Pit Bike Summer Series
Round 3: TV Land
No Rain,
and a Streak
Has Been Broken
By DENNIS ALBREWCZYNSKI
PIERPONT, OH, JUNE 25
I
t was hard to believe, but this was a race at TV Land, and it
didn't rain. Although, with temperatures in the upper 80s and
a dusty track, a little rain would have been welcome on this
muggy June afternoon.
The opening race was for the SOce Production and 50ce
Open classes. The Production class ran with two competitors.
Shawn Brink swept both motos, with Trevor Rockwell finishing
funner-up. The 50ce Open contest was a different story,
however, as newcomer Dante lacozici showed up on an
Xtreme Pit Bike and put on a clinic. He swept both motas in
dominating fashion over Tony Desarro and Anthony Fatica.
The Mid-Size Production class was up next. Trevor Vines got
the holeshot in moto one. Josh Powell stayed close for a while,
but.in the end, Vines held on for the win. David Britton finished
third. Moto two was a carbon copy of the first mota. It was all
Vines, with Powell and Britton finishing in that order.
The final race of the day was the Clutch class. Erie,
Pennsylvania's P.J. Dylewski has been the man to beat, coming
into round three undefeated. Just as Ricky Carmichael's luck
came to an end in Southwick, Dylewski met the same fate.
Brian George got the jump off the gate in mota one, with
Dylewski on his tail. The pair got out ahead of the rest of pack
and did battle. Every corner was like a chess match, with each
rider carefully choosing their lines. Dylewski did everything that
he possibly could to get around George, riding like a man
possessed, but in the end, George held him off and took the
moto win. Underpowered on a XR I QO, Ben Richter put in a
valiant effort to finish third.
When moto two started off, it looked like a repeat, with
George once again taking the early lead. This time, Dylewski's
hard work paid off, as he was able to sneak underneath George
after the finish-line jump. George tried to get the lead back in
the next few turns, sticking his front wheel in whenever he
could. Dylewski showed why he is the points leader and held
off George for the win. Matt Soety finished third in the mota.
Overall, the win went to Dylewski, second to George, and
third to 50ety.
After three rounds, the series is starting to take shape. In
the 50cc Production class, Rockwell holds an eight-point lead
over Shawn Brink, and Jason Herman sits in third, 12 points
behind the leader. The SOcc Open has two competitors tied
for the lead; Eric Searles and Dante lacozici share the top
spot, with Sam Bluedorn five points behind them. Track owner
Vines is dominating the Mid-Size Production class, with an 18-
point lead over Powell and a 23-point gap over third-placed
Britton. Dylewski sits on top of the Clutch class with an 18point lead over George, and Soety is in third, just two points
behind George.
