450A had a nearly full gate.

Huge turnout at Tigerton Tigerton, Wisconsin - May 1-2 By Pete Emme

ver 625 entries were on hand over the two full days of racing at the MotoZone in Tigerton, Wisconsin for the Loretta Lynn/ Ponca City Qualifier, as well as the opening round of the revitalized Northern Cup Motocross Series. A little over 200 entries were on hand for Saturday’s events which featured many of the youth classes, and then over 400 entries were in attendance for Sunday’s big event which included Yamaha and Kawasaki Contingencies were available as well as AMSOil and Fly Racing rewards. Near perfect weather was available as temps breezed in the 60’s and 70’s much of the weekend, but the wind showed us who was boss in the end. Racing at Tigerton has been some of the best I’ve seen in its short existence in District 16. The Qualifier brought out some great talent. 450A/Pro Sport had thirty entries and the 250B Modified class had to have a qualifier to cut the field down to 38 gates for the final which was one of the best races of the weekend. The racing was great. Saturday’s event included an Ironman race which was 30 minutes in length plus two laps. I had a chance to race the one moto event once again and I had a blast. I was the last person down to the gate as there were 24 other competitors already on the line when Yamaha rider Dylan Koth shouted out, “Hey Pete, this is the Ironman Race, not the Old Man Race.” Gee thanks Dylan! Either way, he got me on that one. Myself and other fellow “old man” Tom Dretzka were the only old men out there giving it a whirl. It was fun indeed and some great track time but former Arenacross Champ Chad Johnson was lapping me every seven minutes. Chad Johnson, yeah right. I guess for him, it was just another training day as his laps were never more than three seconds apart from each other. 2

CYCLE USA, June 2010

There was racing throughout the day that included Kody Kamm going 1-2 for the overall in 250A. Vaughn Mays snuck in for the second moto win but he had gone 8-1 for 3rd overall. CJ Greaves had the track dialed in while he went 1-1 in the 250B Stock class. Chad Johnson rode a KTM 450 while winning in the 450A class. Loretta Lynn hopeful Chase Sexton out of Illinois won the 65cc 1011 Stock class and followed it up in the 85cc 9-11 Stock as he took 3 out of 4 motos. On Sunday, the action got hot and heavy. Chase Sexton holeshot the 65cc 7-11 Mod class just ahead of the KTM of Hunter Sayles. Sexton moved out to a comfortable three second lead for the first moto win ahead of Sayles and Tanner Chada. “Yesterday I had lined up on the inside line and I took the same gate every time so I pretty much got the 65 starts dialed. I’m still working on the 80s though,” said Sexton. “I didn’t feel that much pressure behind me in the 65cc class, I just rode my own race and doing what I do.” The second moto had Sexton getting the holeshot once again from the inside. Sayles was behind him but had fallen in the sand allowing the Cobra rider to move way out front. Sayles worked his way back into the second. In the 125Jr 12-16 division, the Yamaha of Minnesota rider Brady Rhode captured the holeshot over seventeen other riders. Adam Reek was right on the heels of Rhode for the whole race but Reek got held up through some of the kickers allowing Rhode to ride ahead. Towards the end of the moto, a medic flag was out and Rhode got docked a few positions while in the lead putting him back to the fourth spot. A huge blow to the young kid from Loretto, MN as he rode a great race. Reek, who was in second the entire race, was awarded the win in the first moto. “I lined up on the inside and I got second on the start behind #168 (Rhode) and I was fighting and fighting and I just couldn’t make

a pass and then the medic flag came out over the big jump and I kept slowing down and unfortunately others kept racing and they were docked a few positions so I got the win,” said Reek. Tylor Skodras pulled the holeshot in the second moto followed by Reek. Rhode was in the fifth spot but soon moved into third while Reek got the lead over the big spectator jump, eventually taking the second moto win. Reek went 1-1, Skodras put in consistent scores of 2-2 for second as Colin Hass, Rhode and Jacob Vaness rounded out the top five. In 450B action, it was Clarion Chapiewski getting the holeshot just ahead of Cody Vanbuskirk. Joshua Philbrick quickly got into the mix. Chapiewski fell back a little and then battled with Tyler Allen for third, leaving the lead to Philbrick and Vanbuskirk to duke it out for the remaining laps. Vanbuskirk made a move in the sand rollers and came out flying through the sweeper to take the lead over a surprised Philbrick. Meanwhile Allen hit the ground allowing Chapiewski to move ahead in third. Vanbuskirk pushed hard the final lap to stay ahead of Philbrick and eventually took the win. CJ Greaves ended up in fourth and Zack Masch took home fifth. “I got a really good jump off the line and held it tight in the first corner and then I was going as fast as I could pushing Philbrick. I was only a second or two behind him the whole race and then I kind of tripled in the sand section and took his line away and I tried not to make any mistakes,” said Vanbuskirk. “In the beginning, I wasn’t sure on how I’d do, because I was way on the far inside but I got a good jump. I made a pretty aggressive move and started to pull away and then Vanbuskirk was riding really well and I didn’t want to crash and I figured when I got passed, I might get him the second moto,” said Philbrick. Clarion Chapiewski got the second moto

There was some lopsided scores when the tallies were done but none had more consistent scores than Ramsey, Minnesota’s Clarion Chapiewski. Chapiewski jumped ahead in the final moto getting the holeshot ahead of Dillon Kau and Zack Masch. Chapiewski moved into a nice lead with Masch settling into the runner-up spot. Lukas Cobian started to make some ground on the second lap moving within striking distance on Masch. Brady Rhode and CJ Greaves battled it out for a lap or two before Rhode shut the door.

From the Back of the Pack By Mike Quinn, D23 Chairman Our season has started strong this year, and it certainly makes a difference when the weather cooperates. Having mostly nice weekends for our motocross races and all three Hare Scrambles have had great weather so far. You always know it is spring and the season is underway when the Theilman Trailride is held. I have written about this event in the past to describe how much fun it is. This year my son, daughter-in-law and myself rolled in on Saturday to check it out. I could not believe how crowded the assembly area was by 10am. It took some scouting around to find a spot to part our truck. The nice thing about this event is that I saw young children learning to ride all over the camping area. With youth numbers dropping some in MX there was no shortage of youth riders at the trail ride. The main reason for writing about the trailride is that it is the perfect opportunity to introduce new riders to the sport. I was absolutely amazed at the number of new riders there this year. We saw many groups go out with new riders, both children and adults, mostly moms. It was a classic example of what the sport of riding has to offer. In a time when doing things as a family can be difficult we offer the one sport that includes the entire family if they so choose. No other sport I know of can offer the family together time that we do. As we move into the future there will be new challenges and more forces arrayed against us. In order to keep growing and surviving each of us needs to find some new blood to bring into the sport. If every member were to find one more person that they could get to start riding and going to events we could almost double our number of memberships. We all need to find a new rider to bring to the events with us. We have a great thing going as you all know. However we do a very poor job of selling the sport. My challenge to all of our members is to find a friend they can bring to events and get interested in the sport. My daughter-in-law started this year at Theilman and she loved it. She loved everything about it. The slogan “we just want to ride” is so true. Those kids are amazing

they can ride all day, go through several tanks of gas and never get tired. Unlike some of us fossils that come in after a loop and need a nap to re-energize for the next loop. I do think my son was trying for his inheritance early this year and he totally rode me into the ground on our last loop. I did everything I could and then some to keep up with him but it would only last for about 5 or 6 corners and he was out of sight again. With out going into too much detail I will encourage all of you out there to ride one of these trail rides. There are several of them on our schedule and they take you back to the reason you started riding FUN. No racing, no timing, no pressure, just absolute perfect fun. I did not see a person there that wasn’t having a blast. Whether is bench racing with old buddies, talking about the best way to ride different sections of the loops or just soaking up the sun and beautiful weather it defines what riding is about. As always the Golden Eagles Cycle Club did a masterful job of mixing hard and easy and providing easy trails back to the start area for those beginners or those on quads. I want to thank them for working so diligently with the MN DNR to secure this area for events, and for the positive image they have projected for us. They have worked very hard to build a good working relationship with the DNR including donating much of the income from the ride to the DNR for improvements to the Zumbro Bottoms recreation area. Most of us have a tendency to forget just how much time and effort it

takes on the part of clubs to secure land and work with the different agencies that oversee the land we ride our events on. All of our Off Road events are held only after many hours of negotiating and working with state and county officials. Thanks to all of you out there that spend so much time making a weekend such as this past one possible. It was great to see so many of my moto buddies there. I saw guys that haven’t raced in several years but they were out there hitting the trails and having a great time. There were reportedly over 500 entries by noon on Saturday. Those are good numbers by anyone’s standards. There isn’t much district business to report from the last board meeting. We are still looking for some marketing types to work on building membership and sponsorship. If you know any college students that need a business internship or project send them to our web site. Unfortunately we don’t have any marketing gurus on the board. And please feel free to send in any ideas you have on increasing our visibility. There was some question as to the classification of some racers and the final decision was bumped to the AMA. We are working on a grant to get some of our members certified as off-road instructors so we can start our learning to ride programs at our facilities.

Other than that not a lot going on right now. One upside to a bad economy is that we slide further down the priority list for the eco freaks. Lets hope the legislature remains somewhat quiet for the rest of the year. See you on the tracks and trails of Minnesota. FCA MX camp returns again this summer. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) is the largest Christian sports organization in America. Since 1954 the FCA has been giving like minded athletes a chance to share their faith and talent.

D16 Dirt Track Season Opens

Lake Mills, Wisconsin - May 15 By Hannah Lange

he 2010 Dirt Track season kicked off at Aztalan Cycle Club Saturday May 15. Beautiful weather played a big part at keeping the track in good condition to race. Towards the end of the night, moisture set into the track causing some difficulties, but it was still a great way to start the season. The Youth Quads were the first out on the track this season. They were so excited to get the race season started, they had a few jumpers. The holeshot was pulled by Tyler Schrimpf with Mitchell Bignell running in second. Battling it out for the third place spot

was Spencer Beek and Tyler Allen. They ran a very close race until the finish line, where it was close, but Beek had to settle for fourth behind Allen. Next up was the Classics. These old bikes are interesting to watch, with no brakes or suspension. Into turn one they went, and with the holeshot was Robert Smith just ahead of William Berger. Going side by side through turns three and four, Berger finally got past Smith for the lead. Once Berger got by, William Ferguson now battled it out for the second place spot with Smith. Winning the battle was Ferguson. As the last few laps drew near, Smith and Sullivan fought for the third. Coming out in the end was Berger, Ferguson, Smith holding on to third with Sullivan fourth. The Open class brought many riders to the line. With the number of entries, they had to run a semi before the main. Taking the holeshot was Dustin Cassidy, walking away with the lead. A hard fought battle between Morgen Mischler and Rob Treinen continued through the entire race. Treinen tried to pass Mischler one last time at the finish line, but just came up a little short.

Robins wins four at Hangtime Akron, Indiana - May 8 By Becky Stichter

t was another rainy Saturday morning, and we were at home trying to decide if we wanted to go racing. My son had been up since 6:00 a.m. begging to go. After carrying on for two hours he finally said, "Look, we live in Indiana. It rains ALL the time. If you wait for a nice day, I'll never get to race again!" He made a good point. Why not race if it's wet and muddy? After all, this is motocross. Riders need to adapt to different conditions, so some time 85cc riders #49 Elijah Labordus and Nicholas Craig. on a wet track might be a pressuring hard. In the third lap in the 50cc (4-6) class Preston good thing. So, it was raining Parmley was finally able to make Barngrover opened the gas on his when we left, but when we arhis move and get around BarnCobra and took the holeshot in rived in Akron, it wasn't.

