Happy Memorial Day, everybody! I know it’s almost a month away, but I have to get my plugs in when I can. This holiday has always been near and dear to me, as many of my family members who have passed were veterans of this country’s wars. It’s our duty and honor to stop and be thankful to those who have gone ahead and fought for this great country and for those who continue to and will in the future. Without them, America would be nothing, so I ask you all to, at the very least, stop and remember those who have fallen and to thank those who serve this coming Memorial Day. It’s what makes our country great.

Hey, on to the racing. Do you want to talk about great? This season is off to a bang, and I know I say it every year, but it seems like there’s more options out there than ever, and the best part about it is that the race tracks are full and people are racing their hearts out. Whether it’s raining or snowing or warm and sunny, the turnouts have been great and the racing fierce.

All of the series that we represent have seen good attendance, but how about that Ultimate MX Series opener. Was that a fluke or the real deal? Eight-hundred-plus racers showed up to

get after that one. The Pagoda Motorcycle Club had their hands full with that unexpected turnout, but as they say somewhere, they got ’er done.

Everyone got their motos in, and we all got home on Sunday. Wow! Let’s hope the rest of the year continues on in that fashion.

We are in full swing, and all the disciplines are hard at it. Check out the upcoming event schedule in this issue to see where you’re headed. There are many two-day events this month so you can take advantage of the extra ride time. Don’t forget: if you aren’t racing on Memorial Day Monday, head over to Lebanon Valley Cycles in Jonestown, PA. The MX for Christ group is having a motorcycle flea market and barbecue on May 25th from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to help raise funds for camp this year.

As I’m sure many of you know by now, MRA has stepped up this year and become the official publication of most of the great organizations in our area. Watch for coverage from the Ultimate MX Series, the MDRA Series, the MAMA Race Series and all of the action from AMA District 7. In addition, we will feature Hare Scramble and Enduro racing and just about anything else race-elated that comes down the pike. We ask for your patience and your help as we get this all acclimated to our new format. If you are a race contributor or feel you can help your publication in any way, don’t be afraid to drop us a friendly email at MRA@engleonline.com. We’re always looking for ways to make things better. Also, be on the watch for our weekly website updates.

You can log on to www.mcracingaction.com and link to all of the great photographers and websites in our area. See who did what and support the photographers that are out there working hard for you, week in and week out.

We thank you all for reading, and we’ll see you at the track.

30 + winner Rick Winsett (11)

Lewis Leaves ’Em at Trail-Way ST Opener After running the Super Moto series for the past few seasons, former Amateur Horizon Award-winner John Lewis had a coming out party at the recent Daytona Nationals and returned to his roots, starting at Trail-Way Speedway for the first time in years. He took a pair of wins in two of the three largest entry classes and finished second to Don Taylor in the other. The race traditionally marks the beginning of the Mid-Atlantic short track season, and it was one of the nicest openers in many years.

A large portion of the over 200 entries were in the three 450-based Expert classes, each with three large heats. At the start of the Open A, Lewis put his Scott Powersportssponsored Kawasaki in front of Rick Winsett, Don Taylor, Brandon Robinson and Raun Wood. Lewis started pulling away, while the battle raged for third, with Robinson taking it off four on the second lap. Wood and Taylor were fighting hard for fourth when they collided in the third turn about halfway. Wood went to the hospital with a

C7 compression fracture and a bruised lung. Off the restart, Lewis pulled away from Winsett, and he from the Robinson/Cory Texter battle for third.

The Sportsman final was the last race of the day, and Lewis grabbed the lead from

Mar. 22 - By

battle in the 450 Stock Frame, getting off first over Lewis, Kevin Varnes, Cory Strickler and Robinson. Robinson was in third after three, with Wood emerging from the three-way battle for fifth on the seventh lap.

Dustin Healey also took a pair of wins, 65 and 85 (7-11).

He had to work hard for the 65, starting a close fourth behind Devin Owens, Kyle McGrane and Dalton Gauthier. By the fourth lap, he started rolling, taking third at the start of four, second on the backstraight of five, and by Gauthier in one on the final lap for the win.

The 85 (7-11) was a little easier, as he led off one from Cameron Smith, Ryan Varnes and Dylan Almony. Smith stayed very close the entire distance, but couldn’t get by.

Winsett took a wire to wire

Texter, Mike Varnes, Don Mullen and Chris Klinefelter.

Mike Poe took fifth on the third lap, while Mullen took third on the backstraight on lap four. Taylor was on the move, slicing his way forward from a poor start, taking fourth on the fifth lap. He sliced into Mullen’s margin, crossing the line side by side, with Taylor just getting the nod.

30 + win over Mike Varnes, Roy Miller and Kevin Varnes.

Kevin battled his brother-inlaw, Miller, the entire distance, finally controlling it on the seventh lap. Winsett won by almost a straight.

Team Phillips took a pair of wins, with Brad winning the 250 B final over a close Ryan Connelly with Tyler Phillips, Charlie Houck and Tyler Stacey behind in a follow-theleader final. Brad led Tyler, Connelly, Houck and Stacey at the start. Tyler took first off four on the opening lap, with Connelly second on the third lap. Brad dropped out at halfway with some bottomend noises.

Joe Gathercole held off Shayna Texter for their 250 Sportsman heat and led her at the start of the final, with Miller and Jake Shoemaker.

Gathercole threw a chain at the end of lap one, removing Texter’s only obstacle for the win. After battling the entire distance, Shoemaker took second at the start of the final lap.

(#151 and #217) Ryan Fulmar and Brent Plyer go at it in the back section.

Old man winter just wouldn’t let us go yet; it was cold, but no snow or rain.

