The 33rd annual Kawasaki Race of Champions has come and gone but not without some great race action. Racing on what was one of the roughest tracks in recent memory the 600+ racers were treated to multiple lines in virtually every corner and if not for the rainstorm that arrived on Saturday afternoon track conditions would have been excellent.
Here is a run down on some of the classes from Saturday’s racing action.
50cc race action:
Chuck Rostein’s 3-1 motos were enough to beat Justin Cokinos (2-2) and Evan Knoll (1-3) for the overall victory in the 50cc 4-6 stock class while long-time rivals Steve Moquin and Devin Kusmider would swap moto wins with Kusmider taking the first moto followed by Moquin in second and Bryton Carroll in third. Moquin and Kusmider would switch places in the second moto giving Moquin the overall victory. Carroll would again finish third for the final step on the podium.
65cc race action:
The 65 class was an all Massachusetts affair as Jacob Beaudoin from Lanesborough Massachusetts was the 65cc 7-9 class winner while Jake Pinhancos from Rochester Mass was the 65cc 10-11 winner.
85cc race action:
Honda backed Cooper Webb made his first appearance at Raceway Park and was the man to beat in mini bike action. He was a double class winner taking the victories in both the SuperMini and 85cc 12-15 class.
Loretta Lynn’s champion Alexander Frye was your 85cc 9-11 class winner over Brandon Hartranft and Todd Maksymiw.
Novice class race action:
Loretta Lynn’s champion Jesse Pierce was a double class winner taking both the 250 and Open Novice class victories.
Amateur class racing:
Suzuki backed Frankie Lettieri was the overall winner in both “B” classes. Lettieri won the 250 class over Seth Rarick and Luke Renzland while in the Open class it was Nick Desiderio in second and AJ Catanzaro in third.
Schoolboy race action:
Suzuki mounted Nick Desiderio was a perfect 1-1 in 4 stroke schoolboy racing he was followed by Eric Goodson (5-2) and Joey Peters (4-3) for second and third.
Collegeboy race action:
Team Green racer Cody Robbins was the class of the field in the Collegeboy class. His (1-1) was good for the overall followed by William Shatrau (3-2) and David Szymansky (7-5) for third.
Vet class race action:
The 25+ Expert class was a Kawasaki top three with Gaylon Dickson (4-1) taking the win over Keith Johnson (1-4) and Chris Chomko (5-2). Dickson was a double class winner taking the 40+ Expert class overall followed by Barry Carsten and Jim McIlvaine for second and third while Keith Johnson was the 30+ Expert winner over James Evans and Barry Carsten.
Honda mounted Ken Blackwell won both 45+ class motos for the overall win over John Delgrosso and Robert Chayka.
Sunday’s racing took place under sunny skies and warm temperatures. Slight rain the night before and a deeply ripped track signaled the sign of things to come as today’s track would be rougher than the day before.
250 expert class racing was all over the place as no one could claim dominance in the class. The first moto was won by Phil Nicoletti followed by James Decotis, Robbie Marshall, Broc Schmeylon, and Dakota Kessler rounding out the top five. The second moto saw Marshall take the victory followed by Michael Leib, Nicoletti, Decotis, and Schmeylon. Marshall was the overall winner (3-1), followed by Nicoletti (1-3) and Decotis (2-4) for second and third.
Open Expert class racing was all Lowell Spangler as the Team Green rider was a perfect 1-1. Behind Spangler in moto 1 was Michael Leib, James Decotis, Bryan Wallace and Phil Nicoletti. The second moto again saw Spangler taking the victory followed by Nicoletti, Marshall, Sean Lipanovich and Ronnie Stewart. Spangler’s 1-1 gave him the overall followed by Nicoletti (5-2) and Leib (2-6) for second and third.
In exhibition class racing Jake Pinhancos was the Kessler Cup winner for 65cc racers, Cooper Webb was the winner of the Top Gun Minicycle Shootout for 85cc racers and Jason Brooks used a late moto pass on Seth Rarick to take home the Iron Man classic victory and a new motorcycle.

