Hello Race Fans! Wow, can you believe it’s June already? It seems like just last week I was complaining about winter, wondering if it was ever going to end. Then, all of a sudden, the kids are out of school, the swimming pools are open and we’re 4 months into the race season. Like they say, time flies when you’re having fun. June is going to be a big month here around the region. It all kicks off with the Yamaha All Star National at Doublin Gap. Then it’s Loretta’s regional time, the youth need to travel to Birch Creek in Danville, VA on June 12 & 13, then it’s back to Doublin Gap for the amateur regional on June 26 & 27. Remember these races are pre-qualify only, but head on out to cheer on your favorite racers. MRA would like to wish the best of luck to all riders shooting for the Nationals. Mid month you can head to Miles Mountain in Elkland, PA. They are the newest facility in District 6 and they are hosting their very first D-6 championship points event on June 20. Make sure you check this race out, it is a very cool track and well worth the ride. For all of you off road racers, Foot of the Mountain is promoting their first 2 day event of the year. It sounds like a great deal to me, travel once and earn points on 2 different days. They are also offering an evening Bar-B-Q on Saturday night (special start times apply, please check their schedule). Round 5 of the PA State Hare Scramble Series will be hosted at Jack Frost on June 20 with Round 6 being put on by the Back Mountain Enduro Riders on the 27th. Well, you can see there’s no reason to be bored this month. Check the upcoming event schedule right here in MRA for a complete list of events around the area, and make sure you log onto www.mcracingaction.com every week to view and purchase your race photos. As always, please support the promoters and advertisers in MRA and tell them we sent you. They are the ones that make this publication possible. Have a great month, and we’ll see you at the track.

HOLESHOT HOTSHOT Rider:
Logan Ehrets Hometown: Bernville, PA Bike: King Cobra Age: 7 yrs. District#: 98
Experience: 3 yrs.
Class: 50cc 7-8 stock Hobbies: Karate, Fishing, Riding His Scooter
RACER REVIEW Name:
Sponsors: Yamaha City, East Penn Biker, Klotz, C & C Pizza, Scott, M2R, Liquid Performance, Mom & Dad MRA caught up with Logan Ehrets at Sleepy Hollow in April of this year. Logan was your D-6 Champion in both the 50cc 4-6 oil and stock divisions last year, and has bumped up to the older 7-8 class this season. Logan grabbed the hole shot at Sleepy Hollows Pre- Easter race in moto one and competed to a fourth place finish on the day. Logan also grabbed a pair of holeshots at the Pagoda Motorcycle Club last month. He has been finishing consistently in the top 5 and it’s just a matter of time before he starts getting the checkers in the faster 7-8 division. Keep an eye on this young racer, I’ll bet there are more district championships in his future. Watch out next month, you just might be the next MRA Hotshot. Jim Bull, MRA

David Disciullo Age: 17 yrs. Hometown: Coatesville, PA Experience: Racing 4 yrs Ride: Kawasaki 2 Stroke District #: 171 Class: 125 / 250 Expert Sponsors: RRP, Crossroad Powersports, Two Jacks Cycles, Traxx, Sunstar, Moto Play Ground, Scott, Boyesen, Twin Air, MSR, Asterisk, M2R MRA caught up with Pagoda Club member Davey Disciullo at their second event of the year in Mid April, and let me tell you, catching this guy is not an easy feat. Davey has just turned 17 but you wouldn’t know it watching him ride against veteran Pro riders like Ty Wallace and David Ginolfi. An even bigger surprise is that this future MX star only started racing just 4 short years ago when he was 12 years old. It goes to show with hard work and determination you can accomplish whatever you set out to do. Davey trained in Florida in the off season this past year and has set his sights on the Amateur Nationals at Loretta Lynns. He has also been talking with Team Green hoping to secure a spot on their team with an outstanding finish at the Nationals. Davey copped a 2nd and a 3rd place finish at Pagoda in April racing against the likes of Dustin Kendall and Ty Wallace. Watch this young man go, but don’t look away for a second, if you do he’ll be gone. Jim Bull MRA

