J&K Raceway Green Day at Midwest Minis By MAlT DRAPER TRUESDALE, lA, SEPT. 2 Kawasaki domination was the order of the day at the sixth annoal Midwest Junior Motocross Championships. Team Green teammates Teddy Maier and Cody Gilmore each won three titles, whjle another went to Tuf Racing Kawasaki's Ricky Draper. The event, which grows bigger every year, continues to attract top riders from all over the Midwest. The Open classes were conducted using a single-mota, time-plus-two-Iaps format, while all other classes used traditional mota-mot%verall scoring. The event also featured a unique format that allowed riders to enter in the next- higher age bracket, malting for full gates and some great racing.

"The level of talent and rider entries increases each year. It's great to be able to showcase the talent here in this part of the country. I think we have some up·and-comers here." Steady rain on Saturday night made things a bit interesting and slick for the Sunday practice sessions, but the heroic efforts of the track crew and race organizers provided a perfectly loamy and tacky circwt for the entire day. In addition to the seven titles won by Kawasaki riders, Mjnnesota's Elliott Kastner snagged two titles. The KTM-mounted speedster dominated the 65cc (6-9) class and held off a brilliant late-race charge by Nebraska's Dalton Jones in the 65cc Open class. In that race.

Kastner took over and looked to be cruising through the rest of the 20-minute-plus-two-Iap finale. Jones picked up the pace on his KTM and caught Kastner with two laps to go. Kastner was able to cover his lines just enough to fend off Jones for the win. Iowa's Jacob Mosqueda was third. Maier and Gilmore were equally impressive, sweeping three classes each. For Gilmore, the going was a bit easier. With great starts all day, the Thor/Scott/Chrome Horsesponsored rider got out front early and relent~ lessly attacked the track. At times, it seemed as though Gilmore was battling lappers, pushing for entire motos and showing everyone why he is considered one of the nation's best. Gilmore's teammate had to work a little harder. The Troy Lee Designs-backed Maier, from Fort Dodge, Iowa, was involved in a cou- ple first-turn pileups and had to work through the pack. In the 125cc Open class, Maier dived sharply into the sandy, tight first tum. The lead As America's only weekly motorcycle publication, we're the only thing you gel that you even realize IS late!
