Wagner wins Montrose MX
By Andy Morton
MONTROSE, NC, JAN. 26
The action started off hot at Montrose Moto-X
Park with Mark Wagner taking top honors in
the 125cc Pro class.
Chuck Shirley rounded the first right-hand
sweeper of the first moto in the number~one
position with Mark Wagner close by in second.
Behind them were Chris Wagner and Paul
Blackwelder, respectively. Not present was Troy
Brewer, who was in the pits repairing his CRl25,
which had seized up in the practice session. This
left the others to battle it out for the cash.
Before the hard-charging foursome could
reach the fourth tum, Mark Wagner had uncharacteristically fallen in the Montrose sand and
Chris Wagner had taken the lead. With a hardcharging Shirley on his tail, Chris was only able
to maintain the lead for the firstlap.
By lap two, Shirley was pulling a good lead
while second place was being fought for by the
two Wagners. Yamaha pilot Mark Wagner, on a
mission to catch the now-distant Shirley, was
holding the throttle wide open at all costs. The
price happened to be another downed rider.
By the end of the first moto, Mark Wagner
had fallen three times and Shirley had taken an
easy victory with Chris Wagner, Mark Wagner
and Paul Blackwelder filling out the top four
spots.
The second moto was a new lineup. Absent
were Shirley and Chris Wagner, who finished
first and second in moto one. Shirley was bitten
by the uphill whoop section in the 250cc Pro
class while Wagner took a shot in the Over 25 A
class.
.
This made things interesting for the remaining riders. And if this wasn't enough change,
Troy Brewer was now ready to tangle with the
remaining 125cc Pro class.
Mark Wagner took the holeshot with Blackwelder second and Brewer third. At the halfway
mark on the first lap, Brewer had passed both
riders for first place with the other two close
behind. But Brewer's bad luck continued as his
Honda seized again before lap's end, leaving
Wagner·with the lead, the moto win, the overall
win and the cash.

Hann Hot at Milwaukee AX
By Ray Woods
MILWAUKEE, WI, FEB. 9
Outside the temperatures hovered around 20
degrees, but inside the Mecca Center in Milwaukee Wisconsin, the race action was very hot as
CTI-backed Thomas Hann out of Belpree,
Kansas, ran away from the competition en route
to the overall win in the 60cc (7-11) division at
the 11th round of the Mike Kidd/PJ1 National
Arenacross series.
The field of 32 riders was whittled down tn
15 for the main event through three qualifiers,
transferring the top three directly to the main
event, and two semi qualifiers that saw an additional three riders from each go to second-row
starts for the main. Hann dominated the third
qualifying heat, which was also the fastest, giving him gate pick for the main over first-quaIifier winner Kody Molitor and second-qualifier
winner TuI Racing's Justin Kelly.
The final Iin.eu.p for the 60cc class included
some of the fastest minibike riders in the Midwest as once again Hann ripped the holeshot
followed closely by Thor-sponsored Will Hicks
from Dewitt, Michigan. Hicks fought hard to
stay with Hann through the whoops, but Hann
was impressive as he doubled and tripled his
way through, stretching his lead every lap.
On the second pass through the whoops,
Hicks bobbled slightly, giving Molitor the
advantage he needed for the pass at the end of
this very tricky section. For the next three laps
these two battled back and forth until Hicks got
sideways in the double-double section. giving
Molitor enough brea thing room to secure second. At the flag a very strong Hann took the win
over Molitor and Hicks with Robert Lo.ire and
Justin Kelly rounding out the top five.
Hann went on to win the 85cc (7-11) class
over Kody Molitor, Chris Riesenbu.rg, Larry
Klinger and Justin Kelly. Another multiple class
winner and arenacross tough guy was Nick Metcalf, who took top honors in the 125cc Open,
250cc Open and 250cc Intermediate. Only a second-place finish in thel25cc Intermediate class
spoiled his perfect day.
