GRAGG PRAIRIE CITY, CA, JAN. 22 M ore than 200 eager little riders were anxious to get the season going, as the last race had been canceled due to treacherous weather and poor track conditions. A whole new lineup of Youth racers was ready to go on this cold, foggy day. There were also some old faces in new classes, and a few familiar faces were missing, as some of the fastest Youth riders had chosen to try their skills against the adults. For the 27th year, the Poika Dots Motorcycle Club put on a great race, with fast signup lines, well-marked courses and friendly assistance. In his first race as an A rider, Michael Bettencourt took the holeshot off the A 80cc line, followed by Steven Godman (31so a new A rider) and Colton Hakker. They headed off on the 6-mile course, which included motocross areas, some technical areas, a supermotard section on a paved road, and lots of standing water, slippery rocks and mud. Number-one plate holder Jonathan Davis was the leader of lap one, just a bikelength ahead of Hakker, who in turn was a bikelength ahead of fast girl Kacy Martinez. Hakker and Davis swapped pOSitions back and forth the whole race, with Davis leading laps one, three and four, while Hakker led laps two, five and six - and emerged the winner. Martinez comfortably held the third-place position the entire race, riding hard and consistent. "I like leaving on the front row," Martinez noted. "You don't get roosted as much. But actually I got a bad start, so I did get roosted." The B 80cc line had Eric Habenicht out front, followed by Tanner Tremaine and Ryan Habenicht. Kristen Pinto nabbed the holeshot in the Girls B class. In her first race back after an injury in November, Brooke Hodges held the lead for lap one. "I took it easy," Hodges said. "I had to see how my shoulder felt." Pinto followed her. On lap two, Kasie Creson moved into the lead. "I got lost on the first lap," admitted Creson, who then held the lead until the finish, followed by Hodges and Pinto. Almost SO girls raced on Saturday. The 50cc class is always fun to watch. These little guys can go! Racing into the first corner first was fast guy Tucker Larrieu, followed by Dylan Wold and Kristopher Eddie. After leading for two laps, Larrieu had to pull out on lap three due to mechanical problems, but he came back later on a different bike to take fifth place in the 65cc B class. Topping the 50cc A podium was Eddie (who also placed second in the 65cc C class), the second overall finisher was Wold, and third overall went to Anthony Franks. RESULTS A SO: I. Jordan Fish: 2.
