Bergy and Red
Rocket Scorch
the Rockl
By JOHNNY GUITAR
CASTLE ROCK, WA, JULY 17
T
he weather was scorching, and so was the
racing at the Castle Rock short track on this
night! Alex " Bergy" Bergman and je ff " Re d
Rocket" Rister each won two classes.
The Mad Dog class saw Bergman jump out
to a big lead, over Sophia "Lore n" Hayes. Bergy
had a monster lead at the finish, and Hayes took
second, with Tyson Lorentson in third.
Bergman may be small in stature, but he
showed he can do big things in his first ride on
the Celorie Brothers Truck ing CR2S0. Paul
Castillo took the lead in the 2S0cc Modified
main . Bergm an tr ied him inside and ou tside
until Castillo opened the door in tum one with
two laps to go. Bergy made the pass and won
go ing away , with Cas t illo second and Shelby
"Cobra" Miller third.
Rister grabbed the holes hot in the Over 30
ma in and flat ran away from the field .
Californian Richard Arnold worked his way into
second , w ith Fred " Flintsto ne" Brackenbury
holding on to third.
It loo ked like Rister's win strea k might co me
to an end when Vince Holt took the early lead
in the O ver 40 main. After suffering defeat at
the hands of Holt more than once this season ,
Rister was more determ ined than ev e r. In a
bold move , Rister passed Holt on the outs ide of
tum four and never looked back. Holt finished
second , while Tony "Supe r Un known" Fo x
came home th ird.
At the flash of the green light, Tyler "Missile"
Munsell and Keyshawn jordan we re locked in a
battle over first place in the SOcc Beginner class.
Lap after lap, these tw o sta yed so close, you
could have covered them with a blanket. At the
line, Munsell just barely held off jo rdan in the
closest finish of the night.
After watching his younge r brother Noah
"Cream Soda" Miller win the 6Scc DTX class,
Taylor "The Tiger " Miller too k co ntrol of th e
80cc Beginner main. Shayna Beach rode he r
heart out but had to settle for second.
Greg Cox snatched the lead in the Twins
main event , but "Roc ke t Ray" Carroll had other
ide as. Carroll got a good drive off turn two and
blasted by Co x on the outside entering turn
three . Dick " Facto ry Norton" Slush er was
holding down a solid third until a miscue in tum
one allowed Dale "Recreation" Parks to take
the posltlon. Late in the race, Carroll was flying
out front on the Lou Kinish Triumph , while Cox
was try ing his best to hold off Par ks. Though
Parks made a last-ditch attempt com ing out of
tum four, he came up short at the finish line.
Newly crowned AMA Grand Champion J.D.
Beach put his stamp of authority on both 8Scc