Pagoda Motorcycle Club BIRDSBORO, PA, APRIL 18 By Jim Bull
Once again, Rossini Racing Products sponsored Ty Wallace showed the Pro/ Expert riders in AMA District Six that he is the man to beat in 2004. Close to 500 racers attended the Pagoda Motorcycle Clubs second race of the season sponsored by Leisure Equipment in Parker Ford, Pennsylvania in mid April. Wallace swept six motos on the day in three different divisions. In the first moto of the 250A class Wallace grabbed the lead on his Crossroad Powersports Honda CRF450 followed closely by Cumberland Kawasaki / PR2 Racings Dustin Kendall, RRP / Two Jacks Cycles Davey Discuillo then the Honda ride of Travis Harnish out of Quarryville, Pennsylvania. By lap two Wallace and Kendall had established themselves as the front runners with a lot of jockeying going on in the third, fourth and fifth positions behind them. Stephen Stella and David Ginolfi had worked past Harnish and were swapping spots when Stella crashed hard on the third lap, this allowed Ginolfi to put the pressure on Discullio and get by for third, Nathan Updkye rounded out the top five. In moto number two Ginolfi took the early lead followed by Wallace, Kendall, Discuillo and Harnish. Kendall, determined to get the win on the day charged hard and moved his Kawasaki into the front spot halfway thru the first lap followed by Wallace and Discuillo. Unfortunately Kendall lost his front end in a soft corner and took a clutch lever right to the neck. This allowed Wallace and Discuillo to move by and race to the checkers, with Wallace once again coming out on top for the overall.
Rich Kastle was taking the Superman course early in the day. Fortunately for Rich everything turned out OK

Chris rides for American Suzuki out of his parents shop (Rizzon Cycle) in the PA State Hare Scramble Series as well as competing in D-6 and ECEA events around the region. Chris is a past PA State, D-6 and FDMC Track champion. He is off to another stellar start this season with several wins under his belt along with a handful of second place finishes. Watch for Chris this year in all of the Off Road Series around the region. My bet is when the dust clears he will be one of the riders sitting at the top of the podium.

