claimed the Youth Fast Time Award with a 4.893 second winning time in the 85Jr class. Cole Garriott placed second in 5.024 seconds with Jarred Brown third. In other Youth action, Garett Holycross took the 65cc class championship with Clint Garriott second and Peters third. Joe McGurer was the 85Sr champion with a 4.901 second time, followed by Austin Shelton and Kenner Shutt. McGurer took the 125cc class win as

well with a very quick 4.418 second run on his KX125, with Dakota Blakeney and Chad Altfillisch filling out the top three.

Martin leads region at Loretta’s

Hurricane Mills, tn - August 4 By Bart Newman

hen you talk about Loretta Lynn’s in the pits of a motocross race you won’t find the conversation gravitating torrid hit songs from the coal miner’s daughter, but to the greatest motocross vacation on the planet. The AMA Amateur National events have been held in Tennessee since 1982, and for most of those years the track was just like Big Dave Combs laid it out way back when. That went out the window in 2009 as Davey Combs felt it was time for a change, and had the testicular fortitude to make it happen. I can tell you as both a rider and reporter that the track was much better. 50Sr. is always a fun class to watch, and this year was no different. Local hot shoe Jett Janowski has been hard at it for months, working to do well at the dude ranch. The Middlebury, IN. Cobra rider rounded turn one in the top ten of moto one and held tough throughout the 15 minute plus two lap race to finish under the easyup reserved for the riders in the top ten. In moto two Janowski nailed the holeshot and pulled the pack of bumblebees around turn one hanging off the back of his machine trying to get every ounce of traction possible. Janowski led for the first three laps, holding off the top talent in the 50cc world. A slight miscue on lap three dropped Janowski out of the lead. A strong last lap kept him on the podium, and got the young lad some well deserved PA time. Moto three started out well as Janowski placed himself firmly in the top five, but a get-off on lap two derailed his run. Never a quitter, Janowski put down his head and stretched the throttle cable to fight his way back inside the top ten, finishing ninth. Janowski (9-3-9) charge in moto three paid off as the young lad would end the week as National number six. The Martins of Minnesota do not lack speed on a scooter, dad John was an off-road star back in the day, and Alex Martin has made a splash on the Pro level. So it should be no surprise that Jeremy Martin would be considered a favorite in both extremely competi-

tive SuperMini classes at the national. Zach Bell took the championships, but Martin was right there in five of the six motos. Bell won the SuperMini 1 class after a first moto getoff by Martin had him fighting through the pack from as far back as 24th, before ending the moto fourth. A second in moto two kept his hopes alive but a bad holeshot by Martin in the third moto (4-2-3) gave Bell (1-1-1) the advantage he would need to grab the Championship. In the SuperMini 2 class Martin and Bell traded moto wins Bell taking moto one,

and Martin running him down in moto two, tying the score at three going in to the all important moto three. Martin crossed the finish line on lap one in 27th place as Bell was on the gas with a clear track in front of him. Martin (2-1-3) never gave up the fight and came all the way back to third in a very fast field behind JMS racer Jace Owen (5-6-2) who would end the week two spots back of Martin in fourth, his second top ten of the week. Another area rider, Cody Kamm (6-7-20) survived a horrible last moto to finish tenth overall for the week, his second top ten as well. Vet classes are a big deal at the Amateur Nationals, and top riders from around the country, as well as many former pros make there way to Tennessee once a year to do battle with the best of the best. Two former pros took home the first two spots in the +35 class, but not far off the pace was District 15’s Donald Baker and District 17’s Chad Pederson. Baker was on his “A” game all week, and at the top of the pack battling with the likes of Mike Treadwell (1-1-1), Keith Johnson (2-3-2), Kevin Walker (3-2-DNF) and former Amateur National Champion John Grewe (4-43). Baker would closeout the week with a strong fourth place finish backing up and pair of fifth’s in the first two motos to finish as national number four, and the first non-factory supported rider in the field. Pederson (8-6-7) ended the week as national number five for his efforts. In the quietist class of the week, and one were Yamaha’s always dominate, Illinois rider Clayton Adams (16-7-8) overcame a rough first moto to complete the week inside the top 10 in the last two go arounds to claim eighth overall. Adams rode very strong in the second moto, turning a good start into a great finish, building the momentum needed to be a National level top ten rider. Congratulations to all the riders who put in so much effort to compete at this year’s national!

Jace owen was on the pipe all week and it paid off with top five finishes in both SuperMini classes.

Changes abound at Arkansaw Arkansaw, WI - July 24-26 By Ross Fredrick

ver go to a place that just feels like… home? That’s what it feels like when we drive into Arkansaw Cycle Park. Randy, Audrey, Tracy, and Eric Richardson along with a bunch of dedicated family and friends should be very proud of what they have accomplished over the last ten years. We’ve been racing there for years and always come away impressed. Whether it is a perfectly groomed track, the automated watering system, the monster pavilion for the riders to get out of the hot sun (or dance their fanny’s off at night) or the completely redesigned pits to accommodate more riders. It is always a progression for the Richardson’s, and their thinking outside the box has them constantly on the move and it keeps the riders happy. The new pit area will be a huge help for many years to come, and with plans to expand the south side pits in the future, it will only get better and better. The open practices (ran daily) and a well ran race day only make the experience better. The weekend kicked off on Friday with KTM demo rides presented by Xtreme Motorsports of Chippewa Falls, and the pit bike giveaway. 250A rider Jesse Koth was the winner this year and was pretty stoked to have his name called. Congrats Jesse! Saturday’s races brought out some impressive rides, especially by the girls. Both Kendra Randrup (65cc) and Rylee Schiller (50Jr) put on a show as they walked away with the overall wins after hard fought battles. Schiller shook off a first moto crash that had everyone pretty scared. Makayla Carpio won moto one, but Schiller was on the gas in moto two and was not to be de36

nied the win this time. Stephanie Hinze went 2-1 for the overall, splitting motos with Leea Nielson in the Women’s class. Great job girls! The races were done by 3:30 Saturday and the fun was just starting. We raised the pigs out of the ground that had been cooking Hawaiian style since Friday afternoon, and they were perfect! Everyone was treated to an awesome dinner of pork and sweet corn. Shortly after a single engine plane flew over the track very low and dropped a bunch of rubber balls for the kids and the scramble was on! Prizes were given away to everyone that returned a ball… how cool was that? With a few balls still hiding, the parents got their shot to earn a prize and you should have seen them run! Long time Arkansaw member Rob Mooney (aka) Dokter DJ was rocking the house with his music. With a little help they started giving away a ton of prizes, including over 350 Arkansaw Cycle Park tee-shirts. By 9:00pm the fireworks started with a bang. What an awesome performance again! Sunday morning brought us

out for the lead. Cochran’s bike quit on him, and Steuck was on the gas for the win, going 1-1 for the overall with Tyler Stoll taking second ahead of Wyatt Haenel. In the +25A class Chris Staige and Rex Stephenson battled it out pretty much all weekend with Stephenson taking the overall on Saturday, and Staige taking it Sunday. The 50Jr class had its own battle going on as Makayla Carpio edged Rylee Schiller for the overall with a 2-1 and Schiller going 1-2 for second ahead of Trevor Saight and Taylor Luxem. Sixteen 65cc riders lined up for some hot racing, and from watching these kids go at it the day before, there was no reason to think today’s race would be any different. KTM mounted Kendra Randrup was on the gas and took the moto one victory with Jesse Koth (L) won the Brady Bill working hard

for second ahead of Max Steinhorst and Andrew Sakrat. The second moto was all different. Andrew Sakrat worked his way up front and took the win, giving him the overall with a 4-1 ahead of Brady Bill (2-3) and Randrup (1-4), who was pushing for the lead but washed out in a corner on the last lap. It was a great race. We want to thank the Richardson’s for all their hospitality, and definitely hope to get back for the final race at Arkansaw in October. If you have never been to Arkansaw Cycle Park, I suggest you make it a priority… you won’t be disappointed!