There were a few times when it looked like Barngrover was going to get around, but Parmley wouldn't let it happen. Parmley rode strong to the checkered flag, taking the win and overall as well. The 65cc Seniors and Juniors ran together today, and as you would expect, good battles that developed the mixed class riders. In the first moto, on a KTM, Jr rider Justin Stichter blasted out of the gates to take the holeshot. A bike length behind was senior rider Daemien Vaughn. Throughout the entire moto Vaughn was pressuring Stichter. Vaughn was going into the corners harder than Stichter and a couple of times it looked like he was going to come out with the lead. Just then, Stichter would throttle it up and hold onto his lead. There was no room for error. Stichter held on and won that moto. Behind the leaders, Trenton Hobbs and Evan Faucett were having their own battle. Hobbs had gotten out of the gates faster than Faucett. Hobbs rode a solid #10 Justin Stichter and Daemien Vaughn fight for the 65cc class lead. 8 CYCLE USA, June 2010

race and was able to hold Faucett off. This placed Hobbs in third overall, and in second for the Sr class. In the second moto, the battle between Stichter and Vaughn ran pretty much like the first. Stichter got out of the gates to lead the pack. Vaughn pressured him the entire time. Going into the last turn before the finish line Vaughn was still pushing hard and looked like he was going to steal the win. Stichter was only a half bike length ahead when he crossed the finish line. Faucett turned things around in this moto. He got the better start and came out as third overall. Despite a good effort from Hobbs, he wasn't able to get around Faucett. This placed Faucett in second for the Jr class, and Hobbs second in Sr. In the 85Sr class Nicholas Craig and Elijah Labordus battled all day. In the first moto Labordus, riding a Suzuki, got out of the gate first to lead the class. Right on his rear tire was Honda rider, Craig. Labordus was able to shut Craig out until the fourth lap, where Craig found a spot to make his move and pass Labordus and then go on to take the win. In the second moto Craig came out as the leader, with Labordus following. Labordus pressured Craig the entire moto,

It Craig again crossed the finish would have been interesting to line first. see how things would have run In the 125cc 2 stroke class with more in the class, but it is a Dakota Robins took the early lead, running 1-1. Tanner Hobbs was back in action after recovering from a clavicle injury. At different points in both motos Hobbs got some pressure from Derek Landry. There were times when they were running nearly side by side. Hobbs was able to hold Landry off, and go 2-2. Robins had another good day of riding. He went 1-1 in all four races that he competed in. He won in; 125cc 2-stroke, Schoolboy 2, 14-24, and Supermini. He is a strong rider and just makes it all look so easy. There were two competitors in the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 85-250cc class. Suzuki rider Angelique Rees and Tiffany Stewart on a Yamaha. Rees went #96 Derek Landry and Tanner Hobbs.

safe bet these two would have been up front either way. There were two new riders in the Mini Quad Jr. class today. Eight year-old Taylor Hamman and four year-old Bodie Derrer. Today was Hammanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth race. She is already showing improvement. Derrer came out on his sparkling white DRR to run his very first race. He was a little intimidated by the track the first time around. After the first moto I asked him if he liked it and he said, "yes". I asked if he was going to go out for the second moto and he smiled and said "yes." He had more confidence the second time around and did a great job. Taylor and Bodie, welcome to racing. We are glad to have you here!! So the Saturday morning races were done on a great track and no rain. Remember, this is Indiana, so it did rain during the evening races. The track got a little muddy and slick, but it was just good experience for those who rode.

professional license. Day two brought more riders than the previous day, making for an even better day of racing action. The first moto of the day had 250A Pro Sport lining up a full gate of 40 riders. As an added twist for the Pro Am event, the Sunset crew tacked on a gnarly section for the A riders only, consisting of a deep sand straightaway followed by a more technical triple-triple section that connected back to the normal track after the first corner. The Yamaha of Dalton Foerster captured the holeshot in moto one, quickly dropping back positions to Spangler and Travis Sewell. Sewell didn’t give up on Spangler, riding all over Spangler’s back wheel for most of the race. Jacob Hayes and Gregory Durivage both wide open hit the finish line jump side by side and Hayes railed the outside after landing to get past Durivage for third. Jonathan Six got a bad start but each lap reeled in a few riders, eventually going outside on Durivage for fourth. On the final lap, Spangler went down, allowing Sewell to cruise into the lead. Spangler got up and managed to keep his second position. Unfortunately, due to jumping on a yellow flag, Six was docked two positions from his fourth place finish, giving him a sixth. Hayes took third, Durivage and Mays wrapped up the top five. In moto tow, Texas rider Rusty Potter jetted off the line but Six immediately got out front followed closely by Lowell Spangler. Six led for the first lap but then made a bobble coming down the hill, allowing Spangler and Hayes to get around him. Scott Zont moved his way up fourth. Michigan’s Eric Macdonald was all over Zont, and jammed inside taking over fourth. Zont and Potter went side-by-side heading into the new sand section and Potter edged out Zont taking back fifth. Meanwhile, Spangler checked out on the rest of the pack, Hayes finished with a steady second and Six rode smart to capture third. Spangler went 2-1 for the first overall and Hayes took the second. Tough luck for Sewell as he took a DNF in the second moto due to bike troubles after winning the first moto. Locals Kody Kamm and Vaughn Mays finished up with respectable sixth and eighth overalls as well. The 65 (7-11) Modified class was stacked as thirty-one young riders lined the gates coming all the way from states like Georgia and Pennsylvania to name a few. However, those riders had nothing for Illinois’ very own fast boys Chase Sexton and Joey Crown. In the first moto Joey Crown got off to a great start aboard his KTM while Sexton had some issues finishing in second. Pennsylvania’s Brock Papi followed the two Illinois boys to finish a comfortable third. Talon Kobush put in a solid ride for fourth while

Bultaco was another brand that saw success in the 70s, and was what David Bailey rode in his amateur days.

The old style Maico with the silver coffin tank.

Not one, but three beautifully restored AJS machines, the last gasp of British manufacturer, Norton.

Triumph was another British brand that perished in the late 70s, only to resurface decades later.

CYCLE USA, June 2010

fter a three-year absence, Vintage Motocross returned to the vintagefriendly confines of Midway Recreation Park, located near Kellogg, Minnesota. For Motokazie, which has been operating the track since 2009, this was their first ever Vintage event. Midwest VMX, who organizes these events and tallies the yearend points, allows a few â&#x20AC;&#x153;modernâ&#x20AC;? classes, so it was an interesting assortment of eras and designs taking to the track. VMX has visited the facility before, but the events always seemed to be plagued with rain. Although there was some hard rain the day before this event, race day dawned under sunny and mild conditions. With some tractor work in the morning, the track was in ideal condition by the time the races got underway. There was a strong wind that seemed to increase as the day went on, but that was more of an issue with the moderns than the stay-closer-to-the-ground, older machines. With all but the Modern classes, the spirit of the rules is that these bikes should be as period-correct as possible. In other words, figuring out a way to bolt long travel forks onto a 1969 BSA or adding water-cooling to a Bultaco would be strongly discouraged. The classes with the oldest models are named, appropriately enough, the Vintage classes. In general, these machines were made in 1974 or earlier. Many of the brands doing well in these classes no longer exist as companies, but are kept alive through the efforts of enthusiasts. Brian Fowler, Joe French, and Jason Pease all rode the Czech-made CZs (or would they be Slovokian-made?) to victory in their classes. Also winning their respective classes were Jerry Rewerts on a British BSA, Ron Ariton and Terry Wright rid-

ing German-made Maicos, and Jim Ryan on the Spanish, Bultaco. The next set of classes, roughly chronologically by model year, are the Evolution classes. These classes include the first and second generation of long-travel, twin-shock machines. The model years on these are roughly 1975 through 1980. Continuing to move forward, technologically, are the Revolution classes. The bikes ridden in these classes must be singleshock, can be water-cooled, may not have a power valve mechanism, and must have been manufactured with drum brakes. This is arguably the years where the rate of change was at its peak, which is why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fairly narrow window of time, roughly 1981 through 1983. It is in the eras of Revolution and Evolution classes where the Japanese bikes really start to take over. All four of the major Japanese manufacturers (sorry Hodaka fans) had a least one class winner aboard. Robert Boyer broke the pattern by riding a Husqvarna to the win in his class. This is when Huskys were still made in Sweden, well before the brand name traveled to Italy via Cagiva, and most recently, to Germany via BMW. Joe French topped the Evo/Revo +50A class, this time on a beautiful Maico. I have a soft spot for Maicos as I have many pleasant memories of their nimble handling and great power delivery, and have repressed the bad memories that lead to their nickname, Maico-breako. Perhaps the race of the day was Revolution Heavyweight. Aclass riders Russell Anthony and David Matten led a large field of what turned out to be mostly Yamahas. In Evolution Heavyweight A, 17-year-old, Rob Landis, riding a 1979 Suzuki RM250 in his first vintage race, took the win in a competitive field. The last set of classes before the Moderns are the Innova-

Chad Sparks took an ultra-clean Suzuki TM100 to the win in Vintage Lightweight A.

tion classes. These are for any machine manufactured with a front-disc brake and a rear drum brake. The model year span is about 1984 through 1987. The entries were a bit thin in these classes, but included another win for Russell Anthony, this time on a Kawasaki. As the riders packed up and got ready for what was a long drive for many of them, the sound of two-strokes being ridden full-song was still probably going through their heads. For the ones who had bikes to fix, there was quite a bit of time for that, as the next Mid-

Tischler lands win at wet Plymouth

Big bike front row waiting for the start.

Culver, Indiana - April 25 By David Dunnuck Photos by Cheryl Dunnuck

he Plymouth Blackhawks motorcycle club faced a high chance of rain showers during their first event of the year, but were treated to partially sunny skies and dry conditions. For this, their second of the year, they once again faced over an 80% chance of rain showers in the weather forecast. The skies opened up the evening before the race and absolutely poured down for several hours. When racing in wet conditions at the Plymouth grounds, riders are either blessed with tight sand than creates great burms, or simply quick sand. It can be a crap shoot at times. As always at Plymouth, the Mini riders are treated to a parade lap prior to the start of the race. The parade lap turned out to create some delays when several riders were unfortunate enough to differentiate the tight sand from the quick sand. Digging out the minis from the parade lap pushed the start of the race out by 30 minutes. The 85cc race turned out to be another heated battle between the undefeated Michael Witkowski and Keagen Lee. Lee hung in close all race, but once again fell just short of conquering the apparent king of the minis, Witkowski. Luke Chilman was able to hold off Zachary Dubois in the Supermini class for the victory, but fell short of the overall win giving way to Witowski and Lee. The 65cc class appears to have a new dominant power stepping in. Vincent Smith made a smooth inside pass on Dawson Dunnuck off the start and never looked back. Once again, Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smooth and consistent riding style proved too much for the field. 16

Blake Ryan worked past Dunnuck early in the race as did Kayden Young dropping Dunnuck to fourth. Young and Ryan had quite a battle with Young edging out Ryan for his best finish of the year. The big bikes were all assembling for the riders meeting when it became apparent that the skies were about to once again open up. As the heavy rain began to fall, many riders bailed out and headed to the starting line in hopes of selecting the correct row and acquiring an umbrella from a friend. The club had received some complaints from SR A riders regarding their starting row being near the back of the pack. In response, all A riders were placed on the front row setting up for what was sure to be an exciting first corner. With constant rain falling on the riders, rows were adjusted and they were ready for the drop of the green flag. Daniel Sims edged out David Dunnuck for the coveted holeshot and chance to maintain a clean pair of goggles longer than anyone else. Tyler Tischler worked his way into the lead on the first lap followed by Sims and Matt Zeiler, separated only by a few seconds at the end of the lap. The top three remained in that order through the first five laps of the race at which point Zeiler pulled out with a steering stabilizer issue. This allowed Jordan Johns to step into the top three on the sixth and final lap trailing Sims by only twenty-five seconds. The victory for Tischler, a mere five seconds over Sims marked his first in three D15 attempts. Once again, the PeeWee track was moved to a different section of the property in anticipation of the weather. The track consisted of tight switching corners which proved challenging for a few of the little racers. Lance Maschino maintained his winning ways with momentum and smooth throttle op-