It’s nice to get back outside and see everyone. Let’s get it started. A friend called me during sign-up and asked, “Any A riders show up?” As I’m looking down the list, I told him, “Just 19 in open A and 18 in 250 A. The gate is stacked. It’s a good thing you stayed home; you couldn’t deal with the excitement.”

Luke P and Michael G all looked good, but be warned: I was watching that group of younger guys behind you.

With his pink goggles and a hand full of throttle, Mr. Thompson is right back there, and he’s bringing Galbraith, Vertucci and Gabel along.

These two groups are going to be something as the years go on. I have a good feeling the Ultimate series this year is going to be really good.

A Sleepy recipe for good racing is to put in some Clark, Cook and Marshall, then add some Sidle and Kramer, then comes the Gaul and Sebastian, and then about 12 of the fastest. It was fill-thefence-with-fans good. If you missed it, your loss.

Thanks out to all the vet guys that showed up, and thanks to all that came.

In the Supermini and School Boy, two words: Page and Conner. Attention: starter make sure the track is empty before you let these two go.

They were going at it. Great race guys.

President’s Corner D7 President’s Corner

MAMA President’s Corner

MDRA President’s Corner

D6 President’s Corner

Last month I mentioned a few motocross series. I forgot two very important series. Delmarva Series and the Masters of Motocross Series are very significant to area riders and contribute significantly to their members.

This was my mistake in not including them originally. Both of these series are well represented and play a major role in District 7. Actually, this area, including District 6 and District 5, has more series and race programs than any other area in the country, bar none. The promoters, organizations, clubs, and individuals are the key to the success and strength of all of our programs. Just look at the diverse National champions that have come through this region of the country.

Since money is on everyone’s mind these days, I would like to break down District 7’s dues. The dues are $25 for a basic membership. The first $10 goes for the best newspaper on the East Coast. What other paper gives you timely local coverage, rider bios, and color advertisements?

The second $10 goes toward the riders’ disciplines yearend trophy fund. If you ride enduro, your money goes to the enduro trophy fund, not the motocross fund. $1.50 goes toward membership. These monies track, secure, assign numbers, demographically locate, and separate into their correct disciplines. This leaves the district with $3.50 to cover postage (mailing renewal and membership cards), monthly meeting hall rentals, insurance, auditing financial records, sending five congressmen to congress, post office box rental, and other miscellaneous expenses.

As you can see, it’s very hard to stay in the black from year to year. If you ride more than one discipline or class, your second card costs an additional $5. This goes directly to the discipline or class for year-end trophy fund, not to an expense account.

We have a new president running the country and a very harsh economic environment that he’ll hopefully lead us through. Due to the uncertainty of the future, District 7 is rescinding all attendance requirements in its motocross Gold Series. Our worst scenario would be for a rider to compete halfway through the series to be sidelined by financial uncertainties. We’re removing the minimum required amount of races for year-end awards.

This allows the rider to race and compete all year without the fear of not being considered for year-end awards or contingencies.

We currently have 85 members whose membership cards are being held because of improper information.

These names have been posted on the website, www. amadistrict7.com, and are being posted at all of the local tracks. Please contact Hilly Bell at district7membership@ comcast.net to have your membership finalized. You need your membership cards to race week to week. Otherwise, the promoters are going to hold you up at the sign-up window. This causes slowing the registration period down at the track, and none of us like to stand in line.

Remember, we’re all racers. We like to go fast. So don’t be slowing the process down.

Welcome to another wonderful season of Motocross with MAMA, where we get to see some great racing and great camaraderie.

Dear Fellow Racers,

Hello again!

Arguably one of the best Motocross series in the country today, amongst many, is this year’s D6MXPG Ultimate Motocross Series. We can possibly make this claim for a number of reasons, but mostly two. First is that the opening two rounds at Pagoda MC and most recently at Evansville Motocross Park both received record number turnouts (around 820 at Pagoda and 475 at Evansville). Give credit to the motocross participant because we really believe they do their homework when selecting the motocross event to race. Here in the northeast, other race facilities were holding events on the same day these records were set. Second, the Ultimate Series sponsor list has almost doubled from last year, which shows that companies want to attach their product where it will be best represented and promoted to the end user. All companies want to jump on a good train.

This year’s Ultimate series sponsors: Along with the Tony D Motocross schools as the title sponsor, multilevel sponsors include VPE (Vertucci Performance Equipment), Custom Home Loans, GMXR.net, EVO Industries, Gap Racing/Scott USA, D6MX.com, MGX Unlimited, Barefoot Racing, Bottle Run Xtreme, Beckley’s Camping Center, Deptford Honda Yamaha and FTR Powersports. Team this group up with our Quad Series sponsors - Davey Boy Concrete Cutting, Hetricks Racing, D-6 Quads Rule. com, Kool Kidz ATV and Thundermoto.com – and there’s no doubt that a wide band product range is represented. You can easily see that some of the sponsors who have nothing to do with motocross racing realize that a good way to expose their product line to a large number of potential customers is to advertise their product through the Ultimate Motocross Series. We would like to thank each and every one of our sponsors for their participation in this year’s Ultimate Series.

The month of May is loaded with Ultimate Series races, starting with Round 3: May 9-10 at Dutchmen Motocross Park, May 23-24 at Sleepy Hollow Motocross Park and May 30-31 at Doublin Gap Motocross Park. Don’t forget to check the website at www.d6mx.com for a full schedule of D6 MXPG motocross facilities and race dates.

On a totally different note, many of you are aware of Edison Dye. For those of you who are not, Edison Dye, without question, is the father of motocross in America. Not only did he import the bikes, he convinced the top riders in the world to race in a fall series that became the Inter-Am, and he almost single-handedly caused the sport to grow in America at an unprecedented rate.