Robins Dominates at Trojan north Webster, Indiana - August 22 By Becky Stichter

Dakota Robins had another big day with four wins.

t's Saturday evening and the second round of the ninth moto is running. As some spectators stand around the fire pit, this is their conversation. "Who is that rider #590? I've seen him out there all day. How many races has he done?" "No one is even close to him! How can he still be riding like that!?" "I could never do that." Meet Dakota Robins, he is the rider on #590. He had an impressive day today. In the morning he took first in the youth class grand prix. In the evening he grabbed wins in all his motos, taking first overall in the 125 2-stroke, Youth and Supermini classes. He blasted out of the gates on every start. If he didn't take the holeshot, it wasn't long until he moved to the lead and dominated until the checkered flag. Another skilled rider that draws attention is William Crossley Jr. He keeps the throttle open and gets plenty of air off the tank jump and tabletops. In the morning race he won the 85 (12-15) grand prix. This evening he went 1-1 in his class, taking the first overall. The 85 (9-11) class which often runs with the older group of riders was exciting to watch. Jacob White won, going 1-1. Hot on his tail was Jordan Parmley and Chandler Pitts. Parmley finished second with Pitts third. Parmley and Pitts are new to this class this season, but they have certainly come in like lions, making their presence known! Lake City Racing sponsored the Quad Dash For Cash this evening. They donated the $100 prize for this four lap, winner take all race. Landon Smith took the win, and the money. There were twelve riders in Quad B class, and the intermittent rain showers didn't bother them at all. Don Underwood went 12, winning the overall ahead of Andy Balaz who finished 3-1, for second overall. Ten riders lined up at the gate for the Mini quads. In the first moto Logan Stanfield came out hard and snatched the lead. He held on to it the entire race. Haley Davis tried to pass, but just couldn't do it this time. In the second moto Davis stepped it up and came out with the holeshot. This time she had the lead and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to give it up. Davis finished first overall with Stanfield second. For the 50cc (7-8) riders, Seth Anderson took the first moto without difficulty. In the second moto it looked like Seth Orr wanted to put some pressure on Anderson, who had the lead, with Orr not far behind. Orr lost control and dropped his bike in a turn. He got up quickly and was closing the gap, when he fell again. After that Anderson was comfortably 38

in the lead and won the race. Andrew Eytcheson had a successful evening in the 50cc (4-8) injected and 50 (46) classes. In both, he ran 1-1, so he got to take home two first place trophies. These riders in the 50 classes are just fun to watch. Sometimes they have problems on the track, but they are some of the most determined riders out there. It was a good day of racing here at Trojan.

Ray tops competitive Quad class Winterset, Iowa - August 1/ 2 By Mark Bonnel Photos by Missi Thede

Randy Holliday leads eventual winner Jason Ray in the Quad c class.

he month of August got underway with a great weekend of racing at Riverside Raceway. With July being the coldest July in over 100 years, most were hoping for a turn around in the weather and that’s just what the received. The skies were clear and the temperatures were mild, perfect for racing motocross. With the races that were cancelled earlier in the year, this was a perfect weekend to have both ATV and motorcycle races to get back on track. The track crew spent extra time working the track for the weekend of racing. The ATV riders were first to take to the track and did their best to put in some lines in the sections that were changed. When Quad C left the starting line on Saturday it was Randy Holliday in the lead. Justin Mc Donald was right behind, and had to deal with Zack Keubler, who swept around the outside of the very fast Riverside first turn. Matt Page and Jason Ray were able to work their way towards the front of the pack by diving to the inside line in the bowl turn before the step-up jump. At the end of lap one, Mc Donald was first over the table top before the scoring area. Page was next with Ray, Holliday and Keubler rounded out the top five. Roger Fitzgerald wasn’t far off the pace, doing his best to work his way into the top five. In the back section of the track, Page ended up stalling his machine, dropping back to fifth place, but he was able to quickly move back into fourth place behind Holliday. At the end of the moto, it was Mc Donald with the win ahead of Ray. Just a few seconds behind was Adel, Iowa’s Holliday. Page and Keubler rounded out the top five. Moto two got underway with a roar as the gate dropped and the riders did their best to get into the lead. Page rocketed out of the gate and looked to have the start under con-

trol as he pulled away from Mc Donald, Holliday and the rest of the field. Two corners into the lap Page slid out and let Mc Donald get around for the lead. At the end of the opening lap, Mc Donald was the first to come around just ahead of Ray. Page, Holliday and Fitzgerald rounded out the top five. Ray and Page had a great race going as lap two unfolded, and were pushing each other so much that they were moving closer to the leader. Ray was able to work his way around Mc Donald as he made his way through the tricky rollers. Keubler displaced Fitzgerald for fifth next. The checkered flag was out as Ray flew over the final tabletop for the moto win and overall. Mc Donald’s one-two finishes were good enough for second for the day. Holliday, Page and Keubler came across the line in third, forth and fifth place respectively. The weekend

turned out to have great weather, which allowed for exciting racing for everyone. Even with the all the classes, the crew had the races completed, scored and posted in record time. A new race date has been added for September 13th, so make sure to add it to your schedule.

Schultz, Haas best at Polo Climb Polo, Illinois - July 19 By Bud Northrup

75 entries filled the Rock River Riders hill climb near Polo, Illinois, with veteran riders Wade Schultz and Lloyd Haas providing the top rides of the day. Haas set the first round fast time at 3.156 seconds on his 750cc Kawasaki triple in the 750cc class, then lowered it in the second round with a sizzling 2.969 second run - the only one at that time under three seconds. Andy Fortner was his closest challenger in that class with a 3.255 second run on his triple, with Lane Schultz third on a vintage BSA. Haas also took the first round lead in the Open class on his 800cc triple, but Schultz flew his big four cylinder Suzuki over the top in an incredible 2.769 seconds to take the class win in a convincing fashion. Schultz and Haas squared off one more time in the one run, winner take all ‘King of the Hill’ class for the top ten riders of the day. Schultz delivered another very fast run of 2.837 seconds, but Haas was a blink faster, with a 2.832 second time to take the ‘King’ plaque and cash award. Fortner was third in 3.001 seconds. Schultz and Haas remained the only riders all day to break the three second barrier.

Levi Peters, Jeff Jack, Eric Wheelwright and Kyle Galloway all enjoyed a double class win day. Young Levi got his wins in the 50cc and 65cc classes, and his 90 foot climb on his KX65 was the best of all the youth classes. Chase Banning and Morgan Wheelwright were his closest challengers in those classes. Jeff Jack took his first win in the 200cc class, topping the hill in 3.370 seconds on his KTM200. Chris Senn, also KTM mounted, claimed second with a 3.956 second time with Kyle Galloway third. Jack claimed his second win in the +50 class, stopping the clock in 3.470 seconds on his KX500 for the win, with Mike Bacon second and John Steffen third. Wheelwright’s first win came in the 250cc class, with a fine 3.244 second run on his Yamaha, well ahead of runnerup Kurt Krohmer, who carded

