Kyle Bard - Open B & 16-29 Class Winner |
In the Open B class, Hetrick Racing’s Kyle
Bard would bring home top honors when he made
math easy by going one and one on the day. Jamen
Davidovich rode to a moto one win, but could not
repeat his performance finishing a well respected
second place. Andrew Pruzinsky put his Lost Creek
Cycles Suzuki in the final podium position on
the weekend while AJ Bogino and Brad Carr round
out the top five.
The Open C class was dominated by local rider,
Toby Ownes on his #8x machine. Michael Samich
of St. Marys, PA mounted a Yamaha 450 for the
weekend to take home second place. Trevor Coots
of Bath, NY made the trip south worth his while
when he claimed the third overall position going
4-3 for the day. Stephen Locke would fall to John
Kozak in the final moto, but his consistency bumped
him into 4th overall, while Scott Waples rounded

Eugene Besok - Quad Beginner D Class Winner |
A Quad Beginner D class was formed for first
year/ new riders and found a very consistent field
as most riders would bring home matching moto
scores. Eugene Besok earned top honors with Robert

DJ Bero rode his Yamaha hard to snag fourth place
from Honda rider Dustin Wilson, finishing out
the top five.
The Pee Wee Quad (51-70cc) was dominated by Jeremy

been a major factor in his respective classes
in the national series and wasted no time polishing
his skills bringing home two moto wins. Curstin

Shawn Mciver - Mini Quad Winner |
The Mini Quad (71-90cc) Age 8-15 saw one of the
best battles of the day as Brandy Cottage and
Shawn Mciver would push each other all day long.
While Brandy would bring home a moto one win,
Shawn kicked it into overdrive and snapped up
the final moto win and the overall for the day.
With Brandy earning the second place overall,
Kelsey Laurine of Amity, PA wrapped up the third
place with her 3-3 moto finishes.
The Matt Bartosek Memorial race is often a season
closer to many however is also an anticipation
builder for most as they get one last glance at
the competition they will watch grace the tracks
in 2008. With most of the racing wrapped up for
the season, we wish all of you a safe offseason
of training and look forward to photographing
you next year as we cover racing across the country.