PICKERINGTON, Ohio — The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) is pleased to announce that Kip Bigelow has been hired as the AMA Racing motocross manager. Bigelow is an AMA Life Member, a long-time motocross racer, and a regional organizer and volunteer with AMA District 14.
“Motocross is our most popular racing discipline, and it’s critical that the series manager understand first-hand the passion, dedication and excitement that drives our valued competitors,” said AMA Director of Racing Joe Bromley. “Kip Bigelow brings that experience to the table, and all of us in AMA Racing are looking forward to working with Kip and leveraging his experience.”
A motocross racer and AMA member since 1974, Bigelow most recently served as the off-road rider representative and motocross chairman for AMA District 14, which includes Michigan’s lower peninsula. Bigelow’s personal race credentials include an AMA youth national championship in the 75cc class. He went on to race professionally, ultimately riding for Team Dynamic and holding AMA National No. 94 for the 1980 season.
“I have been dedicated to motocross throughout my life, and I became involved with AMA District 14 because I wanted to give back to the sport that has given so much to me,” Bigelow said. “The AMA’s success in amateur motocross depends on knowledgeable guidance and leadership. I’m excited to be a part of that and to get to work for motocross racers around the country, so we can grow the sport and improve the AMA’s amateur racing program.”
Bigelow said a priority in his new role is enhancing the relationship between the AMA and its regional Districts.
“One opportunity that lies ahead is getting the individual AMA Districts to work better as a team, as well as within the broader AMA structure on the national level,” he said. “Some AMA Districts are progressive and well-organized. Others need help in these areas. The AMA is going to do more to better serve our individual members at all levels, and that certainly includes a more robust, responsive and consistent District program.”
Bigelow’s professional background is in the engineering field. He was a senior lead engineer with Lear Corp., where he was a team leader and liaison between Lear Corp. and General Motors on joint projects.

PICKERINGTON, Ohio — AMA Racing officials determined today that actions taken by AMA Supercross Lites West Championship Series rider Jason Lawrence at the San Francisco round of the series violated the terms of his existing probationary status, which began on June 12, 2008. Lawrence has therefore been suspended for the next two rounds of the 2009 AMA Supercross Lites West Championship Series.
Specifically, Lawrence was found to have violated Appendix A, section A2.3j, of the AMA Supercross, and FIM World Championship, Rulebook, which states that the following offense is subject to disciplinary action:
“An attack on a Racing official and/or engaging in a fight. This includes any person who attacks or is involved in a fight anywhere on the premises prior to, during, or after an AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship meet. There will be no maximum fine or suspension period for this offense.”
It was determined that Lawrence was involved in an incident off the track involving certain Supercross class riders. As a result of that violation, Lawrence has been suspended for the next two rounds of the 2009 AMA Supercross Lites West Championship Series, including the Feb. 7 round in Anaheim, Calif., and the Feb. 14 round in San Diego, Calif.
AMA officials notified Lawrence of the penalty on Wednesday, Feb. 4. Lawrence appealed and presented evidence in his favor at a meeting with AMA Racing officials on Friday, Feb. 6. Following careful consideration of that evidence, Lawrence’s appeal was denied.

Seven-time AMA Supercross champion Jeremy McGrath will help design the Anaheim 3 race track at Angel Stadium. Two-time AMA Supercross champion Ricky Johnson will help design the course at San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium. Five-time AMA Supercross champion Ricky Carmichael will design the track inside Atlanta’s Georgia Dome. Multi-time AMA National champion Mike LaRocco will help design the track at Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium. Three-time AMA Supercross champion Jeff Stanton will help design the track at Toronto’s Rogers Centre and AMA Supercross Lites class champion Travis Pastrana will help design the track at St. Louis’ Edward Jones Dome.
“We begun using rider-inspired track designs in 2008 season. For 2009, we wanted to put a different spin on our rider-inspired track designs,” said Dave Prater, director of supercross, Feld Motor Sports. “We asked six former AMA Supercross superstars to give us their personal input on specific track designs. In an effort to create variety, we chose riders with distinctly different riding styles. It’s going to be interesting to see how the different tracks fit each rider’s personality.”
Carmichael, who is tied with McGrath for the all-time win record in Atlanta, meticulously designed his track and looks forward to watching an epic race unfold inside the Georgia Dome.
“Designing the race track at the Georgia Dome is a special opportunity because I have enjoyed so much success there in both the AMA Supercross class and AMA Supercross Lites class,” said Carmichael.
