Bremen Race Park Lyle, Dashing Through That Dirt By FAT BJUY BREMEN, GA, APR. 12 Awesome dirt. That is Bremen's claim to fame. Several inches of rain during the week prior to round five of Moto·Madness action had everyone wondering, but the crew at Bremen got the job done, and that dirt was ready to race on. The largest class of the evening provided some of the best racing. Local rider Darrell Fricks got on his Yamaha and did business in the BOce Beginner class. Honda rider Brad Hammett came over from Alabama to earn second-place honors. Kawasaki jockey Drew Carter scored two third-place finishes for the final podium position. In the aocc (12- 15) event, Honda rider Travis Laird was long gone for the top spot with two first-place finishes. Yamaha guys Brell Barrow and Chris Hollingsworth swapped finishing positions; Barrow was second overall because his best moto was the last one. Hollingsworth put in a good effort for third. The 125cc Beginners put on quite a show. Kawasaki jockey Greg Peterson was on his game on this night, winning both motos with no problem. Kawasaki man Kenny Hicks made second place his own, and Joseph McGullian used the last mota to snatch the last podium spot. Each year, the Beginner class turns out some fast riders, and so far this year is off to a good start. The 250cc A class had some new players on this night. Dash Lyle of RHS Racing was breaking in a new Honda CR250. In each moto, he was gone! Lyle took the corners beyond fast, and his double-jumping of the two small tabletops was impressive. Kawasaki rider Randy Thomas topped the Yamahamounted Michael Graham in the second mota for second place overall, and Graham held on for third. Keep your eye on Lyle as the racing heats up. The old men came to race in the Over 35 class. Yamaha pilot Joel Sewell won both motos with no problem. Rick Lindell took sec· ond in the first moto, but a major soil sample in the second race allowed Mike Henderson to move into second overall. Yamaha·mounted Martin Home ended up third after Lindell went down. The good news was that Lindell was okay; he said he would do better if he rode more often than every five months. Mota-Madness is off to a great start. If someone wants to avoid the summer heat, he should try racing under the lights. Another good, safe evening of racing was had by ail; no one caused the ambulance to move all night, so all was good at Bremen. Results PfW SHAFT; I. Ryen Stovall (KTM); 2. Travis Norton (Yam): 3.
