SAN BERNARDINO, CA, JAN. 30
A fter a 30-year layoff, Brent Foes rode an
/""'\underpowered, undersuspended 1970
Hodaka 100 to the IGOcc Novice·c1ass win at
the first 5VRG race of the year at Glen Helen.
The 100cc class is a new class for SVRG, in
addition to the regular Vintage and Evolution
classes. It proved to be loads of fun for the
competitors who were able to get bikes together in time for the race.
In the first combined IOOcc moto, Foes won
the Novice portion without much trouble.
"Well, besides not riding in about 30 years, it
was different," he replied when asked to
describe his first moto. "It was like going
through a time warp. It was a lot of fun!"
Foes took the checkered flag and the win,
with Dan Scharf following in second. In the
Intermediate class, Brad DeHore, also on a
cleanly restored Hodaka, topped the first moto,
with Lee Fabry, on a Steens Hodaka, in second
and Paul DuChene rounding out the top three.
In the Expert class, it was Chris Corum taking
first on a XR/CT Honda and Norm Bigelow
finishing in second on a Kawasaki.
In the second 100cc moto, the track was
pretty rough, which made it much more difficult
for the little 100s to climb the uphill on the
Glen Helen back track. Everyone survived, with
the exception of Bigelow. who made a late
entrance to the race after missing the start.
Again, Foes put his prior Hodaka experience to
use and won handily, over Scharf, in the Novice
class. Fabry took the lead early in the
Intermediate class but succumbed to the
pressure of DeHore and had to settle for
second, followed by DuChene in third overall.
Corum and Bigelow were first and second in
the Experts.
Maico-mounted Darrel Sedig fought a tough
battle but prevailed in the Evolution Two
Intermediate class. In the first mota, Sedig
gated second to Ed Reyes. He kept Reyes in
Sight for most of the moto but could not get
close enough to attempt a pass. Conditioning
was the problem.
46
Brent Foes came out of retirement
and won the new 100" Novice
class at the SVRG event at Glen
Helen Raceway Park.
"I took a few months off to build a house,"
Sedig said, "so 1haven't ridden for a while."
At the finish, it was Reyes in first, with Sedig
second and Speck rounding out the top three.
Between motos, Sedig must have been
digging deep for some inspiration to get him
through the second mota, because he got the
holeshot and looked strong right out of the
gate. It ended up being 5edig, Reyes and Errol
Leduc battling tooth and nail for most of the
moto. You couldn't fit another bike between
the trio. At the finish, it was Sedig who grabbed
the checkers first, with Reyes following in
second and Leduc taking third. Overall, it was
Sedig, Reyes, and then Speck, who narrowly
edged out Leduc for third on the day.

CAROLYN REED
PURVIS, MS, JAN. 30
The Mississippi Hi-Point Club hosted round
two of the SERA Hare Scrambles Series,
sending 223 riders on a 7-mile loop that included a motocross track and a mixture of singletrack woods and logging roads. An abundant
helping of off-camber trails and rolling hills set
the southern boys up for the fast Blazing Saddies Hare Scrambles.
The reigning SERA Hare Scrambles
champion set the woods ablaze, saddled on his
2005 Gas Gas DE300. Making it two for two,
Reed has opened up the season nicely, claiming
early wins while competing with new faces.
Grabbing the holes hot, Reed, Glen Myatt
and Steve Nicholas were lined up at the first
turn in a perfect row, with the KTM-mounted
Myatt leading them into the woods. Reed
passed Nicholas and Myatt before entering the
motocross track and held the lead until lap
four. Cliff Ousley then took the lead halfway
through the fourth lap, gaining precious
seconds on Reed.
At the end of the fifth lap, Reed came
through the scoring tent just inches behind
Ousley, and then he made the critical pass.
Breaking away from Ousley, Reed set out on his
fastest lap of the day - 19 minutes and 30
seconds. On the last lap, Ousley went down in
a fast turn on the motocross track while trying
to catch up after gassing up. Reed took the win
with 45 seconds to spare.
Will McConnell was on the gas in the 200cc
A class, sporting his one-of-a-kind "KTM
graphics." His impressive ride gave him the
class win, along with IOth overall for the day.
"I had fun!" McConnell enthused. "The loop
was almost like an enduro test section. I want
to thank Central Alabama Motorsports for all
their help at the races."
Gas Gas pilot Bennie Waldrop edged out
Randy Edgen in the Super Senior class, leaving
third place for Jim Hillburn.
"My bike ran good," Waldrop said. "The
track was great, yet safe. The trails were
watered just right - no dust. Thanks to
Hattiesburg Cycles for the bike!"
After a spill and several surgeries last year,
Darin laFleur of the Vet B class managed to get
into second place after the first woods section
but then crashed on the fourth lap in some offcamber stuff.
"It took me too long to get going again, and I
ended up finishing third," LaFleur lamented.
"The Hattiesburg Cycles Suzuki is a fun bike to
race hare scrambles on, and it did really well."
The Mississippi Hi-Point Club's hard work
and efforts in delivering another successful
event are much appreciated.