In 1999 at the World Veteran Motocross Championships, he was brought out on the track in a limousine and was presented the Edison Dye MX Lifetime Achievement Award in front of thousands of appreciative fans. The legends that have received the award are a who’s who of motocross in America and the world.

Award-winners include Torsten Hallman; Bruce Brown; the 1981 Motocross Des Nation team of Donny Hansen, Chuck Sun, Danny LaPorte and Johnny O’Mara; Garry Jones; Jeff Ward; Stu Peters; Joel Robert; Bob Hannah and Brad Lackey. This year, the world Veteran Motocross Championships will celebrate its 25th anniversary. The event will be held at the Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, California, and will host almost 1,000 riders from approximately 20 countries of the world. The Edison Dye Lifetime Achievement Award for 2009 will be presented at this event to Tony DiStefano, arguably District 6’s most accomplished motocross rider ever. Congratulations, Tony D. District 6 motocross is proud of you!

Keep your feet on the pegs, go fast and take chances.

What a great start to the race season. The weather has actually cooperated, and we have had great turnout at our first couple of races.

What a great start to the motocross season. All the series have been well attended with exciting racing. With all the series hosting events at different tracks, the riders have a lot to choose

As most members know, we know offer a chance for our Open A and 250 A riders to make some money. This is a significant change from how we have operated in the past and should provide some great racing to watch.

MAMA would like to thank Stephen Stella and Dave Stella for helping put on a class for our riders. This was quickly put together after our class at our first race was canceled on us. Stephen and Dave stepped up to provide two short classes, one for our 50 riders and another for our new big bike riders. Thanks to you both for taking the time to come down, and thanks to Stephen for sharing your expertise.

Advancements are always a topic of interest.

We at MAMA are again adhering to AMA guidelines when it comes to advancement for our 125/250 riders. They will not be advanced during the year, but can do so voluntarily.

All other advancement classes will start to advance after a rider has completed six events in MAMA. An RPV of 15 or higher will be used to calculate whether you move from C to B or B to A. Please remember, riders are responsible for signing up in the correct class.

If you have any questions, please contact a referee at the track.

from.

As far as the MDRA Series, we are excited about the great racing to come, and we invite every racer to join us for the weekend. We offer practice on Saturday before each round, and we offer over $350,000 in cash prizes and contingencies. The MDRA gives away two $50 gas cards at each round and four free passes to race the next round at the riders meeting.

The promoters of the MDRA Series all work together to make your racing experience the best possible. Jeff Yentzer and I attend all of the MDRA races, so if you have a problem or questions, we are available to help.

The MDRA go to each track twice a

On the topic of advancements, we report our results weekly to AMA and ultimately AMA has an overall view of a rider’s performance during a given year. So, even though you may not ride six events at MAMA or six events in a particular district, you are still eligible for advancement if you have a combined six events ridden in a specific class. Please refer to AMA-Cycle.org for more information.

The day continued, and the racers marched on. Class after class left the gate and did their best to deal with the day’s conditions. Saturday night brought more heavy rain, and Sunday even offered up a hail storm with super sized rain drops. The mod divisions and some of the age groups would compete on Sunday as racers managed to lock in their positions for the regionals coming up later

Storm Sheckells grabbed the holeshot in Open C and never looked back.

The weekend of March 28 and 29, the Doublin Gap MX Park hosted an area qualifier in the Northeast for this year’s Amateur Motocross Nationals at Loretta Lynn’s. The weather man was in full control of this weekend’s event, and if he hit it just right, just this once, we were all going to be OK. The call was for sunny skies on Friday, partly cloudy on Saturday with rains overnight ending by late Sunday morning. Perfect right?

Anyhow, kids, if for some reason your motocross career doesn’t support you full time when you get older, I’d recommend looking at the field of meteorology. Hey, where else can you make

$60,000 a year and it’s OK to mess up all of the time? Now back to the motocross.

The turnout was great on Friday for the practice day coming into the weekend’s event. No rain in the forecast for Friday night, so the crew at Doublin left their track alone. However, there was heavy rain overnight, and to everyone’s delight Saturday’s race turned into a mud fest.

The track crew took the track down as far as they could, and we went racing. And it wasn’t terrible. After all, this was a qualifier for an amateur national, right? You should able to persevere in these types of conditions.

dropped on the Open C class. It was Baltimore’s Storm Sheckells taking his Kawasaki to a clean sweep in the big bore division. Next up we found the 250 A group on the line; the turnout was low for an expert division, but the racing was intense nonetheless. In both expert divisions on the day we saw two young men swap moto wins, with Broc Schmelyun winning the 450 group and Dylan Slusser taking the 250 win back to western PA. The motos continued with a full 250 B gate and two loaded 250 C gates, and then the racing got really good. The 85cc groups took off, and these kids put on a show that was unbelievable in both age groups. You would have never known that the track was slick, let alone muddy, the way these racers got around the track. In the (9-11) group, Alexander Frye pulled off a pass on Jacob Williamson, who traveled all the way from Michigan, that was phenomenal.

Heading up the back Kinsley Escalator, Frye pulled off the big double jump (that many full-size machines won’t do) on his 85cc machine to pass

Broome-Tioga Sports Center April 4-5, 2009

By Jim Sanderson and take the win. Dougherty holeshot the final 450 A/ Pro Sport moto and led the moto for four laps, eventually giving up the point position to McDade just before starting lap five. McDade took another win, with Dougherty finishing eight seconds back.

Dougherty’s 3-2 rides earned him the runner-up tier of the 450 A/Pro Sport podium.

Garrett Toth (2-4) completed the podium.

McDade, Berry Blast Broome-Tioga Season Opener Day 1: 2009 AMA/Air Nautiques Amateur National Motocross Championships at Loretta Lynn Area Qualifier Mother Nature dominated the hours leading up to and much of the day of the season opener at the Broome-Tioga Sports Center on Saturday, April 4. She threw in some variables that would have a definite effect on the day’s racing. Heavy rains fell for most of the day and evening prior to the event and continued into race day.

