Ufimzeff zaps Sandusky Valley Motocross By Carl Davis TIFFIN, OH, MAY 2 Ben Ufimzeff motored to impressive double moto wins, claiming the overall victory in the 125cc Intermediate class at the Sandusky Valley Riders Club season-opening event. A nearrecord crowd of spectators watched as a large turnout of riders took advantage of primo weather conditions to get a jump on the points race. A slightly revised track layout greeted the riders for the 1999 racing season. Ulimzeff did not gate well at the beginning of either mota, but he made quick work of the competition, moving through the pack within a couple of laps in both motos. In moto onc, it was ick Salarid absconding with the holeshot and leading the pack through the first turn into the tabletop-jump section 01 the track. Chuck Gekle buzzed his Suzuki past Salardi, with Ufirnzeff £lying behind him. Ufimzefl made a quick move past Gekle to take the lead, but Gekle kept it close for a lap. Meanwhile, Silardi was holding a steady th.ird and Denny Beard a solid fourth, finishing moto one in that order. . In moto two, Kevin Sleek took the early lead, with Ulimzelf, Gekle and SHardi on the move behind him. Ulimzelf again took control of the mota lead very quickly and established a decent lead. GekJe got by Sleek, but Ufimzeff was.long gone on his YZI25. Silardi also moved up a notch, ending the moto and sewing up the overall order. Brad Hohenbrink put last year's pelvis injury behind him to win the 12Sec ovice class, which was the largest and one of the most competitive classes of the day. Main Street Powersports-sponsored Hohenbrink was on the gas and he motored away from the pack. Doug Beardsley took second overall, "",:ith Chuck Szymczak taking the third spot. Results 50 (4-6): 1.
