Dunaway Does It
at Kenworthy's
By RUPERT x_ PWETT
TROY, OH, AUG. 25
Ff,S Suzuki/Ohio Motosports-backed Charlie
Dunaway returned to this difficult circuit,
which is surrounded by farm fields and a river,
to work his magic. He won both big-money
races and a bunch of contingency bucks.
Dunaway. returning from a very serious neck
injury suffered at this very track just a year
ago, didn't win the easy way - in fact. he came
from dead last in moto two of the 125cc A
class - yet the native of Lucasville, Oh.io, and
joumeyman Pro flashed his RM125 and 250 in
for three of four moto wins in the heavily
stacked 125cc and 250cc A classes.
Dunaway's 1-1 postings in the 250cc A
classes were even more triumphant, in that a
lot of out-of-state and local Ohio-based Pro
and Expert racers were involved . 15 in the
250cc A class, and 16 in the 125cc A class.
ActuaBy, the 125cc A class was most probably the more rewarding for Dunaway, as Steve
Andrich won moto one and Dunaway had to
come from a terrible, gas-off start to win on
this high-flying course. With overflow fields in
virtually every cllI:sS and tons of competition,
the racing was talent-laden and fuB of great
racing.
Nathan Skaggs was seemingly one of the
fastest non·Pro riders on the day, aithough a
get-off and a fifth-place finish in moto one of
the 125cc B class would aBow Schoolboyclass winner Kyle Preston to take the win.
Skaggs did storm off with a 1- 1 whipping of
the 250cc B fieid, with Preston taking a
weB-run 2-2.
In old-guy-c1ass action, Mark Kiser had an
incredible day on his RM250. Kiser took both
the Over 25 and Over 30 B divisions, while
Buckeye Powersports' Brian Gonser took sec·
and behind him in both classes. Gonser also
whipped the Open class on his Swifty
Madinger-tuned CRF45OR.
Over on the Pee Wee track, it was all Team
Green's Justin Weeks. The Cincinnati native
sank the hopes of the 80cc (7- 11) and 65cc
riders, leaping home for four mota wins on the
riverside circuit.

Cedar City Raceway
Holdaway Holds On
By DICK
GOODWIN
CEDAR Cm', UT, AUG. 25
Honda hotshoe Jeff Holdaway, racing in the
combined Open Intermediate/Over 30 Intermediate clash, took home the hardware in the
Open Intermediate division. It wasn't exactly 8
walk in the park, however, as he had to hold
off first-mota winner Justin Fraughton to
collect the cup by mere inches.
Asinine Clothing-backed Over 30 Intermediate rider Calvin Cahoon fired a shot for the
old guys when the second wave lit it up for
race one, leading the combined divisions
around the big tree. He was quickly displaced
by High Velocity heavy hitter Willie Ungerman.
Sunstar's Fraughton and MSR-backed Scott
Theobald soon blasted into second and third.
Fraughton made his move in the back section,
taking the point, while Holdaway was mounting a charge, taking third after the big tabletop
Cedar City Raceway: Levii Hall (893) was the winner of the 60Cc Stock (6-8) class
In Cedar City, Utah_
and moving into second just before the finish
line. Fraughton was in orbit out in front,
increasing his lead with every lap, while HoldaWlI:Y cemented himself in the runner·up slot.
Ungerman finished a very respectable third,
with Theobald the last of the front-running
group.
The second moto is "do or die," so Holdaway decided to "do" - and he did, right in
front of Fraughton, Ungerman and Plaza Cycle
star Justin Smith. Holdaway picked up the
pace and Fraughton matched it, and the two
leaders separated themselves from Ungerman
and the rest. It got closer and closer as the
laps rolled on, bar to bar. with neither rider
willing to blink. Meanwhile, Ungerman took
permanent possession of third. Finally, as the
checkers waved, Holdaway's front tire s8ved
the day, and rescued the overall Open Intermediete trophy, as close, clean racing demonstrated once again what a great sport
motocross can be.
From drama to dominance· the 80cc
Open class had a little of the former and a lot
of the latter. Steven Wade Powersports' shooter Zack Ahleen opened up the action, leading
Suzuki star Brodie Humphries and Thousand
Oaks Kawasaki hotshoe Ronnie Goodwin
around the first tum. Point Powersports' landon Powell snapped his Suzuki up into second, but it was short-lived, as Goodwin blasted past everyone in the rhythm section to take
the lead_ AIhleen held second, but Humphries
was all over him, passing for second at the
end of the rhythm section on lap two. Goodwin cruised, Humphries cranked it up in
second, and Powell nailed down third as race
one concluded.
Ahleen was quickest again as moto two
exploded into action. Powell, Humphries and
Goodwin were in a tight pack, trying to chase
him down. Goodwin ripped the rhythms once
again, shooting into first, as Humphries followed right behind, landing in second place.
Goodwin put it on cruise control out front, but
the b>lttle for second place was a paint-swapping war between Ahieen and Humphries for
most of the race, until Humphries was able to
pull away in the waning stages. Maxima's
Goodwin took the overall win, capping eight
for eight for 85cc moto wins on the weekend,
while Humphries took second and led AIhleen
and Powell in the final results.
