Kellett Catches Up

ELGIN,NV, SEPT. 28
Honda hotshoe Kyle Kellett used that old -I'm
right behind you no matter who is winning"
strategy to earn himself the overall 125cc
Novice title while racing at Rainbow Canyon
Motocross Track in Elgin. Nevada, Kyle found
himself staring at the north end of the southbound Jason Lopez as race one got under
way. Beginner blasters Dave Ramey and Jake
Poole were railing in third and fourth. Lopez,
out in front, wasted little time stretching his
lead, as Kellett settled into a solid second,
Behind them, things were wild and woolly, as
Ramey, Bryce Menzies, Poole, Billy Guedry
and Jon Ellis were all balled up in a snarling
pack for third, Lopez flipped on the afterburners and lit out for home, winning part one
with ease, Kellett kept his big lead to finish
second, and Menzies emerged from the wars
to claim third,
Lopez blasted to his second straight
holeshot as moto two fired up, Kellett was
leading Frank Iovino and Ramey in a chase
after the leader. Iovino made a move in the
back section to grab second, It looked like
Lopez's day until he went down, gifting Iovino
with the lead, and Kellett was in second again,
Iovino went on to win this round, but it was
Kellett, with two solid runner-up finishes, who
took the overall 125cc Novice crown, Guedry
finished third, and his come-from-behind
score netted him the 125cc Beginner trophy,
besting Menzies and Ramey.
The Junior cycles were going at it on Saturday as well. Robert Campbell used a late
surge to pile out in front of Brett Proctor and
Chase Krumme as race action began. Campbell held it on and opened up a lead, Proctor
was racing solidly in second, Campbell
cruised, capturing the first contest, with Proctor second.
Campbell uncorked a monster holeshot to
start the second half, with Proctor once again
chasing. Campbell's blazing speed wasn't
leaving any room for anyone to challenge him,
as he nailed his second straight victory
and the overall 65cc (9-11) title, ahead of
Proctor. Krumme came through in the 65cc
Beginner race.
