Remembering 9/11 at Fun Valley Montezuma, IA - September 11 By Tracy Petrak File photos by Missi Thede
S
unday at Montezuma started out with a beautiful service remembering the fallen of 9/11. There was a guest speaker, Capt. Sylvan Weiss, who talked with emotion and passion regarding what happened ten years ago and the responsibilities and pride of our Armed Services. It was an uplifting start to the memory of 9/11. Now on to.... racing! When the Quad 90 CVT crew lined themselves at the gate they were ready to go and track conditions were great. Throughout this moto, #26 Brandon Hoag and #334 Chance Nekola were in a battle at the front of the pack. Nekola took the lead and Hoag rode his tail around every lap. Tristen Liebe finished in the third place spot followed by Sydnee Steckly capturing fourth. The second moto was when the heat turned up on this young group. Nekola got the holeshot and proceeded with Hoag and Liebe pushing him in to each curve and lap. Hoag took the lead and while Nekola was behind,
Liebe was pumped and ready to pass in the final stretch of the whoops leading to the finish line. As he inched closer, his quad flipped in the whoops giving Hoag the victory and Nekola second with Steckly third. Liebe came through unscathed. The next full group of racers was the 85Jr class. Jaden Wertz dominated this class by taking first in both motos with ease. Second place became the battle zone and was up for grabs between Dylan Smith and Izaih Clark. Smith and Clark gave each other a good race as they stayed in contention in both motos. Wertz took first overall while Smith finihsed second overall ahead of Clark.