Pennsylvania State RD #3 Hurricane Hhills – 4/25/04 This round of the Pennsylvania State Harescramble series was held at Hurricane Hills MX park in Clifford Pa. BP Promotions had a challenging and fun course laid out throughout the National style MX track and into the hills that surround the area. The forecast had been calling for rain in the afternoon, but the morning was surprisingly pleasant. As we traveled north heading to the track the skies darkened and the rain began to fall. At the track racers were prepping for the worst, taping up bumpers and gathering extra gloves and goggles. During the bike race the rain fell heavily for several minutes. As race time neared the rain slowed and racers quickly made there way to the starting area. Despite the impending afternoon storm racers poured onto the track filling the starting area. The attendance at this round was great, our Open A class had 26 racers, a record for the class. GNCC champion Traci Cecco was lined up ready for the mud. Traci lined up next to fellow GNCC womens class racer Steph Verkade. Both women on the “new” 4 stroke powered machines.Traci with the Alba Racing YFZ450 and Stephanie on her East Coast ATV TRX450R. Several top GNCC contenders made it out to play in the mud. GNCC #2 Chris Borich wasn’t about to miss out on the fun. Todd Rothermel GNCC #29 left his Polaris for a Yamaha and was anxious to see how it felt. Rob Hertz competed on a dirtbike in the 4 stroke B class and then rushed to the start of the ATV race. The starting line stretched the the width of the MX gate and beyond. With 26 of the states best Harescramble racers on one line it was sure to get exciting. As the flag dropped, the mud began to fly, after it was all sorted out, Chris Borich lead the 26 rider class into the woods with Traci Cecco hot on his heels. Dan Destefano and Mark Carman (Powerline ATV/ ECATV) had great starts and tried to pick there way through the trees in pursuit of the leaders. Jarred McClure had a mid pack start but it wasn’t long till he started putting a good lap in and was gaining on the leaders. After the MX track the race entered the woods where a large number of riders ended there day. The mud was slick and the rocks weren’t helping. Cecco ran into problems shortly after entering the woods and handed second place to Dan Destefano. Destefano pushed hard to take the lead from Borich but wound up taking a dirtbike line from earlier in the day which left him stuck. Destefano dropped back a few spots but was able to get back into the race a short time late. Meanwhile local favorite Mark Walters and former
PA State RD.# 4 Foot of the Mountain – 5/2/04 This round of the Pennsylvania State Harescramble Championship lead us to the Foot of the Mountain in Neelyton Pa. FOM is located west of Harrisburg off of the PA Turnpike. The track is situated just as its name describes at the foot of a mountain. FOM offers a great variety of terrain with creek crossings, hillclimbs, rocks and a grass track. Local racers Randy Brandt and Chad Kirby are always exciting to watch in the Vet. class. Brandt has taken the overall win several times after starting in the Vet class. The Vet. class starts 30 seconds behind the Open A class. The A class was off the line first with Chris Borich and Rob Hertz out front. Todd Rothermel and Mark Carman were in pursuit. Rothermel was aboard his Yamaha and Carman was riding his ECATV/ Powerline 250R. The racers battled through several deep mudholes and up the rocky hills for an hour and a half. Throughout that time GNCC #45 Rob Hertz set a blistering pace trying to elude the #2 Yamaha of Borich. The two racers swapped lines and picked their way through the trees like whitetail deer. At one point Hertz was able to pull out a slight lead after Borich caught a kicker and was sent over the bars. Chris quickly remounted his ride and got back in the race. It didn’t take long for him to catch back up and he took over the lead quickly. In the end Borich took the win with Rob Hertz finishing second, his best finish of the series so far. Todd Rothermel held on for third place. Mark Carman was having a great day until a loose skid plate forced him to pit. After the skid plate was removed he was back in action but had lost several positions. Carman finished fifth with Lee Dickerson grabbing the fourth spot. That’s two great finishes in a
GNCC Pro Tyson Thomas had picked there way up the mountain side and through the piles of stuck quads. Walters pulled away from Thomas and set his sights on GNCC #2 Borich. As the laps wound down Walters had no idea that he was actually with in striking distance of Borich. The pack battled there way over the rocks and through the mud one last lap before the checkers, and in the end it was Borich with the win. Mark Walters took a very respectable 2nd place finish Story with Tyson Thomas, Daniel Destefano and Lee Dickerson rounding out the top five.
This was certainly an exciting round of racing. The mud makes things hard for everyone, racers, pit crews, reporters and scorers. In future rounds I will have coverage from all of the classes, so stop by and let me know how you did!!
row for Dickerson in this series. In the Vet class Chad Kirby was off to a great start but Randy Brandt stole the spot light and quickly took over the lead. Brandt rocketed his Cannondale to the front of the pack and had his sight set on catch the A class leaders. Kirby wasn’t about to let the Cannondale walk away with out a fight. Chad charged to within a few seconds of Randy and waited for a chance to make his move. On lap four after nearly 45 minutes of intense racing the Cannondale of Randy Brandt had enough. The rear suspension let loose and left him grounded on the side of the trail. This gave the lead to Kirby and he went on to take the win in the highly competitive Vet. class. The C class had a great battle for the win going between Ron Dernoski and Marlin Kurtz. After things were sorted out on the first lap, Marlin kurtz found himself leading the class. With the intense mudholes and rocky hillclimbs on the track, Kurtz was able to pull out a healthy lead on the class. He held onto that lead for several laps, while C&D Racing backed Ron “Derno” Dernoski clicked seconds off of that lead. Dernoski had gotten a horrible start and was left to battle his way back from last. Lap after lap Derno gained on Kurtz and widdled what was a one minute lead down to only a few seconds. With 2 laps to go Derno put his C&D Racing Cannondale right were it needed to be. Kurtz went low to get a run on a hillclimb and left the door open for Derno to take the lead. Once in front Dernoski walked away with a well deserved win, he really had to work for this one! I hope to see everyone out at round 5 at Back Mountain. If anyone has information to contribute and would like to help with the ATV Harescramble coverage feel free to call me at 267-374-0500. I really enjoy reporting the action, but I’m a racer myself and sometimes its hard to see the action from the track. Until next race, ride safe! A ALPHRT SPO

