By Jim P. Sanderson

CLIFFORD, PA, MAY 14, 2006

Hurricane Hills new promoters, the Fritz's, hosted their final AMA District 6 point's race of the season on October 15th in Clifford, Pennsylvania. Mother Nature provided a chilly but more importantly, a dry, fall day, which made track conditions ideal for some great racing action.

Veteran Kawasaki pilot, Darren Edsall led the start of the opening over 25 A class moto followed closely by Mike Dougherty, Jason Kear, and Chad Groome. When the lead riders cleared the downhill triple, the battle for the lead was on between Edsall, Dougherty and Kear. The top three quickly pulled away from the rest of the pack. Dougherty had the point by the start of lap two, which relegated Edsall to second. Kear was two seconds of Edsall's pace in third. There was a huge gap back to Groome in fourth. Tim Henry rounded out the top five. Dougherty took the checkers three seconds ahead of Edsall. Kear, Groome and Mike Kubick closed out the top five.

Edsall, Kear, Dougherty, Groome and Henry led the start of the final over 25 A moto of the season. Edsall started lap two with a two second lead on Dougherty. Kear was two seconds of Dougherty's pace in third. The gap separating Kear and Groome in fourth was a whopping 16-seconds. Henry was a solid fifth. Edsall got the win with a four second lead. Kear, Groom, Kubick and Henry closed out the top five.

Edsall topped the podium with a 1-2. Kear's 3-2 rides earned runner-up and Groome closed out the over 25 A podium with a 4-3 tally.

Jeremy Parsons, Matt Vacendak, Josh Haskell and Nick Peccarelli led the start of the opening 125 C moto. Scott Ferris had the point by the start of the second leap with Vacendak, Alex Hildebrand, Peccarelli and Ryan Barre trailing. About half way into the second lap, Vacendak made a mistake in the big sweeper by the start and Hildebrand took over second. Vacendak dropped to third. Hildebrand closed the gap on Ferris and made the pass for the lead near the end of lap two. Ferris was displaced to runner-up status. Hildebrand pulled away to a three second lead that he held to the checkers. Vacendak, Peccarelli, Ferris and Barre closed out the top five.

Ferris, Ryan Francis, Parsons and Lance Burhans led the start of the final 125 C moto of the 2006 at Hurricane Hills. Francis took over the point position at the start of lap two. Trailing were Hildebrand, Vacendak, Barre and Parsons. Francis quickly pulled away from the rest of the field and started the fourth lap with a six second advantage. The top five were all spread out by the end of lap four. Francis took the checkers with a four second advantage. Hildebrand, Vacendak, Barre and Parsons closed out the top five.

Hildebrand topped the podium with a 1-2. Vacendak took second overall with his consistent 2-3 rides and Francis closed out the podium with his 8-1 tally.
