SANDERSON BINGHAMTON, NY, APR. 20-21 T om Hurd Motorsports, promoter for the Broome-Tioga Sports Center, hosted a Loretta Lynn's area qualifier on the fast, technical racecourse. Some of the most talented racers on the East Coast came out to try to qualify for the prestigious Loretta Lynn's Amateur National Championships held during the first week of August in Tennessee. Of course, the top riders here must still qualify at a regional qualifier and finish in the top 10 in order to reach the start gate at Hurricane Mills in Tennessee. Stock classes ran their qualifiers on Saturday, while Modified classes ran theirs on Sunday. Some of the regular classes were run each day so there was a full program for the weekend. Mother Nature made the weekend interesting with a bit of rain early Saturday, making for some pretty slick track conditions for practice and some of the first motos. The rain eventually ended, and the track dried out rather quickly. On Sunday, the racecourse was in excellent form due to the extra efforts of Broome-Tioga's track staff. Chad Sharrow topped the podium of the highly competitive Collegeboy class on Saturday with a 1-2 score. Joseph Beatty rode to a consistent 3-3 tally for the runner-up spot, while Josh Seguine rounded out the podium with a 2-5 tally. Seguine got out front quickly in the first Collegeboy moto, with Dane Coon, Sharrow, Josh Beatty and Paul Dornellas in tow. Seguine had a sixsecond lead by lap two. Sharrow moved up to second, Beatty was third, Pat Simpson was now fourth, and Coon dropped all the way back to fifth. Sharrow began to chip away at Seguine's lead and reduced it to 2 1/2 seconds by the last lap. The two battled for the last lap, with Sharrow finally able to make a pass stick in the front supercr055 section. Sharrow '1IIl1l::'-:;;;--~-:;::;:;[",,:-:;:=~-:'5::-:::-__1 ";;;'1:::!'- ......._: .....:,,"" _. r g ffi c z « '" a: ~ :; >- '" ~ Q. Broome-Tioga Sports Center: Joseph Beatty (856) leads Chad Charbonneau (263), Paul Bowlby (421), Matt Hibbard (309), Chad Sharrow (205) and the rest of the pack out of the first turn in the second Collegeboy moto at the Loretta Lynn's area qualifier in Binghamton, New York. got the first-moto win, ahead of Seguine, Beatty, Simpson and Coon. Beatty earned the holeshot honors in the second moto, but when the leaders came off the supercross section, the top five were Chad Charbonneau, Beatty, Sharrow, Matt Hibbard and Paul Bowlby. Charbonneau had an eight-second lead by lap three. Sharrow was now up to second after passing Beatty, dropping Beatty to third. Karl Morin moved to fourth, and Seguine was fifth. Charbonneau got the second-moto win easily with a whopping 14 1/2-second lead. Trailing him were Sharrow, Beatty, Morin and Seguine. In the talent-laden 65cc (7-9) class, Scott Seal topped the podium with his 1-3 score. Second overall went to Zach Butler (2-5). Drew Torrance (4-6) earned third overall. Tony Peregrin led the 65cc (7-9) class out of the first turn in the first moto but then cross-rutted in the suck conditions and went down, taking Jim Doolittle with him in the process. This allowed Tom Sharkey to inherit the lead. Rounding out the top five were Alec Eccleston, Michael Rommel, Butler and Ron Neilson. Sharkey fell victim to the slick conditions just before the start of lap two, which gave the lead to Eccleston. Sharkey remounted in second. Peregrin was back to third, Rommel was still fourth, and Neilson held fifth. Peregrin went down again late in the moto when he tangled with a lapper. Seal was now out front, dropping Eccleston to second. Seal finished the moto with a I2-second lead ahead of Eccleston, Butler, Torrance and Zach Rosch. Peregrin managed another holeshot in the second moto and led until late in the race, when Chaz Light made the pass for the lead. Shortly cue I e after the pass, Light took a big header going up the back tree-line straight, giving the moto win to Peregrin. Rounding out the top five were Light, Seal, Neilson and Butler. In the superfast Supermini class, Phil Nicoletti rode to a perfect I-I score for top honors, while Kaven Benoit, who came all the way from Canada to qualify, earned runner-up honors with his 3-2 rides. Mike Gesso's 2-6 rides were good enough to earn him the last tier of the Supermini podium. Nicoletti earned the holeshot and the early lead in the first Supermini moto on Sunday, ahead of Gesso, Richard Scalise, Benoit and Mark Lindsey. The top five spread out quickly. Nicoletti finished the moto with six-second lead. Trailing were Gesso, Benoit, Scalise and Lindsey. Nicoletti led the pack off the first turn again in the second moto, with Benoit, Justin Barney, Mike Case and Lindsey trailing. Once again the leaders spread out pretty quickly. Nicoletti got the second-moto win with a nine-second lead. Rounding out the top five were Benoit, Case, Lindsey and Scalise. Veteran Pro/Expert rider Wally Silva topped the extremely competitive 125cc Pro Sport/Expert podium on Sunday with a perfect 1-1 score. Rounding out the podium were Mike Veracka (5-2) and Charlie Ellis (6-3). CN Broome-TIoga Sports Ce....r Binghamton, New York ResuDs:ApriI20-21,2002 Saturday 51 (4-6) P/W: 1. Brett McMichael (Yom): 2.
