NOV: 1, James Brown (Yam) Perris Raceway Scharer Proves to be a Terror By Cedar Raceway Park: Jesse Brown was the overall leader of the 50Cc (7-8) division in the Club MXlCedar Raceway Fall Motocross Series_ November 3 was no exception, as round four of the Club MX/Cedar Raceway Park Fall Motocross Series lifted off at Cedar Raceway Park. Suzuki stomper lack Ahleen stormed off with the opening holeshot, as the Steven Wade Powersports·sponsored hotshoe from St. George, Utah, smoked the field when the gate dropped. Fellow Steven Wade rider Brodie Humphries, also on a Suzuki, was right behind him, with Maxima/Thousand Oaks Kawasaki ace Ronnie Goodwin lurking in third. Goodwin made the first big move, splitting the competition in the hairpin tum to grab first. Ahleen stayed tight as Springville, Utah's Alex Mecham joined in the fight at the front. Goodwin lit it up, while Ahleen tried to stay close. The fight for third was between Mecham and Humphries, as nobody else was close. Goodwin romped, Ahleen locked on second, and Humphries triumphed over Mecham for third. Dragster-oriented Ahleen smoked off the line to claim holeshot number two. Goodwin ltnd Humphries were breathing down his neck. Goodwin sliced into second, and he and Ahleen went "pass and repass" in the intricate sections of the west side. Humphries stayed "deodorant close" as the 7- to 11-year-olds were earning the crowd's money once again. Inexorabiy, Goodwin forged a lead, and by race's end there was no argument as to the overall winner of the 85cc (7-11) class. Humphries, with a big second-race effort, cemented the number-two spot, ahead of Ahleen, Mecham and Chantz Conder. in the final results. It was more of the same as the Mehr boys, Spencer and Ryan, seem to win on a regular basis. On this night, it was Ryan's tum in the spotlight, as he took on the always tough 125cc Novice class. Tony Esposito. Suzuki's "star in the making," led Ryan and Ken Hynes around the tree, but Ryan took the point in short order. Brian Fowler, another big hitter in this class, moved up to second over the big triple, and set out after Ryan. Ryan put the hammer down, but Fowler kept coming. Esposito was a solid third, with Tim Parsons, Joey Webb and Hynes all trying to bust a move for fourth. Ryan took the measure of race one, with Fowler and Esposito trailing. Parsons locked up fourth, over Webb. Focused and ferocious, Ryan took off in the second half, while Esposito and Casey Bywater were in "National Car Rental" mode. Ryan wanted to say "lights out" once again, but Esposito wasn't having any of that; he was hanging out and hanging on. Henderson, Nevada's Jason Clarthen was also climbing onto the leaderboard this time out, tacking up an impressive third. Ryan held off a determined Esposito to take the 125cc Novice crown. Parsons, steady and solid, nailed third overall, ahead of Clarthen, Fowler and Webb.