450 Plus at Hawkeye Downs Cedar Rapids, Iowa - May 22 By Michael Sierens

erfect weather greeted the 450 plus entries for round two of the 2010 Cedar Valley Trail Riders series at Hawkeye Downs. After a lengthy break in the action due to Mother Nature, the racers were ready to hit the track. First main event of the night was the stacked 250C race. A full gate of riders anticipated the gate drop. Chase Conis was a little too eager as he jumped the gate and watched the entire pack rocket down the start straight while he was stuck. The drag race was led by Jordan Harnish and Austin Holmes into the first turn. Harnish took the holeshot, closely followed by Christian McDonald, Holmes, Kyle Barry and James Goss to round out the top five. Holmes moved into second midway through lap two, dropping Ethan Trumble back to third as Harnish opened up a gap up front. A great battle developed between Holmes, Trumble and Mitch Simon, but before the end of the lap Holmes dropped to fourth place. Trumble pulled in the race leader Harnish by the end of lap number four but a mistake on the finish line straight allowed Harnish to pull another gap on the last lap. Trumble wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to reel in the leader and settled for a hard fought second with Simon earning a third place finish. In the 125cc class, Chase Stevenson raced into turn number one with Taylor Simons close in tow, but Simons ducked to the inside and grabbed the holeshot. Corey Jacobe joined the three rider party for the front position early in the first lap. Zacherey Jepson, while up front almost lost the front end in the high speed section just before the whoops. He planted his left foot on the ground and in-

stantly dropped back through the whoops with his foot off the peg. Picking up the lead was Stevenson while our early leader continued to drop back, ending up in fourth within a lap. Stevenson checked out to a sizeable lead by the midway point and held on for the win. Coming in second was Jacobe followed by Jepson. The Quad A class had another good battle as Cameron Reimers grabbed the holeshot in the main event by taking the inside line into turn one. Behind Reimers was Jesse Barnes with Dalton Hicks sitting in third place early on lap number one. Charlie Weber pushed his way into fourth place on the opening lap. Barnes Jordyn Harnish has moved from the 85â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to the front of 250C. was smothering the race a couple laps down from the leader.

mother’s day at LTm Casey Illinois - May 9 By James Pinckard

others play various roles in the sport of motocross; they are the cook, mechanic, riding coach, business manager, and sometimes the racer. Mother’s day means different things to different people. Riders like Alex Rossetto welcomed his wife and baby boy to the races to celebrate the day while riders like Alex Wentzel and is dad reflected the loss of their wife and mother last year. No matter what role your mother/ wife/ girlfriend has or does play, it’s great to stop and say “Thanks Mom!” On this day the moms welcomed round one of the Illini Super Series as well as Round one of the NMA Ponca City area qualifiers. The biggest class of the day, 250C, was also the wildest. In the first moto Honda rider Cody Willenborg took the win with Honda rider John Loughman second and Brandon Skinner third. On the start of the second moto Willenborg looked to have a great jump off the gate only to have his front end wash out going down in the first turn taking Alexander Ashworth and Michael Dennis with him. While the riders remounted Yamaha rider Kyle Lamm was out front and on the gas. Suzuki two-stroker Nicholas Lasecki and John Loughman stalked him to the checkered flag. First moto winner Cody Willenborg managed to work his way through the pack to sixth for the moto and fourth overall. With the top three up for grabs, Brandon Skinner took third overall with a 3-4 moto score. Second went to Lamm with a 6-1 moto score. First overall was John Loughman’s with a 2-3 moto score. One class that always has many moms on the fence is 50Sr. In fact in the 50 class you could almost score a “mom” race as they run around the infield from fence to fence cheering on their rider. On this day Larry Dauk had the best present for his mom that she could ask for, a first place trophy! In fact Dauk took his Cobra to both moto wins and the overall. Cobra riders took the top three spots with Devin Simonson second in both motos ahead of Brayden Childress. The 50 Shaft is class had its own battle for the day with Clayton Anderson taking both motos and the overall win. In the first moto Ross Petty finished second with Kale Cline third. In the second moto Cline was the one in second and finished

second overall as Petty finished third. Alex Rossetto went after the +30 and 40 classes. In the plus 30A class Rossetto had his Yamaha on the gas taking the first moto win with Honda rider Josh Denault second and Joe Roberts third. In the second moto Rossetto took the moto and overall win. Roberts finished second for the moto and Denault finished third. In +40 Rossetto was at war with two Suzuki riders, Gary Adams and Paul Mumper. In the first moto Rossetto hauled to the front taking the win with Adams second and Mumper third. In the second moto Rossetto again rocketed to the win. Adams finished second for the moto and overall ahead of Mr. Mumper. Alex Wentzel put in a good ride in the 14-24 and finished fifth overall in Open A.

Aztalan Hare Scrambles C class winner Andrew Magiera

Riders brave mudfest at Azzie HS Lake Mills, Wisconsin - April 24 By Dave Hollub

ll week leading up to the Saturday Hare Scrambles the weather at Aztalan looked absolutely perfect, holding in the 60’s with nice sunny days. On Friday when the final course layout was being finished there were even comments that a little rain would be great to keep the dust down. Mother Nature must have been only half listening and dumped over 1½ inches of rain over night turning sections of the course into a muddy quagmire. But the race went on Saturday as intermittent rains continued to fall. First onto the course were the 65cc, 85cc, and Women riders so some minor changes were made to avoid the deepest mud holes in hopes they would dry out some with the extra time. Carley Whitehorse was first out of the start in Women’s and didn’t seem to have any trouble with the conditions as she turned in five laps of consistent riding. Jade Wennlund, despite a rough first lap began on lap two putting in smooth laps to grab second.

+50 rider Will Hutson battles through the day

CYCLE USA, June 2010

Becky Hayes on her vintage bike fought her way through three laps to take third. The Regional Grand National Motorcycle Racing Series once again held their Hare Scrambles leg in conjunction with the Aztalan race. John Stewart with Eron Ezrins right on his rear wheel led the eleven RGN racers into the holeshot. Despite being stuck in ninth place on the start Paul Philbrick soon was cutting his way through the pack hunting down the lead. By the thirty minute mark on the race Philbrick and Stewart were battling for the lead. Philbrick used the full 500cc on his massive Kawasaki to outgun Stewart and ended up taking the win. In C class it was Andrew Magiera grabbing the lead right off in lap one, and staying clean out front the rest of the race. Austin Schreier was second at the end of lap one but on the next tour of the course fell back to fifth, but on lap three worked his way into third where he held to the finish. Danny Bilansky swapped positions with Schreier after the first lap and then held on to second place the rest of the race. The biggest come back of the C class went to Brett Pokrzewinski who finished lap one in thirteenth, lap two in ninth and then pounded his way into a fifth place finish for the day. The +40 class was full of position changes as Robert Behrens pulled out in the lead and for the next four laps John Buechner chased him around. Then on lap five Behrens

slipped back to third and Buechner took over the lead with Joe Vadeboncoeur right behind in second. Behrens quickly recouped his pace and slipped back into second. By the end of lap eight Behrens was again out front with Buechner close behind. Vadeboncoeur settled into third. Eric Hollub jumped into the lead on lap one of the A class with Andy Foley right behind. By the end of lap two Foley had gotten by and would remain unchallenged to the finish, fifteen laps later. Mark Sheppard was in third and took advantage of Hollub going down in a mud section and having trouble refiring his bike to take away second. Hollub dropped out in lap six after colliding with a tree leaving third place to Shane Donovan. Robert Kau held fourth place from start to finish. After the race Foley commented, “It was super muddy, super muddy, but fun. It was a good race for the first race of the year. I usually ride district 23, I rode the A class there last year, and didn’t make it to any Wisconsin races for 2 or 3 years now. I actually liked the section just before the scoring where you come through those little jumps, that berm was really fun. It was muddy but some parts got better as the day went on and some spots got worse. It was a real off-road race. I have to thank B Line Control, he helps me out a lot with suspension work.” Austin Wells jumped into the lead in AA

but as lap one finished he was followed by Scott Daubert, Tyler Smulders, and John Strangfeld, all less than four seconds behind. Daubert moved into the front on laps two and three only to have Wells slip by on four. Lap five saw Strangfeld grab the lead and from there to the finish he would only give the lead up for one lap. Daubert had his hands full as Smulders passed him to take away second. Daubert fought back and on lap ten he slipped up into first for one lap and then settled into second to the finish. Matt Herrington battled his way up from an early ninth place position to third place on lap twelve. Strangfeld said later, “It started out a little greasy out there obviously with the rain. About two or three laps in it started to tack up, the woods got nice and firm, you just had to stay on top of the muck. The woods was definitely very nice. I’ve been on the bike a couple times and KeyTime has been helping dial the suspension in. That was huge today; the bike was set up just perfect for the mud and ruts so it was real easy to ride. Also thanks to Wiseco, Motul, Parts Unlimited, Moose Racing, G2, Smith Goggles, and DP Brakes.” Will Hutson, who raced the +50 class, summed up the day much the same as everyone that raced today did, “I have been racing since 1973 and this is my fourth Hare Scrambles. I finished, I got three laps in, one hour three laps is all I got. I loved it, I’ll be back

next year, it was good and it was fun. The course wasn’t bad. Ruts were tough, my problem is I’m short and can’t touch the ground so I fall a lot. I enjoyed the woods sections; they gave me a chance to rest a bit. Some of the open sections where the mud collected, those were tough for me but I had a great time.” Despite the drenching overnight and deep mud everyone left tired but happy at least until they started cleaning their bikes. I would bet their water bills will reflect just how much fun and mud they took home with them.

Peters Perfect at Cahokia Creek White City, Illinois - May 15 By Bud Northrup

he Cahokia Creek Dirt Riders held their first night hillclimb of the year on a rain slickened hill, and the father-son team of Matt and Levi Peters were dominant. Matt won four classes and claimed both the overall Fast Time and King of the Hill awards. His first win came in the 250cc class on his CR250 where his 3.684 second time on his first ride was the fast time to that point of the night, and held up for the class win. ‘Dangerous’ Dylan Brady claimed second with a 4.002 second time with Kirk Gorsuch third. Peters then lowered the fast time to 3.479 seconds on his first ride in the 450cc class on his KTM380 - a time which also held up for the class win. Kirk Gorsuch was close behind him with a 3.509 second run on his KX450F with Mike Sarver third. He repeated the same scenario in the 600cc class, lowering the overall fast time to 3.476 seconds on his KX500, with that time holding up for the win. Dylan Brady was second. Peters capped his perfect evening by winning the one run King of the Hill class, an exhibition class for the ten fastest riders of the night, regardless of bike size. Riding his

KX500 one more time, he flew over the top in 3.943 seconds, the only rider to break into the 3’s in the class. His nephew, Chris Peters was second with a 4.030 second time on his CR500 with Mike Pulver third. Peters completed his clean sweep by riding only once in each class. Meanwhile, Matt’s boy Levi (‘Lightning’), also had a perfect night, winning two youth classes and the Youth Fast Time award. Levi’s first ride in the 50cc class of 105 feet on his KTM50 was good for that class win, with Brodie Bennett second with an 85 foot effort on his KTM. Derek Bell was third, riding 55 feet on his LEM. Peters is the 2009 National Champion in the 50cc class. In the 65cc class, Levi rode his KX65 105 feet up the slick hill, a climb that would also hold up for the class win. Jon Brian was second with a 65 foot run on his Kawasaki. So Levi duplicated his father’s perfect night, winning both classes he entered with only one run each, and claiming the Youth Fast Time. Mark Peters, Matt’s brother, joined the family win parade by winning the Senior (+40) class on his CR500 with a first round ride of 3.902 seconds. Mike Pulver was second in 3.977 seconds with Jon Creek third. Mark also took only one ride to claim his win.

Other class winners were Jarred Brown (85Jr), Kirk Davis (85Sr), Lucas Learnerd (125cc), Schuyler Kalaher (200cc), Rich Matthews (600 4 Stroke), Mike Sarver (750cc), Jim Allen (+50), Micah King (400cc Stock), Mike Pulver (Open Stock) and Becky Lawson (Women).

