By Malt Freeman
VlcrDRVlLLE, CA. FEB. 14
The Green Tree Inn in VictorviUe, California,
was packed with bodies on Valentine's Day, but
not only because of Cupid. More than 450 sponsors, racers and family members packed the
high-desert inn's banquet room to honor District
37's top riders for the 1997 racing year. Food,
drinks, prizes, dancing and hundreds of awards
graced the evening as the staff of the Green Tree
Inn worked overtime to keep the crowd happy.
District 37 president Jim Geddes served as
the master of ceremonies and, with the help of
other district officers, he raffled off $12,000 in
contingency prizes to those with lucky tickets.
Rocket Rex Racing, !MS, Kawasaki of Riverside,
FMF, White Brothers, Pro Circuit, Answer,
American Honda, Jart, KTM of Mojave, Fineline
Suspension, Terrycable, Cycle Concepts, Nationwide Cycle, Cycle Parts West and Dick Allen's
Yamaha/Honda/ATK/KTM all made generous
contributions to the plethora of prizes that were
. raffled off throughout the night. in addition to
al1 the industry products, a women's raffle was
held, with one of the most popular prizes being
a giant Ansel Adams photograph.
Hundreds of awards for the Desert, Grand
Prix, Enduro and Best of the West series were
given out to those who eamed top-10 numbers
in their respective classes. Some of the biggest
winners in attendance included Team Green's
Paul Krause, who earned the number-one Open
plate in the Desert and Grand Prix divisions;
Abe Baumann accepted top honors for the Vet
Open Grand Prix, Desert and Best of the West
divisions; Anna Cody received Desert and
Grand Prix honors for topping the Women's
divisions; and Donnie Morrison won the Overall
Best in the West trophy. The Overall Enduro
Championship went to Erik Mattson, who outrode, outscored and outsmarted the enduro
competition all year.
In addition to the plaques and trophies given
out for racing, the prestigious awards of Sportsman and Sportswoman of the Ye'ar were handed
out. Of the several nominees, district legislative
officer Dave Oakleaf won Sportsman of the Year
for his efforts to keep two-stroke competition in
the desert. The Sportswoman of the Year award
went to Veteran Steward Michelle Cassella, who
has been one of District 37's most active members over the past few years both as a racer and
as a board member. Cassella was also awarded
with the Best in the West and Enduro nlimberone plates in the Women's division.
"We obviously need to expand for our
awards banqu·et next year," said Cassella about
the huge turnout for this year's ceremony. "We