Tyrell brothers battle at Motokazie SX Gays Mills, Wisconsin - August 14 By Jamie Theis Photos by Matt Wellumson

he Crawford County Fair in Gays Mills, Wisconsin hosted the 20th round of the Motokazie Supercross Series on Friday, Aug. 14th. The Fairgrounds has a large grandstand area, providing Motocross Trackbuilders.com plenty of room to work with. The 144 entries enjoyed the track, and the very muggy weather. The Pro race proved to be the most exciting of the evening. Six riders made up the Pro class: Brian Adams (WI), Jason Erdmann (WI), Billy Holzhauer (WI), Dan Riley (MN), Andrew Tyrell (IL) and Ty Tyrell (IL). In the heat race, Ty Tyrell took the holeshot and created a nice distance between himself and the rest of the pack for the win. There wasn’t a lot of action in the heat, apparently they were all saving their energy for the main event. The heat finish was Ty Tyrell, Andrew Tyrell, Erd-

mann, Holzhauer, Riley, and Adams. The Main event was an entirely different story. Ty Tyrell has been following the Motokazie Supercross Series for two years now so many people know his speed and charisma on a bike. The Motokazie crew, however, did not know that Ty had an older, and very fast brother. With the drop of the gate for the Main all the riders were at the first turn almost exactly at the same time. The first turn was a tight, ninety degree left, then an S turn to the right into the Grandstand Straight-Away. It was the older brother, Andrew Tyrell that took the lead by a tire’s length. Over the 70’ triple right in front of the crowd was Andrew Tyrell, Holzhauer, Adams, Erdmann, Ty Tyrell, and Riley. Yes, the younger Tyrell had gotten a terrible start and was second to last, but it was very obvious this wasn’t going to last long. Ty had twelve laps to catch his brother and he ended up needing six to get there. The first and second lap, Ty struggled to get past Erdmann and Adams, dodging back and forth in

the straight-aways and fighting for the faster lines in the corners. There was definitely a few of the “hi, how are ya” bar bumps in the many tight corners. In the fourth lap, Erdmann went down. Ty continued to fight in the fifth and six laps, squeezing his way up to the second place. By the sixth lap however, Andrew Tyrell had pulled away from the pack and it was pretty evident he was going to take the win. Ty continued to charge for the remaining six laps, but could not catch Andrew. By lap ten Erdmann was out; and at the checkered the finishes were Andrew Tyrell, Ty Tyrell, Riley, Holzhauer and Adams. Motokazie would like to thank their sponsors Hitching Post Motorsports, Cities Edge Motorsports, Delano Sports Center, Waconia Powersports, Ziegler Cat, and Motocross Track Builders. Only 3 races left in the Motokazie Supercross Series, all at Jordan, MN, Sept. 11 and 25th.

Espinoza catches two at South Fork taylorville, Illinois - August 2 By James Pinckard

reat weather and an awesome track welcomed the riders to South Fork Dirt Riders. Leroy and crew have been working hard all year to give the riders the best track they can, trucking loads of wood chips and working the track with vigor. The result is a track that is starting to rival many famous tracks with huge berms and a nice rough surface. Two of the nicest kids you will ever meet are KTM rider Tanner Smith and Yamaha rider Weston Seifert. They are in the same classes, 250C and the 125 class, both ride 125 two-strokes. Both always have a smile on their face, and never complain about the track, bikes, or anything. In the 250C class Smith put in a good ride for fourth in the first moto while Seifert finished seventeenth. Yamaha rider Reid Janson took the moto win with Hank Greenwalt second and Matt Pennell third. In the second moto Smith was on the gas! Smoking his way to the front and taking the moto win! Greenwalt finished second and took the overall win. Janson finished third for the moto, second overall and third overall went to Smith. What about Weston? He finished seventeenth, and did it with a huge smile on his face. In the 125 class the boys were back at it again and doing their best in a great class with very close racing including a three way tie for third after the first two motos! In the first moto Yamaha rider Ryan Padgett took the win with Smith second. Suzuki rider Clayton Hackman finished third with Anthony Ward tanner Smith won moto two of 250c.

Weston Seifert always has fun.

ahead of Hackman, resulting in a three way total score of eight where Lash came out on top for third overall. One rider who put in his best ride of the year was Kawasaki rider David Espinoza. After taking both moto wins in +30A, he set his sights on +25A. Winning the +25 class isn’t an easy task, and there was fire power on the line. Long time Honda rider Denny Dooley made the switch to Kawasaki, asked how he liked it he said, “I do like it. In fact I’m sur-

prised how much after being on a Honda for so long.” I watched the class off the start and the fight was on between Espinoza and Dooley. When the smoke cleared Espinoza took the overall with both moto wins and said, “This was a great day for me, it’s been a while since I have been able to best Dooley, and it feels good, he’s a great rider.” Dooley finished second with Zeno Molteni third making it a green sweep.

Indiana State Championship

cayuga, Indiana - July 25 By Bud Northrup Photo by Gordon Green

2009 Indiana State Hill climb champions.

he 2009 Indiana State Hill Climb Championships were run by the Pleasure Riders M/C, with ‘Fast Andy’ Fortner emerging as the top rider, missing a clean sweep by about only four-hundredths of a second. Fortner’s first win came in the 600cc class where his blistering 4.100 second time on his first ride not only stood up for the class win, but also the overall Fast Time of the night. Matt Peters was his closest challenger in the class with a 4.275 second time on his KX500 with Scott Petty third. Mike Pulver was his closest challenger for overall fast time with a 4.153 second class winning time in the Senior class, riding Fortner’s CR500. In 750cc class action, Fortner topped the 155 foot, 3-stage hill in 4.532 seconds on his first ride on his 750 Kawasaki, which was good for the win. Paul Hillard, also mounted on a triple, claimed second with Mike Sarver third. Fortner made a strong run at a perfect night, taking the first round lead in the 400cc Stock class. In second round action, Mark Schroeder sailed his KTM300 over the top in 4.424 seconds, taking the class win and a perfect night away from Fortner. Joe McGurer was also a double class champion, claiming the Youth Fast Time award as well. Riding his KX85, McGurer turned the fastest two times in the 85Sr class, his 5.263 second effort also claiming the Youth Fast Time award. Austin Shelton and Kenner Shutt claimed second and third. McGurer won in the 125cc class with a 4.645 second time on his KX125 in the second round, overtaking Dakota Blakeney, whose 5.165 second first round ride took the class lead into intermission. Matt Altfillisch also slipped under Blakeney in the second round with a 4.713 second time for second place. Levi Peters claimed the 50cc youth class win with a 6.712 second time on his KTM, Rylee Dowers was second on her KTM in 7.323 seconds and Cline Garriott was third. Levi’s father, Matt Peters, took the 450cc class win on his KTM 380 with a 4.340 sec-

ond first round ride. Danny Schumann was very close, only 12 thousandths behind Peters. Chad Altfillisch filled in the top three. Clint Garriott was the 65cc class champion. Jarred Brown was the 85Jr champion with Dakota Watson second and Cole Garriott third. In Quad class action, Evan Zimmerman was the Two Stroke champion with Paul Hillard and Ryan Garriott following. Marty Thayer was the Four Stroke champion with Jeff Ramey and Jim Mahan second and third.

Fourteen 85cc riders dropped the clutches and started screaming to the first turn. Of those who started, ten out of fourteen remained on the lead lap, eventually finishing all four laps.

Worthington, Indiana - July 26 By David Dunnuck Photos by Cheryl Dunnuck

he second round of both the Hoosier Hare Scramble Championship Series and the Southern Indiana Series of 2009 were held at Dillmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm near Worthington, Indiana. This event was also the second annual Indiana fast guy race, which drew a very impressive front row of Heavy and Light A riders seeking to claim the prize. The PeeWee riders lined up following their traditional parade lap with intentions of being the first one to the checkered flag. Joshua Pyne surprised the pack at the first round of the SIS with a run-away victory at Midway. Unfortunately for Pyne, he found himself tangled up on the start and headed into the track in last place. Pyne faced a huge task of picking through the riders one by one while Langdon Feltner had a clear trail ahead. By the end of the PeeWee race, Pyne had worked through the others and taken over the second place spot, but could not close the gap Feltner had created. Meanwhile, Jacob Stark took an early 46

end of lap three to receive the white flag. Heading into the last lap, the action centered around Alex Witkowski, moving up from third to second. Keagen Lee claimed fourth place Austin Lee was the first rider to receive the checkered flag at the end of lap four. Chilman rode hard, moving up from fifth place to third with Witkowski dropping from third to fifth. Day recaptured second place with Chilman owning third. Keagen Lee was having an incredible ride, running a strong fourth. Sixteen 65cc riders charged into the woods

following the start of the super mini and 85 riders. This group remained relatively close until they reached the steep climb coming out of the first of several mud holes. While many of the 65 riders struggled at this section and required assistance from parents, the top riders blasted through with little difficulty. Michael Witkowski continued his control while extending his lead over Eric Douglass and ultimately taking another win. The big bike event started with 90 riders heading into the short woods section immediately followed by the telephone pole obstacle course. Jeff Cregg wasted no time setting the pace on the first lap - turning a 21:06 time. Hot on the heels of the leader were John Maschino and Christopher Bach, both looking good, and looking to make up time on the second lap. Following were Jake Fiddler and Jordan Johns. Fiddler took over the lead at the end of the second lap after Cregg suffered a rear flat tire, which took him out of contention. The second place position belonged to Maschino, doing some killer riding, but still behind by 0:37. Bach was having an incredible ride, running a strong third. Nathan Sullivan came through in fourth followed close by John Robbins.

