Denmark Sports and Competition: Brian Collins (55) g ets the b ig h oles h ot ln 125c c B action at t h e final round of the No rt hern Cup Motocross Series i n De n m ark, W iscon s in . Collin s grabbed s ix h ol es h ot s on the da y e n route t o o verall wi ns in the Mini Se n io r, 125cc Jun ior a nd 125c c B d ivis ions. Rounding out the top five overall were Dustin Hoffman (4- 4 ) and Michael Fager (7- 6). "I got the holeshot aga in , but this time Tyler was right on me th e wh o le race," said Collins. " I might have c ut him o ff a few times or taken his line . but we were ev enl y match ed out there today. and I was fort unate en ough to get the lead right off of the start." Co llins was outstand ing on th is Sunday. pulling every ho leshot and winn ing five ou t of six motos to capture three ov erall s. Coll ins also wrapped up No rthern Cup Series championships in the Min i Senio r and 125cc Junior cl asses . If Coll ins kee ps this up, he'II j oin the A-class ran ks before lon g . Twen ty yo ung lad ies were o n th e line in th e Wom en ' s class . and everyone thoug h t Raem isch wo uld dom in ate. She di d wi n the fi rst m ot a. but she had trouble in the seco nd; whe n she fell, she let Kim Wilcheck in fo r th e win an d t he ove rall wi th a 3-] tally , w hile Rae m i sc h scored 1- 3 fo r se cond o ver a l l. Heath er Roach watch ed it all play o ut as she wen t 4 -2 for th ird overall, but she go t th e last la ug h, as she was th e to p dog in the NCS with th e c ha m pionship . Roach and WiJcheck ha d some great battl es thi s season , and no doubt these two will get even faster next season. Scott McConnell was on top once again in the Mini 65c c (7 ·1 1) clas s. aci ng both m otos on his KTM . McConn ell also won the Mini J unior class, with a 1-3 tally ; Dyla n Koth won the seco nd m ota . McConnell wrapped up th e NCS cha mpionship in both cla sses, a feat that was fairly tough co nsidering he's riding tw o co mp letely di fferent bikes, a KTM 65 SX and a Yamaha YZ85 . Ev en m or e i nter e st ing , McC onnell is a diabetic and races with an insulin pu m p. His race -day preparation is unlike any other kid 's on the line. He chec k s hi s bloo d suga r levels m any tim es throughout the day to ensure he is at the peak level of his co nditioning du ri ng th e race. McConnell never com p lains about this problem ; he just charges to the front in every race he's in. What a warrior! D e n ma rk Sports a nd Com pet iti o n D enmark.
