Entering the final race with a twelve point lead; Nick Dunn and his gregscustom.com KTM grabbed both 250 Pro moto victories on Saturday to clinch the 250 Pro Championship. Dunn opened the Fall Championship on Sunday right where he left off with another pair of moto victories. Mike Harms and David Ledarney rounded out the Spring series podium.

Aaron Pfrimmer had a big weekend taking the titles in both the 125 Junior and Youth B classes. Pfrimmer entered the day trailing in points in both classes. In the Youth B class, Pfrimmer benefited from the absence of class points leader Richard Fehr and took the title going away with a pair of wins. The 125 Junior title would prove to be much tougher. Pfrimmer entered the day trailing Jonathon Chapman by five points. In moto one, Pfrimmer grabbed the holeshot while Chapman started in the top five.  Chapman made quick work of the bikes between the pair and quickly began to reel in Pfrimmer. As the two riders blitzed the whoops heading into a large bowl turn, Pfrimmer protected the inside while Chapman went high in an attempt to square off the turn. As Chapman made his pivot, contact was made between his front wheel and Pfrimmer’s rear wheel with the end result being Chapman on the ground and a run away moto win for Pfrimmer. Pfrimmer salted away the title with another victory in moto two.  Pfrimmer moved into the 125 Intermediate class on Sunday for the Fall championship and announced his arrival with a moto one holeshot and runaway victory. In moto two, Pfrimmer grabbed another holeshot but was run down by Eddie Anderson who got by early in the second lap.  Pfrimmer hounded the back tire of Anderson for the next lap before Anderson made the mistake of going wide after the finish line table top.  Pfrimmer charged up the inside looking for the block pass but arrived a little late and took out Anderson’s front wheel. Anderson remounted and charged his way back to fifth.

Hunter Teichrib saw his bid for the perfect series in 50cc 4-6 racing come up one moto short on Saturday when Saskatchewan’s Kyle Biro grabbed the victory in moto one. Teichrib put the finishing touches on his championship with a victory in moto two and the overall. Brendan Kokorudz and Cole De Koninck completed the series podium.

With strong and consistent rides throughout the series, Colton Ryz had already sewn up the 80cc 12-16 title before the gate dropped on Saturday. In moto one, Ryz suffered a horrendous endo that left him with a seriously mangled KX85 and a reportedly fractured pelvis. Get well soon Colton!

A few weeks removed from a torn ACL, Tim Lavoie had watched his large lead in the 250 Intermediate class diminish to five points entering the final round. With a wait of several months for surgery, Lavoie decided to throw on a knee brace, jump on his Westside Honda and try to gut out a title. Lavoie took an inspired second in moto one before for fifth in moto two which allowed him to best his nearest challenger Luke McFadden by seven points. Lavoie also grabbed third overall in the 125 Intermediate class. If you are wondering; his bike isn’t suffering from multiple personality disorder, he is sharing brother Jason’s bike in the 250 class while Jason recovers from a torn bicep muscle.

Lane Loutit put up a third place overall on Saturday which gave him the title in the 60cc B class. Tylor Plett took both motos on Saturday to grab second in the series while Brayden Blaine rounded out the podium for the series.

In 250 Beginner class action, Myles Lawrence entered the day with a one moto cushion in points. Following a pair of moto victories he held his first series title. Jeff Mullen and Marvin Penner took the second and third steps on the box for the series.

After clinching the title in the Junior GP class several weeks ago, Jonathon Chapman and his Morden Motorsports Honda CRF250R had a tough weekend in his final races before Walton. Chapman lost his lead to Pfrimmer in the 125 Junior class on Saturday, taking second in the series.  Chapman then saw a 1-1 day and the overall disappear on Sunday when he was penalized for passing on the medic flag.

Kim Houde used his Winnipeg Sport & Leisure Honda CRF450R to add another two titles to his already extensive resume, taking the Vet Master and 40+ titles. Renold Sawatsky ran a strong second to Houde in both series.

Rayna Mc Kellar entered the final round with the Championship already in her pocket. Mc Kellar cruised to her title with a 2-2 day behind Caley Steinert’s victories in both motos. Ashley Friesen and Olivia Winistok grabbed second and third in the series.

Ryan Millar added another two titles to go with his impressive victory in the 80cc 7-11 class last month at the Raymond Amateur National.  Millar closed out the series taking a pair of moto victories in the 80cc 7-11 class and winning the Supermini main event.

Logan Swanson grabbed the 50cc 7-8 title in a class that is seeing closer and closer racing every week. Kent Navitka and Donald Fossay took second and third in the series respectively.

The 125 Pro class was full of excitement and tension on the weekend as Mike Harms and his Winnipeg Sport & Leisure/FXR MX backed Honda CRF250R managed to hang onto the title which he led coming into Saturday's motos. After a moto one victory, Nick Dunn actually held the series points lead, but a shoulder injury in moto two kept him from completing enough laps to be scored for the moto. Jamie Kennedy grabbed his first overall of the season with a 4-1 day on Saturday.  Kennedy is using his holeshot prowess on his gregscustom.com Suzuki RMZ250 to post in some strong rides of late.

Jesse Downey entered Saturday with a one point lead over Armand Valloton in the 250 Junior class. In moto one, Valloton grabbed third to Downey’s fifth briefly taking over the points lead. Downey then countered with a clutch victory in moto two to secure the title.

Desirae Shiskoski claimed the title in the Ladies class while swapping moto victories on Saturday with former champ Amy Houde. Charity Schmidt took the third step on the podium for the series and then served notice on Sunday that she’d like to improve her spot by taking the overall in the first fall series event.

Jason Bergen managed to escape disaster in 125 Beginner action on Saturday where a tenth place ride likely had him doing some mental math during the last few laps. Bergen brought the title home with a five point cushion over Devon Ward.

Westside Honda’s Eddie Anderson grabbed the 125 Intermediate title on Saturday with a solid 1-2 day and the overall. On Sunday, Anderson used a borrowed CRF450R to cruise to a pair of runaway wins in the 250 Intermediate class. Kerry Cadieux, who has now graduated to the 125 Pro ranks, took second in the series with the injured Tim Lavoie finishing third.

Rio Stoesz put the lock on the 60cc title with another overall going 1-1 on the day. Richmond Morin and Coard Allard put in a strong series and grabbed the next two spots on the box in the series.

In Vet Junior racing, Dean Beischer put together a strong series and was rewarded with a title. Armand Valloton took the overall on the day with his 2-1 besting the 1-2 of Beischer; Valloton took the runner up spot in the series.

Saturday was an anti climactic day for the 25+ class with the top four point earners MIA. Scott Unrau had the title locked up with the absence of his nearest competitors, and Russ Beaudette and Duane Beischer used their absences to improve their standings to second and third respectively.

David Ledarney put the Youth class title on ice on Saturday with another dominating performance while posting a 1-1 day aboard his gregscustom.com Suzuki RM250. The Westside Honda of James Simner and the Headingley Sport Shop Kawasaki of Matt Hamm completed the series podium.

Whew; double header race weekends are tiring ... time to put this report to bed and take a nap!
