motorcycle over the log at one time. From the photos we seen at least three at a time! Determination, commitment, and desire sounds like the right terms to describe these guys. The Thumper class is made up of a bunch of guys that like to race/ play on 150cc or less air cooled machines. Fox Valley Cycles’ John Conley and RCR's Nick Blacklaw have battled many times. Today was no different, Conley passing Blacklaw on the log. Next lap Blacklaw returns the favor with a little look back. Bet the fun will continue next month. Vince Ternes rocked the big C class. Not to mention his finish line log stuff which could be darn near a "circus" act over the log. He managed to save it a few times, not all the time. Ternes rode a strong race and did well as the highest finishing C class rider in the morning group. Other very strong notables in the C classes, Mason Schuhler, Jacob McCarrens, rode to top fifteen overall. Afternoon big bikes had a run-a-way with Kyler Vance just railing the first lap to get a lead he would never yield. Cody Bollinger, the hero from the last FVOR event started way back, banging out lap after lap to reel in his competition. By the end of the first hour he had came from twelfth to the top four. Vance still holding a commanding lead,
left only Travis Ward and Matt Dissell in Bollinger's way. Ward did a fairly high speed get off around the top field and Dissell did a little tip over to give up their positions to the charging Bollinger. Grant Bodmer ran a solid strong race finishing second in the A class, and fifth overall. Up and comer Riley Schuhler along with his brother Nolan hammered out some really strong laps and well Riley was the top B rider in the afternoon group. His lap times not far off the A class range. Next up at Fox Valley Off Road, District 17 and District 16 co-point race in July. Hit up the website for information. Today's race went well on a flowing course, and with a schedule that went smoothly.