It’s Part of Racing By: Bob Schuler – Total Two Wheel Training No one ever said it was fun, but crashing is a part of the sport. Believe it or not when I was a kid I really enjoyed crashing as long as I did not get hurt. I always raced with that “win or crash trying” approach. I had a good coach named Robert Eugster who always told me to slow down to go fast. I listened but didn’t fully understand. Now I know what he was talking about. Just because you blow by guys like they are standing still, it doesn’t matter when you are picking yourself up off of the ground two laps later. That doesn’t mean that you will not crash every now and then. To ride better you have to test yourself, really push yourself to the limit. You also have to be prepared if you crash – wear the proper gear. If your hit is a hard one then make sure you get properly checked out. You don’t want an injury going untreated. I hate hospitals as much as the next guy but sometimes that is the best place for you. Just remember, if possible, change out of your gear. ER nurses love to use those really sharp scissors to cut through your pants, jersey, and even your boots! Not only are you stuck in the hospital or on your couch, which some people think is the only safe thing you should ride. You also have to hear all the “Why are you still doing this?” guestions. You can’t get around like you want and most of all you are sidelined from the sport. Once you have had a professional assess your injuries it is time for recovery and rehabilitation. Talk to your doctor and make sure he understands you want to do what is necessary for a speedy recovery. As soon as you can, get back to training and even racing again. The best thing to do is go to a sports medicine medical group. They will really help you out. So many things have changed. No more lying around for a month before you start doing things again. A good sports medicine group will really push you and let you know when it is safe to ride again. They know that you want to get back into your sport. I am fortunate enough to work with a great group, the Allentown Sports Medicine and Human Performance Center. They really know their stuff. I know from experience. I crashed six weeks ago. I spent a week in ICU with a collapsed lung, a separated shoulder, and six broken ribs an inch from my spine. I started rehab and cardio work as soon as I could take the pain and my lung was back up and working. I listened to my doctors and the rehab people followed their program and will be back riding in two more weeks. Patience is very important and the older I get the more I realize that. You have to give your body time to heal but also exercise to keep it strong. The older you get the longer it takes to heal. Unless you are racing for a living it pays to wait until you are healed before you jump back on. This is coming from someone who raced as a kid in the Maryland State Championships with fifty four stitches in my inner thigh. A result from a crash I had at Boiling Springs that same season. I just took a piece of one inch foam and wrapped duct tape around it. (Self prescribed medical advice!) An example of the saying “Old enough to know better but too young to care.” That pretty much says it all. I had worked so hard that season that nothing was going to stop me. Luckily in my case it turned out ok - I won the championship on my 490 Maico in the open class. So, take care of your body, it is the only one you have. There are no doovers in life. See you at the races real soon. I have not been there because it’s hard to sit and watch and not get right back on my bike. Thanks, Bob Schuler

Hart Hammers First Win at Trail-Way ST By Len Breech Photos by Ben Breech HANOVER, PA. MAY 1 In a season that has had more rainouts than races, Trail-Way Speedway almost pulled off its only night race of the season. Rains hit about halfway through the finals, and made the track too slick after a few minutes. After practically owning the 85 (12-15) class two years ago, R. J. Hart had trouble cracking the top five last season. Things looked about the same this season, with a third place finish in one of the two heats. But when the greenlight came on at the start of the 600 B final, Hart put his Fredericktown Yamaha sponsored YZF-450 in front of Jonathan Reid, Vince Bower, Cory Texter and Henry Mangers. For an evening race, the track kept an unusually narrow groove, making passing somewhat difficult. The order stayed the same until about two laps left, when Reid slid out, unhurt in the second turn, while Texter moved up to pressure Bower for second, completing the pass coming off the final turn. Jim Chapman took the 40 + lead from Lowell Wherley, Joe Dohm, and Mike Keane, but Wherley took the lead by the end of the opening lap and pulled away. Dohm drifted back on his back up Yamaha after trashing his Rotax in one of the heats. Shawn Baer put his Battlefield H-D/Zechman’s Cycle sponsored Yamaha in front of Chris Klinefelter, Bryan Douglas and Jason Isennock at the start of the 450 Sportsman. Klinefelter stayed with Baer in the early laps, but Baer pulled just a few lengths out by the halfway point. The last race to be completed before the rains hit in force was the 125 B. Shayna Texter grabbed the lead from Brandon Robinson and Jordan Harris. Robinson took the lead before the end of the opening lap,

