Wisconsin's speedster Dave Ottel took his DGY sponsored Suzuki's to
the top of both the 125 and 250 expert classes on a clear and finally cool
Saturday evening. In 125 main Ottel and Nielsen sponsored Junior Jackson
had a back and forth battle for three laps, as in the bank turns Ottel
would try to under cut Jackson time and time again. Later in the moto Jackson
got a littlehigh and Ottel took the inside line, Jackson thinking that
a quick over and under move would try to take back the lead only
to miss by that proverbial inch and catch his front tire on Ottel's rear
tire, Jackson soil sampled. Banzai Racing's Speedster Tommy Hofmaster was
right in the thick of things when Junior went down Tommy took over the
second position and was knocking on Ottel's door. Brad Jerominski had his
Kaw humming and with Greg Braet in tow wouldn't let any of the front runners
outa sight.
On lap 6 Hofmaster's 125 decides to lunch and Brad and Greg move up
to get into podium position. Last lap, Jackson has been running hard after
the earlier miscue and from dead last has got to fourth, in the last whoops
section before the finish line
double, step up, Junior puts a killer inside move on Braet and takes
third! Less then 50 feet separated 1st through 6th at the finish.
Junior still can catch good air! | Tommy sets up for a corner in the air! | Eron goin to the high line! |
Tom Hofmaster wasn't going to go home empty handed on this nite, taking the holeshot in the 250 expert class and skimming the first set of doubles like they didn't exist. Eron Ezrons and his Banzai Suzuki got a rare but good second in the hole shot and kept the hard charging Ottel at bay til the checkers. Greg Braet finished fourth and Brad Jerominiski took the fifth.
Taking advantage of situations is always a critical point to motocross
racing. Tonight was no exception as with Junior's 250 not recovered from
Buffalo Range and the July 5th race, Eron gave a lesson in why bigger is
better! Eron's 250 was to much for Junior on his 125 in the 25+ class.
Junior rode hard and tried to make up the time but with the faster Megacross
track this season it was to no avail. Service Honda rider Burton Lavens
tried to take advantage of the small cc's also but Jackson kept the
corner speed to a blistering pace and would not let anyone one else
by. Megacross regulars in the past, Paul Young and Bill Vivano made the
trek up from St Louis area to take fourth and sixth.
In other action, Pro Source's Rusty Ott, had his thumper pounding the
ground hard and stayed ahead of Rider's Choice's Dave Pucharich in the
35+ class. Another Pro Source Rider Mike Yenrich took the third. Service
Honda Rider Roy Bitner finished
fourth.
Like to thank all that attended the series this season, don't forget
the Megacross Championship/Rider appreciation
event on July 31st! It comes with a free T-shirt to every rider, and also
a cool dash plaque. Double Megacross points and some real nice things to
give away for riders and spectators.