In addition to the rain, snow showers, temperatures in the upper 30s (but felt like the lower teens with the wind), and a wind advisory for potential gusts up to 40 miles per hour put riders in survival mode. Due to the extreme conditions, the race program was amended to a one-moto format.

Mitchell Dougherty (597) and Michael McDade (334) lead the start of the opening 450 A/Pro Sport moto at the Loretta Lynn Area Qualifier at the Broome-Tioga Sports Center on April 5th in Binghamton, New York.

first turn in the 250 A moto.

McDade quickly diced his way to the front and secured the point in the front rhythm section. Hacia and Emmi were displaced to second and third. Stancil and Chapman rounded out the top five.

The top three were already spreading out at the start of lap two, and the battle for fourth continued between Stancil and Chapman. McDade had

Michael Hacia (31) leads the start of the 250 A moto with a huge holeshot at the Loretta Lynn Area Qualifier at the Broome-Tioga Sports Center on April 4th in Binghamton, New York.

Honda pilot Michael McDade, from Raleigh, North Carolina, topped both the 250 and 450 A classes.

In the 250 A moto, McDade gated outside the top five off the start but had the point position secured after a quarter of a lap. McDade rode the rest of the eightlap moto uncontested for the win, taking the checkers ahead of Josh Emmi and Michael Sattile.

Michael Hacia, Emmi, Aaron Stancil, Jesse Deryke and Reed Chapman led the pack out of the switchback

an eight-second lead after two and a half laps. Emmi, in third, trailed Hacia by seven seconds, and Chapman was seven seconds off Emmi’s pace in fourth. McDade’s advantage had increased to 17 seconds by the start of lap four. The top three were unchanged, but fourth and fifth were now held by Kyle Willis and Jeffery Mort. Emmi made a mistake at the end of the lap that allowed Mort to push past and take third.

Just before the start of lap seven, Hacia went down.

Emmi inherited second and Michael Sattile third. Hacia

remounted fourth, relegating Willis to fifth. McDade took the checkered flag for the win with a plus 35-second lead.

Emmi, Sattile, Hacia and Willis completed the top five.

Robert Berry, another North Carolina resident, topped the podium of the extremely competitive 250 B Stock division. Berry gated third off the start and took the lead on lap two. He managed to hold off several riders in route to taking the win. Skyler Windhausen and Caleb Schachtler completed the rostrum.

Josh Cascia, Eavan Ellefsen, Berry, Windhausen and Jimmy Doolittle led the start of the 250 B Stock moto.

Brandon Smith held the point when the leaders exited the front rhythm section. Berry, Andrew Carlson, Larry McVay Jr. and Windhausen rounded out the top five.

Smith went down in the first turn just after starting lap two, and Berry inherited the lead.

Carlson and Windhausen advanced to second and third. McVay and Schachtler moved up to fourth and fifth.

Berry had a four-second lead by the start of lap three that Carlson reduced to only two at the start of lap four.

Berry couldn’t shake Carlson until lap six when he finally got some help from lapped traffic to increase his lead to five seconds and increased it to six at the checkers.

Windhausen, Schachtler, Carlson and Brandon Smith closed out the top five.

McDade and Dougherty Battle at Broome-Tioga Day 2: 2009 AMA/Air

Nautiques Amateur National Motocross Championships at Loretta Lynn Area Qualifier Michael McDade continued his winning ways on the second day of racing at the Loretta Lynn Area Qualifier at the Broome-Tioga Sports Center, but Mitchell Dougherty, a local pro who has been riding the BroomeTioga racecourse since he was a youngster, made McDade work for his wins.

McDade topped both the 250 and 450 A/Pro Sport divisions with perfect 1-1 results. McDade had to contend with Dougherty’s great starts in the 450 A/Pro Sport division. Dougherty led the start of both motos and led the opening moto until lap four when McDade made the pass to claim the lead

Dougherty and McDade led the start of the opening 450 A/Pro Sport moto, but when the leaders exited the front rhythm section, McDade was all the way back in sixth.

Dougherty, Jay Weller, Josh Emmi, Michael Hacia and Dave Costa were first through fifth. Dougherty had a threesecond lead by the start of lap two and was trailed by Weller, McDade, Emmi and Hacia. McDade closed the gap on Weller on the downhill triple at the end of lap two.

Hacia and Garrett Toth passed Emmi, taking fourth and fifth. McDade passed Weller for third in the front section and quickly began to close the gap on Dougherty.

Dougherty’s advantage was reduced to a measly three bike lengths at the start of lap four and by the start of lap five was less than a second.

McDade made the pass for the lead in the first turn.

Dougherty was relegated to second. Weller, Toth and Hacia rounded out the top

five. Toth closed the gap on Weller and made the pass for third at the start of lap six.

Toth continued his charge and caught Dougherty on the last lap, and the two drag-raced to the finish. McDade got the win with a seven second lead. Toth, Dougherty, Weller and Hacia completed the top five.

Dougherty, McDade, Weller and Emmi led the start of the final 450 A/Pro Sport moto. Dougherty exited the front rhythm section with a four-second lead.

Emmi, Hacia, Weller and Reed Chapman followed.

Dougherty increased his lead to six seconds at the start of lap two. McDade passed Chapman, taking fifth.

McDade moved from fifth to second in about a quarter of a lap. Weller, Emmi and Toth were now third through fifth.

