MILLVILlE, MN, SEPT. 9
John Oehn combined luck and speed to claim
the ove..ll win in the Youth class via 2-1 finishes, in front of Fort Dodge, Iowa's Teddy
Maier, at round seven of the eight· round
Spring Creek Super Series. Some 415 riders
came out for some great race action.
Heavy rain on Saturday caused the cancellation of Saturday's open practice and made
things a little wet for the flfSt few motos on
Sunday, but once the moisture settled in,
track conditions were perfect the rest of the
day. Pepsi of Rochester stepped in to sponsor
the event, giving away numerous products to
racers.
With the new 2002 bikes coming out, and
as the district points race was over, there was
some switching of bikes and brands, and that
was certainly apparent in the Youth class.
Maier grabbed the holeshot on his KX, with
Dehn, on his Heinen and Mason-backed
Husky, in second in the I6-rider field. Maier
took the moto win after he led throughout,
with very little resistance from Dehn, who fell
by the finish line on lap two but easily
remounted and hung on to second place. At
the finish, it was Maier, then Dehn, with
Wausau, Wisconsin's Dan Weinkauf in third on
a YZ, and Iten Chev and RV/Extreme Graphics/Pro Circuit's John DeOtis fourth on a
brand-new CR 125. In fifth place was Jason
Johnson, now on a Husky 125.
In mota two, Maier had some problems on
the course, and this allowed Oehn the opportunity to get both the moto and the overall
wins. Maier had to settle for second both in the
mota and overall. Weinkauf and DeOtis were a
consistent third and fourth again. Braden
Parks of Spencer, Iowa, took fifth in this moto
after pulling his coolant-leaking YZ off the
course in mota one and scoring a DNF.
This year's District 23 Over 25 A champion, Mike Luoma, won another battle over
friendly rival Bill Medek after they went toe to
toe in the district sedes and are now going toe
to toe in the Super Series points battle. The
outcome in the Super Series will be decided at
the: next round. At this round, Luoma scored
the overall win, going 1-1 on his
LCR/MSRfTMR CR125. Robert Halstead took
second in moto one on his GPS Racing/Out·
door 'n' More CR250, with Medek third, Todd
Ellingson of Wisconsin Rapids fourth, and
Cody Bennett fifth.
Moto two had Medek second, behind
Luoma, with Ellingson third, Matt Blaiser
fourth after a first-moto DNF, and Bill Tilford
fifth after an eighth-place first-moto finish.

RIVERSIDE, CA, SEPT. 9
The day dawned cool, with the sun low in a
clear blue sky; but where did all this water
come from? It was like an "Ancient Mariner"
thing - water, water everywhere. An overnight
water-main break had done the deed, leaving
tum one unridable for the second of back-toback race dates for the Califomia Motorcycle
Road Racing Association at Adams Kart
Track. Therefore, the track was shortened,
using a tight, flat, 180 turn just past the
start/finish line, which added a little more
craziness to the starts.
Ben Morse retumed to Adams to repeat his
hat trick of the previous month. Morse once
again went way underchallenged to take decisive wins in Expert Formula GP, Veteran Modified and Expert 80cc GP competition, taking a
serious lellid in the title chase for those classes.
The race action was fierce - almost brutal
at times - with many riders going down. Fortunately, no serious injuries were sustained. Out
of all this action, the Amateur 80cc GP stood
out, with the hairiest move of the day. In the
moming race, Shawn Igercic beat the pack
through the "impromptu" turn one on his
unique four-stroke YSR hybrid, closely pursued by Mike Kelly, with Bill Lawless and Jeff
Jones in tow. As Kelly patiently sized up Igercic in the lead, the riders in third, fourth and
fifth were mixing it up behind them. Corey
Peterson, in fifth, was able to take advantage
of Jones' botched move on Lawless to take
third, leaving Lawless hanging on to fourth as
Jones slipped back. On lap four, Jones took
Lawless under braking into turn one, with
Kelly finding his way around Igercic to take
the lead. Igercic was unable to answer Kelly's
move and settled for second. Behind them,
Peterson threw his position away on the last
lap, giving Jones third. Peterson barely managed to hang on for fourth.
Igercic was quickest off the line again in
the afternoon race, with Kelly applying pressure in second and Peterson poised to take
advantage of anything stupid up front. Igercic
rode hard, protecting the line, until a slight
bobble on lap six gave Kelly his opening. Iger.
cic fell back for a moment but was quick to
n __ S
recover, followed by Peterson and Jones. On
the following lap, Igercic set Kelly up for an
insane hard-braking move into tum four. With
his feet off the pegs, it was all Igercic could do
to hang on to his violently protesting bike as it
swerved from side to sjde. Dropping under
Kelly, Igercic was off the brakes and on the
throttle as he pulled out of the comer, taking
away Kelly's line. Surprised by the move,
Kelly couldn't retaliate, which gave Igercic the
best move of the day as well as the race and
overall wins. Kelly was left with a hard-fought
second, followed by Peterson in third and
Jones in fourth.

Baker's Sweet Victory

whoops, leaving the door open for Broussard,
who blitzed down the inside line and into the
lead. On the following lap, Morales again left
the door wide open going into the whoops;
this time it was Baker's tum to pass, relegat·
ing Morales to third. Broussard, in the lead,
tried to escape Baker's reach, but to no avail,
as Baker reeled him in. On the final lap, the
relentless Baker was on Broussard like tar on
a road. Baker made his move at the end of the
back straightaway as he went wide around the
outside to take the lead from Broussard and
the moto victory.
At the start of moto two, with the sun shining, Morales again absconded with the
holeshot. Going into the second tum, Gunther
tucked underneath Morales to temporarily
take the lead. By the end of lap one, Morales
had reclaimed the lead, with Gunther, Broussard and Jeff Hamblin giving chase. Baker
again found himself outside the top five and
had to work his way through the field.
Morales, who had gone from first to third in
moto one, looked very determined to take the
mota-two win; he put his head down, turning
in some fast laps. Broussard, in the hunt for
the overall, made his way undemeath Gunther
to take over second and then set his sights on
Morales. Baker was the mlln on the move; he
appeared to have the speed to catch the leaders. With Morales in the lead and Broussard in
second, Mor81es would have the overall win,
but Baker began to pick up the pace and put
pressure on Broussard. The two were bar to
bar as they entered the whoop section. A
lapped rider went down in the whoops, allow·
ing Baker to move past Broussard into second. At the end of the moto, lappers were
becoming a factor. Morales WlllS temporarily
held up by a iapper but quickly worked his
way around, maintaining his lead. Morales
rode a flawless moto to claim the victory, but
Baker won the war, going 1-2 for the ove..l!.
Morales edged out Broussard for second.

MORENO VALLEY, CA, SEPT. 9
Tom Baker took the overall victory in the Over
The Hill Gang's Intermediate class via a 1-2
tally. The racing action was very competitive
as Baker, Robert Morales and Steve Broussard
battled it out up front in both motos.
The morning skies were overcast, keeping
the Starwest track in excellent condition, with
rich, moist soil that created several ruts
through each tum, providing tight, wheel-towheel racing.
When the gate dropped for moto one,
ASV-backed Morales rounded the fourth-gear
dogleg left with a monstrous holeshot. In tow
were Ron Baur, Eric Gunther and Broussllrd.
Broussard sliced passed Gunther to claim
third, with a hard-charging Baker jockeying
into fourth. Early on, Morales established a
sizable lead, but by midmoto Broussard and
Baker had reeled in the leader and began to
pressure him. Morales went wide into the
