The second molD appeared ID be a carboncopy
of the first, with Loire and Geilenfeldt setting a
blistering pace, and the same riders battling for
the bronze. Hoffman finished third on the podium
for the molD and ovetaIl, followed by Chad Early
and a calSistent Jackson.
•
To no one's surprise, Torque Center/Sportland 2/Silkolene-backed Eron Ezerins holeshot
and led both motos of the 125ccA class from
start to finish, coming off of a good performance
at the Red Bud National in Michigan the prior
weekend. Daniel Heidle and Young
America/Torque Center-<;ponsored Jason Warner both had moto totals of six, with Heidle having the beller second-moto finish and overall
runner-up position. Young America/Team 2
rider Ryan DeGroot was running in second during the first moto with Ezerins in his sights, until
exiting with mechanical problems. Kawasaki
rider Chet Hodges' impressive second-place finish in the first moto was offset by a lackluster
seventh in moto two, only good enough for
fourth overall.

Willard wild at Sunday Creek
Motocross
By Rupert F. Pellett
MILLFIELD, OH, JUNE 29-30
Nine-year-old Michael Willard completely dominated the 65cc (7-9) division at this Loretta
Lynn's Regional Qualifier, sweeping three
straight motos on his way ID the overall win.
Over 400 riders turned out at this south central Ohio motocross course, and 85-degree
weather was tamed with a brisk wind the entire
weekend, which made conditions bearable.
Track owner Jeff Russell applied massive
amounts of water, and dust was never a concern, even with the large turnout and warm temperatures.
In the first 65 (7-9) moto, Willard quickly
established his presence by jumping out to an
early lead, leaving a fieee battle behind him
involVing D.R. Atwood and Kyle Preston.
Willard would eventually acquire a massive
lead at the end, leaving the field to finish the
race as he enjoyed a cool drink. The second
moto saw Willard experience a poor start, and
Michigan's Josh Lichtle got himseU a small lead
before Willard woke up, attacked the track, stole
the lead and ultimately stormed away for the
win. The third and final moto on Sunday afternoon was all Willard as he charged to the checkers once again, easily posting the overall and
earning his ticket to Tennessee.
The a1ways-competitive 51cc (7.,ll) class was
a virtual Cobra-fest, as over 30 of the 44 entered
machines were yellow bikes, and the Ohio-made
rockets were offered no competition from the
seemingly underpowered opposition. New
York's Jay Welle.r was the man to beat in this
class, as he pushed his venomous Cobra to two
wins and a second place, clinching the overall,
which means a third trip to the Nationals for
this youngster from the Empire State.
Former Canadian, now Georgia resident
Derrick Fisher was unstoppable in the 85cc
Stock (7-11) division, as he won handily on his
Suzuki, beating the likes of fellow SuzuJti pilots
Mall Barnes and Anthony Weber. The 85cc
Modified (9-13) class belonged to Team Green's
Jeff Gibson, as the Westerville, Ohio, native simply mastered the 1.2-mile circuit to take the
overall.