McDade chipped away at Dougherty’s lead, reducing it by about two seconds a lap, and made the pass for the lead in the final corner of lap four. McDade quickly gapped Dougherty by three seconds that increased to eight seconds at the checkered flag. Dougherty, Weller, Toth and Hacia closed out the top five.

s Opener ambl9er HappyAprR il 4-5, 200 By JC Benson

The Happy Ramblers Motorcycle Club, located in Hanover, PA, hosted their opening round of 2009 under sunny skies the first weekend in April.

It was a busy weekend for racing, with events going on at six different facilities within our coverage area.

Needless to say, the faithful came out, and from all reports the racing action was intense, as usual.

J.C. Benson was on hand at the Saturday practice day providing the race images. If you’re looking for a great shot of yourself doing your thing, look up John at an event near you. John’s been out at the tracks for years, so I’m sure he’ll have something to please every taste.

You can also check the results here to see how your favorite racer finished.

Happy’s next event is a big one -- hosting Round # 4 of the MDRA Race Series the weekend of May 16 and 17, 2009. As usual, there will be a practice day on Saturday with racing on Sunday. Watch for Jim Bull at that event as well as coverage in MRA for an upcoming issue. We’ll see you then.

The 2009 District 6 Ultimate Quad Series kicked off once again at Evansville MX Park in Berwick, Pa. With a long season of

racing ahead, consistent finishes in the early rounds will make for a good charge for the series championship at the later rounds. Rains had drenched the track during the week, and the track crew was forced to cancel Saturday practice.

But Sunday was the total opposite. Beautiful blue skies and a cool breeze really helped the track to dry and made for a great day of racing. A 50cc track was made on the upper hill, where tight turns and challenging jumps pushed the talent of the little guys to the max. As for the motocross track, bombing the big downhill jump and

the bigger jumps. After a few practices had run, decent lines formed, and riders really started to let it all hang out. We had a lot of new faces in the Pro-

class from just one class to three. The win for +25 went to Trevor Warner from Pine Grove; the #72 of Carl Wolter took the +30 overall; and the +40 class win went to Chris Scaletti. Kale Witmer on his new Pine Grove Yamaha back YFZ450R powered him to take both moto wins in the School Boy class.

William Keefer really had to charge hard for his 1-1 moto wins over Tyler Small and Jeremiah Keck in the C class.

The youth classes really

had their hands full with Evansville’s huge elevation changes. Making it look easy was Travis Wotring, going 1-1 in the 70 and 90cc Prod. CVT class, but showing his off-season training had paid off was the 95y out of Delta, Pa, Tyler Young, really pinning the throttle on the hills taking the overall by going 2-1. Continuing his winning ways from a dominating performance at Motorama was Dylan Tremellen in the 91-200 2str/91-300

4str class, going 1-1 and showing that he is the person to beat this year.

Next stop on the schedule is Dutchman MX Park, in Pine Grove, Pa., on the weekend of April 25 and 26.

The front-runners from this race have a great start to the season and are looking to continue it at the second round of the 2009 District 6 Ultimate Quad Series.

Keep the throttle pinned!

your respective class.

Sunday morning was a bit muddy in some places and made for a sketchy practice, with some not being able to hit some of

Am and A classes, with Austin Murphy and Joseph Masta making the jump directly out of the C class.

Returning 2008 champions Christopher Walls and Trevor Borger were going to show these rookies how fast the elite classes are. Pro-Am Moto 1 win went to Austin Murphy, but a surprising second was Jesse Sheaffer coming from a mid-pack start. Sheaffer on his Lost Creek Cycle Suzuki is making a return to racing after a taking a few years’ hiatus. Moto 2 was not too kind to him with a 14thplace finish and a 7th-place overall. Trevor Borger and Christopher Walls rounded out the podium. Borger would have his revenge in the A class, edging out Murphy by winning the second moto.

Last year’s C class champ Brent Wertman moved into the B class for ’09 and had a decent start to the year, going 3-5 for 4th overall.

Taking the win was Larry Krowicki on the 708 Honda.

Robert McGhee went 1-3, and Landon Herbst 5-1 for a 3rd overall. New this year was the split-up of the Vet

Round #1 - April 4-5, 2009

By Jim Bull Photo.com The first weekend in April was a monumental time for motocross racing in our neck of the woods. The D6 Ultimate MX Series saw over 800 riders attend Pagoda for the opening round of their series.

It’s the largest turnout for an opener that I can remember in the eight years that I have been covering races here in the region. In addition to that, there was a LLQ at Broome; a Mama race at Seaford with over 500 in attendance; both Happy Ramblers and Tomahawk had events with over 500 racers between the two; and out west the PAMX saw a crowd of over 400 racers. Add that up, and all I can say is “What recession?”

It’s great news for our sport,

Vet A off the gate. Carsten (31) wins five age class motos on the day with Pamart being his only challenger.

move through the region; however, they worked hard and got everything in shape for the weekend’s festivities.

It all started Saturday with

Pine Grove Yamaha’s Casey Clark returns to racing to beat 32 Open A riders to the checkers.

and I hope that things continue in this direction.

It was a big weekend at Pagoda with so many racers in attendance. Just days prior to the event, the track crew had a huge rain storm

a practice day for the many racers that came in early.

Sunday awoke to bright skies and the droves of people that descended on the facility.

The pits were lined with vendors that support the

Brandon Hartranft races to the win in 85cc (9-11).

series, and in every nook and cranny you could find a racer pitted waiting for the start of the day.

The crowd was so large that 28 motos were scheduled for the day, with qualifiers in both the novice and amateur divisions. Ninety-eight 250 C guys showed up as well as 33 Open A riders. Some of the best racing of the day came in the 250 B qualifiers, and if this is any indication of the talent in the area, I wouldn’t be surprised to see qualifiers in the expert divisions come next spring. Well, one can only hope.

The Supermini group started off the day, and again the talent ran so deep it was anybody’s guess who would come out on top.