While approaching the scoring tent to complete lap three, Robert Kirchner (Sr. A) became another victim of the deep mud hole leading to the no passing zone. It took significant time and a borrowed come-along to winch his machine from the mud. Fiddler was still in the lead going into the final white flag lap with Maschino close behind. Unfortunately for Fiddler, engine related troubles ended his pursuit of a victory. Maschino was the first to arrive at the checkpoint on lap six, landing him the hard fought victory. Bach was doing his best to reel in that number one spot, but just fell short. Johns, Nathan Sullivan, and Robbins rounded out our top five. In the end it was an awesome race with three leaders, but it was the “farmer” John Maschino that claimed victory.

Verado leads the way at Fox Valley

121 big bikes lined up and anxious for the hat drop. Wedron, Illinois - August 2 By Nikki Dixon

he Fox Valley Off-Road hare scramble series tallied 240 entrants for round three of five, with all riders receiving a free t-shirt at signup. A slow and steady rain the day before the event made for a few slick spots early, but worked in perfectly for great traction. FVOR runs split courses for the morning races, to accommodate the different classes, and allow multiple classes to race on different courses at the same time. The courses incorporate a variety of trails, twisty hills, and sections of motocross track. And the quads and bigger bikes also make a trip through a rocky creek bed and over the spectator logs. A little something for everyone! The quad classes kicked off the day with twenty-two riders making their way through the moist trails. Quad +35 winner Bradley Holder trailed Kevin Johnson on the first lap, but eventually moved out front, and pulled away. Holder turned multiple laps around the ten minute mark, making him the fastest rider from all classes. Johnson and Timothy Storey completed the top three in Quad +35. Cody Toal reeled in Andre Topper midrace in Quad B action, and held the lead to the checkered flag. Paul Schultz, Thomas Bassett, and Todd McGuire wrapped up the top five, after multiple position changes. Brandon Haly led Quad C through the first two laps, with Quintin Smith in the hunt. Both riders lost time during the third lap, while Cody Smith and Riley Brueggren moved out front. Cody Smith and Brueggren mixed it up for the next four laps, with of Brueggren right on Smith’s rear fender as they started the final lap. Smith had problems on the last lap, while Brueggren rallied to capture the win. Cody Smith, Quintin Smith, Haly, and Jacob Bill rounded out the top five, all finishing on the lead lap. The eighteen-rider 65 Beginner class was the next race of the morning, and their

course had a few slippery sections. The top three riders traded positions back and fourth for the first half of the race. Aspen Park led three of the first four laps, but Colten Zuidema led the final seven laps to take the win. Bryce Otterbach and Park mixed it up for second in the final laps, with Otterbach getting the edge. Shawn Thompson and Tanner Whipple diced the whole race, with Thompson hanging onto fourth, despite a last lap slide-out. Whipple finished fifth, and was the final rider to finish all elleven laps. Thompson and Whipple mixed it up again in 50 Senior. Thompson led the 11-

trey Verado held off Ryan Moss to win AA, leading the last seven laps.

rider class at the first three checkpoints, with Whipple in the hunt. Then Thompson had a couple of rough laps, as Whipple moved out front and pushed ahead for the win. Eli Otterbach turned in several fast laps to finish second, while Luke Wamhoff edged out Thompson for third. Garrett Ward completed the top five. Travis Ward had the holeshot in the 17rider 85cc class, but Nolan Schuler pulled along side as they entered the woods. Schuhler led after a lap, followed closely by Joey Fortune, Ward, and Mitchell Ternes. Fortune was the new leader as they completed the second lap, with Ward right on his rear fender. On the third lap, Ward was the first rider to break the six minute mark, as he moved into the lead and held it for three laps. Fortune moved out front again on lap six and stayed ahead to the checkers. Ward turned a 5:34 on the final lap, which was the fastest lap of the race, but still had to settle for second. The Thumper class had an excellent turnout with 20 racers. Ryan Moss and John Conley mixed it up for the lead. The two were running a blistering pace, until the fourth lap, when Conley blew a turn and slid into the creek! Conley tried to ride it out, until he came across a deep spot and sank his bike, sending him pushing the waterlogged bike back to the pits. Moss kept it pinned as he led at the checkpoint for all seven laps, and gapped second place Nick Blacklaw by over two minutes. Matt Dissoll charged from eleventh after the first lap to finish third by the checkers, matching Moss’s lap times the final three laps. Nick Broll and William Tracy rounded out the top five. Chelsea Marfell led all six laps in the Women’s class to take the win. Hannah Keith reeled in Veronica Martin for second late in the race. On the final lap, Keith turned the fastest lap of the Women’s class to finish second, and less than a minute behind Marfell. Martin was running in third with a lap to go, but didn’t register through the final

checkpoint, which dropped her to a fifth place finish. Taylor Clark put in consistent laps to take third, and Nikki Dixon came from seventh on the first lap to finish fourth. Over 120 big bikes lined up at the west staging area for the final race of the day, ready to put in 90 minutes on the full Fox Valley course. AA class winner Trey Verado was the first rider to see the checkered flag, as he led the last seven of nine laps. 16 riders finished on the lead lap, which included the winners of six different classes (AA, 86Open A, 201-Open B, 86-200 B, +40A, and +30A). AA riders Verado, Ryan Moss, Lee Lankutis, and Matt Dissoll were the only riders to break the 10 minute lap mark. Lankutis started with the AA holeshot, with Moss sweeping in from the outside as they entered the woods. Moss led through the first lap checkpoint, chased by Lankutis and Verado. By lap three, Verado had moved into the lead, but Moss stayed right with him for a couple more laps as the two blazed through the trails. Lankutis held off a late charge by Dissoll to finish third, with Dissoll fourth, just one second behind Lankutis at the checkers. Matthew Westlake completed the top five, and was the final AA rider to finish all nine laps. Moss logged the fastest lap of the

day with a 9:41 as he battled with Verado on lap four, who clocked a 9:42 on the same lap. Devin Bertrand led the 10-rider 86Open A class into the woods, but Jesse Keith was out front as they completed the first lap, chased by Kyleer Vance, Joel Mertes, and Jeffery Kaylor. Vance was the new leader on lap two, followed by Derek Toberman who turned a 10:07 to go from seventh to second, which ended up being the fastest lap of the race. Then Vance picked it up a notch, and led the next several laps, putting almost a minute on Toberman. On lap six, a damaged bike ended Vanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day, as he rode back to the pits. Toberman took over the lead, but could-

nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold off Rick Kinkelaar, who rallied from an eight place on the first lap, to take the lead on lap seven and sprint away for the win. While running in second, Toberman had a rough lap, in what would become his eighth and final lap. Kaylor, Keith, and John Siekmann all completed nine laps to round out the top four, followed by Toberman in fifth. Kenneth Otterbach picked up the +40A holeshot, with Don Raschke cutting in from the outside through the first turn. Raschke led the class through the first lap checkpoint, trailed closely by

