Megacross Martin Takes Two at Megacross Shootout By NIKKI DlJRANCZYK MENDOTA, IL, APR. 26 Round two of the Megacross Shootout Series boasted another huge turnout of about 300 riders, all hungry for their share of the factory contingency and Expert·c1ass purses. As usual, the Expert classes were jam-packed with talented riders. Wisconsin's finest - Ross Martin, Brad Modjewski, Matt Hopkins and Greg Hochmuth - all made a trip to Megacross to clean house in the A classes. Martin was the big winner on the night, scoring the 125cc and 250cc A victories. In the 125cc A heat race, Martin took the holeshot on his Ace Powersports/Pro Action Suzuki. Modjewski soon took the lead and pulled away for the win. Martin and Hopkins had a good battle for second, with Martin getting the nod. Martin picked up another holeshot in the main, followed by Modjewski, Hopkins and 17 other riders. Port Yamaha's Hopkins passed into second on the first lap, but Modjewski reclaimed second before the finish-line whoops. Martin held on for the win, while Modjewski and Hopkins had a race to the finish, with Modjewski prevailing. Hopkins, Hochmuth and Tad Tyrrell rounded out the top five. Modjewski piloted his FMF/American Suzuki to the holeshot in the 250cc A heat race. Martin moved into the lead; then the two riders swapped back and forth until the checkers flew, with Modjewski picking up the win. Andy Thyberg claimed third. In the 250cc A main, Martin rounded the first tum in the lead. Modjewski wouldn't give up without a fight, and he made his way around Martin but couldn't make it stick, and Martin picked up the checkers. Meanwhile, the race for third was a three-way battle among Hochmuth, Tyrrell and Kevin Markwardt. Hochmuth picked his way through the pack to take the third-place finish. Chris Antolak cruised to the 65cc heat win on his Tuf's Kawasaki. In the main event, KTM-mounted Steven Page had the early lead, but Antolak moved into the front spot and started pulling away. Page didn't give up; he kept charging, behind Antolak. On the last lap, Antolak made a mistake, and Page was right there to capitalize on it and take home the 65cc win.