AMS’s Kameron Page would end up with the overall after battling with the likes of Jarek Balkovic, Michael Pettit and Tyler Connor. Next up came the Senior group, and I know we talk about this guy a lot, but every year Barry Carsten shows up ready to duke it out, no matter if racing locally or chasing the National scene. I know I call him the Iron Man a lot, but I think I’m just going to start calling him Mister Smooth. Carsten won five motos on the day against some guys that have been winning races for years; Greg Pamart would be the only guy on the day able to get a win ahead of Barry. He just goes out there and gets the job done.

In amateur racing action, we had Sherby, Peters, Renzland, Klaptosky, Webber, Yingling, and I could go almost top 15 deep with guys that win on a regular basis. On this day, Tony Archer would handle them all in the 250 B division, with Frank Lettieri Jr. coming

out on top in Open B. To be honest with you, I don’t believe there was a class that didn’t have intense racing action all day long. Check out the top 10 finishers here from each division and log on to Pagoda’s website at www. pagodamotorcycleclub.com to see the rest. We certainly don’t have room here for all.

By: Delmarva Sports Photography.com

DMP hosted the second MAMA race of the season April 4 and 5 in Seaford, Del. Saturday started with an open round of practice, followed by the usual Saturday classes of Senior, Super Senior, College Boy 14-24, School Boy 12-16 and Women. Another round of practice was followed by Senior Open and Support.

The decision was made to postpone the rest of the motos until Sunday morning to allow emergency workers to safely remove an injured rider.

Sunday promised to be a great day, with Saturday’s delayed motos starting off the morning and the report that the injured rider was fine. With clear skies and temperatures predicted to be in the mid 60s, 525 riders signed up to race in 28 classes held in 18 motos. Some of the top riders of the day were #343 Stephen Stella, who took all four wins in 250A and Open A; Charles Vane, who took all four in 250C Div, II and Open C; and Amanda Brown, who won all motos in the Women’s class and in Mini Women Open.

Scott Clark made a run of all races in School Boy, both 1216 and 14-16 4-Stroke, while Coty Schock took everything in Jr. Mini and 80A 9-11.

As the temperatures hovered in the mid-60s as promised, it was a great spring day for racing. Riders taking home both wins in one class were Keith Rose in 250B; Taylor Vanvorst, Mini Women Support; Claude Willitt Jr., Super Senior Open; Tyler Wozney, Open B; Zachary Miller, College Boy

Round # 1 - Dutch

April 5, 2009 - By Megan Ego

Round one of the PA state series was at Dutchman MX Park in Pine Grove. There was a huge turnout for the event; over 400 racers came out. But the biggest story of the day was the new transponder scoring system. This is an exciting new addition to District 6. Registration went very smoothly, and everyone’s patience was highly appreciated. There were some unexpected problems with the results, but as with all new things, there are bound to be problems the first time around. Since there was a problem with the results, awards were not given out. The winners will be announced at a future date.

A few things everyone needs to keep in mind with the new scoring system: 1. Your transponder has to be mounted horizontally (west to east), preferably on the front of the racer’s chest protector.

2. The transponder cannot be touching ANY metal, the slightest bit of metal will cause the transponder not to read.

3. All racers need to go SLOW when going through the scoring section. This is extremely important; there were a lot of racers flying through the scoring area, and this can cause your transponder to

not be read. You are not going to win the race at the barrels! Take your time going through there, and make sure that you have registered. If you go flying through there, you will not get counted for that lap! There is no passing through scoring, so you’re not going anywhere.

4. All racers need to have a District 6 transponder; you cannot use any other transponder that you have.

5. It is the racer’s responsibility to make sure they are being read going through scoring.

If everyone follows these rules, scoring will go beautifully!

Besides all this technological stuff, it was an awesome day to race! The weather was great, and the track was even better for the first race of the year.

There were only a few minor changes to the track from last year, but a lot of the racers said the track was the best it’s ever been. All the racers seemed to be happy to be back out on the track doing what they love.

By Jim Sanderson Loud Liquid Thomas Telling at Hurricane Opener Bel-Ray Day Hurricane Hills, in its 27th year of operation, opened the 2009 season on Saturday, April 11, with its first Bel-Ray Day. A bounty of Bel-Ray products was awarded to the winners of their respective classes. Holeshot prizes were also awarded to the riders who got the

looked back. Loud took another win and made it look relatively easy, finishing six seconds ahead of Doug Miller. Miller’s consistent 2-2 rides earned him the runner-up tier, and Austin Toomey completed the podium with a 3-3 tally.

Loud, Zac Zopp, Toomey, Miller and Gary Smith led the pack out of the second turn in the first Open C moto. Loud quickly pulled away, starting

Schae Thomas (2t) topped the podium of the Mid Mini 9-13 division with a perfect 1-1 score at the season opener at Hurricane Hills on April 11.

best starts.

Mother Nature semicooperated and watered the racecourse for most of the afternoon and evening prior to the event. Hurricane’s track crew did an excellent job preparing the track, and the course was in unexpectedly good shape come race time. The track was uncharacteristically smooth for the season opener and developed very few ruts over the course of the day. Race day weather, on the other hand, did not quite add up to what the weatherman had predicted. The day began with a heavy cloud cover and a very brisk wind that eventually gave way to sunshine and warmer temperatures, but it wasn’t until the late in the program.

Yamaha pilot Tyler Loud topped the podium of the Open C division with a perfect 1-1 score. Loud led the start of the opening Open C moto and rode uncontested to take the first moto win with a 14-second lead. In the final moto, Loud gated second off the start but maneuvered his way into the lead by the third turn and never

the second lap with a foursecond lead that he increased to eight seconds by the start of lap three. Miller made multiple passes on lap two that moved him from fourth to second, relegating Zopp to third and Toomey to fourth. Smith held fifth. Toomey battled Zopp for third for most of lap three, finally making the pass at the entrance to the rhythm section just prior to the start of lap four. Loud took the white flag with a 12-second lead that increased to 14 at the checkered flag. Miller, Toomey, Mitchell Hildebrand and Zopp completed the top five.

