Springville, IN (4/22/2008) -
For the second round of the IXCR series we were
blessed with wonderful weather, a great track,
and a partnership with District 15 which added
up to a great day at the track! This was are first
race to offer District 15 points and the bikes
showed up to earn points for two different series
at the same time! With almost 400 entries Sunday
the track was sure to get rutted up fast.
Next up was the youth quads, and I have to
admit this may be my favorite race of the day.
The kids that race these things are some of
my best buddies at the track and they are all
willing to give a hand and put on a show! Matthew
Harris made the drive over from Ohio and won
the Super Mini class. In the 90cc production
class Charlie Welch and Vincent Harris did battle
all race long and the parents of these boys
were on pins and needles waiting on them to
come around each lap! Charlie got the best of
Vincent this race but I bet we’ll see
this battle all year long! In the 90cc stock
class Travis Pettit was victorious with Lee
Smith and Cole Setser in tow. Sadie Welch won
her class and hopes to carry this momentum over
to the nationals.

The Indiana
XC ATV Racing Series featured a Creek
Jump as an alternative to taking taking
a longer way around
|
The adult classes faced a brutal, yet entertaining,
9.8 mile course which included almost every obstacle
known to cross country racing. The creek jump
was the hit of the day, where you came across
an open grass field and launched over a creek
or took the long easy way around. Several spectators
gathered here as this was a great place to catch
a glimpse of your favorite riders.
For the quad race we had 185 entries and it
was a site to see an open field filled with
anxious riders and vehicles. Donald Ockerman
continued his winning ways by taking the overall
and pro class wins with Todd Demaree in the
second slot. Jonathan Fugate seems to be a man
on a mission this year and he won the A class
while Scott Graham and Wayne Tharp followed
him the finish line. Jake “The Snake”
Stonebraker has been up against some hard luck
this year, but he broke thru and took the “W”!
He had a great race with Justin Lewicki, Travis
Mader, and Tyler “T-Rex” Moore in
the 16-25 B Class as they all swapped spots
several times. The 26+ B Class saw Mike Goss
in the third place spot and Seth Irwin as the
runner up. Matt Sillery was the victor in this
class. Justin Kirchhoff put his Honda out in
front of the Humphrey boys on this day but I’m
sure Zach and Jay will be back to try for the
top spot in the 16-21 C Class. The 22-29 C Class
was won by Garry Stallard,

The IXC
ATV Race had a 185 rider entries
|
and Russell Keck was second with S.I.C.C. Racing’s
Jonathan Benham taking third. Mike Muskoff showed
a Kawi can finish up front in the 30+ C Class
and one Humphrey boy did finish out front! Jake
won the D class/First Year Racer with Ryan Edmondson
and Chad Wiggins in second and third. John East
was our sport class winner. And Brad Morrison
took his Snyder Motor Sports Raptor 250 to the
front of the sport lites class and Bruce Marshall
did the same in the Vet 30+ class. Dan Bradford
looked like a Green Machine on his 400ex when
sailing over the creek jump but he could quite
catch David Robinson who won the senior 40+
class. Josh Kissinger won the UTE class in dominating
fashion on his freshly rebuilt Moto-Xperts utility
and looked to be having a blast on the rough
and rocky course.
That basically sums up the happenings of April
20th in the IXCR world and we hope everyone
had a great time and is eager to come back for
more. We’ll take a few weeks off and see
you again on May the 18th in Southern Indiana
where Demaree Farms will host round three.
Until next time, Stay between the trees!