Aluminum vs. Weight
Reactive Suspension By Andy Fleck & Al Carr
www.reactive-suspension.com In a modern dirt bike the most prevalent material is by far Aluminium and with the advent of the four stroke the areas in which is being used are growing. Why aluminium you ask? There are many advantages to using aluminium in the construction of any motorcycle the main one being weight benefits, aluminium is about one third the weight of steel. In certain components this weight savings increases the performance aspects. One example is our wheels, the rims, sprockets, hubs, spoke nipples and even the rim locks are all constructed in aluminium. To improve suspension performance it is vitally important to keep the unsprung weight to a minimum. The lighter the wheel assembly the better your suspension will perform, hence the reason the factory bikes use magnesium hubs, lighter still but not quite as strong as aluminium. Before I continue let me explain unsprung weight. Unsprung weight is defined as "any component or part thereof not supported by the suspension." These components include the entire wheels and axles, rear sprocket, lower fork tubes and roughly half the swingarm and chain. If you could magically make these components weigh nothing your suspension sag measurements would not change as your suspension is not supporting these parts. Is that clear? Then lets move on. Aluminium is not the same material throughout your bike. Our bikes are usually made up of a few different alloys. I'm sure everyone has seen the designations 6061 and 7075. These are codes created by the Aluminium Manufactureres association back in the fifties. The first number classifies the element that is used in the aluminium to alloy it or increase its strength and durability. The 6 in 6061 stands for Silicon and Magnesium and the 7 in 7075 stands for Zinc. 6061 is the most common alloy as it is the cheapest and most readily available, it is easily machined and welded and has good corrosion resistance. It's yield strength (resistance to deformation) is around 40,000 psi and it's Tensile strength (resistance to breaking) is around 45,000 psi. Both are very good numbers but they pale in comparison to 7075. 7075 is the king of strength in aluminium alloys, actually its stronger than all but the highest strength heat treated steels. 7075 has a yield strength of 73,000 psi and a tensile strength of 83,000 psi but it is much more expensive than 6061 and more difficult to weld. Two other terms we are all familiar with is cast and forged. Cast parts are made from a molten aluminium poured into molds and cooled then finish machined, pistons and engine cases, cylinders and heads are good examples of this. Forgings are made by heating an aluminum slug until it is soft and then beating it into shape using expensive and elaborate tooling and then finish machined. Forged components are usually stronger than their cast counterparts so in areas where we need additional strength, forgings may be used. An example of forged parts are some aftermarket pistons, some frame and swingarm sub-assemblies and levers and perches. A lot of aftermarket goodies are advertised as machined from billet, this means they start with a block of aluminium and machine away what they don't want until they have a finished part, this usually results in an expensive part like a clutch basket or a set of triple clamps and a lot of wasted material on the shop floor. Someone once joked that a machinists job is to turn one large piece into a lot of small pieces, there is a lot of truth in that.

A lot of aftermarket aluminium parts come in fancy colours, this process is called Anodizing. It is an electrical process hence the "Anode" in conjunction with some chemicals that yields a change in the surface of the aluminium. Colored anodizing is a very thin layer that yields resistance to corrosion a pretty part and not much else. Hard Anodizing on the other hand yields a layer a couple of thousandths of an inch thick that resists wear, commonly this is found inside shock bodies and upper fork legs. In the first paragraph I mentioned four strokes because in an effort to reduce their weight to two stroke levels the factories are utilizing aluminium more and more to save a couple of grams here and a couple there. In the forks for instance the back up washer behind the fork seal is now aluminium and the rebound rod which was at first a steel tube and then an aluminium rod is now an aluminium tube, I'd need an Apothecarys scale to measure that weight saving. One last fact about the use of aluminium that I would like to pass along in closing is that aluminium was adopted for use in road race and sport bike frames not for it's weight savings because it actually weighs the same as a steel frame but because for the same weight they could utilize more material and build a Al Carr Andy Fleck stiffer frame. Obviously in todays race bikes every ounce counts and aluminium is keeping us competitive.?????