James Wancket, Otterbach, Jim Perry, and Thomas Burtle. On lap three, Otterbach moved into second, but Raschke slowly inched away from Otterbach while completing nine solid laps. Otterbach finished just under a minute behind Raschke. Mike McConaughy grabbed the holeshot in the 10-rider +50 class and led the first lap, followed by Gary Peterson, Rick Mahrt, Don Carqueville, and Wally Mika. The gap from first to fifth was only 10 seconds after two laps, with Peterson eventually taking the lead on lap four, chased by Mika. On lap five, Mika broke the 11 minute mark, which put him out front. Mika continued to turn laps in the 10 minute range for the remainder of the race to go three for three at Fox Valley this season. Peterson, McConaughy, Carqueville, and Mahrt wrapped up the top five, and all finished on the lead lap. Brian Roland led the +30B class into the woods, and put in a solid first lap, to have a 30 second lead at the first checkpoint, with Josa Villarreal, Jerry Oksas, Todd Brough, and Brian Goodin in tow. Oksas reeled in Roland on lap four, and pulled away for the win. Roland and Mark Ficek finished second and third. CYCLE USA, September 2009

Grant Bodmer led the 12rider 86-200 C class after the first lap, trailed by JJ Cones, Jake Seibert, Reid Ward, and Dylan Broll. Cones was the new leader on lap two, but Bodmer answered right back, to move out front again on lap three. Cones fought back into the lead on lap four, and stayed out front to the finish, to remain undefeated at Fox Valley through round three of five. Siebert reeled in Bodmer around the hour mark, and held the second spot to the checkers. 201-Open C was the biggest class of the day with 28 riders. Mark Rybicka and Bryan Clucas had the quickest reaction time in the dead engine start, leading the way to the first turn. Rybicka led through the checkpoint for the first seven laps, with Steven Daniels in striking distance the whole race. On the final lap, Daniels turned in his fastest lap of the day with a 10:53, which earned him the win, with Rybicka two seconds behind at the checkered flag. Clucas finished a solid third, followed by Micah Statler who had the fastest lap time of the class with a 10:48 on lap three. Nicholas Desautels came from an 11th place on the first lap to finish fifth, and Justin Cox fin-

ished right behind him for sixth, and was the final rider on the lead lap.

Wentland super at Spring Creek Millville, Minnesota - July 17 By Rolfe Otterness

esse Wentland motored off from the troops to take four solid wins at the latest Donny Schmit Amateur Day at Spring Creek Park. Held just before the AMA National Pro event every year, this race is a chance for amateur riders to grab their shot of glory at the same track that Minnesota’s own superstar Donny Schmit used to hone his skills before he left for Europe to become a World Champion. Wentland and a host of other riders took the opportunity, although entries were down a bit this year at 760 or so. Wentland’s success came in the 14-24 and 250B classes, two of the largest in the line-up. Only a few others took home the gold in two classes as former District 23 open champ Lyle Sweeter dropped by from Caleeforneeya (that’s Arnold-speak) to win the +55 and 60 classes, and Joseph Dalzell took the Supermini and Schoolboy overalls. The Spring Creek track was its usual demanding self, but looked rather spiffy with the track prep for the national. Cool weather made for decent racing conditions, but it was a little chilly for usual July spectating. Colton Karl pulled a pretty sweet holeshot as the 14-24B class swept through the right hand first turn, but by the end of the lap he was dropped back to fourth place as Alex Millican, Wentland and Beau Bentley motored by. Wentland, with perhaps a bit of home-track advantage over those two Texans took over the lead on lap two. He then started to edge away and eventually took the win. Millican held on for second with a small margin over Bentley. Rounding out the top five were Karl and Clayton Olson. Karl had his starting process nailed as he once again led the pack into moto two. Wentland had another decent start and took the lead early in the race, and controlled it until the checkered flew. Bentley, Millican and Calvin Knoll trailed him in, not too far off his pace. Luke Peters topped his first moto thirteenth as he rounded out the top five for moto two. The heavy favorite in the Supermini class was Spring Creek’s resident mini master Jeremy Martin of the Rockstar Suzuki amateur squad. His speed this year has been remarkable, and he shot off to the early lead, but his bike was smoking badly and, as would be found out later, was burning coolant. He bogged to a stop a couple of laps later, luckily avoiding seizure on one the jumps. This left the door to the lead ajar and Joseph Dalzell took command of the moto. He went on to take the win with a bit of a lead. Titan Immel, Brandon Riehm and Sawyer Brownlee finished out in a close pack about five sec-

onds adrift of him, having a good margin over Chase Stevenson in fifth. Moto two saw Martin win with a vengeance on his newly overhauled bike, dominating the moto. Dalzell did all he had to do and took second for the overall win with a nice ride. Immel was safely third with a bit of a distance over the battle between Riehm and Brownlee. The Senior A class featured a battle between Jay Mercill and Don Bonnicksen in moto one. Mercill held strong for the win despite Bonnicksen’s pressure. There was a good battle over third between David Spizman and Rob Irving as well with Spizman prevailing. Mercill pulled the holeshot in moto two but Bonnicksen displaced him on lap one and Mercill had to settle for second. Scott Steinle had a solid ride for third with Irving and Spizman in tow.

The first moto of Open A featured a great battle between Dalton Carlson on a KX450 and Brandon Haas on a YZ250 two stroke. Haas managed to take the lead on lap three with a quick blast through the whoops and from then on he controlled the moto. Carlson finished up just a couple of seconds back, and they had a big lead over the battling pair of Jamie Ledin and Hunter Clements. In the second moto Carlson got out front again and was holding on to the lead over Haas as the race proceeded through lap four. Then Haas developed a flat tire on his bike and dropped off the pace. Steven Squire inherited second and Jamie Ledin went with him past Haas just before the flag came out. Haas had a better time of it in the 250A class as he pulled the holeshot in both motos and went on to win each time. Carlson was not quite as adept on his starts and had to CYCLE USA, September 2009

FCA Motocross Camp a hit taylorville, Illinois - July 6-10 By James Pinckard

James Povolny sharing at one of the indoor conversations.

he Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) is the largest Christian sports organization in America. Since 1954 the FCA has been in junior high, high schools and colleges, 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 is “Inside-Out, Change Your Game”; a great message both on and off the track. One special aspect of the 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 to nmae a few. This is an impressive 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 in Taylorville, IL had star power in droves! Campers were thrilled to see Pastor Steve Hudson and the Red Bull factory Honda rider Andrew Short, Ryan and Justin Sipes and James Povolny were on hand to show campers Andrew Short instructing track side. how to get to the top of the class through faith, fellowship and focus. Unlike some motocross schools where one star instructs multiple riders in a group, FCA camps feature multiple instructors like Suzuki rider Kyle Corman, Kawasaki rider Christopher Akaydin,Thomas Bradley, Paden Feagans and others. 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. Campers were broken out in to groups based on ability and bike size. The approach gave each camper plenty of

one-on-one 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. I spent my time with the 12-13 year-olds who adopted me both on and off the track, leaving me worn out by the end of the week. Each day was packed full of events, which started at 6:30am and ended with lights out at 10pm. Campers rode until 3pm before taking time out for bike maintenance and a trip to the swimming hole. Evenings were 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 Justin “Pooh” Sipes sing a spoof of the Johnny Cash song “A man named Sue” and turned it into “A man named Pooh”. 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 and signed what seemed like a thousand autographs. Many afternoons were spent swimming along with a belly flop contest at the swimming hole. 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 over 30 people came forward to be baptized at the swimming hole, which was bright with moonlight, headlights, and a faithfilled circle of friends and fellow motocross families. This was definitely an inspiring motocross experience and it’s one to be remembered for a long time to come. CYCLE USA, September 2009 57

Fast night at Azzie Lake Mills, Wisconsin - August 15 By Tammy Flemming Photos by Donna Reinhardt-Saenz

igh humidity and warm temperatures didn’t keep the racers from coming out in force for the Azzie short track Saturday night. As the season starts to move into the closing stages, every race has that much meaning. Youth Quad brought two full heats. In heat one, Donovan Kendall took the holeshot but Spencer Beek worked the outside line and took control by turn two. Mitchell Bignell latched onto Beek. Beek and Bignell increased their lead on Kendall and Tyler Allen each lap to the finish. Heat two left Carver Hass on the line while Payton Hall screamed his machine into the lead. Hall seemed to never let off the gas. Tyler Schrimpf did what he could to pace Hall. Hass was trying to make up for lost time but went sideways into turn two and ended with a glorious high side. Fortunately he seemed uninjured as he removed his quad from the track. Hall made his win look easy with Schrimpf, Hunter and Schultz following. Hall continued to dominate in the Final.

