Wood wails at Waterford
Hillclimb Nationals
By Rose Parmeter
WATERFORD, OH, JULY 26-28
After a disappointing but respectable fifth-place
finish at the '95 Vouth National Amateur Championships, Mike Wood reclaimed the 500cc-class
title that belonged to him in '92 and '93, and succeeded witll a ride that easily won the class and
stood as the fastest ride of the event.
Wood sat in the top spot at the end of day
one after climbing the relatively short but
rugged incline in 5.781 seconds. On day two,
Rick Parmeter caught Wood with a 5.433, but
Wood looked confident as he waited through
some SO other riders to take his final shot. Wood
blasted out of the hole and launched pedectly
over the jump, then quickly continued to the
two-bulldozer-wide jump at the 12o-foot mark.
Temporarily leaving the planet, Wood flew high
above the hHi crew and then landed on the
much-steeper top of the hill and on through the
lights with an amazing 5.129-second ride, easily
winning the class with a time that held through
both the remaining 7SOcc and Open classes as
the fastest ride of the event.
In the 7SOcc class, top riders Rick Prebe and
Jay Parmeter were both looking for a five-and-ahalf-second ride, bu.t both succumbed to
mechanical problems and were forced to watch
while Dave Perrigo clocked a 6.246 with a ride
that looked like it would hold until Matt Nelson
lit up his orange machine and smoked an amazing 5.587 for the win. Perrigo finished second,
with Lloyd Haas in third. Prebe and Parmeter
got lucky, finishing with national number-four
and number-five finishes.
"Irs just beginners' luck," said Nelson, who
has been climbing .for only two years. He credited his success to his friends. "Mike Wood, Todd
Cipala, Bill Paider, and Ryan Peterson, all
national winners themselves, have taught me
the ropes and gave me the confidence I needed
to win," he said.
Gpala took the Open-class victory in his typical "do it right the first time" style. He led the
class on day one with a 6.459, and watched on
day two as 30 other riders tried unsuccessfully
to bust his time. Gary WaddeU make a quick trip
up the hiU, but his 6.918 was just good enough
for second place. Mike Bronk performed what
looked like a winning ride, but a hard landing
after a 5O-foot flight left Bronk grasping for his
throttle, and he was unable to recover in tim·e.
Cipala, riding his fast Harley only twice this
year, said, "It was a good year, a great year, and
if s a great bike."

while Jason Tyer thrilled spectators by taking
wins in both the 600cc Pro-Am and Open Amateur classes at the fifth annual Randy Cleek

The 2SOcc Pro-Am race began as Casey Burton, Joe Snyder and Mark Witham aU challenged
each other for the lead. The biggest move was
made by Ray Arnold, who sprang from sixth
position to third in a matter of three laps.

but didn't make the pass stick until the last lap.
Burton managed to hold off the charging Snyder
to take the victory.
In the 600cc Pro-Am class, last year's winner,
Scott Deubler, jumped the start and was sent
back to the penalty lineAljason Yager. got the
holeshot as Tyer, Nick Daniels and Deubler gave
chase. Vager and Tyer broke away from the pack
to settle the battle for first between themselves.
Yager led lap after lap until the very last lap,
when Tyer got momentum from turn four and
passed Vager inside at the line to steal the victory. Vager took second and Deubler in third after
a close race with Daniels.
The Open Amateur class was next, and Tyer
got tJ;te holeshot and took a wire-to-wire win.
Todd )Qtlier gave chase, but didn't have anything for Tyer and ended up in second. Taking a
lone third was Bryan CoUins.
In the 8Scc main, Carl Hickman grabbed the
holeshot and led flag to flag. Cody Humphrey,
Dusty Hening Jr. and Danny Eslick were
engaged in a three-way battle for the second
position. By lap four, Herring and Eslick's battle
for second left Humphrey behind, and at the
end it was Eslick in second as Herring's bike
began to act up and Ryan Cheatum and
Humphrey both passed him. Hickman took first,
second went to Eslick and Cheatum claimed
third.

Bagwill, Priputen hot
at CRC Motocross
By Greg Robertson
PALMDALE, CA, AUG. 10
Daniel Bagwill and Scott Priputen dominated
the 12Sec Beginner and Novice classes, respectively, during the Simi Honda-sponsored round
of California Racing Club's Saturday night
motocross racing, held at Los Angeles County
Raceway.
Bagwill jumped out to the early first 12Sec
Beginner moto lead over Masashi Motohashi
and August Culver. Justin Witcher came flying
up th{ough the pack in an attempt to run down
Bagwill, and the two front-runners quickly
pulled away from the others. Witcher kept Bagwill in Sight but had to settle for second at the
checkers.
Witcher got the jump on Bagwill when the
gate dropped in the second mota, but his lead
only lasted a half a lap before he went down in
the sand. With Witcher out of the way, Bagwill
easily distanced himself from the field for the
convincing win. Tyson Tittlemier he'Id down
second position up until the last lap, when he
was caught by Motohashi and Witcher. Witcher
and Motohashi passed Tittlemier and were sideby-side off the finish-line jump, with Witcher
getting the nod for second overall.
Priputen turned a couple of good starts into
a 1-1 sweep of the Novices. Wes Dell finished
second in the first mota and looked to repeat in
51