Brandon Pope had a big day with three class wins.

one. Cesar Vega and Kevin Markwardt spent the entire moto attempting to chase down Pope and make a move, but no such luck for the two pros. Pope was on his game, looking ahead and making minimal mistakes. The real action took place behind. On the white flag Markwardt became hungry for that second place position and planted Vega in the S corner before the finish. Markwardt pushed on through to claim second place behind Pope and Vega was able to get up in time to finish third.

Vaughn did it again in moto two, holeshotting Hofmaster and Kloptowsky. Vaughn turns his speed up a notch and by mid moto checked out on the rest of the pack. Hofmaster put in another consistent day, finishing up with a second overall in +25A, first in +30A, and fourth in Open A. The 250A class was the smaller of the A classes with only six riders, but nonetheless full of excitement as Daniel Sanders flew off the gate for the moto one holeshot followed by JR Garrett, Cesar Vega and Scott Zont. Sanders led the pros going into the back section and continued his lead for the first two laps, but on the third lap Garret cut low on Sanders getting by. Zont was pressuring Sanders hard for second, and Sanders finally cracked making a mistake in the back causing him to go down. Things heated up in the first and second spots as Zont was practically sideways attempting to get around Garrett for the lead. On the final lap, Zont took the outside line in the S turn before the finish line, sweeping past Garrett and securing the moto one win.

#56 Damon Tatar leads a group of 85Sr riders.

Vega took third followed by Broc Pagni and Sanders. Zont grabbed the holeshot aboard his TZR Honda in moto two with Sanders and Garrett close behind. Garret set up inside on Sanders and passed him in the corner excelling to second place with two laps to go as Zont checked out. Undoubtedly the biggest classes of the day, the C classes had thirty-three entries in 250C and twenty-five in Open C. Moto one of Open C began with a stellar holeshot by Malachi Messenger followed by the inevitable seven bike pile-up in the first corner. JR Barone of Algonquin, Illinois got off to a great start as well with Connor Robinson right there on his back end. By the first lap, Messenger had already checked out on the rest of the pack. Barone and Robinson were battling back and forth for second while Daniel Keefe, Joe Murphy and Jimmy Wolfe were all fighting for the third spot. After going down in the back, Barone got back up and charged his way back to a respectable fourth place finish behind Keefe. The second moto saw Messenger capture the holeshot once again, with Robinson very close behind. This time, Barone got caught up in

the first corner, leaving him in last place. Barone picked off riders one by one, advancing at least three positions every lap. Messenger began to pull away again but Robinson held strong in the second position, followed by Keefe, Garret Mitchell and Murphy. By the last lap, Barone had managed to move up to thirteenth place, giving him a seventh overall. Messenger, Robinson and Keefe stayed very

consistent in the top three positions, Murphy went 5-5 for a fourth overall and Mitchell 9-4 to round out the top five. Motorsports Park has been making many great changes to the track and facility each week, making it more exciting and fun for the riders.

Ronnie Faisst Day at Joliet 250C on the line.

Joliet, Illinois - May 15 By Samantha K. Brent

aturday was relatively cool with a brief high of 70 degrees and mostly overcast, but you would’ve never known it looking at all the smiling faces and the flurry of activity going on. JolietMX was popping with all kinds of different exciting things going on all day and evening! It is believed by many that it was a record breaking turnout of spectators! The track was in excellent condition and the riders were saying they loved it and the new rhythm section in the back. It was Ronnie Faisst Day Saturday. Pro MX Riders Ronnie Faisst & James Gresham were there, there was a kick butt band, and a great free style jump show! Faisst and Gresham were hosted at the track by Rev. Larry Dean, Chris & Samantha Brent from Brent Racing Motosports, and Mike & Gina Madden from Razor Images. Faisst kicked off his motocross school for the riders that had signed up. His students listened intently as Faisst gave tips and instructions on riding and fitness, then he joined his class for on-track instruction and advice. Faisst and Gresham hung out the whole night, watching some racing and chilling with friends at the track. Regular practice was also going from 10am-2pm, and racing started at 6:30. Just before racing started we were treated to a beautiful rendition of the Star Spangled Banner performed by Katelynn Brent and Elizabeth Toppett. In the 14-24 class, Zach Martino on the #199 250 4-stroke Honda got it done with the holeshot off the gate and a good sized lead. Lap two saw Jon Williams giving Martino a good run for his money, gaining on Martino’s lead and making him give it his all. In the last lap Martino charged with all his might to keep the lead, he ended up getting the win, but also blew his motor in the process. Williams came in a close second followed by Joseph Smutny. In +25A Joe Roberts had the holeshot 32

and led the race until the third lap when he went down in the whoops. Paul Gerke took over and won the race, Jim Cherry came in second with Paul Cherry third. The 250B main was the second biggest gate for the big bikes and a rather interesting race. Brian Stibernick had the holeshot until he was, let’s say “guided” into a pole, many riders were left behind in a cluster for a bit because of the mayhem. Joe Ahern had the lead for about two laps until Jon Williams got around him and then Williams just pulled away and held the lead until the end. Third went to Jacob Weber ahead of Matthew Akers. In 250C, the biggest gate of the evening, Dane Donegan won the holeshot followed by Brandon Nordmeyer and Bradley Hrach. By the second lap Nordmeyer had gained the lead and held on to it to win the race. Donegan finished second. In Supermini Brian Krohn rocketed out of the gates and preceded to gain a huge lead over the rest of the riders to take the win. Krohn earned a new nickname from a friend who now calls him “Flyin Brian” Krohn. Krohn’s friend Sam said to him, “It seriously looked like you were flying! It didn’t even look like your tires were touching the track!” In 85 Beginner, Cameron Poces had the holeshot but was passed in lap one by Lane Conway who held the lead all the way to the checkers. Kevin Madden hung in there and passed Poces for second in the last lap! In 85Jr, Troy Mead commandeered the holeshot followed closely by Ryan Burggren. In the second lap Burggren overtook Mead for the lead, and somewhere in there Dylan Bayd also passed Mead for second place. 85Sr started out with Chad Saultz getting the holeshot followed by Brian Krohn and Mitchell Cerda. By the third lap Krohn had gained the lead, Cerda was second and Saultz third. At the checkers for the win it was “Flyin’ Brian” Krohn sponsored by Mica World Cabinetry, Mitchell Cerda and Eric

Mack following. Open B class was dominated by Jacob Weber who came out charging, took the holeshot and had about an 1/8th track lead from the beginning to the end. It’s safe to say that a good time was had by all! JolietMX had so many cool things going on that everyone had something they could enjoy!

Millville Hare Scrambles Millville, Minnesota - May 16 By Michael C. Pohl

n Sunday, May 16, round three of the District 23 Hare Scrambles series took place at the Spring Creek Motocross Park in Millville, Minnesota. 226 adults and 69 kids rode this Hi-Winders sponsored event.

Millville MX Opener perfect Millville, Minnesota - May 2 By Rolfe Otterness

eddy Maier mastered the Millville motocross track as the Super Series opened for business in 2010. Six motos - six moto wins added up for a stellar day for Maier, the Canadian MX2 champ. He did have a bit of pressure from a very fleet Brandon Haas in the Open A class. Maier certainly looks ready to defend his title in Canada. Maier started his first 250A moto with a holeshot on his KX250. Nick Jackson and Joe Perron settled in for pursuit. Maier had the steam to pull away from those two as they contested second for most of the race. Jackson held off Perron’s challenge to the flag with Maier safely in for the win. Calvin Knoll persevered for fourth over Tyler Duncan. Jackson, after a winter of supercross, seemed to be quick

off the line and motored into the lead of moto two. He held on for the first lap with Perron and Maier close. Maier made the move for the lead and took command on the next lap. Perron had a problem and DNF’ed so Knoll inherited third. Maier ran off for the win over with Jackson, Knoll, Bryce Craig and Duncan following across the line. The track was in mint condition for this, the second round of the Super Series as the first round was held last October. Over 600 entries pounded through the ruts and whoops on a beautiful spring day. The track layout was the same as last year. Titan Immel is from the same home state as Maier, Iowa, and made his bid for a win as the Supermini class was cut loose for moto one.

3-4. Miller made a couple of mistakes late in the moto and Immel was first to take the checkered with time to spare. Cody Williams moved up for third over Robin and Stevenson. Immel reproduced his start in moto two with Miller hot on his heels. This time Miller had better luck and took command before the end of the first lap. Immel ran well to keep Miller in close view, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a pass. This round went to Miller. Williams, Stevenson and Joseph Gomez rounded out the top five. Chris Kusch jumped out front in the +40C class with Joel Lenz and Raymond Reidl in tow. Kusch did a great job to take the victory with a smooth ride.

Log Road’s minicycle Celebration Bronson, Michigan - May 15-16 By Bart Newman

he Minicycle Mayhem weekend at Log Road Motocross was a smash as 450 strong showed up at Michigan’s best prepared facility for big fun and great racing in classes ranging from the speedy little guys on 65cc machines like Matt Carpenter and Hunter Rhodes to a fast District 15 AMA Congressman Tim Graves who dominated the +60 class both days. On Saturday Carpenter took top honors in the 65cc 7-11 class while Rhodes was king of the 65cc 7-9 class. In moto one of the 65cc 7-11 class Carpenter took control early and was riding good in spite of pressure coming from Stevensville, Michigan rider Darius Comfort and Indiana speedster Chandler Pitts. Comfort had super lines and great corner speed allowing him to put some distance on Pitts. Carpenter was a blaze and took the win going away, Comfort was the runner-up. Pitts gave up third to Jacob Sremba late in the moto while Dallas Redfield rounded out the top five. In the 7-9 class Max Spicer and Rhodes had it out in a hard fought battle but it was Rhodes who had the speed in the end to hold off Spicer’s advances. Alex Henry was riding well and was in control of third carrying some breathing room over Daemien Vaughn and Hunter Gall. In moto two Comfort got a great start, but so did Carpenter and moved into the lead and with a clear track went to work on winning moto two. It was Carpenter’s (1-1) day and he made short work of moto two taking the victory over his closest competitor. Comfort (2-2) rode well in both motos grabbing the runner-up spot once again good for second overall. Pitts (4-3) wasn’t going end the day off the box and to do that he would have to better his first moto score by a point. Sembra (3-4) never let up but in the end could not match Pitt’s determination and ended the moto in fourth, one spot ahead of Redfield (55). Spicer lined up just to the inside of Rhodes on the gate but it was Rhodes who got the jump and led the gang round turn one. With only the older 65cc riders in front of him Rhodes (1-1) wheeled away with another moto win and overall. Spicer (2-2) was fast but couldn’t find a way to stay with Rhodes today as he was on his “A” game for sure. Henry (3-3) would celebrate his 10th birthday with a spot on the box out gunning Gall (5-4) and Vaughn (4-5) that traded spots in moto two. On Sunday it was the ladies in the Women’s Jr. class that supplied the action packed racing as Ohio’s Cassandra Stephens led the way. Illinois rider Lanaea Malak was fast, but so was Mikayla Inman and the two battled over second. In the end L. Malak was 40

CYCLE USA, June 2010

able to hold off Inman while Jayme Lapoint and Breanna Malak rounded out the top five. Moto two once again saw L. Malak and Stephens back out front. Stephens (1-1) had the track dialed in and was not going to be denied winning her second moto of the day for a the overall. L. Malak (2-2) gave it the old college try and was fast all moto to finish second. Inman (3-3) was a just a wisp back in third laying down some quick laps out running an ever improving Lapoint (4-4) and B. Malak (5-5). The cat’s in the 85Sr. class were not playing and there was some major moto speed being laid down as the three front runners Hunter Burnham (1-1) Jason Felkey and Jacob Bansen were on the gas. Burnham (1-1) is not stranger to Log Road and it showed as the Michigan bullet had his Suzuki in high gear nailing down two wins for the overall. The next Log Road event is Christmas in July and should have Alex Henry put his KX on the box everybody wrapped up in the 65 7-11 class on his 10th birthday. and excited.

