Mankato MX, July 18, 2004
Multi-time District 23 champion, Gannon Audette, made his first trip of the year to Mankato a successful one, easily running up front in the 85cc 7-11 and 85cc 9-12 classes. With long overdue beautiful weather, nearly 600 riders packed into the hilly Kato Cycle club for the track’s last race of the season and Round 6 of the Motokazie Elko-Mankato Dealer Series. This was also the only race here of the year that included all the usual District 23 quad classes.

In the first 85cc 9-12 moto, 26 riders were going for the holeshot, but it was Audette coming out of the first turn in the lead. Taylor Kotewa kept him in sight before going down on the second lap. Audette pulled away from a five way battle for second. Derek Hom worked his way up to second at the flag, followed by Greg Mauser, Logan Marzahn, and Justin Regenscheid. In the second moto, Audette again got out to a great start and motored away. Kotewa made up for his first moto problems with a solid second. Following Audette in the overall tally was Hom (2-3), Marzahn (4-4), Nathan Thompson (6-5), and Regenscheid (5-6).

Another rider to win two classes was Brett Ohland, who won 16-24 A and 250cc A. Only bike problems in the first 125cc A race halted a likely three class sweep. In the first 16-24 A moto, Ohland grabbed the holeshot over Brian Hagedorn, Brandon Haas, and Joe Mueller. Ohland checked out as Mueller made his way into second early and stayed there. Scott Ehlenfeldt worked his way up to third followed by Hagedorn, and Haas. In the second moto, Ohland again took the lead at the start and jetted away. Ehlenfeldt was a solid second for the moto and overall. 125cc A winner, Mueller, worked his way up from a bad start for fourth in the moto, third overall. First year A rider, Haas, was next with a 5-3 score, followed by Hagerdorn’s 4-6.

This race was one of only two races in this series that include the quad classes. This was also a round of the District 23 Quad Premier series. Consistency was the name of the game in the talent deep premier classes. Cody Anderson used a 2-1 score to win the 250 A class and Jesse Tennis won the Open A class with a 2-4 tally.

Not all the quad classes are for pro-level riders. One combination of classes often dropped together is the Sport, Vet, and Women classes. The Vets were fastest on this day. Brett Reuvers easily won both motos. Peter Gjemese shook off Chad Weich both races for second. Further in the pack, Brett Huinker was the first Sport rider in both motos, and Jennifer Schimmelman rode to the Women’s overall victory.

No one was able to win three classes. The other riders to win two classes were Randy “Fish house” DiBartolo in the 85cc 12-15 and Super-Mini, Bruce Dehn in the Schoolboy and 125cc B classes, and Kirk Brown in 40+ B and 45+ B/C. Hitching Post, Cities Edge, Leo’s South, Motoprimo, and Cannon Falls HYS, and Scott all provide support for this series. Several rounds still remain, all at the Elko facility, before the championships are decided.
