Off-road legend Larry Roeseler made a special appearance to help support the cause; he was on hand to sign autographs and hand out four personalized jerseys. With the parade lap around the course and public relations taken care of, Roeseler was also there to race and have a good time. The course was 1. 7 miles long and the events were 45 minutes each. The first race of the day featured the Junior Vets and the Seniors, followed by the 60cc, eocc and women riders. Then came the 125cc{250cc classes. Vets took to the field next, followed by the 125cc/250cc/Four-Stroke Beginner contest. In the Pro event. Roeseler snagged the holes hot and started to puli away. with Guernsey and Thompson in chase. Roeseler jumped the triple early in the event; he only did it once and nearly cased it, but it was as impressive as all get out! Thompson and Guernsey's battie soon helped them catch up to Roeseler. Thompson made the pass on Roeseler. Guernsey soon followed suit and was now in the runner-up spot. The YZF riders soon put a small gap on Roeseler, aboard his KX250. Thompson bobbled and washed out in the corner on the back of the course. Roeseler and Guemsey both stopped to make sure that he was okay, and when they reappeared Roeseler had the lead. with Guernsey and Thompson giving chase. After a couple of laps of Roeseler ieading. it was Guemsey's turn to lead. Thomp- son repassed Roeseler, and Guernsey passed the checkered flag for the win. The funniest event of the day was when Roeseler and Guernsey hit the track for an impromptu one-lap XR50 race - while the 125cc and 250cc Beginners were racing on the track. Roeseler nabbed the holes hot. Guernsey grabbed a little too much throttle and whee lied off of the start. With true grit and determination, they sliced, cUced and banged bars for the lead, but it was Roeseler besting Guemsey. It was truly a Sight to see. The entire day was more like a fun ride than a race. The overall winners of each event got a small medallion for their efforts. but all proceeds went to the Red Cross. "It was a blast, an absolute blast," Roeseler enthused. "It was the most fun I have had in a long time. Lee did a great job... It was a great excuse to do some riding. I knew I had my hands full with Thomspon and Guemsey; both of them are great riders. n Results JR VET INT: I. Jeff Matthews. VET BEG: 1. Mark Purser: 2. Jeff Lesovsky; 3. Don Lesovsky: 4.