Schrimpf and Schultz rounded out the top five. The 250 Open semi-final started with Kevin Kilkenny getting a little wild coming off the line.

Hangtime three race weekend Akron, Indiana - August 1 & 2 By Becky Stichter

ood weather and a track ready to be ridden on brought the racers out to Hangtime this weekend. A few riders were missing as they were competing at Loretta Lynn’s. Although the numbers were a little lower in the 65cc (7-9) class, there was a lot of battling going on. Connor Brew and Chandler Pitts took charge. They were putting the heat on each other all day. Saturday morning in the first moto Brew crossed the finish line first, with Pitts right behind. In the second moto Pitts had the advantage and took first, for a first overall. These two had their bikes humming in every moto. Just one small error by either rider was all that the other needed to grab the first place. Behind the leaders there was a battle between Trenton Hobbs and Justin Stichter. These two were neck and neck.

In the first moto, Hobbs crossed the finish before Stichter. In the second moto, Stichter beat Hobbs. This gave Hobbs fifth overall and Stichter fourth overall. Colton Crum rode in between the two battles, finishing third in both motos. Saturday evening Brew and Pitts tore up the track again. Pitts placed first in both motos this time. The way Brew was riding you wouldn’t know he was just returning from an injury. Brew just began racing in the 85cc (9-11) class this season and is showing his skill already. He took first in both motos Saturday morning. Quinton Camp was a double winner on Justin Stichter raced in both the Saturday. He took first motocross Saturday night, and the GP on Sunday.

place in both motos in the Youth class and Supermini classes. Saturday evening he again took won both motos in Supermini. Erek Kidney was also a double winner Saturday morning. He took first overall in both the 250 and Open B classes. Nathyn Allen put a little heat on him in the second moto of the 250B class, but Kidney still managed to walk away with the overall. There was a pretty good turn-out for the 50cc riders on Saturday. In the 50cc (7-9) class, Jeffrey Herrell took first overall in the morning and evening races. There are some riders in this class that have been improving this season. Colyn Iden and Connor McCormick have

been getting faster each week, so keep an eye on them . Sunday was Grand Prix day. This often brings out a group of new riders. If you want to test your stamina, this is the event to try. The younger riders race for 30 minutes, and the older adults race for an hour. If you really want a challenge, run in more than one class... picking up one in the morning, and then another in the afternoon portion of the program. That’s what Connie Fiest did. He took first in the +25 and +30 classes. He didn’t come out of the gates first, but it didn’t take him long to move into that position and stay there. He is just a strong rider and knows how to pace himself. Two mini quad riders took the Grand Prix challenge. Gary Klinger and Jordanne Stichter faced the challenge. Klinger came out of the gates hard and took the holeshot. Stichter was later able to pass him, and take the first place. Even though they were tired at the end of the

race, they both said they had fun. They enjoy the longer track time the Grand Prix offers. Yes, there was some good racing and fun this weekend. It’s just a nice way for a family to spend a weekend together. Ask the Klingers. Dian, Gary, Larry and Mike all race. Seven week old Madison isn’t racing yet, but she’s at the tracks stealing the show!

Chilman, Cregg win at Stoney columbus, In - August 16 By David Dunnuck Photos by Cheryl Dunnuck

he final round of the Stoney Lonesome Hare Scramble Series was held. All four of the previous races were nothing short of being characterized as mud bogs. For this race, Mother Nature cooperated, and riders found themselves with fantastic track conditions along, with a little Southern Indiana heat. The PeeWee racers lined up in two rows, with the Premixed riders heading off first followed by the Injector class. Langdon Feltner went out determined to win his fourth consecutive Stoney Lonesome race. Tanner Guerrettaz, the only rider to beat Feltner this year was staying well within striking distance. Unfortunately for Guerrettaz, he fell just seconds short of claiming his second victory. Louden Feltner pushed hard early challenging Jacob Stark, who proved to be

too much. Stark remained unbeaten at Stoney in the Injector class. The mini race was sure to be a barn-burner with three riders in the 85cc class close enough in points that the top rider of the three would claim the championship. Keagen Lee, Luke Chilman and Taylor Day had all been on top of the podium at one time or another during the series. The race started with 49 riders on the starting line in three rows. The super mini class headed into the woods first, followed by the 85cc and then the 65cc classes. Super Mini rider Matthew Hatchett set the pace early in the race - leading the pack through the checkpoint on the first lap with a 8:35 lap time. Larry Freund was next, intent on making the pass on the next lap. Luke Chilman was next through the gates, only 0:13 behind. Colton Wilkes was next, followed by Clay Sullivan, who was on the gas, determined to move up.

Somewhere on the course during lap two, Chilman took the overall lead. Taylor Day was filling the number two spot - needing to close by 0:40 if there was any hope of taking over the lead and the championship. Larry Freund claimed third place and riding in fourth place, Keagen Lee cranked it up. The fifth place position belonged to Matthew Hatchett. Chilman was still in the lead at the end of lap three, but with a smaller lead than on the previous lap. Day remained in the second while Freund was solid in third place. There was no change in

the Mini Overall until lap six where Chilman and Day maintained the top two spots, but Lee cranked it up to the third place position. On the eighth and final lap, Chilman received the checkered flag and the right to claim the 85cc championship. The big bike field was filled with ninety-one riders, up from the previous events. The tremendous speed and control Jeff Cregg has exhibited this year was not going to stop the likes of John Robbins, Nathan Sullivan, Jordan Johns and others from trying to take that top podium spot. The first rider through the

checkpoint at the end of the first lap was Cregg followed close behind by Robbins. Mark Smith,

Nathan Sullivan and Austin Shroyer rounded out the top five spots. Cregg maintained his lead

through the second lap. While there was some movement among the other top ten riders, the big mover on this lap was Matthew Sims, moving up 13 places from the forty second spot to twenty ninth overall in his first big bike race at Stoney. Cregg was still in the lead when the white flag was thrown at the end of lap six with the rest of the pack picking the track debris from their goggles and chest protectors. Sullivan, Robbins, Johns and Daniel Sims rounded out the top five. The final round of the Stoney Lonesome MC Series ended with no change in the top five overall spots on the white flag lap. In the end we found only one race and series champion, with Jeff Cregg controlling the field throughout the race, with an average speed of just over 22 MPH.

Rain foils finals at Chilton Short Track chilton, Wisconsin - July 26 By Hannah Lange

ravity Park USA short track, located in the heart of East-Central Wisconsin was prepped to perfection and ready to race on before rain came falling. Come main event time, only two classes got to complete the finals, the Youth and 4- Stroke Quads. There were two rain delays inbetween the heats before a huge cloud poured onto the track, and the officials had to cancel the rest of the show. Drenched and muddy, there was disappointment from the racers and families alike. This was the first race in Chilton for District 16 this year, and we were all looking forward to it. Sunday’s race brought six riders for the Youth Quad class. Three were very eager to race as they jumped before the green, which penalized them to start on the second start line. Payton Hall of Princeton grabbed the lead from the start and finished the same, while Dylan Seis and Hunter Schultz combated the last two laps of the race to see who could out run the other, with Seis claiming second on the last lap. The 4-Stroke Quads also had six riders. Cory Mahlum of Burnett got the holeshot. There was heavy competition between each rider in this class. On lap five, Andrew Garvey out ran Stuart Hunt to take over the fifth position. It was an intense race for Mahlum and Matt Schmitz, with Schmitz grasping the victory at the finish line.

The rest of the riders had to accept the finishes of their heats to be their final of the day. The rare Sprint Karts also wanted to put on a good show for us but Mother Nature didn’t want to cooperate. Thank you Bob Schneider for your extreme racing facility and for your efforts to put on a good show. You provided a marvelous track, no matter what the weather did. See you next year!

