Grantsburg MX,August 29, 2004

Youth rider, Randy DiBartolo, who has come back strong from an early season injury, showed that he can go fast on any surface, easily running out front in Super Mini and 85cc 12-15. Nearly 300 riders dared go to a sand track in August and were rewarded with tacky conditions and mild temps. In the first Super Mini moto, DiBartolo immediately pulled away, putting over 20 seconds on the field by the end of the race. Behind him, a good dice for second ended with Eric Johnson getting the position over Brandon Schlegel and Alex Pepper. DiBartolo was out front all the way again in moto two despite the much rougher conditions. Schlegel beat Johnson in the moto for second overall. Pepper was again fourth.
Tom Peterson rode his new YZ 250 to the 40+ A win	The largest A class of the day was the 40 plus riders. In the first moto, Bill Engstrom held the lead until the white flag, but Kevin Schlegel and Tom Peterson stayed close. Then on the last lap, both Engstrom and Schlegel went down, allowing Peterson to take the win over Brian Fisher and Frank Barna. Schlegel and Engstrom recovered for fourth and fifth. In the second moto, Engstrom again lead early, with Schlegel, Peterson, and Fischer close. Schlegel got by on lap three and ran off with the win. Peterson also got by Engstrom, securing the overall win over Schlegel. Fisher ran strong in fourth until going down on the third lap. Barna’s consistent 3-4 landed him third overall.
This was the first time a summer race had been held at this track for a long time. Luckily, the unusually cool summer of 2004 continued, making it seem like another spring or fall race. Campers awoke to temperatures in the forties. Welcome to August in Northern Wisconsin. It quickly warmed up and other than about an hour of light rain in the afternoon, conditions were dry and mild. The moisture in the track held through out the day, which made for good traction and big berms, but also wheel swallowing holes. One rider that made even a rough track look smooth was John Dehn, who has qualified for several 125cc Nationals this year. He was back home at Grantsburg, doing what he does best, winning the 125cc A and 250cc A classes. Dehn is the points leader in both of those classes in District 23 and looks to be the first rider in over 10 years to win both premier classes. His brothers also joined in on the fun, with Bruce winning both Schoolboy and 125cc B, and Kyle borrowing John’s bike to win the 250cc B class.

Mark Brunsberg tries an unusual inside line.

In the combined 40+C / Womens's class, track knowledge seemed to be a key factor. Mark Brunsberg escaped his duties at the starting line long enough to win both motos of 40 Plus C. Meanwhile, lifelong club member, Jessica Kight, overcame several falls in both races to take the overall win in the Women’s class.

This was the final race of the year at this track. The Straight Arrows Enduro Riders plan to have races here again next year. It’s never too early to start practicing in the sand. One rider who got a lot of his practice on this day was ironman, Michael Rivard. He rode four classes in two different disciplines, winning three of them: Quad Vet, Quad Open A, and (Bike) 30+ B.
