PINE GROVE, PA, FEB. B
D ouod one of the BP Promotions Pennsylva" "ia State Hare Scrambles Series, sponsored
by MSR/Answer Racing, was held in early February at the Flying Dutchmen Motorcycle Club
in Pine Grove . It was a bright, sunny day, with
temperatu res in the low 30s and winds raging
up to 20 mph over th e Iro zen , hard- packe d
hare scram bles cou rse. As usual, the crew at
the Flying Dutchmen did a great job 01 preparing the tra ck in the days prior to the event . The
Northeast has been batt er ed wit h snow and
frigid weather aU winter long, and the warriors
from AMA District 6 were ready to ride. More
than 300 participants came out to compete in
the first round ofthe IO·round series.
Last year 's number-two rider in the 85cc
( 12- 1S) division, TNT Cycles/Keeney t-lotcsports' Tyler Klinger, was on hand to fill the
vacancy left by Tim Rizzon, who has moved up
to the 250cc A class this year. justin Frederick
grabbed the holeshot , but by the end 01 the first
lap Klinger had establishe d himself in the lead
position, and he never looked back. The young
Suzuki pilot was the overall victor as well as the
class winner, putt ing in a total of five laps in just
over an hour.
In the 8 5cc (7- 11) group, Spectra O ils/
Metro Clothing!RRP
/AGV Helmets-sponsored
Suzuki jockey Dale " Bugsy" Wakefield dominated his dtvision, leading from start to finish. In
the Supe rm ini class . Ame rican Suzuki rider
Chris Rizzon Irom Middlesex, New Jersey, too k
the chec kers with a commanding win on t he
ice.
The big story 01 the day was 16-yea r-old
Tim Rizzon, riding for American Suzuki, WER,
O 'Neal Clothing and Rizzo n Cycles. Tim w as
the Youth Rider of the Year in District 6, as we ll
as Penn sylvania Stat e and Dist rict cham p in
2003. This was T im's first race on t he new
Suzuki four-stroke in the Expert class, and it
was also the first time he had competed on the
ice with studded tires.

When the green flag dropped, the 2S0cc A
division was off and runn ing - all excep t Tim.
who sat on the line, his bike refusing to fire at
first. A local Pro motocross racer, Cros sroads
Powers po rt s-spo nsored Ty Wallace, grabbed
the early lead, wh ile Tim started dead last. Tim
was 20 seconds behind the leader at the end of
the first lap. A little shaky at first on the studded
tires, Tim started to find his groove a few laps
into the race and began picking off riders one
by one. Tim was making up valuable seconds on
each lap, and on the final lap 01 this two-hour
race , he ca ught and passed another Suzuki
rider, jason Mark owicz. for the class win what an accomplishment for t his first -ye ar
Expert rider!

MARCH 10,2004 • CYCLE NEWS
eavy rain on Th ursday and freezing tern peratures on Sunday kept the crew at Bremen on line this weeke nd. Saturday was used
to load t he track w ith saw du st , and all the
jumps were refaced and ready. Sunday's prac tice was slick . but constant w ork w ith the
equipment had t he racing surface ready when
the gate dropped. Another great day 01 racing
was had by all. Noth ing bothered the EMT
crew, except for some small ge t-offs . This race
was supposed to be held at Calhoun, but the
wet weather prevented that. Many riders have
a backup bike in case one breaks , but it's nice
that the Kellys actually have a backup track what a concept!
The loader is leaving, so let us get to the
grandstand s for the show!
Cobra pilot Jake Elder ran away wit h the
50cc (7-8) v ictory. Brady More land to ok
seco nd-place honors, ahead ol lellow KTM pilot
Jacob Seagraves.
The 50cc Open division was another Elder
benefit. He kept the throttle pinned on his
trusty Cob ra. Th is was a car bon copy of the
previou s class , as Moreland and Seagraves
earned the same podium positions.
The 6Scc (7-9) d ivision feat ured another
good contest . Suzuki jockey Paul Nelson
showed the way with a last-mote win. KTM ·
mounted Bra ntley Musgrave was steady for
secon d overall. KTM pilot Blake Moreland used
the s e co nd mo to t o ke e p himse lf o n t he
podium after a grea t race!
Many riders ha ve had tim e to bec om e
accustomed to the ir new mac hines since the
holid ays. Nic Kimsey is one o f those riders .
Moving up to an 8 5 from a 65 is natural, but not
necessarily easy. Kimsey rode his new Yamaha
to wins in both the 85cc (7- 1I) and Preteen
60-80cc events. Taylor Smith , on his RHS
Honda , went back and lorth with Suzuki rider
Dylan Howell , but a solid second in t he last
mota set the order in the 85cc (7- 11) class.
Suzuki jockeys Jesse Madden and Howell tried
to catch Kimsey in the Pretee n contest.
Robby W iniarczyk, o n his Freewheeling!
LSD-tun ed CRF2S0R, w as t he har d o ne to
catch on this day. Winiarczyk won every moto
he entered In the 12Scc C and Youth contests .
Suzukt-mcun ted Justin Matt hews did the de al
fo r seco nd overall in t he 12Scc C d ivisio n.
Honda man Russell Bene s put in a stea dy ride
fo r th e las t po di um positio n. Matthews
repea ted his seccnd-cverall performance in the
Youth con test, while Brian Elrod placed third
overall.
T here were not many females in
attendance, due to the temperatures. Many of
the ladies present made it to the starting line for
t he Women's eve nt. Rachel Shearer took her
Kawasaki to the front in both motos for the
overall win. jessica Tucker, on her Yamaha, took
seco nd overall wit h a ste ady performance.
Kawasaki-mou nted Mariah McNeill earned the
final podium position.