Demuth Does It Again Grayslake, Illinois - July 29-30 By Dave Deringer Photos by Carol Hessen

exas resident Josh Demuth has an addiction to the Nielsen Enterprises sponsored Lake County Fair Stadium Motocross. He always shows up and he rarely loses. This year’s version was much the same as he won three out of four Pro main events and both +25 classes over the two day event. With the help of old friend Junior Jackson, Demuth was set up with two brand new KTM’s perfectly prepped for the usual battle. It was the first time that the three-time Arenacross champion had ever ridden a KTM and on more than one occasion, he said, “These bikes are good.” Demuth’s main competition came in the form of Indiana’s Travis Sewell and local boy Tommy Hofmaster, who has raced at the fair for the past twelve years. Both riders were aboard Yamahas and Sewell took one win, coming in Wednesday’s Friends Josh Demuth and tommy Hofmaster after one of the races.

450 Pro main. Hofmaster took two seconds and two thirds in the Pro classes, and two seconds in the +25 class. He later said, “I just might have to come out of retirement, these fair races are where it’s at.” This year’s running of the fair was a tad different as the fair has moved to an entirely new location, about a mile south of the old grounds. The purse was trimmed to $4000 and the rider turnout was affected as the event got a really late final go-ahead to take place as the new grounds were still under construction. Schaefer

Josh Demuth holds off the efforts of a determined travis Sewell.

Tracks built the all new track, which was praised by many, and they did a remarkable job saving the track on Thursday after a massive rain storm hit just an hour before the show was to start. The fans still came out in droves, both nights, as they always do, and were treated to some great racing. Everyone involved had a great time, and all are looking forward to all the improvements coming to the new facility over the course of this next year.

always look forward to making the short three hour trip to Upper Michigan to race the pristine Valley Raceway in Crystal Falls. Smooth roads on Highway 41 and not a lot of traffic makes for a good ride hauling a fifth wheel trailer. I just know that when you get there, regardless of weather, it just feels like motocross heaven. The track will be groomed to perfection by Chuck Uren and family. This time Mother Nature let Chuck have a rest as the rain let loose for nearly four hours on Friday night, soaking the red sand, making practice primo for the nearly 175 riders that were in attendance. There’s nothing like riding that track at full tilt in the early morning first practice as you set in the lines. You can basically go anywhere and just hold it wide open. That right there made my weekend. I liked that first practice so much I got up early on Sunday morning and did it again. The 250B class had the one of the largest turnouts on the day as Shawn Zeugner put his Suzuki into the lead with Joshua Greatens in tow. Zeugner kept the lead in tact with Cody Warren, Joshua McCole and Rob Boussum battling it out for third. Warren, who is know for his superior start skills was about fourth and worked his way into the second spot, but had to watch Zeugner take the checkers ahead of him after four hard fought laps. Zeugner took the win with Warren second and McCole third ahead of Boussum. The second moto had Warren on the far left side of the booth. Warren used momentroy Lipka in +25A.

Stephanie Hinze and Jessica Barribeau ran this close all weekend.

tum through the right hand turn coming from the left side to grab the holeshot with McCole in second. Warren and McCole are really good friends off the track, but everyone was waiting to see the battle for the lead. Warren stretched his lead early but by the end of the second lap McCole had his sights set on the leader. McCole made a few attempts for the lead but Warren shut the door each time. McCole made one last ditch effort as they came into the final corner with McCole on the outside. He kept it pinned as he hooked up in the sand to pass Warren as they went over the finish line jump. McCole took the overall via his 3-1 tallies over Warren’s consistent 2-2. Rounding out the top five were Zeugner (1-3), Josh Kruitt (5-4) and James Marietta (9-5). “I took the holeshot and about the halfway through the second moto I could feel Josh McCole behind me. I just kept pushing as hard as I could but he got me on the outside of that cor-

ner,” said second place finisher Cody Warren. In +25 action it was David Rock on a Suzuki getting the lead from Troy Lipka as he just edged him out. Rock took the first moto win ahead of Lipka. Lipka turned things around in the second moto as found himself on top with a moto win and the overall via his 2-1 tallies. Taking second overall with a 3-2 finish was Cody Wills. Rock would end up in the third spot with his 1-4. “I got a lot of built up aggression after coming off of knee surgery and to see David Rock get those holeshots, I had something to chase,” said Lipka. “It took me a while a few times but I got lucky down in the back and got around the backside of him and he snubbed it shortly after,” Lipka said. Dylan DeClerc got the nod on the holeshot in the first moto of Open A with Jacob Greatens, Ryan Gilbert, Jesse Koth and John Vandezande close behind. DeClerc went down after the plateau but somehow managed to keep the bike running and took off right before Greatens put a tire on him. DeClerc kept the lead and took the win with Greatens a close second and a great ride by Jesse Koth for third. Rounding out the top five were Vandezande and Dylan Koth. The second moto had Dylan Koth nailing the holeshot on his Yamaha after coming off an early season collarbone surgery. Koth looked like he never missed a beat as he stretched his lead on with Brandon Crevier and Jake Zeugner. Koth took the second moto

win and his 5-1 score netted him the overall ahead of Vandezande’s 4-3. Koth was very happy with his results as this race surely boosted his confidence. “I got the holeshot, I thought I was going to get pinched off by Wade Gilbert and Brandon Crevier but I held it on through the first corner to the inside. I got out front early but I did get tired, and they started to catch me but I held on for the win,” said Koth. Saturday night came and went with a few showers to keep the track just right as over 200 entries were on hand as Sunday morning came around for the second day of racing. It was Jesse Koth putting his Yamaha into the lead early on in 250A with Jacob Greatens and Brandon Crevier in tow. Koth held the pack behind as Crevier bobbled in the whoops. Greatens got around Koth for the lead

shortly after and then John Vandezande took second. Greatens took the first moto win, but Vandezande redeemed himself in the second moto as he took the win and overall victory. In Open A it was legend Lee Heckendorf’s kid Justis, taking pointers from the old man to grab the first moto holeshot. Justis grabbed the lead with Josh McCole in second while Jarrett Kimball and Rob Boussum battled it out for third. McCole tried to get around Heckendorf for the lead, but Heckendorf held the Upper Michigan rider back for quite a while. McCole eventually got around, but then had some troubles toward the end of the moto and found himself deep in the sand with his Yamaha letting the rest of the pack get around. Heckendorf took the lead and win aboard his two stroke. “I tried something different

there on the start. I was sliding all over the concrete and when this moto came about, I eased on the throttle as the gate dropped and I got the holeshot. I felt Josh all over me in the next two laps,” Heckendorf said. “He got around me as we were going down the straight. I think he caught his foot and high sided right there as I was on the outside where it was a little smoother. I kind of relaxed after that knowing there wasn’t anybody really that close and I then took the win,” said Heckendorf. In Mini Senior action it was Brandon Holmes taking the opening moto holeshot with Hunter Sayles in tow. Holmes got a little crooked through the final corner and Sayles got around for the lead at the end of the first lap. Sayles put a little distance on Holmes but then made a mistake in the whoops sending himself into the sand as Holmes took the point. It was all over from there as Holmes cruised to victory. “I got a good holeshot and Hunter got around me. Soon

after, I caught back up to him but he crashed in the whoops and I then took the win,” Holmes said. Holmes ended up winning the second moto as well to take the overall via his 1-1 scores.

