Earlier in the day, the District conducted their annual meeting and the year-end awards were given to the B and C classes. Then an auction was held for some pieces of riding gear and other memorabilia. The highest bid ended up being for a Mike Larrocco jearsy, going for over $300. All together, over $1100 was raised for the Aplastic Anemia research foundation.

Not all the winners of bikes had to work as hard for them. Drawings were held for three bikes. Jake Wessling won a YZ85 from Larson’s, Patrick Peterson took home a YZ450, also from

The awards started with the Youth riders and worked their way up to the Fossils (50+). Each champion has accomplished something difficult, which makes multiple championships that much more significant. This year, the only Mini rider to win two classes was Gannon Audette in 85cc 7-11 and 85cc 9-12. This continues an impressive streak for him. Since riding his 50 to his first District 23 championship class in 2000, he has won one at least one championship every year since. This year’s titles were his seventh and eighth.

Very few people know the choice for this award prior to its announcement. One person, in particular, thought he knew, but didn’t. As the outgoing award winner, Scott Cripps, was explaining the award and how the recipient is chosen, he stunned the recipient by announcing that this year’s winner was Mike Quinn. Not usually one who is short on words, an emotional Quinn was quite brief as he thanked everyone and reiterated his deep respect and admiration for the late two-time world champion.

As the awards moved onto the big bikes, only one rider was able to win three classes. Nick Claire won Schoolboy, 125cc B, and 250cc B. Joining Bostrom as two-time winners were past champions, Frank Jackson, in 25+ A and 30+ A and Mike Graif in 40+ A and 45+ A. Graif’s earliest championships pre-date computer records by at least a decade, but he most likely has the longest span between District 23 Motocross championships. If you are waiting for him to slow down, it could be a while.

As people were filing out with their loot, it seemed like most everyone was walking out with something pretty nice. Scott Cripps was instrumental in getting a lot of sponsors to ante up. Multi-time Women’s class champion, Tiffany Rumpka, was in charge of organizing the banquet this year and received high marks by all for the quality of the facility and of the event itself. As with any of the events, many other District volunteers worked hard behind the scenes to make the banquet the success that it was. With the year ending on a high note, racers were already looking past the long winter ahead and towards the 2006 season.
