February 2022 23 Showing the work and commitment put in by the WRMC crew, Sunday's course was mostly unique to Saturday's trail ride and any carryover trail was run in a different direc on or sequence. The course was just about all you could ask for. A step-up jump and a few turns in an open field following the start led straight into a single-track sec on winding back and forth through a small valley before cascading down a side hill adjacent to the parking area where many specta- tors lined up to cheer on the racers as they eventually rode across the "breakers" of the hill climb for all to see. A rip down the longest straight on the MX track, with several vintage bike and photographer friendly tabletops, followed before an extended run of flow- ing single track dumped the bikes onto the winding GP track where many riders, clear of the confines and difficult passing of the single-track, diced with their championship rivals in last lap efforts to cross the finish line first. Vintage Race Bre Reichart had his Puch out front and pulling away in the overall standings, but a er clocking his fastest lap on lap three, he encountered bad luck on the ensuing final lap and handed the lead and run- ner-up place over to Dave Kutskel (Yamaha) and Josh Zerance (Can-Am). A disappointed Bre held on for the final podium spot. Kevin Marshall and Glenn Hershey put in solid top ten performances while pu ng an exclama on point on their 2021 class championships with wins in the Vintage 50+ and 60+ intermediate classes respec vely. Richard Colahan made the most of a much-an cipated return from an injury suffered earlier in the year with a Classic Intermediate victory. Steadily creep- ing up in the standings all year, Brandon Rowe once again registered the top novice posi on and a Vintage class win. Post Vintage Race When John Ashcra is spo ed aboard his big-bore Honda at the star ng line, the safe money is bet on him taking the overall win, and this event was no different. Ashcra led every lap on the CR480 with Brian Grove and Lee Hickok trying to run him down to no avail as the two se led for filling out the podium in the overall and AA class. Mark Uth nailed down his second Post Vintage 60+ Expert win in a row on his IT250 followed by John Brun- ne and James McCommon in second and third.