Miller led the start of the final Open C moto just ahead of Loud and Toomey. Loud quickly got by Miller to secure the point in the third turn. Miller was displaced to second. Toomey, Zopp and Lenny Hargrave rounded out the top five. Miller picked up his pace from the first moto and kept Loud within striking distance. Loud started lap two only three seconds ahead of Miller. Toomey trailed Miller by three seconds.

Hildebrand moved up to secure fourth and was six seconds off

Toomey’s pace. Smith moved up to take fifth before the end of lap two. The top five were established by the start of lap three and remained unchanged at the checkers. Loud got another win but only had a sixsecond advantage at the finish.

Miller, Toomey, Hildebrand and Smith completed the top five.

Longtime Suzuki pilot Schae Thomas’s performance in the Mid Mini 9-13 division tells a story of a success. Thomas continues to out-perform his competitors with consistency.

Thomas rode to a perfect 1-1, topping the Mid Mini podium.

Daniel Dillin took the next tier on the box with a consistent 2-2, and Dan Colachino completed the rostrum with a 3-3 score.

Dillin, Justin Yedinak, Thomas, Colachino and Kayla Boorom led the start of the opening Mid Mini moto.

Thomas quickly diced his way into the lead by the start of lap two. Dillin was relegated to second. Colachino passed Yedinak, taking third. Yedinak was displaced to fourth, and Boorom was all alone in fifth.

The top five were all spread out by the start of lap three and remained unchanged at the checkered flag. Thomas got the win with a nine-second lead, followed by Dillin, Colachino, Yedinak and Boorom.

The start of the final Mid Mini moto was almost a virtual repeat of the first. Dillin, Colachino, Thomas, Yedinak and Boorom led the pack out of the second turn. Thomas quickly got by Colachino and Dillin to take the point in the corner preceding the front tabletop. Dillin and Colachino were relegated to second and third. Yedinak and Boorom rounded out the top five. Once again, the lead riders were all spread out after only two and a half laps, and the rest of the moto was a snoozer that resulted in a finish order that was an exact repeat of the first.

Thomas got another win, this time with a 12-second lead. Dillin, Colachino, Yedinak and Boorom rounded out the top five.

SMDRA - Round # 3 - April

By JD Photo.com Budds Creek Motocross Park Hosted Round 3 of the District 7 Gold Series sponsored by Southern Maryland Dirt Riders Association. Despite there being Loretta Lynn Qualifiers at Tomahawk and MX338, riders still showed up in full force to ride the famed track at Budds Creek. The weather was warm after an early morning chill, and even though there were some clouds in the sky and a call for rain, the moisture stayed away to allow for a dry wrapup to the 17 motos on the day.

Atlantic Power and Cycle along with CNC Aviation provided holeshot awards to the Open A , Quad A, 250 C, and Vet B classes. Moto tokens were also up for grabs for the 65 10-11, Schoolboy 12-16, Open C, Quad B, and Quad 50 6-8 classes. The K N I Racing Baddog was out and about and dropped the two-minute board for the mini classes. Hopefully you were able to see Randel Stone and William Speleos aboard their vintage Suzukis. Those bikes may be vintage, but they can still manage their own. Speleos, on his 1977

The 2009 Ultimate MX Series Round #2 is done and in the books. With some 455 entries and beautiful weather, a racer could not have asked for much more. The chance of showers called for on Sunday never came.

With names like Spangler, Cook, Clark, Clites, Yentzer, Pamart, Wallace, Page, Conner and many more, the classes were stacked and very tough from the 50cc to the Senior A divisions. The Vet classes looked like the 1990s nationals part two.

A constant 6 to 10 wellaccomplished guys that earned many national numbers were racing yet

again this week, and they are all still very quick.

Carsten may have put in the ride of his life. After a huge get-off on a double - double that only he and Daniel Holton even tried to quad, Barry got up and rode a badly bent up RMZ450 back to a top three finish in the 35+ A class. Barry said later on that he will be sore come Monday morning.

The weekend was a good one. The Ultimate Series is a great series with some really great series sponsors, families, racers and tracks.

The next one is at DMX in early May. Hope to see you all there.

Last year, Tomahawk saw the likes of now pro racer PJ Larsen, Justin Barcia and Malcolm Stewart. This year showed a bigger local crowd but still saw Honda of Houston Racing rider #66 Victoria Pearce, Honda of Lafayette rider #651 Jeremy Domingue, and the farthest travelers thus far, #16 Tristan and #44 Cody Charboneau of Tenino, WA. It is always a racer’s wish to start their day off with blue skies, highs in the upper 70s and zero chance of precipitation. There must have been a lot of wishing going on because that is exactly how Saturday began.

Fifty-two competitive riders started off the 250 B stock class, outnumbering the usually large 250 C class.

Will Bleich and Tyler Webber

rode consistently fast, but it was Michael Mims to take

of the day. Victoria Pearce (#66) from New Port Richey,

51cc 4-6 stock rider Austin Johnson of Mantua, OH, went for a clean sweep 1-1. The 450 A class grew in size, with 24 riders from newly turned A riders; however, it still was not as stacked nor as big as the 49 racers at Muddy Creek’s LLQ! The afternoon wrapped up with sweat, suntans and smiles, as the day could not have been more rewarding.

