Ezerins aces at Aztalan MX By Anc:lrew 50 au_ LAKE MILLS, WI, AUG. 11 Coming off a top-10 finish in the 250cc A ModiHeel class at Loretta Lynn's Amateur National Championships in Tennesee, Eron Ezenns put his bike at the checkers first in four motos, en route to overall victories in both the 125cc A and 250cc A dasses at Aztalan. Ezerins grabbed the holeshot and led both motos of the 12Sce A from gate to checkers. However, hounding him in both motos and waiting for a mistake was the duo of Ryan De Groot and Jason Warner, who finished second and third, respectively, in both motos. tn moto two, Ezerins and DeG.root pulled away from the 16-rider 6eld, leaving a dogfight for third between Warner and Roy Naizger. Nafzger, one of the few ironmen riding three dasses, took seventh overall in the l25cc A, first overall in Veteran A, and fifth overall in the Over 25 Masters dass. The Over 25 Masters class had more riders than gates, making the drop of the gate and the 6rst tum crucial ~ponents in detennining the fastest most aggressive and most consistent riders. Bobby Raduenz powered his CR500 to 1-2 moto finishes and first overall, complementing a sixth overall in the Veteran A and second overall in the Open dass, joining Nafzg<:r in the elite ironman club. James Heilman took the Veteran A mot<>-one hol.eshot, followed by Roy Nafzger and Chuck Kingstad. Kingstad quickly dropped off the pace held by Nafzger, Heilman, Eriks Ezerins, Raduenz, Tim Bares and Todd Schmitz on a seemingly oUlpowered CRl25. After six laps of close racing and po.sition swapping, it was Nafzger, Schmitz, Bares and Heilman rounding out the top four at the checJ SUP: 1. Brian Birch Oaw); 2. Tom Wettel Oaw); 3.
