scores. The second division is always harder
to figure out, because it changes between
motos. Jimmy Bennett - the same guy who
finished second in the 85cc Beginner class put it together and won. John Fetcho and Paul
Calvo had some spirited interaction on the
track, but it stayed clean, and they finished
second and third, respectively.
The 250cc Novice division featured more
riders than usual, which made for some interesting developments on the track. Donald
Ertel was smoking in the first moto, pulling off
a narrow victory over regular front·runner
Aaron Arnbrister. Luke LeDuc, who just
moved up from the Beginner class, finished an
impressive third in the first race. Ambrister
had trouble and fell aU the way to fifth in the
second mota, leaving the door open for some
new blood. Ertel backed up his first-moto victory with a solid second the final time out. The
final moto was actually won by Kyle Griffith,
who finished dead last in the first. LeDuc
maintained his pace and finished third again in
the second moto. Ertel's 1-2 finishes were
good enough for the win. LeDuc grabbed a
weU-deserved second, and Ambrister held on
for third.
Many other riders turned in outstanding
perfonnances. Some of the most notable rides
came from Steven Hembree, Kyle Jones,
Robby Baptista, Beau Baron and Kevin
Yerkey. The series only has two rounds left
after MaderZi. Great weather combined with a
chance at supercross dream trips suggested
that things would continue to get even better.
