sell, and Lana Karnow and Kimberly Kocher. Cantrell slithered her way past Reed into fourth. Though Cantrell had gated poorly, she consistently put in some of the fastest laps. Raemisch and Keuntjes continued to hammer the track and each other, oblivious to the battles raging behind them. Cantrell now had Hodges in her sights, and she pulled out all the stops, swapping through the slime in a desperate attempt to nip Hodges at the flag. It was not to be; as Cantrell was climbing up Hodges' exhaust as the two hit the final table-double-double, Cantrell made a small error, giving Hodges the breathing room she needed to nail third. Reed slipped back to fifth after getting cross-rutted on the final lap, followed by Whitehouse, Veltre, Karnow and Russell, who settled their battle in the waning moments of the race. Kocher rounding out the top 10. With no letup in the downpour, moto two became a quest for survival. By now, the track was a virtual quagmire; riders sloshed their way around a track covered with two feet of watered-down mud. The conditions were so bad, goggles were tossed and motors sucked so much water that many quit all together. Raemisch got the holeshot, with Keuntjes running tandem. Reed was running third, with Hodges fourth and Russell rounding out the top five. Cantrell got another dismal start, with Whitehouse, Veltre, Karnow and Kocher in tow. Few passes were attempted, as the primary goal was just to finish. Despite a very sick motor, Cantrell caught and passed Russell for fifth at halfway. Karnow dropped Veltre a notch on the following lap. The finish order remained the same, with Raemisch taking the checkers over Keuntjes, Reed, Hodges and Cantrell. Raemisch was beaming following the race. "I won today ... My left knee is screwed up, but the track today was pretty much all right turns," joked Raemisch, who took the overall in the Amateur division. "Once 1 get strong enough, I hope to ride Pro, but for now, this gives me a big confidence boost." Keuntjes, by virtue of her runner-· up finishes, took the Pro-class win over Reed and Veltre. "I just wanted to ride smart and safe in these conditions," said Keuntjes. "I could have passed Kirsten, but it would have been really risky." eN Henll1lclc Cycle Peril lJc:lIle, Florida Results: Much 4, 2001 [Round 11 PRO: l. Angie Keuntjes (KllIw); 2.
