BOULDER, CO, NOV. 21
The '1998 motocross season officially came to a
close in Colorado as the Rocky Mountain
Motocross Association hosted its annual yearend Summer Series Awards presentation and
party at the Lazy Dog Sporls Grill. Wes Hale
walked away with Rider of the Year and firstplace honors in the 250cc A class.
A custom-tailored menu offered a variety of
dinner selections and, while a wide array of
video games and pool tables kept the younger
motocrossers entertained, big-screen televisions
aired tl,e latest in big-air motocross videos for
everyone's dining pleasure. Following dinner
and the election of 1999 RMXA board members
into office, the awards presentation commenced,
and recipients in each individual class received
their honors.
Double class winners included Ricky LaMontagne in the 50cc (7-11) and 50cc Open
classes, and Adam Schafroth in the 125cc C
and Open Beginner classes. Kirk Huff
approached the stage tl1ree times, as he accepted honors in the 16- to 24-year old Combined,
250cc Band 250cc Sportsman classes. The
Hiser family also got on the podium twice, as
Blaine took home honors the 60cc (6-8) class
and Lance accepted the championship in the
Super Mini class.
The big winIler was Wes Hale, as he claimed
winning honors in the 2SOcc A class and secondplace honors in the 125cc A class, and was voted