Sunday Weather reports were all over the place forecasting rain and showers all day anywhere from a 0% to a 70% chance by 4 p.m., but it held off in tolerable fashion for the day. Starting out breezy

Everybody wants to go to Loretta’s.

the overall win for the 250 B stock. Moto two saw a terrible pileup just around the first turn, which had Zach Dixon wedged in between Max Stevey’s plastics, exhaust and the rear wheel in what was one of the most painful looking and bizarre crashes

Dixon and Stevey get caught up in a nasty first turn pileup.

FL, who won the overall at last year’s Winter Mini Olympics in the girls 9-15 class, dominated the girls 11-15 class going 1-1. Suzuki pilot #104 and Martinsburg Motorsport’s own Kelly Snider put on an impressive battle with #850 Rowland Papp on a KTM in the 85cc 12-13 class. Snider looked to take the win until the two polished plastics in the sweeper, going 2-2-2 and Rowland 1-1-1. But it was Josh Corbin that had every Super Mini parent on edge with an impressive first finish in moto one.

As the afternoon charged on, the track dried out for some fairly flat and dusty conditions, only to be saved by time-consuming grooming and watering.

Jeremy Domingue rocked the 450 B class all weekend for both overall wins, even faring very well in the stacked 4 stroke class on Sunday.

Patrick Wastler races to a second in 250 A Pro Sport.

and overcast, the track was in mint and wetter conditions, shaping up nice for the first few practices, but it became extremely rutted for the first half of the motos. The first set of qualifiers were over before 1 p.m., allowing ample time for proficient grooming and preparation, which helped pull the track back together for the second round of motos. Jacob Belotti had the Kawasaki rolling in 450 C for a 1-1. Randy Salamon (#947) was cleaning up in Vet B/C 30 plus. The second round led to some of the fastest riding Tomahawk MX has seen and a notable battle between newly turned A #231 Garret Toth and longtime A #587 Dustin Kendall until both suffered mistakes

and a flat tire, allowing #95 Shane Durham the chance to capitalize on the win. It was great to see track owner Chad Gochenour on the bike as he raced in the Junior 25 plus class sporting letter X, taking an overall fifth.

Tomahawk is a great place to be if you like your days short! Another moto, another race and a finalized LLQ was over, pushing closer to the Big Show. A complete program was over in a timely (by 5 p.m.!) and safe manner, getting everyone home in time for grilling and chilling!

Please be sure to check out all the results at www. mxsports.com and view event photos at www.ashleyboyan. smugmug.com.

Shane Durham wins both 450 A and 450A/Pro Sport.

the motorcycle as soon as possible. A day after the accident, Ryan’s dad asked Ryan if there was anything he needed while he was in the hospital, and although he struggled to say it with his severe stomach pain, he mumbled, “A new 450f race bike.” Steve knew his son was hooked on racing, and there

Ryan Connelly Never Giving Up!

NO ONE ELSE COMPARES TO WHAT WE DO!

“I noticed Ryan a long time ago, and I have kinda taken him under my wing ever since. He is a good listener, and I think he finally shook 90% of the fear from his accident away from him.

When he shakes away that other 10%, he is going to be even better, and that won’t be good for his competition.

Ryan Connelly (57) leads a group of racers at the BCTRA Flat Track Series opener.

at Penn Manor High School is that Ryan competes in the extreme sport of AMA Flat Track Motorcycle Racing.

was nothing that would slow him down from continuing his goal.

Ryan competes at the top level of amateur motorcycle racing around the country.

Competing yearly in states such as Florida, Illinois, New York, Maryland and more, he strives to become an AMA Amateur National Champion in his near future before making the jump to the prosport level in either 2010 or 2011.

The doctors didn’t think Ryan would ever be able to race again, and a year later, in the 2008 season, Ryan won his first ever District 6 Championship on his KTM 125. A bonus to the season was finishing third overall in the nation at the Amateur Nationals in Duquoin, Illinois.

Ryan will travel to Duquoin again this year and will be in quest for his first ever Amateur National title.

In 2007, while racing at a local track called Piston Poppers off of Route 30 in Parkesburg, PA, Ryan’s Kawasaki 250 broke in half while traveling about 6070mph over a jump. Ryan was rushed to Lancaster General Hospital, where emergency surgery was in order to repair a ripped small intestine, and a second surgery was needed two months later to remove scar tissue that was building.

Ryan spent over a week in the hospital, unable to eat, with countless tubes in him.

While Ryan’s parents, Steve and Kim, were starting to think of other ways to spend their weekends, Ryan knew he wanted to get back on

Although most kids Ryan’s age are attending school dances and going to the movie theater on Friday nights, Ryan is usually in bed early to secure a good night’s sleep before a long day of training or racing over the weekend.

Many people around the county have noticed Ryan and his talent to become a champion, and he has many supporters who have heard his story and seek to offer help. Ryan rides two to three times a week with one of the East Coast’s top professional racers, Cory Texter, at the Texter Riding Compound located in Lampeter, PA.

He comes over and trains with me a few times a week, and I am really excited to see where he stands this year against some of the best in the amateur business,” said Cory Texter.

Ryan has strong goals for 2009. He competed in Florida at the Winter Nationals in March and had a few podium finishes to his name. He will be competing in the 250 and 450 classes and wants to win his first AMA National Championship and also secure championships in District 6 in both classes.

The Connelly family has overcome a lot of adversity over the last few years, and they would like to thank the supporters who have helped them along the way: The Spa & Pool Place, Lancaster Harley-Davidson, Grandma and Pap, The Texter Family, Don’s Kawasaki, B&B Yamaha, Merlin Industries, FMF, Twin Air, and Vortex.

Come see Ryan and the rest of the AMA Flat Trackers July 11th at the Lampeter Fire Company Fairgrounds and also on May 25th and Sept.

26th on the fast York, PA, half-mile track.
