Action cranks up at Jordan SX Jordan, Minnesota - May 19 By Dusty Rose
I
t was a beautiful Saturday evening. Motokazie School had taken place during the day and those riders plus many more were ready to rip up the SX track with their bikes and quads. In the 50cc Premix class we had eight riders battling it out for top dog. After the first lap, Max Renner from Maple Grove, MN had the lead, followed by Timmy Kristiansen, Cameron Skaalerud and Carter Anderson. As Renner and Kristiansen sat comfortably in first and second place, Skaalerud and Anderson fought it out for third. Renner took the checkered flag, followed by Kristiansen and Skaalerud. In moto two, Kristiansen popped through for the holeshot with Anderson from Janesville, MN sitting in second, followed by Nolyn Hempel. Renner gave it some extra throttle and moved into third. Kristiansen was steady and smooth leading the pack. The race for second heated up as Renner showed Anderson his front tire, and finally took control of the position soon after. Kristiansen held everyone off for the checkered as Renner and Anderson took second and third. The 85cc 7-11 class blew out of the gates and headed for the first turn when three riders got tangled and went down. Seth Carpenter pushed through for the holeshot as Kaleb Carmen, Maxx Bedell and Pierce Bedell were close behind. Carpenter gradually pulled away from the others with a five second lead. Carmen maintained second as Maxx Bedell and Pierce Bedell clashed for third. Pierce Bedell had some bad luck before going through the Cities Edge Tunnel, and fell to the back of the pack. Carpenter and Carmen opened up a huge gap and finished one, two with Maxx Bedell taking third. The second moto, Carmen and Cade Marten from Waconia, MN competed for the first and second positions with Carpenter filling the third spot. Carmen opened up a lead by taking the 44

double, after the tunnel, while all of the other riders singled that jump. The fight for fourth and fifth got intense between the two Bedell’s. Into lap three the second place rider, Marten, went down, opening the door for Pierce Bedell and Maxx Bedell. As the riders crossed the finish line, Carmen took first with Carpenter, Pierce and Maxx following. One of the most exciting race of the evening was the 1529 Open class. Wyatt Krampitz on his Suzuki took the holeshot with Jay Sallstrom, Nate Nordmeyer and Myles Kraganbring following. The top three riders were nip and tuck the entire moto, one just waiting for the other to make a mistake. Each rider breathing down the back of the other. Krampitz was focused and took the checkered flag followed by Sallstrom and Nordmeyer. The second moto was just as extreme, with Nordmeyer squeezing out the holeshot, followed by Krampitz and Sallstrom. 1-2-3 as they zipped through the berms, and tripled in front of the grand stands. Nordmeyer kept the lead. Sallstrom ate a lot of Krampitz’s roost but didn’t let off the throttle. Krampitz was doing everything he could to pass Nordmeyer, but
This was one of the best evenings of racing I’ve witnessed. The racers really gave the spectators their money’s worth. Big thanks to Lee Theis and his Motokazie crew.
Nordmeyer was flawless and took the checkered flag with Krampitz and Sallstrom so close behind they could have been whispering in his ear, “Next time Nordmeyer, next time.�
