Woodring' s fast quali fi er had his Treds & Sleds/MCR Suspension/ZM X Kaw asaki on the pol e in t he 12Scc Pro main. Gre w e gra bbe d anoth er hole shot o n his Village Motorsports rid e , but Wo odring wa s on th e mo ve in the w hoo ps, grabbing the lead.

CMC Northwest Winte r Are nacross Se ries Round 4: Forster Livestock Pavilion Huffman, Terlecki Strike in Salem! By CLAY LIGHT SALEM, OR, DEC. 12·13 A MA Nationa l vete rans Ryan Huffman and /"'\Ryan Terlecki were the top performers at the fourth roun d of the CMC Northwest Arenacross Ser ies, held at Fo rste r Livestock Pavilion . The event doubled as a qua lifying round for the up comi ng Northwest C halle nge Pro-Am event, fo r which Huffman. Terlecki and many others q ualified durin g the two consecutive nights of racing. Wh ile Huffman and Terlecki never squ ared off, both came awa y w ith impr essive 2SOcc and Op en Pro wi ns . Terlecki troun ced the comp etit ion on Fr ida y night, topping Wash ingto nian Da le Ainslie fo r the 2S0c c Pro w in . Huffman was the sole Pro rider the following night, but with his w in. the ride r fro m Rosebu rg, Oregon, joined the riders vying fo r the top payoff from th e purse of mo re t han $3000 later this month. Perhaps the most successful Amateurs of the wee kend we re Erik Meusling, Sam DeAtley, and the domina nt 50 cc rider, jonathan Andrews. Meusling scored a pair of overall w ins o n Friday, no t chi ng the 12 Scc and Bef o r e The Hill victories. Meusling also snare d a 12Scc junio rclass w in o n Saturday nig ht to captu re t hre e ov e rall w ins on t he weekend . DeAtley, w ho made the tre k from Lewis to n, Idaho, took home the to p brass in the I25cc Intermediate and Bef o re T he Hill Intermediate classes on Friday night. Te rlecki was the lone Pro in the co mbined Open Pro/ Before The Hill Junior/ Intermediate co nte st. He thundered ou t of the gat e on his Y amaha YZ4S0F and assumed the point pos ition from st art t o finis h . Terlecki w allo pe d the compe tition in both motos to finish ahead of Me us ling in moto one. Te rle cki then posted another strong performance in mota tw o to finish ahead o f DeAtley. Both DeAtl ey and Meusling w e re overall w inners , as DeAtle y was co ntes t ing the Intermed iate class and Meusling the junio r ranks. Ainslie has been o n a ro ll in the Eve rgreen State, posting a string of outdoor victo ries this fall. However, the Washingto nian was no match fo r Te rle cki o n th is da y: though Terlecki had Ainslie in his shadow for m uch of both motes, Ainslie couldn't find a way aro und Terlecki, w ho wo uld pre vail in both motos. KTM rider Raym Conkey trailed the Pro duo in bo th motos to snar e the Inte r med iate -class wi n, followed by Kevin Pe t r ush kin and Cody Ho ckema, w ho placed first and second in the 2S0cc Junior class. On Saturday, Huffman was clearly the fastest rider in atte ndance . It was too bad t hat Huffman didn't get to batt le Te rlecki, as the tw o www.cyclenews .com rarel y go head to he ad due to the ir bus y Na tional schedules. How ever, Huffman had to co ntend with a pack of Before The Hill ride rs before he could score his win. Meusling, who w o uld later do minat e the 12Scc Junio r class , darted to the fro nt of the field at the unleashing, ke e ping Huffman at bay o n the opening lap. However, Huffman wa s to o much for the 15year-o ld, le aving Meusling to fend off his Before The Hill-class co mpetito rs. RESULTS Fri d a y P/W (0-6): I . Ryan Burggren (KTM): 2.
