ing the overall 85cc (12-13) trophy, ahead of
Matteson, Rogers and Rodriguez. Savage easily topped the 85cc (7 -11) dass, leading Jake
Schlei and Ahleen in the final results. Nelson
bested Jena Ellis and Blake Stouard in the
80cc (14-16) division.
Levi Jensen was clearly the man in the
125cc Novice/Intermediate contest. He rocketed out in front of Patrick Provencher and
Justin Fraughton as the gate dropped for
moto one. Fraughton made a quick pass for
second at the bollom of the hill. but Jensen
was already building a lead on the field. Chase
Nelson made a move to grab third, but no one
could keep up with Jensen, who took race one
with ease. Fraughton stayed solid in second,
and Provencher led Bryce Gabrielson through
the pipes after Nelson went down.
An impressive burst from the blocks put
Jensen out in front again as the second half
exploded into action. Fraughton and
Provencher were dogging him. Jensen
dropped it into overdrive and opened up a
commanding lead, while Nelson fought his
way past Provencher to take over third.
Another wire-to·wire masterpiece gave Jensen
the overall 125cc Intermediate crown, ahead
of Fraughton and Nelson, while Provencher
easily won the Novice division, leading Jeff
Morris and Ricky Guedry in the final tally.
