POLO, IL JUNE i
,
The Rock River Riders held their first hillcl imb
01 1998 on their 140-loot hill. The club added a
new br eaker a t th e 6O-loot level, ad d ing a bit
m orc of a cha llenge to the al ready ro u gh and
steep hill.
Brent Stewart from Ga lva, Illinois, was the
fastest in the amateu r por tion of th e program,
blasting over the top in 3.245 seconds on his Jackson Per fonnance KTM38O. Stewart's extra ordinary.
rid e ca me in seco nd~ rou nd action in th e 400cc
class. He need ed it to overtake Paul Hackbarth,
who had ca rd ed a fine 3.72o-se cond run on a
VZ400Fborrowed from Marc Stamm and was the
class leader at intermission. Iowan Jerome Beckley
put his VZ40QF over in 3.%2 seconds; he was the
only other rider in the class to break the lour __-
ond mark. Mike Millan:l and Josh Hovey, both riding YZ400Fs, finished lourth and fifth. The last
time was Stewart's first in 1998, but it probably
won't be his last- he claimed three in 1997.
Stewart came clos e to a d ouble win as he
tu rned a fine 3.790 seconds on his Jackson Perlonnance Yamaha on his first ride in the 250cc
class, only to see Indianapolis rider Mark Goodma n Jr. slip under him an d take the lead with an
even faster 3.782-second run. In second -rou nd
action, Stewart stopped the clocks in 3.564 seconds to take a momenta ry le a d , but you ng
Goodman met hi s ch a llenge wi th a blazin g
3.551-second run on his KX2SO to ed ge Stewart
by only sev en-thousa nd ths 01 a seco nd for th e
class win. Kev in Cappello was the o nly ot her
rider in the class to break int o the threes wi th a
3.915-5econd run on his KX250.
Good ma n also claim ed the 200cc-class win
with a good 4.395-secon d run on hi s KX125,
overtaking Becky Williams, who took the class
lead into th e br eak with a good 4.701-second
rid e on h er KX125 . Gle n n Fuegen pu t h is
KDX200 over in 4.846 seconds for thi rd place,
with his budd y Jerom e Beckley close behin d him
on his KDX in 4.886 seconds . Fred Tom s, also
KDX-mountcd, rounded ou t the top five with a
5.219-second run.
The North rup br others, Jason an d Kalc b,
rod e thr ee bikes in th ree classes a nd claimed all
three win s. Getting to the climb late d ue to their
p lane's late arri val on their return from Hawa ii,
the Northrups we re given only one rid e in each
class, bu t they mad e the most of them. [aso n was
first to go and rode his Spo rtland CRSOO in the
600cc class, flyin g over the top in 3.268 seco nds
to take the class win.
As soon as he finis hed his 600cc ride , Jason
brought his ToOcc "Ho ndasaki" triple to the line
with its center cylinde r smoking and launc hed it
over the breaker. The mid d le cylinder blew as he
touched down from his jump, but his mo mentum was such that he still flew over the top in a
class-win nin g 3.486 seco nds .
Kaleb Northrup learned from his T:>Occ ride , in
which he finished second alter a big wheelie, and
delivered a near-perfect run on his Triumph in the
Pushrod class to take the win in 3283 seconds.

luck to smoke the Junior Cycle (9-11) class at a
