CLIFFORD, PA, SEPTEMBER 10, 2006

Over 500 motocross enthusiasts came out to the Hurricane Hills Sports Center for one of the biggest races of the season, the 24th Annual Tony D. Motocross Schools Pennsylvania State Motocross Championships and District Six Ultimate Motocross Championship Series. The best riders from the Keystone State and beyond came to the Hurricane Hills racecourse to compete for the coveted title of Pennsylvania State Motocross Champion. 

Kody Renzland, Nick Finelli, Chris Cheney, Erik Wilson and Addison Kramer led the start of the opening 125 B moto. By the third turn the top five running order was Wilson, Renzland, Cheney, Finelli and Robert Stanton. Just before lap two started, the top two were unchanged when Stanton passed both Finelli and Cheney taking third. Cheney and Finelli were relegated to fourth and fifth. On lap two, Stanton moved up another notch, displacing Renzland to third. At the start of lap three, Wilson remained at the point with a three second advantage. Stanton and Renzland both went down in the big sweeper by the start and Cheney, Willis, Kramer and Finelli all advanced. Wilson increased his lead to five seconds at the start of lap four but by the end of the lap, Cheney had reduced that advantage to only two seconds and made the pass for the lead in the new rhythm section. Willis was relegated to second. Unfortunately, Cheney went down with less than a lap to the checkers. Willis inherited the lead and held on to take the win. Kramer, Wilson, Cheney and Michael O'Brien closed out the top five.

Wilson, Finelli, Dakota Kessler and Kramer led the start of the final 125 B moto. When the leaders emerged from the downhill triple the running order was: Finelli, Kramer, Wilson, Matt Babbitt and Willis. Babbitt was charging and displaced Wilson to fourth on lap two. On the following lap, Finelli made a mistake in the big sweeper by the start and Kramer, Babbitt, Wilson and Willis all advanced. Finelli remounted fifth. On lap four, Kramer was holding the point but Babbitt was closing quickly and made the pass to take the lead one turn before the start of the last lap. Babbitt quickly pulled away, taking the checkers with a three second lead. Kramer, Wilson, Kessler and Willis rounded out the top five.

Kramer's consistent 2-2 rides earned him the overall. Wilson's consistent 3-3's netted him runner-up and Willis closed out the podium with a 1-5 tally.

Greg "Frenchie" Pamart, Phil Nicoletti, Jim Ayres, Ronnie Stewart and Jeremy Cook led the start of the opening 250 Pro/Expert moto. Nicoletti took the point in the new rhythm section and never looked back. Nicoletti had a seven second advantage on lap three when Cook passed both Stewart and Pamart to claim second. Nicoletti increased his lead to nine seconds by lap four and took the checkers with a whopping 15-second lead. Cook, Stewart, Colton Harrison and Pamart rounded out the top five.

The start of the final 250 Pro/Expert moto was a virtual repeat of the first moto but this time, Nicoletti took the lead by the third turn. Unfortunately, Nicoletti went down on lap three handing Cook the lead. Nicoletti quickly remounted and was working his way back to the front when another mistake put him back on the ground. Cook took the win with an eight second lead followed by Pamart, Stewart, Harrison and Ron Rothkranz.

Cook topped the podium (2-1). Stewart claimed second (3-3) and Pamart third (5-2).
