(Below left) Team Green's Brock Sellards (10) t oo k top honors In the 125cc A class In Sugar Grove, Ohio, but not without a fight from local rider Josh Demuth (328), Sellards sails at Sugar Grove Motocross By Rupert F. Pellett SUGAR GROVE, OH,M~ Y18 Tea m Green ' s Brock Sellards was the ma n to beat at this Central Ohio motocr oss course as he dominated the 125cc A clas s and then took a stro ng seco nd be hin d fellow Kaw asaki pilo t Vince Karnow in the 250cc A divis ion. Though Sellards won the 12Seeclass overall, it wasn't without a fight as local riders Josh Demuth • fresh off the supercross series - and Chris Berry offered fierce competition. In B-class action it was the Honda of Mark Burkhart out front in all four motos of the 125 and 250cc events, as he wou ld sweep the class and seemingly keep up his reputati on as the East Coast's fastest amateur. The beau tifu l, ba lmy we ather and fine track were agreeable to Veteran-class rider Mike Morgan. as he destroyed the competition in the Over 25 and Over 30 divisions aboard his VZ25O.
