WNYMA's seventh round was Gary Johnston's
RV Center and ~upport- Plus Racing/Michelin
Tire Day, and the Expert class broke the
piggybank over Hogback Hill and collected an
extra $1000 in cash, thanks to the Palmyra
Racing Association and Gary Johnston's RV
Center. Loads of other prizes were awarded
back several places, including a random
drawing for a power washer. This season, all
riders at Palmyra Racing Association's
WNYMA races are automatically entered in an
end-of-year, random drawing for a 2003
Honda CR250. On the final motocross race at
Palmyra on September 14, a winner wiIJ be
drawn during intermission.
.
One of the greatest WNYMA "action"
classes is the Senior C class, and this day was
no exception, with 23 Over 30 Beginners and
Novices "livin' MXtra-Iarge." KTM riders Mike
Murphy and Mark Hoppy roosted the class
through the holeshot comer and big chicane_
Hoppy started stepping out over the back sections of the track, and he cleared the reinstated Gravity Cavity and the Big Six Pack with a.
commanding lead. Meanwhile, the rest of the
full deck of Senior C riders got reshufned.
"Gentleman Fred" Lucas had worked his way
up to the sixth spot, but the big newsflash was
that Fred's son Keith Lucas was now in control
of second place. No doubt Pro Action Suspension of WNY owner "2Cool" Bart Lucas (Fred's
brother and Keith's uncle) had the Lucas
boys' Yamaha and Kawasaki ready to rumble.
Hoppy was hooked up, and he took the win,
with Keith, Tim Harrington, Mark Smith, and
Fred rounding out the top five.
Smith timed the gate drop in moto two
perfectly and was on the gas fast, leading
from the launching pad through the chicane.
James McLaughlin was looking good in second place, until he washed out exiting the chicane. Hoppy hopped past Smith for the lead,
with Todd Town and Dave Terwilliger Sr. in
tow. Michael Lenartowicz became a contender
for a while until he knocked himself out of
contention by stalling his Suzuki on the uphill
portion of the Big Six Pack jump. On the final
lap, yet more riders got stuck in the same
spot. Hoppy won hands down, followed by
Terwilliger, Harrington, Town and Smith.
Hoppy (1-I) had a stranglehold on first
overall, followed by Harrington (3-3), Smith
(4·5), Fred Lucas (5-6) and Town (8-4), Terwilliger (I 1-2) was sixth overall, with Keith
Lucas (2-12) seventh and James Mclaughlin
(7-8) eighth.
The Palmyra Racing Association members
deserve kudos for taking the time and having
the equipment on hand to create a suitable
racing surface for the 50cc Pee Wee and
50cc Shaft and Drive classes. The "Rushville
Rocket: Connor Kelly (1-1), and Cody Marriolt (3-3) carried the KTM colors high for first
and second overall over the huge 50cc (7-8)
class. with 18 young guns. Cobra charmers
Jason Chacho (2-4) and Brandon Innes (6-2)
earned third and fourth overall, with KTM
rider Jimmy McLaughlin (son of Senior C
contender James) earning fifth overall.
The WNYMA returns to Hogback Hill on
August 3 for round 17 of 29, and again on
August 17 for the halfway points race for the
WNYMA New York State Challenge Series.
Scott USA heads the list of series sponsors,
with $5000-plus of the best eye protection on
the planet. Also, Mxride.com and Troy Lee

awesome youth-sized chest protector, and

HOWSTER, CA, MAY 26
Mondays are usually a day of rest for most
motocrossers, but there were more than 450
riders who chose to race again instead on this
Monday, After the combined efforts of Mutant
Motorsports/Motowest Racing for the annual
Memorial Day Extravaganza on Sunday, racers came back to take part in round one of
Mutant MotorsportslIN Innovations Summer
Series at the legendary Hollister Hills venue.
Adam Miller of Prundedale was one of
those riders who wanted to race on Monday,
and it paid off for the Yamaha/Honda pilot.
Miller took the win in the 125cc Pro class, as
well as an exciting win in the half-time Dash
For Cash.
Miller ripped off two holeshots in the Pro
class, and he followed those up with two mota
wins, making it a 1-1 day on the YZ250F.
Tony Wolf, who was also riding blue, finished
the day in second with 3-2 mota scores. Taking third for the day was Suzuki jockey Robbie
Baker from Clovis, with 2-3 moto scores.
With the help of Billy Jurevich and Jeremy
Kniesley, Miller made it an exciting half-lime
Dash For Cash_ Kniesley started in the front
row and wasted no time pulling out to a huge
lead. The Novice rider (soon to be Intermediate) was in control up front, while everyone
was watching Miller and Jurevich working
their way through the pack from a last-row
start. Miller had the advantage over Jurevich,
though the two were passing riders almost
simultaneously. It all came down to the last
lap: Miller and Jurevich were closing on
Kniesley, and it looked like Miller would prevail, but to everyone's surprise, Jurevich
threaded the needle with a sweet inside pass
on Miller. It appeared as though Jurevich was
now going to take Kniesley and steal the win
from Miller with less than a quarter of a lap to
go. All three riders entered the turn before the
Elevator Shaft, but only one rider emerged.
And as the (semi-politically correct) saying
goes, "It's not over until the big-boned lady
sings."
Apparently, that big-boned lady was still
warming up, because Miller came flying down
the Elevator Shaft in the lead, Miller laid the
big Honda flat coming out of the shaft, with
one hand in the air, taking the win. Now, that
was a racel
Jurevich didn't have the best luck in the
Dash, but he prevailed in the 250cc Pro class,
over Miller. Hollister homeboy Jurevich was
on the gas in mota one, leading the pack from
start to finish. Miller was on pace with Jurevich but had his share of problems and eventually finished fifth. Second in moto one was
Wolf, followed by Robbie Baker in third.
Moto two saw Jurevich get another start.
with Miller close behind. Miller kept pace with
Jurevich and kept the Honda upright in this
mota. and he was able to make the pass going
into the third lap. Miller never faltered and
took the checkers, with Jurevich in second
and Robby Baptista in third. Baptista had
actually passed Jurevich and held second for
a couple of laps, but when the white flag came
out, Jurevich grew tired of looking at Baptista's Honda and took the second position
back. Jurevich took the overall with his 1-2
tally, while Miller was second on the day with
a 5-1 score. Wolf ended his day in third with a
2-4 effort.
