Dreyercycle.com Midwest Motocross Championship by Maxima Midway Motosports Park . Baker Takes It By MARK BUCHANAN MITCHELL, IN, JULY 7-8 idway Motorsports Park hosted the inaugural Dreyercycle.com Midwest Motocross Championship presented by Maxima, which featured a special format for Amateur motocross with 30-minute-plus-one, lap motos for the 125cc A, Heavy A and Open Four-Stroke classes, instead of the normal five-lap motos. The remaining A and B classes ran 20-minute-plus-one-lap motos, with the Youth and C classes running 10 to 15 minutes plus a lap. Because of the lengthy motos, the first set of motos was run on Saturday and the second on Sunday. With temperatures in the 90s and high humidity, the longer motos really tested the riders' endurance. Jeff Baker dominated the 125cc A and Heavy A classes, winning three out of four motos on a Fox/Dreyer Cycle Yamaha.