Witkowski's reign comes to an end Columbus, Indiana - May 16 By David Dunnuck Photos by Cheryl Dunnuck

ith a very rainy week leading up to the second round of the Stoney Lonesome MC 25th anniversary series, D15 riders knew it would be muddy and challenging at the very least. Racers that braved the conditions were treated to a brand new scoring building and signal system indicating a successful scan by the scoring team. The spectators were also provided with an all enclosed flat screen leader’s board showing the realtime scoring of the events. Hunter Huser repeated his first round victory in the PeeWee Premix race. The PeeWee track was routed through the new scoring area while maintaining the typical three minute lap time, allowing the kids at least ten laps around the course. Reed Day put in consistent laps to claim the victory in the Injector class. The combined mini race was loaded with 40 youth riders looking for a win. The 85cc class left the starting line with ten riders, nine of which were looking to knock Mike Witkowski off his regular spot on the top of the victory podium. Jaden Smith wasted no time in setting the pace on the first lap with Witkowski following. Tanner Bartlett, Justin Huser and Keagen Lee rounded out the top five on the first lap. Lap one was a significant change considering Witkowski had lead every lap this year until this day. At the end of the second lap, Witkowski had turned it up a notch and had taken the lead from Smith. Bartlett had dropped out of the top five while Lee was mounting his charge and had moved into fourth. While Witkowski was still in the

lead after the fourth lap, it was becoming very clear that an exciting race for the win was developing. Smith wasn’t messing around and was clearly keeping the pressure on the first place rider - with Lee continuing his charge toward the front. Lee and Smith swapped positions over the next couple of laps while maintaining their distance behind Witkowski. After the eighth lap, it was clear that Lee was giving us a lesson in physical training by coming through the gates in second, trailing first place by 0:08. Smith remained in third, but was falling off the pace of the leaders. Witkowski tangled with a lapped rider on the last lap allowing just the opportunity Lee had been waiting for all race. Lee capitalized on Witkowski’s mistake and held on for his first win of the 2010 season. For Keagen Lee and those who watched, it was an awesome race that included three different leaders battling for that coveted 85cc class victory. The SuperMini class was stacked with talent, but that did not stop Luke Chilman from running away with a dominating victory over Tyler Vore in second and Zach Dubois in third. Vincent Smith maintained his win streak in the 65cc class and a respectable Mini race overall finish. Kayden Young took over second place due to a mid race crash by Dawson Dunnuck. John Henry Robinson put in consistent lap times on his Cobra and secured his third. At Stoney, the rain, mud and terrain can sometimes be very intimidating for riders. Looking at the big bike event, we saw eightyeight riders leave the starting line, with eight riders finishing eight laps. The score tent recorded a total of 424 passes through the checkpoint. The first lap was once again led by Jeff Cregg. Hot on his heels were Jordan Johns and Tyler Tischler, both looking good. John Robbins and Daniel Sims came through next with only five seconds separating them. The

third lap was good lap for Nathan Sullivan moving into second, but with more room to make up since there was still a 1:47 disadvantage. Johns, Robbins and Sims rounded out the top five. Sims moved into third place by the end of the fifth lap, trailing Sullivan. Tischler moved into fourth place with John solid in fifth. Cregg kept the lead at the end of lap seven. Sims had moved into second place during the sixth lap, but had fallen back to fourth during the seventh lap. Sullivan regained second place with Tischler in hot pursuit. While Cregg cruised to the overall victory, Tischler was able to find his way past Sullivan on the final lap to claim second place. Johns put on a last lap charge to replace Robbins in the top five, but fell short of taking the fourth place position away from Sims.

Ruff E Nuff Enduro Pearson, Wisconsin - May 22/23 By Ken Schuck

he 2010 Ruff E Nuff Enduro at Pearson, Wisconsin lived up to its name as even the top A riders dropped points in the tight, rocky terrain. Heat also was a factor as the temperature was near 90 degrees with considerable humidity. For the second year the Madison Motorcycle Club held a Hare Scrambles on Saturday followed by the Enduro Sunday. Several Hare Scrambles riders stayed to ride the Enduro, which used the Start/ Restart format. District 16 Enduro referee and 2009 Enduro Champion took top honors at the 2010 Ruff E Nuff. Apparently, Speedy would like to repeat in 2010. Pete also rode the Hare Scrambles on Saturday, but noted that he would have liked a Reset at the one hour mark so he could catch his breath. The enduro course and the hare scrambles course overlapped for a short section. Unfortunately, some riders missed the arrow marking a turn and missed a portion of the enduro course. The 2010 Ruff E Nuff almost did not happen. Many of the Madison Motorcycle Club members have put in 20, 30 to nearly 40 Pete Laubmeier (right) was the overall winner.

years working on enduros so the club did not sanction the enduro for 2010. Thanks to Steven Kaczmarowski, his dad Rick and the rest of the Kaczmarowski extended family and friends, plus several MMC members the enduro was able to be continued another year. Rider numbers for 2010 were about half the number for 2009 for both the Hare Scrambles and the Enduro. We hope that was because we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sanction the enduro until early 2010, well after the 2010 schedules were published. Clubs need the support from the riders if we are to continue to have enduros in Wisconsin. So we hope to see you in 2011.

Mother’s Day at Aztalan MX Lake Mills, Wisconsin - May 9 By Dave Hollub

hree years in a row Mother Nature decided to throw a tantrum on the Aztalan Mother’s Day race weekend in the form of rain. But each year after showing who is boss she let the races proceed. On Saturday twenty-five riders showed up to get some muddy track time in the open practice and then the track crew headed out and worked their magic. By Sunday morning the track was ready to race and the sun rose bright and warm and over 480 entries were ready to head out. Racing kicked off with the PW’s, and it was Luke Parker grabbing the holeshot in moto one of 50Jr. Makayla Carpio quickly moved from Parker’s rear wheel into the lead. Eugene Wolff was running third with Brandon Martyniak pushing him from fourth. Despite some hard racing positions stayed the same to the finish. In moto two Parker again took the holeshot, but this time he had Carpio and Wolff flanking him as he rounded the corner. At the end of lap one Parker was out front but Carpio was close behind with Colton Witucki chasing hard. Carpio made her move on lap three to take the lead away from Parker and stayed out front to the checkers. Witucki had Wolff breathing down his neck, and Wolff tried every line he could find but just couldn’t slip by and had to settle for fourth. Carpio took the overall with a 1/1 day while Parker (2/2) was second. Carpio despite being shy filled me in on her race day, “My race was good. I gave it gas on the corners and down the straight-aways into the corners like I was taught to do. I like the jumps and try to jump them all. I just have fun racing but even more when I win. Thank you Mom and Dad for bringing me to the races and Ed that I practice with. Coach Karter Busse, Ride Sports, and Motosports Factory.” With the race order flipped this week we got to see Open B

out early and it was Aaron Koch grabbing the holeshot in front of Dale Kathan and Joshua Philbrick. As lap one finished it was Koch, Philbrick, and Kathan out front with Matt Meyers holding onto fourth. As they hit the plateau on lap two Philbrick was leading Kathan and Koch. On the East end Philbrick bobbled and slipped out the top five leaving Kathan running out front. Brandon Simes moved ahead of Meyers just before the scoring area. While Simes was chasing Koch, Philbrick put on a charge that by the time lap four began found him back in second. Simes slipped past Koch to grab third just before the checkers flew. Kathan took the holeshot in moto two, but by the time they hit the sand section Philbrick was out front and starting to put some breathing room behind him. Meyers was in third with Simes close behind. On the third flight over the plateau Meyers was in third with Simes and Zackary Masch all within a couple bike lengths. Simes made his move on Meyers in the barn section and Masch took the opportunity to slip past as well. With Meyers pushing him hard Masch started after Simes. On the final trip through the East end Masch slipped by Simes for a third place moto finish. Philbrick (2/1) took the overall. Open A was next up and Matthew Menzer was first around the holeshot and proceeded to stay out front to the checkers despite a hard charge from Mathew Maier. Joseph Dretzka settled into third place. The race for the next spot was hard fought with Karter Busse holding on for the first lap and a half. Joshua Marescalco got by Busse on lap two and then had to fight off the push by Jason Erdmann. Erdmann moved up in the East end and then stayed in fourth. Dretzka led the class out onto the track in moto two. While Dretzka stayed out front and Menzer in second, Erdmann was feeling pressure from Maier

and on the third trip over the plateau they were bar to bar. Erdmann wouldn’t give up and Maier wouldn’t back down until Maier slipped by just before the scoring tower. Erdmann chased hard but couldn’t catch Maier before the checkers flew. Once the race was over Dretzka dropped out of the overall because he had changed bikes between motos due to a cracked head pipe on his 450. The final overall went to

Menzer (1/1) with Maier (2/2) second, and Erdmann (4/3) finishing off the top three. Chris Grosskreuz was first down the start straight in +40 moto one. By the time they hit the plateau Weiss was in front of Grosskreuz and Carl Hein. Hein slipped into second in the barn section and now Grosskreuz had to contend with Tom Dretzka battling his way up. Next time over the plateau it was Dretzka in CYCLE USA, June 2010

third and a high flying Paul jumping over Marescalco Grosskreuz to steal away fourth. On lap three Hein came past the start straight with both Dretzka and Marescalco pushing him hard. Dretzka made his move in the sand on the west end to get past Hein and then Marescalco found an opening by the barn. Hein challenged Marescalco for the last lap but couldn’t slip past before the finish. Hein grabbed a big holeshot in moto two but went down in the west end. As everyone hit the plateau it was Dretzka out front with Weiss right on him. Weiss pushed his way into the lead before lap three began and was able to hold on to the finish. Dretzka bobbled and let Marescalco and Jeff Ramsay slip by before the finish. The 250C class had sixty entries and in split one it was AJ Meidl finding all the traction as he pulled a big lead around the holeshot. Meidl set out on a fast pace and by lap two had enough breathing room to settle in for a fun ride. Matthew Olson was second over the with Eric Leach

close behind. Jeff Kriz launched off the plateau and passed Ian Malinowski before they hit Pete’s Plateau. On their third time past the start Leach and Malinowski were in front of Olson. Malinowski slipped into second on lap three back in the west end. Meidl again grabbed the holeshot in moto two with Leach close behind. This moto Meidl was not able to separate from the class and Leach was right behind. Meidl missed a shift letting both Leach and Malinowski by. Meidl recovered quickly and railed the corner leading to the para-style to slip by Malinowski. Then at the plateau Meidl jumped over Leach to retake the lead. Jordan Orr slipped into third when Malinowski dropped out on lap four. Later Meidl said, “Well, moto one went pretty smoothly. I got a really bad gate pick, had to take a far inside gate, but pulled the holeshot and checked out. Moto two got off good but got a touch half way through. I pulled the holeshot and started to pull away. On the second lap I hit neutral in a rut and tipped

over. Two guys passed me but I got them back. The track was getting a little rough but still fun. I’d like to say a big thanks to my mom for bringing me because my dad had to work the whole weekend. Also thanks to Tammy Flemming for the support throughout the day.” Andy Kost jumped out front right away in 85Sr with Justin Wolf and Riley Telfer in moto one. Tristin Toney was running fourth with pressure from Link Decker until midway through lap three Decker dropped back. In moto two Toney grabbed the holeshot barely beating out Telfer who was charging hard from the outside line. Kost was out front by the time he hit the plateau with Toney in second and Wolf running third. Wolf grabbed the inside line just after the scoring area and slid past Toney to move into second. By the end of lap two both Telfer and Decker made their way

around Toney. Kost went 1/1 to take the overall, Wolf (2/2) was second and Telfer (3/3) finished third. Taylor Hosta grabbed the Sportsman B/C holeshot in moto one edging out Matthew Meyers and Brennen Marshall. Meyers was out front on the first trip over the plateau with Marshall, Trevin Simes, and Dillon Kau close behind. On lap two Marshall moved into the lead on the West end only to give it up to Simes who charged hard in the barn section to move up from third. As lap two was finishing Kau slipped into third then got by Marshall and as they came over the plateau on the final lap it was still Simes out front with Kau, Marshall, and Meyers closing in. The moto two holeshot went to Meyers with both Marshall and Simes even with his back wheel. By the beginning of lap two Kau was out front and despite pressure from both MeyCYCLE USA, June 2010

ers and Marshall would hold on for the moto win. On lap three Brandon Marescalco slipped in behind Meyers into third. Aaron Koch also got past Meyers to tie up fourth place in the moto. Kau (2/1) got the overall, Marshall (3/2) was second. Later Kau said, “Today started pretty bad, I crashed hard in 250B but then Sportsman went good. In moto one of Sportsman I had a mid pack start but got up to second. The track was good this morning but this afternoon a little dusty and rough. The sand up here by the barn got really rough the way they shaped it. It kicked you around up and down then sideways, kind of everywhere but it was good. Thanks to my Dad and also Calvin down at Cycle Shed in Indiana for getting my suspension set up right.” Later I caught up with Karter Busse who is head of the track crew for Aztalan Cycle Club and talked to him about the conditions. Sportsman B/C winner Dillon Kau.

