Spring Creek MX Park hosted round six of their Super Series, July 13th.  A storm blew through Friday night, but Saturday morning was sunny, windy and beautiful racing weather.  The Spring Creek crew got working on the track getting it in tip top shape for practice.  There must have been moto-fever in the air because more and more racers pulled in throughout Saturday making for a great turnout Sunday.  Over 600 racers registered to compete and enjoy the Spring Creek facility.

If you've never attended the Saturday evening worship service, check it out!  The music,  by The Spring Creek Praise Band, was great and Pastor Kristine Marshall did such a nice job.  Then, treats were provided after which were a big hit with the racers!  And, if you are a mom, then I know you appreciated the arts and crafts that were provided this weekend.  The theme was a Pirate Party.  My kids decorated their own pirate bandanas, eye patches and swords and came home with lots of treats!  Some of the other kid friendly activities were a Treasure Hunt, Smores and Cupcake Decorating and Candy Bar Bingo.  Spring Creek really celebrates the family aspect of motocross by hosting so many kid and family friendly activities.   Thanks to the whole crew at Spring Creek who make these great race weekends possible!

Sometimes it may seem like you keep hitting a brick wall and you can't break through it, but NEVER GIVE UP!   I like the quote from Randy Pausch, "Brick walls are there for a reason.  They give us a chance to show how badly we want something."

Sunday, June 29th was a perfect day for racing.  Sunny, breezy and 70's.  The track was perfect after some much needed rain on Saturday.  

Meanwhile, here are some highlights from a few of the mini classes.  

65cc (Ages 10-11)

These kids do a three lap race out on the big track and do a great job!  In moto one, Jerry Robin hit the holeshot turn first with Blake Halstead, Jake Stewart and Nolan Heppner right behind him.   Robin took the win with Stewart finishing second and Halstead third.  Kaleb Dekeyrel raced up the pack on his Cobra taking a fourth place finish in this moto.  

In moto two, Robin snagged the holeshot once again with Stewart and Heppner behind him.  Something must have happened to Jake Stewart and Blake Halstead because I lost track of them (which is easy to do with a track the size of Spring Creek).  Meanwhile, Kaleb Dekeyrel picked off the competition until he worked his way up to the number two spot.  Jerry Robin took the win, Dekeyrel second and Nolan Heppner third.

65cc (Ages 7-9)

Hunter Teichrib grabbed the holeshot with Benjamin Adamson and Grant Hecht flying behind him.  It's amazing how fast these little guys fly around that track!  Teichrib took the win in moto one, with Hecht second and Adamson third.  

In the second moto, you should have seen Adamson and Teichrib hit the holeshot together.  Then Adamson shot ahead and Teichrib was literally right on his fender!  Wow, can you imagine what kind of action these two will be showing us in a few years!
In this moto, Adamson took the win, Hecht second and Teichrib third.

85cc (Ages 12-15)

In moto one, Cody Breeden pulled the holeshot with Jeremy Martin, Zach Williams and Cody Ockenga tailing him.  Martin didn't waste time taking over the lead with Jesse Wentland moving into second place and Breeden in third.  These boys ride fast and furious so mistakes will cost you, because before you know it, someone will blow right by you. Having a son that rides this class, we see the learning curve and believe me he learns something new every time he is out on that track!  It's great experience and a lot of fun!  There was some battling going on between Jesse Wentland and Zach Williams but the final results in this moto were Martin taking the win, Williams second and Wentland third.

In moto two it looked like Jeremy Juliot snagged the holeshot with Wentland in second and Martin in third.  Once again, Martin took over the lead followed by Wentland and Williams.  Martin took the win, Wentland second and Williams third.  Great racing!

85cc (Ages 9-11)

Taylor Witt is the man to beat in this class.  He hits the track, grabs the holeshot and doesn't look back.  In moto one, Brody Penman was chasing down Witt and Jake Stewart and Henry Miller were behind him.  Witt took the win, Penman second and Miller third.

In moto two, once again Taylor Witt took the holeshot.  This time Jake Stewart was chasing him with Brody Penman and Henry Miller on his tail.  Stewart went down and the final result in this moto was Witt taking the win, Penman second and Miller third.   Comments >>
