No Sour Grapes for Welch at
Blue Diamond Grand Openerl
By MATT WOZNEY
NEW CASRE, DE, JULY 4
B
lue Diamond Motocross Park held its Grand
Opening gala on the Fourth of July just outside of Ne w Castle , Delaware. The facility.
owned by Greggo and Ferrara Inc.• proved to
be second to none, as they debuted their new
amusement park, BMX course and motocross
facility. As for the racing, which was run by Alan
De Carlo, the Pros got to race for a bunch of
cash out o f t he $6000 p ur se , provided by
Roostin .com. Also, a KX25D was given away,
thanks to Powersports East. The big Pro purse
drew Experts from around the area who were
willing to ge t a han d on that much- needed
dough. The rider who too k most of that money
home was Tom Welch. The Shenandoah Honda
rider swept bot h Pro classes impressively.
In t he 12 5cc A class , Welch p ut in I - I
finishes for the overall win after com ing back
from midpack ea rly on in both moto s. Taking
the second-p lace finish was Kevin Brodsky (4-2),
who was ab le to beat o ut Crossroad
50
Powersports/MSR rider Dam ien Plotts, who
took the third overall spot with 2-5 finishes.
This was Plotts' first race back since his gnarly
injury at t he Ho usto n Supercross early t his
wi nte r. Plotts' teammate Dave Ginolfi (7-3)
too k fourth overall. Rounding o ut the top five
was the aggressive Stephen Stella, who rode to
cons istent 6-6 finishes and was the top twostro ke rider in the class.
The 2SDcc A class featured more o f the
same, as Welch got in front in both motos and
surv ived some nasty first-turn pile ups. Welch
won the class, but Stella (3- 3) was a strong
second , aboard a Kawasa ki KX250 . Chris
Schue ler was an impressive second in the first
mo to and took th ird overall w ith his 2-4
finishes. Ginolfi took another fourth overall, and
Plans slowed down in the first mota due to
fatigue but mustered a second-place finish in
the second mota, giving him an I 1-2 tally for
fifth overall on the day.
