DOUBLE-HEADER WEEKEND OF ACP AND MOTOLAND - 2022 ACP’s Line-up Ready on Saturday, 11th of November Another ideal weather day and 17 AZOT racers showed up to capture some points and have some fun. Some of the brave souls signed up to double-triple-quadruple other classes for some fun self-abuse. Hmmm, now who could we be talking about? First gate of Race 10 had Masters Shane Criswell #382 and Brian Sharp #54, along with Experts Troy Lang #61m, Kurk Quinn #52, Alberto Toscano #117, Jeff Neil #40, Eric Maass #520 and Victor Stoeckmann #767 launch off the gate together. It was...

5 Down - 5 To Go: Canyon on Sunday, November 6 Since the wild November monsoon forced Race 3 at Motoland to be rescheduled for November 13, the Round 6 race became our half-way point. Fall Series – half way finished. Checking the website for both the Fall Series points and the Top Ten for 2022 – there’s still a lot of room for drastic changes. Five more opportunities to snag some solid points (especially if there’s a low turn-out… hmmm) anything can happen for both Series and Top Ten finishers. With impacts of broken bones, broken bikes, competing travel,...

Canyon - Sunday, November 21: Total of 23 racers: 3 Master, 4 Expert, 10 Intermediate and 6 Novice. Race 3 featured some heated battles! Ryan Pedigo (#328) held off Rick Arnold (#97) and Tee Stefaniak (#49), but then a last lap bobble from Pedigo allowed Rick to take over - another exciting Master show to the very end. Second moto Ryan jumped out to the front position and maintained it, despite Tee’s hot pursuit. Unfortunately, Rick had to leave for an emergency so he wasn’t there to compete. Expert class welcomed Jeff Neil (#40) back to the valley, escaping the...

Motoland - Sunday, Nov 14: On to day 2 of the double header weekend, we shared the newly extended Vet track with the AVDRA group – getting Race 7 - so we had a chance to watch the vintage bikes on the track. Of our 22 racers, we had 4 Master, still only 2 Experts, 10 Intermediate and 6 Novice. A welcome back to few more racers we haven’t seen for a while – Matt Martin, Ron March, Rich Schauwecker and Paul Blankenship. Calling all Experts – we miss you. Robert Naughton, a well-known pro from the 80’s, joined us...

Then came the double-header racing weekend! ACP - Saturday, Nov 13: Race 6 had all classes running together – 20 racers total: 3 Master, 2 Experts, 12 Intermediate and 3 Novice. Kudos to the Intermediates – strong participation numbers! We had some energetic guys double-classing: Scott Bergstrom, Kurk Quinn, Eric Maas and, of course, Brian Sharp. Consistent show of experience over youth! No surprise, Brian Sharp – aka Ironman – ran 4 races … yep, that’s 8 motos!! And finished first in 3 out of four! In our Master competition, Ryan Pedigo took the win in moto 1. He continued...
