Dimick Dashes at Two Rivers By DAWN WINCZEWSKI MILLIKEN, CO, JUNE 2 Yamaha rider Dalton Dimick aced the 125cc C class at round eight of the RMXA's Spring Series, held at Two Rivers Racing in Milliken, Colorado. The District 25 event drew 550 riders, with balmy weather of 97 degrees making for a great day of racing. The Trl City CycJes/Fox/Spy/HRP-sponsored rider got right down to business when it was time to drop the gate. With holeshots in both of his matos, he got the lead on the rest of the class and nailed down a 1· 1 finish for the day. Dimick had some stout competition, with Wes Selby pulling second overall, Andrew Lehman in third, Carl Fritz in fourth and Michael Carder roundjng out the top five. "I jumped out in front on the starts and stayed there," Dimick said. "I've been training, lifting weights and getting on the treadmill during the week. I practice two to three times each week, also." Dimick's hard work is evident, with a very impressive ride on the day! This is the 14-year-old's first year on a 125cc bike; he moved up from the 80cc Amateur class at the beginning of the season.
