Illinois resident and Husqvarna pilot Charles Deutscher grabbed the holeshot, sur· prising many in the Expert class. Hall's Husky·backed Deutscher was followed closely by Grooves Motorsports' Bryan Dunlap and O'Neal/Torco/Pirelli·backed Aaron Wegner. The rest of the pack followed. Corey Calkins and Lansing Cycle·backed Leonard Keen col· Iided, both testing Michigan's muddy soil. The series points leader, Klotz/Enduro """Engineer· ing/Answer~backed Corey Parlin, was mired in the pack. By the halfway mark, Parlin had moved toward the front. Parlin, Deutscher and Wegner all swapped positions a number of times. On the final journey around the track, Parlin took the lead, which he would not relinquish. Deutscher finished 10 seconds behind Parlin, with the fast· charging Dunlap less than 30 seconds down, in third place. Yamaha·mounted Wegner finished fourth, followed by first·turn casualty Keen. KTM 250 pilot Thom Jonckheere topped all non~Experts, finishing sixth overall. Throwing a lot of roost from the start was the Open class. Yamaha YZ426F·mounted Mike Mason grabbed the early lead, was followed by College Bike Shop's Brett McCoy and Oakland Sport Center's Thom Enzor. Riders in this class claimed the big~bores railed the many tricky hills and roosted through many of the knee· deep ruts. McCoy pitted just after the hour mark and led for the remainder of the day. Mason finished second, and Enzor came across the line in third. Steven Dennis was fourth, followed by District 14 points keeper James Smith. "You know, I don't think I could have lasted three hours today." McCoy commented. "My goal today was to conserve my points lead and not lose too much to Mason today." Results O/A: I. Corey Parlin; 2.

Conspicuously absent from the racing was the ever-dominant Leonard Mellgren, who was nursing an injury after high-siding in a 125cc race the prior weekend. Stepping in to help fill the void, Jason Van Slyke raced five classes, earning two firsts, two sevenths and one fourth in the overall standings. Aaron Hammel, Synergy Racing Technolo· gy's ace mechanic, is proving that he is more than just a pretty wrench by being as quick on a bike as he is under one. Hammel walked away with both legs of the Expert 80cc GP race, leaving Moritaka Kina, Ben Morse and Jon Schendel to ponder his moves in second, third and fourth, respectively. Hammel has racked up three overall wins in his last four outings, and he even managed a third-place finish on his 80 in the Formula Three 1250c race. Continuing to be the dominant class, the Veteran Stockers came in 29 strong, providing good racing action at nearly every pojnt on As America's only week11_~otorcycle publication, we're the only thing you get thal you even realize IS late!
