NOV. 11·12 he Bermuda Motocross Club holds two major events per year, where the club brings over selected U.S. riders. For their annual Remembrance Day race, David Oettel was flown in from Wisconsin, and Derrick Fisher, Kyle Kelly, Christopher McCorkel and Clint Shealy traveled together from Atlanta, Georgia. Shealy was sporting a fresh cast on his wrist but still came out to support his friends. Shealy and Oettel are both regulars in Bermuda's motocross scene, and they stayed days beyond the racing to catch up with old friends. The race format was three motos per class per day, for two days. Overalls from days one and two counted toward the final overall. In five of six Pro motos, Oettel was untouchable. The only moto he didn't win was Sun- T day's final moto, in which he suffered a damaged rear sprocket and a DNF. In the opening laps. Oettel was often challenged and sometimes led by the competition, which provided the best racing of the weekend. "That guy was blazing in the rhythm section," Kelly said of his competitor. "He was absorbing every jump with his body and carrying so much more speed through there than the rest of us." Oettel was taking a break from the National Arenacross Series to come race in Bermuda as he waits for his 2002 Husqvarnas. "I am looking forward' to testing and getting ready for supercross as soon as I get my new Huskys," Oettel said. "I'm stoked to be riding for Moto Xtremes. Those guys are into helping me step up in the sport, and I want to give them some results in return." Oettel will run number 98 in the AMA Nationals and Supercross this upcoming year.
