On a day with stifling heat and tough competition, Brody Penman was able to sweep the 65cc 10-11 and 85cc 7-11 classes.
The race was also the fourth round of the Motokazie Dealer Series, was a District 23 Premier round, and had
Kawasaki contingency money at stake. With mercilessly sunny skies overhead, and most rider hitting their
mid-season stride, all the elements were in place for some tight racing.
In the first 65cc race, Dillon Sprague lead, going hard into the first turn, but washed out. Penman was there
to capitalize and was followed out of the turn by Joey Greig. Penman quickly stretched his lead over Logan
Callahan, while a close dice for third would see the final order as Grieg, a recovering Sprague, and Joshua
Anderson. In the second race, Penamn again jetted away, with Callahan in second. Greig ended up with a DNF,
so the rest of the top five overall were Sprague (4-3), Brett Holland (6-4), and Anderson (5-5).

The Premier riders were given a bit of a break because of the high 90s, high-humidity conditions, running
eight laps, instead of the 10-12 they may have ran under more reasonable conditions. In the first race, moto
one of 125cc A, John Dehn looked to have the holeshot, but went down in the first turn, taking quite a few of
his competitors with him. Matt Woodtke lead the first few laps with fellow Yamaha pilot, James Carsten, in
second, but the Dehns were coming. John and Bruce had got up from the firs turn and were making their way to
the front, with Jason Johnson moving forward also. Suddenly, Wodtke dropped back and John and Bruce were 1-2,
where they would stay. Carsten held off Johnson for third with Charlie Wise working up to fifth.
In the second moto, John Dehn fought off Carsten for the holeshot. When they came back from the hills, it was
Bruce in the lead, followed closely by Carsten and Randy Reierson. In one lap, John moved into second. He wasn’t
able to put a dent in Bruce’s lead and that is how they would finish. A great dice for third was won by Reierson.
Overall, it was Bruce (2-1), John (1-2), Wise (5-4), Johnson (4-5), and Carsten (3-6).
Jason Johnson rode hard both 125 A motos.
In the first moto of 250 A, Wise and Jason Doyle made hard contact on the short start straight, but both stayed up.
John Dehn lead Bruce, and Robert Kohl out of the first turn and into the hills. John put a gap on Bruce, who in
turn, comfortably lead the rest of the field. Doyle made it up to third, with Trevor Bakken and Wise next. Bruce
and John ran 1-2 in moto two also, collecting the top two overall spots on their Caswell Kawasakis. Doyle (3-4),
Kohl (7-3), and Bakken (4-6) followed.
The facility, Kato Cycle Club, is located in the scenic Minnesota River valley, approximately one-hour southwest
of the Twin Cities. The property is owned by a club of the same name, who holds amateur, and occasionally
national-level, hill climb events. The back section of the track, which begins shortly after the start, consists
primarily of riding up and down long, steep hills with a few fast sweeper/straight-aways mixed in. After that,
you jump down into the front part of the track. This is the only part of the track most spectators will see and
has a more modern layout, including a rhythm section and a few tabletops and small fly-aways.
This is the second year that District 23 has run separate Women and Girls classes. The growth of the Girls class
has been steady since the start, despite some decreases in overall participation. In their first moto, Tayva
Strom got the holeshot and steadily pulled away. D23 Championship contender, Mikayla Quinn, held second the
entire race, followed by Bailey Dupey, Samantha Sprague, and Makenzie Franklin. The story was much the same for
the second moto as Strom and Quinn moved into position early. Behind them overall was Sprague (4-3), Dupey (3-5),
and Franklin (5-4).

Penman won his second class in 85cc 7-11, taking the overall with a sweep over Holden Mock, Mario Eiden, Dane
Rosenwinkel, and Girls class winner, Strom. Going against the green tide, Penman rode a KTM 65 and Suzuki 85 to
his wins. Only three other riders were able to win two classes. Eric Espe took the overalls in the crowded 125 Jr and 125 B
classes, Robert Kohl swept 25+ A and 30+ A, and Doug Danman won 25+ C and 30+ C.
Breaking an almost 25 year drought (yes, years), the normally unmentionable, Bob Chase, won a moto, although not
by much. In the second race, he followed that up with something else that hadn’t happened for almost as long,
a crash-related DNF. Biker and rider walked/rolled away, a little worse for wear, but repairable (Editor – except
for maybe his ego).
The Motokazie Dealer Series is helped made possible by Delano Sports Center, Cities Edge Sports, Scott Goggles,
Bobcat, Berms and Blacktop, and PowerMadd. The series moves next to Elko Motocross on July 22.
