Zach Willet on 2 Wheels |
Circleville, OH (6/19/2007) - Ninety
degrees and azure skies greeted the competitors at the
third round of the NASMOTO SuperMoto Regional Qualifier
for the Wheeling Cycle Supply Presents NASMOTO Ohio SuperMoto
GP at the famed Circleville Raceway Park in Circleville,
Ohio.
The most entertaining and hotly contested battle of
the day happened in the ATV Amateur class with the racers
running on the knife edge of adhesion. By race time
the field was cut in half because of numerous equipment
failures as teams attempted to dial-in their ATV racers
for the high-speed asphalt sections. Marc Noreuil got
his racer set up right and went on to take the win ahead
of hard charging John Odenhahl. In the Pro ATV class
Zac Willet took the win over Eric
Jennings.
The second great battle of the day goes to AMA Racing
Sr. Director of Technical Development Kevin Crowther
running a Yamaha and competing with local fast man Mike
Jenkins (KTM) in the Amateur +35 Vet class. From the
drop of the flag to the checkers the lead was always
in hot contention. Jenkins finally took the win by a
wheel and the two competitors could be seen shaking
hands and giving high-fives after the combat.
AMA SuperMoto Factory Yamaha pro racer, Mark Burkhart,
designed the dirt track section that provided a double
rhythm section, several table tops and a very fast transition
from the dirt to the asphalt. The design allowed the
racers to take the conservative line around the jumps
or take seconds off their lap times by charging the
jumps section.
Local hero, Andrew Hyder, had the SMX Open class well
in hand and celebrated with an outstanding wheelie only
to find his celebration was a lap early. His mishap
opened the door for Dave Arnold of Richmond Hill, Ontario
to put his Machine Racing, Troy Lee Design racer on
the top of the podium with Hyder in hot pursuit. Bloomington
Powersports team has a good day in the SMX 250 class
with Paul Allison taking the win over Arnold and teammate
Chase Guthrie.
Other items of note include Columbian roadracing class
champion, David Gaviria, using his knee dragging style
to good advantage and taking the SM1 Open win. Also,
Hoosier tire showed up and is looking to make their
mark in the ATV Supermoto marketplace.
