Despite lots of rain, the Kelly boys did it again with a perfect, loamy racing surface. The 125cc Beginner class is going the same direction as it did last season, with the speed increasing as the riders gain experience. Yamaha pilot Adam Free flew to the overall win, though Kawasaki jockeys Alec Bryant and Kris Lemaster kept him pushing hard. In the 250cc Beginner class, Kawasaki rider Lemaster topped Honda rider Jeff Dowda. Suzuki pilot Joey Godfrey finished a strong third. One thing that these young men don't have to learn is how good the podium feels after a night of great racing. Clayton Henderson enjoyed another pair of wins on his Freewheeling Honda. The 125cc C class was Henderson territory, and Chris Castle and Bobby Scogins teamed up to complete the first all-red podium of the evening, with the Hondas looking strong. The Minis were getting it done this evening. KTM-mounted Brady Moreland showed the way in the 50cc Open class. Kyle Russell put his Cobra in second to keep the podium from being a KTM sweep, as Kyle Hurston put his Katoom in the third spot. Blake Sellers took first-place honors in the 50cc (7-9) event, and Husky man Travis Horton finished ahead of Russell to break the otherwise all-Cobra finishing order. Yamaha-mounted Chris Hollingsworth controlled the 80cc (12- 15) event, but Cory Dowda (apparently fully recovered from last year's shoulder injury) put his Suzuki in second. Brett Barrow of the Yamaha camp finished third, keeping Cory honest. The Supermini 80-105cc class was also ruled by Hollingsworth. Barrow took second. ahead of Yamaha rider Jeremy Pendley making for the first all-blue podium of the evening. In the older age classes. LSD Racing's Mike Henderson topped the Over 30 and Over 35 classes. Yamaha rider Alex Davies was second in the Over 30 division, ahead of Honda rider Russ Castle. Staniey Dowda rode his Honda to second place in the Over 35 race, ahead of Yamaha-mounted Martin Horns. As the lights went out at Bremen, another great night of racing came to an end. Once again, the ambulance didn't move, and all the spills were minor. Fun racing with friends, no injuries, and there's still Sunday to go riding what a good weekend.
