City-sponsored Shaggy Young kicked off the
2001 ice·racing season on a high note by winning the Open
Novice class during
the opening round
of the DTRA-promated ice races,
held at CJ's Resort
on Rush Lake.
Some talented riders supplied the
race fans with a full
day of dramatic
racing action.

score a popular win.
"That's the first ice-race win of my

In the Over 40 main event, Larson's
Cycle Supply's Mark Deal was out front in
and appeared to have things well in hand,
but on the last lap, Deal slid wide in turns
three and four, allowing Dan Zitur to slide
by for the win. The 250cc Novice winner,
John Monroe, finished a solid third.
The Over 30 final started out to be
another classic battle between Duluth, Minnesota's Jeff Berg and Deal. On the second
lap, however, Berg crashed his 10<500 in
front of Deal while leading the race. Deal
checked up to avoid hitting his fallen rival,
allowing Steve Johnson and Scott Williams
to move into first and second - with a huge
margin to boot. Deal recovered and gave
chase; he caught and passed Williams
three laps later and reeled in Johnson
shortly afterward but came up a bike's
length short at the line. Steve Ahlers and
Jondal rounded out the top five.
