The day started with a mildly threatening cloud pattern and occasional light showers, just as forecast. The somewhat sandy soil was in great shape for the 450 entrants. Early in the order was 25+ A, Povolny’s first race of the day. The Honda 450 rider, who conducts motocross schools when he’s not on the national circuit, schooled his competitors in this race, easily leading home Aaron Carlson, Jed O’Connor, Joe Hurd, and Mike Johnson.

About half through first set of motos, despite predictions to the contrary, it began to rain and didn’t stop until the second motos started. The extra water on the track in the second 25+ A moto didn’t seem to slow Povolny. He took the lead immediately and stretched it to over 20 seconds. Hurd work his way up to finish second in the moto and overall. He was followed by Carlson (2-4) Johnson (5-3), and O’Connor (3-7).

National contender, James Povolny, styled out front all day.

The 250 A class featured three very talented Minnesota riders that don’t normally race against each other. Povolny races the national Supercross and Outdoor Series and had just finished a career high 9th at Budds Creek the week before. John Dehn travels through out the state racing the District 23 Premier Series and went into the race leading both Premier classes. Representing the locals was Scott county’s own, Brett Ohland, who is most often found out front either in the Elko-Mankato Dealer Series or at one of the many supercross races that Motokazie promotes.

The track was quite wet for the first 250 A race Dehn pulled the holeshot, but Povolny quickly stormed by, leading all the way. Dehn kept him in sight with Ohland not far behind him. Scott Ehlenfeldt worked his way up to fourth. In the second 250 A moto, 125 A winner, Ohland, got the holeshot, with Povolny and Dehn close behind. Povolny passed Ohland at the end of the second lap and pulled away. Dehn began reeling in Ohland, passing him on the last lap for second in the moto and overall. The 16-24 A winner, Ehlenfeldt, was again fourth.

This was Round 5 of the Motokazie Elko-Mankato Dealer Series. The track is located just south of the Twin Cities. Because of the proximity to the metro area and the practices that are held here every Thursday evening, many of the racers are very familiar with the track. This usually results in competitive racing through out the race order.

One of the more competitive classes was the 30+ B class. Jeff Sandback won both motos, but he had to work hard for both victories. In the first moto, Brad Carter grabbed the holeshot, but crashed shortly after and was not a factor in the race. Sandback worked his way up from a mid-pack start and into the lead. Paul Gardner rode his Ex-Mario YZ to second followed by Tim Woodwick, Anthony Lake, and John Mulligan. In moto two, Mark Riech, Sandback, and Lake went at it early. Lake went down and Sandback pulled away, leading by 12 seconds at the end. Riech held onto second, but a first moto 11th left him out of the overall top five. Gardner ended up second with a 2-5 tally, followed by Mulligan (5-4), Lake (4-6), and a second moto charging, David Genites (8-3). Sandback also won the 40+ B class.

Mark Reich leads Anthony Lake early in the second 30+ B moto.

There were several other riders winning two classes. Dalton Carlson topped the 65cc 10-11 and 85cc 7-11 classes, Jesse Kangas won 85cc 12-15 and Super-Mini, Bruce Dehn took Schoolboy and 125cc B, 30+B and 40+B, and Mike “fossil” Quinn won 45+ B/C and the lonely 50+ class. Hitching Post, Cities Edge, Leo’s South, Motoprimo, and Cannon Falls HYS, and Scott all provide support for this series. Four rounds remain and many of the class championships are still very tight.