AJ Meidl grabbed both holeshots and the the overall in 250C-1.

“The track held up really well today, we got some moisture yesterday that we needed. All in all it really helped and the track held up. We definitely put in a lot of work to get ready. We tried to pull off a practice yesterday and it just kept pouring. Once practice was over we stayed out late last night and got it done. I think everyone was really happy with the track today. We have a crew and they all work so much harder than anyone realizes.” Once again Mother Nature made a show of who is the boss, but in the end relented and put on a great day for Mother’s Day racing at Aztalan Cycle Club. The next Motocross race is June 13 with an open practice scheduled for Saturday, and we hope to see everyone out here once again.

Great Racing at an Old Venue Paris Crossing, Indiana - May 16 By Don Browning Photos by Phyllis Blume

hile it rained most of the week prior to race day, the Hoosier Hilltoppers track after some modifications for drainage turned out to be in excellent condition. There were a couple of wet areas, but this is motocross. The first set of motos had some excellent side by side racing. Twelve riders lined up at the gate in the 250C class, and Honda rider Jason Rutherford took the lead into the first corner. He held on until when Nick Geiss on his Honda passed. By the halfway point, Suzuki rider Cody Schwab moved into second and Shane Schroughan followed in third aboard his Kawasaki. Rutherford experienced problems and ended up dropping out. The first moto win went go to Geiss, with Schwab and Schroughan following in second and third. A light rain started and challenged the riders as the upper portions of the track became slick, and required precise throttle control when entering and exiting turns. This effected the outcome in 250C as Schwab took advantage of the conditions and claimed the overall by taking a first in the second moto followed by Geiss and Schroughan. Schwab also claimed back to back wins in the Open C class to top off his perfect day. Mark Smith on his Yamaha took top honors in the Open A and +40 classes to join the few riders who had double class wins. Honda rider Dillon Ramey won 250B and 14-24, while Evan Valvano and his KX claimed overalls in the Sr. Mini and Super Mini classes. Tom Meiers took second overall in +40 and +30B aboard his Yamaha before winning the overall in +50. Hoosier Hilltoppers added a vintage

class and for the first race, and had a great turnout. Bikes that were 30 to 40 years old demonstrated to the spectators that their is still life for old bikes. The members of Hoosier Hilltoppers would like to thank the riders who showed up under questionable weather conditions. The members discovered that with a little grading for drainage, racing can happen and all the riders enjoyed their day. Special thanks go out to Mitch Barnes of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes who provided five $100 gift certificates for their MX camps.

In the Youth class, Dalton Packard was looking like a new man, now riding a KTM. In the first moto he came out of the gates hard and took the holeshot. Inches behind him was KTM rider Dakota Robins. Robins was able to get around Packard in the first lap, but then had bike problems and was a DNF. Packard

he weather hasn't been the kindest to motocross racers so far this season. It rained Friday night, and again Saturday evening. Despite the rain, the staff at Reads Racing had a full day of racing on Saturday. There was a grand prix in the morning, and motocross in the evening. The Saturday evening action started with the big quads. In the Quad B class, Sonny Nemitz came out of the gates with the lead, followed by Lindsey Sandel and Joel Shilling. As the race went on, it looked like the leaders had secured their positions, until Shilling crashed. He jumped the tank jump, but his landing was off. They were able to finish the race, with Nemitz holding on for the win. In the second moto Nemitz maintained the lead, again followed by Sandel.

Stanfield rode in second the rest of the moto. Chris Stanton came up from behind and decided it was time to take third place away from Perry. He gave his quad more gas and did get around her. She was not able to answer back. In the second moto, Jacob Clingaman dominated the race. Stanfield and Perry were next in order. Stanfield pulled ahead of Perry to ride comfortably in second place. Coming from behind, Jordanne Stichter and Chris Stanton also got around Perry. Stichter was getting pressure from Stanton, but held him off. Stanton then stalled in the triple table top section, which gave Stichter some breathing room. Michael Wesselman went 1-1 in the 250B class, riding confidently on the muddy track. Anthony Mann and Cruz Vazquez followed behind him. In the first moto Nathan Budreau was riding near the head of the pack. In the triple table top section, he went wide into the bank and had a hard crash. Ending the night was the 125cc 2-stroke class. Scott Swinford and Dalton Packard battled in out in both motos.

Weather chills Rapids, again Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin April 25 By Doug Forstner

he Rapid Angels again hosted their spring Dist. 16 motocross race at Dyracuse State Park in the Town of Rome. In the month leading up to the race we didn’t receive any rain in Central Wisconsin, and things were looking pretty dry. Fortunately or maybe unfortunately, mother nature decided to show up for the weekend. She brought a bunch of rain, but also high winds and cold temps. “Just once, it would be nice if we hit a happy medium,” track president Steve Botjen said. Medic Dave seemed to be the only smart one on hand as I noticed him bundled up on his EMT utility vehicle in his snowmobile suit. When I asked him if he knew something us locals didn't, he just laughed and said “I got to be ready all day and need to keep warm”. Rapid Angels have spent a ton of money in the past few years with an updated speaker and sound system, new fencing and adding to the length of the track with the purchase of adjoining land. The club laid out a

new section which is super fast but technical with a bunch of lines for passing opportunities. If you haven’t ridden it yet, get out there and check it out. Now instead of coming down the start straight and turning right over the plateau, you come down the start straight and turn left into the new 40 acres. The dirt is harder packed than most of the course. I feel this section just adds to the gnarliness of the track, its longer, rough, and continues to get beaten up as the day progresses. The Peewee riders were the first out of the gate and they probably had it the worst. Think of a 10" wheel and 5" ruts. If it was a 21" wheel and 10" ruts you guys would be complaining, come on admit it. But both the Jr and Sr classes did great, and I think even under the cruddy conditions, all the kids still were having a blast. Matt St John, Dj Gritzmacher, and Jack Wojahn battled for the lead in 50Sr. Even though the rain was coming in sideways and the puddles were getting deeper on the kids track, these three put on a show. A couple quick tip over and lead changes but in the end St John took the overall ahead of Gritzmacher and Wojahn. Sam

Forstner and Autumn Czappa rounded out the top five. It was my son’s first official Dist 16 mx race and he had two comments on the day that I have to share. As he finished moto two

he comes off the track and says, "You know dad us motocrossers aren't too smart but it sure was fun". Meaning who in their right mind would get up on a Sunday morning at 5am and go race in

the rain in 40 degree weather. And as he was getting warmed up in the trailer quote #2 popped up, "well 25 more years and I will be a life AMA member just like you". Too say the least, I'm very proud. When the gate dropped on the 250B class, it was Zach Masch and Cody Fredrick battling for the lead. Fredrick's two stroke drag raced the 250F of Masch down the start straight into the new section with Fredrick leading. These two were being chased by Talon Bronk, Wyatt Randecker and Cody Steuck. The top five separated themselves from the rest of the pack and were on a charge. Some great back and forth dicing ensued both motos but in the end Fredrick ended up first overall ahead of Masch. Steuck rounded out the podium. The iron man award goes to Bill Medek who makes the long haul from Minnesota to race every year. He raced four “A” classes and won two of them, +25A and +30A. He finished runner-up in 450A and third in 250A. So here's to you Bill, this year’s Dyracuse Iron Man. I got tired just watching that many motos.

Moss Masters FVOR Opener Wedron, Illinois - May 2 By Nikki Dixon

Andre Topper battled for several laps for the +30 lead before finishing a strong fourth.

cattered showers swept across the area the night before the 2010 Fox Valley Off Road season opener. “We did get light rain over night” was posted on the FVOR website early Sunday morning. Although while nearby areas were barely touched, Wedron received a good soaking, much more than promoter Gerhard Ward anticipated, until he arrived at the muddy park. The crew quickly went to work to prep and scrape the kids’ course, so the riders could get around. Several reroutes and changes were made throughout the day to avoid troubled hills and areas, and to give the best course possible. And after all, this is a hare scrambles race, which is typically run rain or shine! The course actually tacked up nicely in most spots after a few laps, but there were still several slick hills, deep ruts, and mud holes to keep things challenging and interesting the entire day. The mud riders excelled, as this race required a little extra throttle control and patience, and line selection was critical to putting together consistent laps. And for the riders that don’t do so well with mud, well, this was one tough race! Twenty-six quad riders lined up in the starting area. +30 class riders Jim Hanchett, Andre Topper, and Daniel Burkitt led the first row start into the woods, and splashing through some mud as they dropped into the first set of hills. Burkitt moved out front and had over a minute lead as they completed the first lap, followed by Kevin Johnson, Hanchett, Topper, and A class rider Brandon Hibberd. Burkitt led all riders through the checkpoint for the first three laps. On lap four, A-rider Hibberd hammered out an 11:37 lap to move out front, which would end up the

125 riders lined up for the big bike classes.

CYCLE USA, June 2010

fastest lap of the race. Hibberd charged ahead to complete seven laps, and take the A class win and Quad overall. Burkitt battled past Topper on lap six logging an 11:47 lap, then stayed out front to take the +30 win and second overall. Topper had problems in the final lap, dropping out of an overall podium finish, and allowing Johnson and Hanchett to round out the top three in +30. 65 Beginner was one of the biggest classes of the day with twenty-one riders. The young riders had a fresh course with most of the trails wood chipped, but there were still several slick and muddy sections to add a challenge. Jacob McCarrens nailed the holeshot, followed by Shawn Thompson, Haydon Schmidt, and Kolton Featherston. Schmidt moved out front on the first lap, trailed by Hunter Grampp, Mitch Edmeier, Featherston, and McCarrens. Grampp was the new leader after two laps, and put in nine consistent laps in the 4-5 minute range on the greasy course to earn the win. Tanner Whipple clocked several laps under the 4 minute mark, to charge up to a second place finish,

after running tenth on the first lap. Edmeier edged out Featherston by a couple bike lengths to finish third, with Featherston and Schmidt completing the top five. Joey Fortune led the 8rider Supermini class as they completed the first lap on the east course, followed by Logan Kelly, Jarred Hall, and Nate Horning, all within a minute of one another. Hall was the new leader on lap two, as Fortune made some mistakes. Fortune regained the lead on lap three, then pushed ahead to complete eight laps and take a big win, and was the only Supermini rider to break the 7 minute lap mark. Horning and Hall each completed seven laps to round out the top three, followed by Kelly and Anthony Steinhauer. Payton Carey had a great start in the thirteen rider 85cc class, leading the first three laps, chased by Mitchell Ternes, Jeff Gourley, and Riley Schuhler. The rest of the pack struggled through the first lap, including a bottleneck on an off camber uphill. Schuhler picked it up on lap four logging a 7:01 lap to take the lead, then strung together four impressive laps of 6:23, 6:16, 6:28, and 6:28 as he sprinted to the checkered flag. Schuhler was the only rider other than Supermini winner Fortune to finish eight laps. Payton stayed in the hunt on his final two laps to secure second place, followed by Gourley, Ternes, and Matthew McDonald. In the 65cc class, Mason Schuhler and Cody Barnes went back and forth in the early laps on the slick course. Schuhler put on a charge in the final four laps to pull away for the win, and Barnes finished second. Both Schuhler and Barnes broke the 7 minute mark late in the race as the course tacked up nicely.

