SCOTT STALL TAKES FOUR VICTORIES DURING ROUND 3 OF THE CENTRAL ROADRACING ASSOCIATION SEASON
The Central Roadracing Assocation reached the mid-way point of the 2012 season with the July 6-8 event at Brainerd International Raceway’s Competition Course. With the season winding down the Championship picture is becoming clearer. Shane Fletcher continued his charge toward the Overall Championship and holds a healthy lead over 15-year old Kaleb De Keyrel. In the Novice ranks, Brandon Soine has the Championship firmly in his grasp with a massive lead over Chris Knauf.
The highlight of the weekend for most fans and riders was special guest, Jake Zemke. Zemke was planning on racing a TPL Racing Ducati 848 but suspension issues scuppered his attempt at Middleweight glory. That didn’t stop the fans from lining up for pictures, autographs and great conversation with the AMA rider. Zemke was a fantastic ambassador for AMA Pro Racing, giving an interview with the CRA announcer and even acting as a mechanic for Novice superstar Jordan Imrie.
There were many fantastic performances over the weekend, but Scott Stall was finally put together a solid weekend by bringing home four victories in the “big” classes and rarely finishing off the podium. Shane Fletcher and Kaleb De Keyrel continued to impress, bringing home multiple victories and a brace of podium finishes as well.
The EX250 grid saw the return of reigning CRA Champion Christian Schmidt aboard his #1 Momentumphoto.net Kawasaki. Schmidt put together some great runs but being off of motorcycles since last September meant he wasn’t able to regain the dominant performances of the 2011 season. While he featured in the battles for the win with CRA veterans Bryant Soberg and Mark Dargis, he was only able to take to the top step of the podium once in the six races he ran. Nonetheless, it was a successful return to racing for one of the CRA’s top riders.
The Lightweight races featured incredibly close battles for the win between Jon Champ, Kyle Knutson and Derek Gallion. Knutson held the advantage on Saturday, taking two wins with Gallion taking home the third. Jon Champ made it known that he doesn’t rest on Sundays by taking all three victories home with him, leaving Knutson, Eric Fox and Dan Nygaard to fight over the remaining podium spots.
Veteran Jim Wiles also put in some very inspiring rides on his Suzuki GSX-R750 throughout the weekend. He was noticeably faster as the weekend wore on and he finished out the final race of the weekend with a great pass on Sean Edgett’s Yamaha R1 around the outside of the Turn 8 Carousel.
Congratulations to the riders mentioned above and to all of the CRA riders and volunteers for another amazing weekend!
