place finish in the second moto
dropped him to fourth place,
leaving Suratt to claim the big
win aboard his Honda CR250,
followed by Mike Sleeter with a
3-2 for second overall and Jon
Ames with a 2-4 rounding out the
podium in third place.
Another highlight of the
second pro moto was Brandon
Scharer, the young rider piloting
a Honda CR500 to a blistering
third place. But coupled with
his 28th-place finish in the first
moto, it was only good enough
for 15th overall.
A total of 375 entries filled a
number of sportsman classes,
which included age classes
and three divisions for vintage
machines. The annual event ac-
commodates anything cam-less,
as the flier declares: "Any year,
make or model, as long as it's a
two-stroke."
The 50+ Expert class was
rather stacked, with some big
names highlighting the field.
Beta USA's Rodney Smith, five-
time GNCC champion and AMA
Motorcycle Hall of Famer, sailed
to victory with a 1-1 score, best-
ing Husqvarna's Andy Jefferson
who carded a 2-2 for second
place. Pete Murray completed
the 50+ podium with a 3-3.
Other notable winners in-
cluded Billy Jurevich in the 30+
Expert class, 60+ Expert
winner Bob Casper, and
Robbie Wageman who
topped the field in the 125
Pro class. CN