Luke Wamhoff, Colten Zuidema, and Bryce Otterbach wrapped up the top five.

Cold temps don’t slow Megacross Mendota, Illinois - May 8 By Jennifer Kenyon Photos by Brett Wilkinson

lthough it was the second week in May, Mother Nature reminded us that summer hasn’t quite arrived yet as the temperatures were a little on the chilly side for round three of the Megacross Series in Mendota, Illinois. Since there was a Loretta Lynn’s Qualifier close by at Sunset Ridge, some racers came straight over to Mendota to throw some laps down and protect their district points, while others came just to watch the intense racing that Megacross is so well known for. Either way, the winter coats were out as riders tried to adapt to the weather. The Megacross crew did a spectacular job of making sure the track was in perfect condition for the riders, as usual. The Women’s class was full of action with nine riders at the gate. Kim Chandler grabbed the main event holeshot on her Kawasaki, followed by the Yamaha of Brittany Curelo close behind. Curelo followed Chandler closely until the back section where both girls rounded the corner and hit the table top section, side by side all the way down the straightaway. Curelo inched out Chandler in the corner, passing for the lead. Danielle Wilkinson got off to a great third place start, followed by Kayla Miller. Wilkinson and Miller battled throughout the moto, before Miller finally went inside Wilkinson, ripping through the corner on her two-stroke. Chandler fought hard to get around Curelo, but fell

The Quad C class saw more close racing.

just short taking second. Curelo went on to win her first ever main event at Megacross. Arenacross stud Chad Johnson ripped the 450A main event holeshot aboard his KTM after having just filled his rear tire with air while on the line. Daniel Sanders led the rest of the pack behind Johnson in the start. Tom Hofmaster immediately made his way up to second, applying early pressure on Johnson. Kevin Markwardt got a last place holeshot and moved his way up to third in the first couple of laps. Johnson then slowed, allowing Hofmaster and Markwardt to move up before pulling off due to a flat tire. Tough luck for Johnson, but that didn’t stop the intense battle between Markwardt and Hofmaster as they went back and forth for the first place position. Markwardt was trying everything to get around, but Hofmaster took the win, with Scott Zont claiming the last podium spot. Robbie Hyson had a great night, sweeping both the 125cc and Super Mini classes. Hyson ripped the holeshot in the Super Mini main with the KTM of Kody Smith in

second and Greg Rogers close behind. Smith and Rogers were banging bars coming into the corner, Smith cut hard inside, barely missing Rogers’ Kawasaki. Joey Fortune got a mid pack start and worked his way up to second in the first couple of laps. As Rogers and Smith were going back and forth, Tanner Porter was gaining on them quickly. Smith got hung up on a rut, allowing Rogers a little breathing room as Hyson checked out to a victory followed Fortune. Rogers captured third place over Smith and Tanner Porter. Burton Lavens got off to a great start in the +35 class, with the Yamaha of Steve Perkins hot on his tail. Perkins didn’t let Lavens out of his sight as they both made their way through some of the 14-24 riders that took off in the first gate drop. David Hayes charged hard at Stephen Jelinek for fourth, but Jelinek held him off. Lavens went on to win +35, and also rode well for an impressive second to Tommy Hofmaster in +30A. More bar-to-bar action came from 250A. Daniel Sanders flew off the gate to capture the holeshot before Scott Zont took over the lead. TZR riders Zont and Jonathan Six rode out front in the one and two spots until Six cut inside on Zont, only to slide out in the corner after the whoops. Tommy Hofmaster used this as an opportunity to move into second before Six got back on his bike. Wisconsin’s Chad Johnson got a bad holeshot, and was being very patient in getting around Six, waiting and watching for Six to make a mistake. On the last lap, Johnson went outside on Six coming into the S turn before the finish line and swept past to claim the third spot just before the finish line.

Fox Valley HS Continued Most of the front runners had a tough second lap, as Janas mastered the slick course to charge into the lead, with Pherigo right on his rear tire. Janas strung together several laps around the 12 minute mark to slowly pull away for the win, and was the only +30A rider to complete eight laps. Steve Perkins dominated the twenty-one rider +40B class, reeling in early leader Jeff Hartzell on lap two. Once out front, Perkins hammered out seven solid laps to take the win by almost 10 minutes over second place. Scott Liebenberg ran in second for most of the race, until a 20 minute final lap dropped him back to fourth. Brent Pierce rallied back from ninth place on the first lap to finish second, and Andy Garecht came from an eighth place start to finish third. Tony Spizzirri nailed the dead engine start to pull a big holeshot in 201-Open C, followed by Nicholas Wood, Devon Fredrick, and Zach Kodus. Matthew Walsh led at the first lap checkpoint, as many riders struggled through the bottlenecks, slippery hills, and deep mud holes.

one single mud puddle was found. The track featured some new step up jumps and few other changes, and all the riders were pretty excited to get things going. One thing that never changes though is the ole trusty bungee cord start. Sort of an old-school trademark at this point. The +50 and Women classes were combined to kick-off the racing order. Honda mounted Gary Behrens from Lacrosse and Mike Barta got out front and finished moto one ahead of the pack. Moto two was more of the same from these two with Jay Kidd finishing third ahead of Bill Bell. The Women’s class was exciting as the racers swapped several positions between the motos. Hanna Kurtzweil won moto one ahead of Kayla Ponton, Amanda Nadboralski, and Tanya Kallenbach. As moto two progressed it was Nadboralski getting out front. Kurtzweil just had to make sure she finished in second ahead of Ponton and she did just that. Ponton stayed ahead of Kallenbach to take the third spot. So the overall went to Kurtzweil with a 1-2. Nadboralski won the moto for second overall. Sportsman B/C was another class that had some great battles. In moto one, Matt Tranetzke was trying his best to stay in front of the battle that ensued behind him as Tyler Stoll and Kyle Pallin were gunning for the runner-up spot. Stoll got some breathing room after Pallin went down, but Pallin charged back past Aaron Horack and Pat Gorman to still finish in third. In moto two, Pallin got out front early 58

The Mini Sr. class took off down the long start straight and it was Jeffrey Stewart who came out with the lead ahead of Dennis Ponton and Jack Hendrick. Ponton gave chase to Stewart lap after lap as the two started to pull away from the pack. It wasn’t until late in the moto that Stewart opened up a little gap and held on for the win. Moto two was almost identical as Ponton and Stewart got out front and chased each other around the track, lap after lap. Blake Bocek was riding better this moto and giving Hendricks all he could handle as Robert Renkas was also in the mix. Stewart took home the overall ahead of Ponton. Jack Hendricks’ 3-4 was good for a hard earned bronze medal. You know you have a good track and well run race when the Peewee’s finished the day of racing, and all before 4pm.

Old Rivalries Revisited at Denmark Denmark, Wisconsin - May 16 By Pete Emme

ust over 250 entries were on hand for Sports and Competiton’s second race of the year also offering up Triplecross Series points and Yamaha Contingency. Weather was fine throughout the day as temps hovered around the high 60’s, and the track was worked up nicely for the racers. 2010 seems like a flashback to when riders were battling on the rolling hills and natural terrain track. With names like Busse, Warner, Stroebel, Szalewski, Holmes, Duclos, Mraz and Heindl racing, it seemed like 1993 was right in front of my eyes once again. In the +45 class first moto, it was Yamaha rider Tom Hinze getting the holeshot just ahead of Jeff Ramsey. Both longtime District 16 racers, Hinze held a three bike length lead over Ramsey in the early going as Steve Green overtook George Tabalske for third. Tabalske immediately went down after being passed allowing Mark Mraz and Kevin McNiff to get by and start the chase to the end. Hinze was being hounded by Ramsey going into the second lap as Green was waiting for a mistake to happen by the leaders. On the third lap, Ramsey had got by Hinze. The two had a short battle until they ran up towards flagpole hill where Hinze got the inside and made the pass on Ramsey for the lead and soon stretched it out and led the final lap to victory. “I had a good start as I came from the outside to get around Ramsey for the holeshot,” said Hinze. “I then got cross rutted in a turn in the back section of the track and then he got around me. We came around the front and he went off the track and I just tried to stay smooth for the last lap to take the win.” Ramsey took the second moto holeshot. Hinze could only muster a third in the final moto and I remember him saying that he “went out with the boys” the night before and somehow CYCLE USA, June 2010

caught a flu bug and wasn’t feeling well on the way to the track. I know what that flu bug can do to you!!!! Hinze simply ran out of steam in the second moto as his 1-3 tallies netted him a second overall ahead of the scores of 3-2 for Green. Brandon Holmes used the power on his Yamaha YZ85 to capture the first 85Jr moto holeshot over Jamison Duclos. Once Holmes hit the jumps on the opposite side of the track, he started to stretch his lead out on the first lap but before you knew it, Duclos was out in the lead as they came back down the big hill towards the end of the first lap. Holmes now had to figure a way around. By the time they hit the third lap, Holmes was all over the leader but simply ran out of time as Duclos took the win. “I took the inside off the gate and kind of bogged off the start and settled for second on the holeshot but I caught Brandon in the back and I tried to hold him off the best I could to get the win,” said Duclos. “I messed up in the back section but I did catch up to him and gave him a run towards the end, it was a really close race,” said Holmes. In the second moto, Duclos got a great jump off of the concrete start but Holmes cut to the inside to snag the holeshot. Holmes pushed it hard on the first lap and didn’t seem timid at all as he cruised to the second moto win for the overall. Duclos came across in second while Cole Thomson finished third with 4-3 scores on his Suzuki. In +25B it was Dale Minkler getting the nod in the fast first turn in the first moto just ahead of the Clem Hofman who started all alone on the far inside gate. Sneaking into third was Cory Smidel who got into the lead when they hit the step-up. Hofman got around Minkler and then set his sights on his friend. Smidel pushed hard on the first lap as Hofman snubbed his Suzuki on the first lap, allowing Smidel to distance himself from the pack as it was enough to get the first moto win. Minkler pulled another holeshot in the second moto but it wasn’t enough for the Honda rider as Smidel took over the lead early on to impress his lovely girlfriend Sara, and take another moto win, good for the overall as well. Minkler ended up second overall as he stayed in second for the last moto with Hofman going 2-3 for third. In the +25A class it was the big Kawasaki of Jason Heindl moving into the lead early followed by longtime District 16 rider Jason Warner aboard nothing else but a Honda. Matt Mraz sewed grabbed third. Mraz was on a mission on the first lap while Heindl seemed a little uncomfortable on the hard-pack clay. Mraz quickly moved into the second spot in the back section to hound Heindl. Mraz pulled alongside him a few times during the second lap before moving 62

CYCLE USA, June 2010

out front for good. Heindl laid it down going into the third lap allowing Warner, David Rock and Daniel Gray to move ahead. Heindl settled for a disappointing fifth as Mraz cruised to the win. “The first moto went really well, I got a good start, and then got by Warner and Jason Heindl for the lead and it was a really good win for me,” said Mraz. “I just need to keep this pace up for the second moto to get the overall.” Heindl had these holeshots just dialed in as he pulled the second moto lead ahead of Gray. Mraz snuck into the second and then set the crosshairs on Heindl as they headed toward the back section. As they came back down for the first lap, it was Mraz once again in the lead and heading towards another moto victory. Heindl settled for a well earned second after making some suspension adjustments. Heindl went 5-3 for second and Gray went 2-8 for third as Mraz went back to back for the overall. In the +50 division, it was Pete Szalewski wearing an Arai from 1993 taking the first moto holeshot aboard his trusty old YZ400F. Szalewski quickly moved out to a comfortable lead ahead of Big John Meehan and John Stroebel, all long time D16 members. Allen Artz snubbed it early on. Szalewski was way out front and then Stroebel moved past Meehan but it was the trucker turned motocrosser Artz on the charge on his KTM as he was making time moving towards Stroebel. It didn’t look like Artz would catch Stroebel on the final lap, but as they came down the big hill, Artzie gave Stroebel a little love tap on the inside getting into that second spot as the checkers flew. “I cut the engine and then I had to twist the wick to get back in it,” said second place finisher Artz. “In the last corner, I kind of jumped out of the rut and in front of another good rider to finish second,” said Artz. Stroebel had a great jump off of the concrete but it wasn’t enough as

Szalewski had the momentum from the outside once again to take the lead. Stroebel maintained the second spot while Artz was way back, working his way through the pack. In an almost carbon copy of the first moto, Artz this time made the pass once again on the last lap, but this time it was in the back section to move Stroebel back to third. Szalewski took the win and someone should check his ID to see if he’s over fifty, because he’s riding like he’s thirty. Artz took home second with 2-2 tallies while Stroebel went 3-3. Tyler Elliott had his Yamaha dialed in the 250C class as he took back to back wins in the jammed class. Elliott was in a league of his own, he also won the Open C class with back to back moto wins as well. “I started on the inside and I got an okay jump in the 250C class and I just stayed in first the whole time,” said Elliott.