Mini Mo-Down at Dutch MX Bloomingdale, Michigan - July 18 - 19 By Larry Witmer Photos by Kathie Brown

utch Sport Park’s 6th Annual Michigan Mafia Mini MoDown opened on Saturday, July 18th with a Jett landing. Not an aircraft, it was Jett Janowski taking his Cobra to a convincing overall in 50Sr. Then on Sunday he won the first moto, but Mother Nature spoiled the Indiana rider’s hopes for the big trophy when he went down during the last moto. Riders’ overall scores are combined for the two-day event to determine winners of the huge trophies given out along with great goodie bags. The trophies and bags are passed out on Sunday. Needless to say there was a full gate in the Auto Senior class all weekend. Regular race day awards were given each day, and the special trophies went to the riders with the best score for the weekend. The Mo-Down featured track changes, with great racing conditions on Saturday. Sunday, the skies opened and dumped rain on the racers midway through the first set of motos. It couldn’t dampen the spirits of the event though, as it wasn’t long before the sun returned and the track started drying out. The riders had huge smiles and eyes when the trophies were passed out at the end of the day. Many thanks go out to the sponsors of the event. The 50Sr moto one on Saturday saw Hunter Rhodes rip the holeshot over Jett Janowski and Zach McClenny from Iowa. Janowski wasted little time and took over the lead in the sandbox rockers just after the start line area. Thom Neuman from South Bend, IN. got his Cobra past McClenny in the offcamber section moving up to fourth. On the opening lap it was Janowski with a two second advantage over Rhodes, Neuman, McClenny and Dylan Phipps. The second moto had the same results as Jett bottomed out hard at the finish line jump shearing off the rear fender. Now that’s pushing that Cobra to the Max! Janowski took the win over Rhodes, with a three second cushion. Third went to Neuman with McClenny holding on to the fourth spot. Ezra Hastings

won it. Sexton carded second on the holeshot, taking over the lead on the opening lap. “I was close to getting the holeshot, but took the lead in the sand rockers. I love the double table tops. I am doing the full jump on both of them, landing on the down side. Much thanks to Polini/Dunlop/PR2 for all the help.” Runner-up at the checkers went to Chad Saultz of Batavia, IL. “I had a bad start and had to work up through the field. My sponsors are MSR/ Pit Posse/ UFO/ Alpine/ Decal Works.” Anthony Wallace took his KTM to the front of the pack for the $100 holeshot check. “I knew I could get the holeshot. It felt great going through the first corner with the lead and winning the check. I’d like to thank my Mom and Dad for their help.” The Big Bike $Extreme took place on the Sunday segment during halftime was a Nick Vaughn benefit race. Nick took the holeshot and was never challenged to the checkers some twenty five minutes later. The rain was starting to fall, and raised havoc on goggles. Vision soon became a problem. Randy Woodring took a spot on the podium carding third after a long dual with Matt Wyman who settled for fourth place money. “That was a long race. I’m used to fair Announcer Larry Witmer races that last some three minutes. with chase Sexton, Mini $Extreme winner. I knew that last lap was going to be intense with Wyman.

Crowds continue at Hawkeye Downs cedar Rapids, Iowa - July 25 By Michael Sierens

reat weather greeted the riders in attendance for round 8 of the 10 round series by Cedar Valley Trail Riders at Hawkeye Downs. Time is running out for those riders trying to put themselves into position to claim victory in the season long championship. With 40 points going to the winner, missing a single race could be detrimental to your championship dreams. Over 365 entries attended the event tonight, continuing to make 2009 a great year for the club as they have had large turnouts all season. The pack of Schoolboy riders took their gate drop in the main and it was Brennan Myers on his Honda grabbing the holeshot. Austin Foster, Steve Martens and Jake Harnish rounded out the top four. By the end of the first lap, Myers had opened up a sizeable lead. Harnish moved into third with a run through the whoops. Just past the halfway point, Myers still held his lead while Foster was riding a lonely race in second. Harnish was getting pressure from Martens in a fight for third. The race for third place went down to the last few corners, and when they came down towards the spectators Martens had made the last lap pass around Harnish. Rochelle Charnowski continued her dominance in the Women’s class by taking the

holeshot in front of Hailee McDonald. Marissa Cozine quickly moved to the inside and overtook McDonald to move into second place. Marissa Busby on her Honda also made the move around McDonald and then went right to putting pressure on Cozine. Charnowski kept a fast pace up front but couldn’t shake Busby throughout the moto. Cozine was now being chased by Kayla Allers on her 85cc Yamaha. The two riders battled down to the last few corners, but Cozine held onto third behind Busby and Charnowski. Nick Wineland on his Suzuki grabbed the holeshot in front of the 14-rider pack in the Quad C Open class. Matt Page was in second followed by Nick Crow early. Crow made his move into second place in the back section by jumping past Page, and drew to within a quad length of Wineland by the end of lap one. First trip through the whoops saw the leader take it easy while Crow tried to stay on top of the whoops. The pack was single file through the top six riders where you saw Tyler Davis and Trey Winkowitsch battling side by side in the back section of the track. Kerry Unkrich got separated from his Yamaha in the infield section on the third lap. Justin McDonald moved to the back of second place rider Crow on the last lap but wasn’t able to find a way around him. Up front, Wineland took an impressive win in the main.

Dalton Holle through one of the many perfectly prepped corners.

The holeshot in the 50 Junior main went to Tyler Inman on his Cobra. Behind him was Brennan Wages and Kaden Mohror in second and third. Inman and Wages quickly checked out from the rest of the pack. Mohror was sitting all alone in third at the end of lap one, but Matthew Hykel was gaining ground. The white flag was out and all eyes in the stands were watching the battle for third as Hykel closed the gap to a single bike length on Mohror as the two began their final lap. They were side by side through the whoops and Hykel made the pass for the final spot on the podium. Up front it was a wire-to-wire win for Inman, his second victory in his two appearances here at Hawkeye Downs. One of the larger classes of the night saw twenty riders in the 250B main event. Current points leader Logan Neuhaus put his Yamaha two-stroke up front through the first turn with the lead. Behind Neuhaus was Kyle Diemer, Brian Jestrab and Bryce Craig as they headed towards the back section for the first time. Heat race winner Craig made the inside move through the sweeper. Neuhaus started to pull out a small gap over Diemer as Craig was giving Diemer pressure for second. Ryan Hetzler on his Yamaha picked up a couple spots after a slow start by moving into the eighth place on the second lap behind Corey Jacobe. Up front the first three riders separated themselves from the rest of the pack with Neuhaus taking another win, his fifth on the season. In second was Diemer as Craig had to settle for third.

Aztalan draws over 500 Lake Mills, Wisconsin - August 9 By Dave Hollub

Jonathan Kraemer gets some support from a fan in 125Jr.

he track crew had been working hard all week to make sure the new Hughson Hollow addition was ready this race. It has been a while since Aztalan added a new section, and the 512 entries today were excited to see the change. Practice showed that everyone had a different take on whether they should launch off it (and try the 110 foot triple) or just scrub it and go. By the time racing started the lines were grooved and most riders had made up their minds on how they were hitting it. The first class out was the PW Seniors and when the gate dropped it was Dylan Densow barely edging out Dalton Hein for the holeshot. Densow maintained the lead to the finish while Bryce Hansen made a pass on Hein for second. Dylan Broberg slipped into fourth and held it to the finish. In moto two Hein grabbed the holeshot but was soon passed by Densow. Hansen battled his way past Hein and started pursuing Densow. On lap three over the tunnel Hansen made his move and got by Densow. Hansen (2/1) grabbed the overall with Densow (1/2) second and Hein (3/3) claiming third. Unlimited A saw a new holeshot specialist as Tony Kutzler rounded the first corner with a two bike lead on the class. Over the plateau on lap one it was still Kutzler out front with Joey Dretzka

looking for any chance to take the lead. On lap two Dretzka made his move in the sand section and despite pressure from Kutzler, was able to hold the lead to the finish. Meanwhile a running battle was going on for third as Brad Behrens fought off challenges from Ryan Hughson. Eric Hollub was running fifth but still got in on the battle for third as he closed within bike lengths on the east end only to slip back. Hughson wore down Behrens and took over third before they jumped the plateau on lap five. Kutzler once again grabbed a big holeshot in moto two with Dretzka and Jason Erdmann running close. Dretzka made his move on lap two and quickly gained some breathing room. Erdmann now had his hands full holding off Hughson as he started sticking is wheel in every chance he could. On lap three while dropping off just before the plateau Dretzka went down and by the time he was up and had his bike re-fired he was back in fourth place. Kutzler took advantage of Dretzkaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mistake and held the lead to the finish. Erdmann got some breathing room be-
