The Whitcraft brothers have been fixtures on the district eleven motocross scene for over a decade, and here at Marysville, their experience paid off, as they went one-two in both the pro classes. Younger brother Chris, returning from injury, was the big winner of the siblings, as he won both the 125 and 250 pro classes, aboard his Yamahas. Older brother David, was often pulling holeshots on little bro – yet Chris always found a way around the F&S Suzuki sponsored David and took all the big money on the day. Well worth mentioning, was the appearance and performance of Kentucky’s Ben Riddle – the former factory Suzuki rider and Loretta Lynn’s amateur champion – was racing on KTM’s and showed he still had the speed, finishing with a fourth and a third in the money classes. 

“King” Richard Robinson had another royal day, snatching the 25 plus A class from Brian “Gonso” Gonser and his STF Motorsports backed CR-450F. Gonser came back to win the 30 plus class aboard his Mike Skinner – tuned machine – while Robinson, nestled on his Classic Cycles bike – once again took the 40 plus class. It was an incredible day of racing for Jesse Walters – he stole the show in two 50cc classes, while fast kid Logan Piccirillo, took two second overalls behind the victor. Austin Primavera was not to be stopped in the 7-11 age division races – he tore up the 85cc and 65cc moto’s. Dustin Walker absolutely stormed the B classes – taking his Kawasakis in for both the Intermediate 125 and 250 race overalls.