Matt Mraz was hot in the +25A class winning both motos.

Jendro, Robin fly to overalls at MotoCity Staples, Minnesota - April 25 By Dale Kadlec Photos by Lena Richards

ll of Minnesota is wondering when is it going to rain? Well, April showers on a practice day brings good racing on Sunday, and the track couldn’t have been watered any better. The MotoCity race order rotation had the 250A/B classes locked and loaded first race out. The RPM’s came up, the gate dropped and the YZ250 of Spencer Kadlec blasted out with the holeshot followed by Jake Bostrom, Matt Kline and the boys. But where was Scott Jendro? Did he have a senior moment being his 25th Birthday was on Saturday? Have no fear, Scooter was here. He regrouped and marched to the front to win the moto. The second moto, Jendro came back from his first moto hiccup to take the holeshot and led the moto through to the finish. The 250B pilots where doing battle with Sawyer Brownlee’s KX leading the charge on the first moto. Brandon Riehm, Zach Bromenschenkel, Nick Carter and the rest of the B squad were on the gas catching some of the A squad by the fourth lap. With Brandon Riehm coming up with the first moto win, he wasted no time taking the holeshot in the secScott Jendro was unstoppable in his A classes.

ond moto and never looked back. Bromenschenkel and Brownlee traded positions from the first moto to put on a great race. The 85cc 9-12 class was the first 85cc class to hit the track Sunday morning. Jerry Robin on his Yamaha had a monster holeshot to start it all off. Robins showed the 85cc classes how to do the big double section, which increased his lead every lap for a first moto win. For the second moto it was Robin again with the holeshot, and the racing was hot and heavy behind him with positions changing every lap. Mateo Johnson reeled in Cole Dekoninck, Noah McPherson, Brent Quigley and Aaron Lindell going from sixth to second. This was a fun race to watch! We would like to thank all who support us from riders and parents to sponsors! Thanks for a great day of racing!

Hare Scrambles Opens New Track Hillpoint, Wisconsin - May 2 By Dave Hollub

ate last fall Hare scrambles referee Brian Terry approached Jason Erdmann about having the Madison Motorcycle Club host an event at the brand new Sugar Maple MX facility. Erdmann agreed and over the winter Terry set about exploring the land and laying out a course to test the District 16 riders. By race day Terry had laid out a course in an untracked area that would challenge the 91 riders that showed up. First up were the 50cc riders. Hunter Fischer jumped into an early lead but Travis Bloyer never gave up, and about midway through pushed his way into the lead. Bloyer held on to the finish with Fischer right behind him. Bloyer afterwards, “I raced the 50 class and rode pretty fast. The course was good. I have been racing two seasons now and this is my second win. My sponsors are County Cycles and my Dad.” In the Women’s class Carley Whitehorse continued her streak that started the week before at Aztalan and took the win after eleven laps. Whitehorse has been working hard to come back after a season off in 2009 with a broken hand, and it looks like she is again a force to be reckoned with as she rides for 414 Racing. In the 85cc class, Luke Watters jumped into the lead right away and held on to the finish turning in consistent laps that varied by less than 10 seconds. Dylan Kobel slipped into second as Hunter Neuwirth took a hard fall over a tunnel jump on lap one on the MX track portion of the course. Neuwirth eventually got up and began chasing after the leaders. Neuwirth finished third, and on his final lap he posted the fastest lap time for the 85cc class. Watters later said, “The course was Travis Bloyer and his first place 50cc trophy.

pretty good but it was shorter than I am used to. I’ve been doing hare scrambles since I was little. I’m doing the WFO series where I am leading points now. Thanks to my sponsors DeCal Works, Ace Carpet Cleaning, FMF, Cycra, Rad Screen Printing, Moline Boat & Motor, and Brenny’s Cycle Works.” In the +50 class it was Duane Eller taking the lead right away with Noel Smage right behind in positions they held to the finish. Tony Merlik held third after Dave Peters struggled on lap one. Then on lap three Peters found his pace and slipped by Merlik into third. The +40 class had some good battles going as Joe Vadeboncoeur jumped into the early lead followed by John Buechner and Kenneth Soczka. By the end of lap two Soczka into second and Dean Hagemann was running third. On lap three Buechner charged hard and Joe Vadeboncouer on moved up from fourth into his way to the +40 win. the lead which he held onto down Buechner. On lap twelve Vadeboncoeur until lap eleven. Soczka dropped out of the slipped by Buechner and held on for the win. race on lap five giving second position to Hagemann. Vadeboncoeur made a pass on Carley Whitehorse was the Hagemann on lap six Women’s class winner. to move into second as he began hunting

In C class Andrue Remley came through scoring just six seconds ahead of Austin Schreier at the end of lap one. Schreier quickly made up the gap and passed into the lead which he would hold to the finish. Danny Bilansky fought his way up from fourth and moved into second on lap two but on lap three he was passed by William Ries. On lap five Remley was on the move and he quickly went from fourth place to second. Jesse Caballero jumped into the lead in B class but it was short lived as he dropped out during lap two giving up the lead to Cesco Lama. Lama held the lead until lap five then slowly dropped back to an eight place finish as he had bike problems. Corey Pederson had been pushing Lama for the first four laps and moved into the lead position for the remainder of the race. Curt Shomberg rode a steady pace and by lap eight he was sitting in second with Jacob Zyhowski rounding up the top three. Mark Sheppard was out front in the A class as lap one ended but Jamison Stachel was just two seconds back. On lap two Robert Kau jumped into the lead with Sheppard less than a bike length back and Stachel just behind him. Stachel used the open MX track portion to push into the lead just in front of Kau and stayed there until his race ended on lap ten. Kau slipped into first with Bryan Dixon in second and Andrew Storbeck third. In “AA” Austin Wells took the early lead with Mat Herrington a couple bike lengths back. Steven Willis and Pete Laubmeier moved past Herrington on lap two but Herrington was quick to regain second on the next lap as Laubmeier moved up into the lead. On lap four Jason Erdmann slipped into second after having gone down in the start in a midair collision with another rider. Erdmann making his first ever appearance in a hare scrambles held onto second through lap nine when Herrington and Scott Daubert slipped past. Laubmeier lost the lead to Herrington on lap ten and then on lap twelve Daubert moved him back one more spot. Greg Hochmuth, despite having a flat front tire during lap two stayed consistent and finished fourth after edging past Erdmann on lap twelve. Paul Philbrick set the fastest lap time of the day on lap three with a 7:37 lap. Herrington summed up the race later “The course was new so it was great, it changed up as the day went on and it got worn in. The hills were really nasty and a lot of slippery rocks and tree roots, other than that just take your time through all the traffic. There was a bottleneck after the first lap on the first

uphill but then they took that out on the next lap. I think the whole C class was on it when we came around the second time. Then on the second lap there was a bottleneck on another hill. I actually had to push my bike up the last 20 feet on that lap but I got through. There were a lot of bikes out there today, a good turnout. I have to thank my sponsors Beaver Dam Kawasaki, Culvers of Mauston, Dells Speedway Park, Sletten Pest Management, Raintree Window Cleaning, Pirelli, AXO, Scott Goggles, EVS, IMS, Acerbis, Alpinestars, DC Graphics, and Chris at CMJ Raceway. Also a big thanks to my teammate Carley Whitehorse for all her work setting our team up.” Promoter/ racer Erdmann later said “The day went great; we had a good rider and spectator turnout. I think everybody really enjoyed it. The course was pretty brutal but it was definitely a fun day. This was my first time racing in the woods and I think I faired pretty good. I crashed a lot but I kept trucking along. When he said one lap left all I could think was, YES. Brian set up a great course because it offered some breathing room when you got tired. When you got into those woods it was brutal. I mean rocks, trees and roots. There was some natural terrain out there I didn’t know we had, it was amazing. We have our

+50 class winner Duane Eller.

next event July 4th, an MX for bikes and quads with an open practice on the third. Hope to see everyone come out and have a great time”. The day turned out to be perfect for racing as the weather held out and everyone got a good look at the newest riding facility in District 16. From the comments by all the riders Sugar Maple MX is going to be on their calendars in the future.

McCabe perfect at Fun Valley Montezuma, Iowa - May 1, 2 By Mark D. Bonnell Photos by Missi Thede

edar Rapid’s Kurt McCabe again proved that he has mastered Fun Valley Moto-X’s unique racing circuit by sweeping every moto he entered on both days of racing near Montezuma, Iowa. McCabe didn’t get every holeshot, but he was always near the front and he never spent a lot of time making his way into the lead. Once there, McCabe was consistently able to put a few seconds a lap on the field, and hold on for the moto win. In Saturday’s 250A class moto one, it was Bobby Hanson who was out front as the riders thundered around the first corner and along the hillside leading to the second turn. Just behind and to the outside of Hanson were Randy Hanson, Chaz Braden and Kody Pirie. McCabe was able to get up to fifth place by the top of the hill. McCabe stayed lower over the uphill doubles and was able to get on the gas sooner making his way past Pirie just before entering the rhythm section on the very top of the hill. While this was going on, Braden managed to move past Randy Hansen and into second as the riders jumped down the ski-jump. At the end of the first lap, Bobby Hanson was out front. Braden was next past the scorers with McCabe less than a second behind him. Ty Tyrell was in fourth with Randy Hansen and Pirie right behind. McCabe set his sights on Braden as the riders made their way towards the upper portion of the course. As the fans watched the riders fly over the uphill double jumps, McCabe made the pass for second place over the triple at the top of the course. McCabe made a move on Hanson going into the second turn at the beginning of lap three. He was able to make it work and found himself in the lead at the top of the hill. At the finish it was McCabe with a solid ten second win. Bobby Hanson was able to hang on for a solid sec-

ond place ahead of Braden. Randy Hanson and Pirie rounded out the top five. McCabe got a much better start when 250A left the line for their second moto, and was the clear leader by the time the group neared the top section of the track. Bobby Hanson also had a good start, but soon found himself on the ground as he and Tyrell somehow got together. Randy Hansen and Pirie both took advantage of the situation as the pair was in fourth and fifth at the top of the hill. As the riders finished their first lap, McCabe already had a five second lead on Braden. Pirie and Randy Hanson had a great race going for third, making it exciting for the fans. Hanson would get along side Pirie going into the corners and Pirie would seem to be smoother out of the corners. This went on for the remainder of the moto. At the finish McCabe crossed the line with a fifteen second lead. Braden was next to cross ahead of Pirie, who managed to fend off Randy Hanson’s last lap effort. Bobby Call about Hansen rounded out our great deals the top five. McCabe had challenges from Tyrell and Braden in the Open A Class on Saturday and Sunday. Bobby Hanson and Colin Hickman made McCabe earn his
