COLORADO SPRINGS, CO SEPT. 6
,
Aztec Family Raceway hosted round seven of the
Rocky Mounta in Mot ocr oss Ass ocia tion's Summ er Series, wh ere a co u ple of G ary Se mics
Motocross School-sponso red riders got down to
wo rk and claimed overa ll wins in their respective
classes. Matt Karlsen cruised to victory aboard
his GSMXS/ Maxima /Ceet-sponsored Yamaha in
the 16- to 24-year-<>ld Combined class, while F&S
Suzuki /GSMXS/Xtreme Kolor s-backed Kevin
Hall roc keted his RMI25 to a .-1 fini sh in the
12.5cc A class and finished a very respectable second on his RM250 to Sun Gty, California's D0nald Upton in the 250cc A class.
The first moto in the 16- to 24-year-<>ld class
got u n der way w it h H .H . H u ff In c./ FAST
Rep air /MX Pho tog raphy-sponso red Kirk Huff
gra bbing the holeshot and jumping out to a 10bike-length lead by lap two. Karlsen held down
seco nd bu t was under pressu re from Colorado
Motorspo rts / Slavens / FMF-backed David Gon za les in third. Huff ' s d ialed-in Yamah a pulled
the othe r riders o n th e u phill sect ion an d he
maintained his lead th rou gh out the race. Boulder Yamaha /Fox/ GSMX5-backed Bobby Fitch
moved up from his fifth-place sta rt and made a
pa ss for th ird on GonzalL'S following the sand
section. Karlse n conti nued. to work on Hu ff and
he cut the ma rgi n to a cou ple of seco nd s. With
Fitch moving.up on Karlsen, the three front-runners ro u nded the circuit, eac h wa iti ng for th e
slightest bobb le by the others. Karlse n stuffed
his fro nt end in a soft comer preceding the sand '
sectio n, a llowing Fi tc h to m ove to withi n a
w heel's len gth . With on e lap to go , Karlsen
moved alon gside Huff in a race to the finish . The
two launched over th e uphill doubles side by
side, with Fitch in tow and Gonzales in fourth,
five second back. Blitzing the downhill section
s
three wid e, Huff inched ahead just eno ugh to
get through the two fmal comers cleanly for the
a dvantage and the win. In th e la s t co rne r,
Karlsen d ived to the inside and Fitch to the o utside . The two banged bars, with Karlsen holding
on to the position. Fitch finished third , Gonzales
was fourth a nd Krause Racing /Rocky Mountain
Cycle Plaza 's Clint Tellett was fifth.
H ol e shot honors i n m o to two we n t to
Karlsen, with Gonzales, Huff, Ma tth e w Wh itmarsh and Fitch following. Hu ff appeared to be
a threat as he pull ed u p alongside Gonza les on
th e uphill sectio n but , as the two entered the
tight le ft -hander befor e their d escent, Huff
clipped Gonzales' rear w heel a nd high-sided to
the d irt. Fitch qu ickly pa ssed Wh itm ar sh and
began to wo rk on Gon zales al so . As Huff
climbed back up to sixth, Whitmarsh and Tellett
battl ed for fourth. Ka rlsen, Go nza les and Fitch
railed the circuit wheel to w heel with only a second separating each. Wit h two laps remaining,
Fitch too k over second an d began an assa ult on
th e lead er . Time pl ayed a factor, however, as
Karlsen held on for the win , with Filch flying in
a second la te r. Yama has swe p t the to p three
podium positi on s, w ith Ka rlsen cli nc hi ng the
overa ll and Fitch second . Hu ff, w ho mounted a
. valiant effort by chargi ng from last up to fourth ,
claimed third overa ll. Gonza les and Whi tmarsh
rounded out the top five.
