After watching Mother Nature reduce the Manitoba Motocross schedule from three events to just one in May, the racers started June off with a bang at Brandon’s Farm Boys Raceway.  With 625 eager MMA racers showing up the spectators were treated to some great battles all day long.

The 40+ B class or the get-away-from-Kim Houde class as it’s been referred to by some has been a popular addition to the MMA race day.  Ken Klassen won both motos to take the overall ahead of Andy Golebioski and Cam Goerzen.

The ATV classes made their first appearances of 2007 at Brandon.  Daryl Toews posted a perfect 1-1 day for top honours in the ATV Pro class.

Steven Saluk also posted a 1-1 day to take home top spot in the ATV Beginner class.

Nick Dunn and his gregscustom.com RM-Z450 found the top step on the box in the Youth class winning both motos in the process.

Josh Pfrimmer soars past Albert “Moto” Van Huizen on his way to a walk away victory in the Supermini class.

The Biro family made the trek to Brandon along with a growing group of Saskatchewan racers.  Jarret Biro took top spot in the 50cc 4-6 class.

While his older brother Kyle took home Second place hardware in the 50cc 7-8 class.

Rio Stoesz had a good day in Brandon winning both 85cc 7-11 motos for the overall and narrowly missing the podium with a Fourth place finish in Supermini.

125 Pro class series leader Earl Reimer gets signals from his mechanic Roy Borton.  Reimer put a 4-8 day in the books for Sixth overall but still leads the series by 24 points over Adam Pfeiffer.

Speaking of Adam Pfeiffer, the Westside Honda rider who also happens to be the MMA’s new Beginner Clinic Coach Coordinator had a huge day in Brandon.  Pfeiffer took the overalls in both Pro classes going 2-2 in 125 Pro and 1-2 in 250 Pro.

After missing a large portion of 2006 with a serious injury, Renold Sawatsky is returning to form.  Sawatsky grabbed the last step on the box in the 40+ class with a pair of Third place finishes.

Likely the most fearless jumper in the 65cc class, Jordan Devloo capitalized on that willingness to go large by posting 2-3 finishes, good enough for Second overall.

Stuart Brincheski came out on top in the 85cc 12-16 class Main.  Jeremy Breemersch and Dylan Boulanger rounded out the podium.

Farm Boys Raceway Promoter Craig Hargreaves took it to the Vet Master class going 2-1 for the overall.

In Ladies class racing Dominque Morin grabbed Second behind Bev Bryce-Leger and ahead of Carmen Regier.

2006 RacerX Canada Total Devotion award winner Ryan Millar was in the middle of some great battles in Brandon.  Millar had two great 125 Intermediate battles with Troy Revet whose 2-1 day topped Millar’s 1-2.  In the Youth class Millar was charging hard behind Nick Dunn both motos.  In the first moto Millar was able to hold off the advances of Jamie Kennedy, while in the second moto he withstood a full moto long barrage from Brady Breemersch.

Greg Wiebe took the overall in the Vet Jr. class.  Wiebe’s 4-1 day topped the 3-2 finishes of Marc Rey.

Colin Cyr took hold of the 250 Intermediate class points lead with a 1-3 day which also gave Cyr the overall on the day.

Derek Sierens took the overall in GP Junior while finishing Second to Pearce McKellar in 125 Junior.

Tommy Hassan borrowed a 450 and posted 2-1 finishes to grab the overall in the 250 Junior class.

See you at the races…
