PROCTOR DOUBLES UP AT HOCKING
COUNTY FAIR
By Rupert X Pellett
Ohio County Fair Motocross Championship Series - Round 23
Hocking County Fair
LOGAN, OH SEP 12
Young Cody Proctor wins quite a few
races in this Ohio County Fair series - although on this night,
in Logan, in front of his hometown
crowd - the Yamaha mounted racer was unstoppable. Deep in the
heart of Southern Ohio - this Hocking County Fair came alive with
the sounds and smells of motocross
racing - as over three hundred hardy racers appeared for a
weeknight bike thrashing. Proctor,
from Logan, didn't need to go but downtown to the fairgrounds to
take his mind off it being a school-night and he made the best of
it - sweeping to both moto wins in the 80 "Extra"
class and the 85 12-15 age group
class, otherwise known locally, as Mini-Senior. Series rivals
Perry Hoover and Josh Toney would make
him work for it - yet Proctor's mastering of the fair- track
whoops section and very-fast riding would have them battling for
the other podium spots. Toney
would take second in the Mini-Senior with Hoover in third, while
those two finishes would
flip-flop in Mini-Extra, with Hoover taking the runner-up
position. Another hometown boy tasted
two classes of victory, as Levi Kilbarger roosted his way to the
65cc class win and then, later,
posted the Mini-Junior (85cc 7-11) group win, as well. Coming up
from Jackson, farther South in
the state, Mitch Warrens catapulted his Kawasaki to the front in
250 B and the 30 plus classes, firmly entrenching his name into
the Logan record-books, while Chris Smith stormed his
CR-250 home for the 25 plus victory. In the 50 cc races, Blake
Hoffman and Colin Thomas both
dug deep and displayed their incredible riding talents - Thomas
bested the 50cc PW class, with
Hoffman snatching the 50 (4-6) division. The 7-8 year old group
was overhauled by Dylan Walker
of Lancaster, he screamed his King Cobra 50 in for another first
place trophy - one to add to
the impressive youth's collection. The money classes saw some
incredible action, as bikes were
flying everywhere and the lead changed hands extensively.
Ultimately, Shaun Kuchler took the
125 A and Bub Thomas manhandled the 250 A division. Great riding
was performed by local David
Herb, notching second spots in both contests.
