“Cody Webb, the recently crowned 2010 National Trials champion got the day started by setting the fastest time during the Pioneer Hot Lap that determines the gate picks for the evenings heat races.  The Gas Gas rider also earned a $500 bonus from Rekluse clutch by being the fastest rider using their auto clutch.  Taddy Blazusiak and Geoff Aaron were the second and third fastest qualifiers”. 

Cody Webb,  in his heat race his chain came off (I think in that crazy wood pile)… So he had to go through the LCQ to main… Then In the main it happened again while he was running 4th This pushed Cody back to a 10th place finish…  Now off the the Next round in Washington.

Kurt, Cliff and Paul Showing the hard earned Medals from the 2010 Police Games.

On August 25th and 26th CKR riders Paul Van Horsen, Kurt Ashley and Cliff Sloma competed in the 2010 Western States Police & Fire Games held at the Mustang Motor Plex in Reno, Nevada.

When we arrived at the track for practice we were greeted with a nice cool temperature of 106 degrees, and a MX track with doubles, table tops and step up jumps. After a few laps and a lot of suspension adjustments we got used to all the air time the course offered and prepared for the race the following day. To our benefit on race day the clouds came in and the temperature cooled to about 98 degrees.

Kurt Ashley put in two solid 4-4 moto finishes for 4th overall in the over 40
450cc class.

Paul Van Horsen finished 2-2 for second overall in the over 40 250cc class earning a Silver medal.

On Monday August 26th we returned to the MotorPlex for a 1 hour desert race. Now we were in out element! The course was a normal desert race, which was fast and rocky with some very challenging areas. Some of the MX guys decided not to do it because it was to hard.

On the site in lap Kurt found a hidden rock, which sent him over the bars and over the side of the trail. Kurt was beat up but was up and moving, but his bike was hurt. Bent handlebars, bent sub frame, dented front rim and a few other things were out of place.

A quick trip back the pits and the crew went to work. Marc Hiles, Cliff Sloma, PVH and Cliff’s dad (Clifford) went to work on Kurt’s bike. We had him up and running in about 15 minutes and heading for the starting line. The bike was feeling better then Kurt at this point. When he fell he landed on some rocks, and his ribs and arms were hurting him. I could see by the look on his face that he was in pain, but he was determined to race.

When the flag dropped Kurt went to work and put in a solid ride earning a Silver Medal for the day.

Cliff Sloma made his debut at the Police games. This was Cliff’s first desert race and he quickly learned about hidden rocks, sand washes, shale up hills and how course markings sometimes disappear during the race. Cliff tackled all of Nevada’s obstacles head on and put in an outstanding ride earning a Gold medal in his class.

Paul Van Horsen earned a Silver Medal in the over 40 250cc class and had a solid ride.

For the event out team ended up with 3 Silver medals and 1 Gold medal. Great job by all! Thanks again to Marc Hiles and Clifford Sr for all the help and taking care of us between races and keeping us motivated.

We’re already looking forward to the 2011 games at Glen Helen.

Brumit over the logs into the Water Pit

Well it took a few days to recover from the Vegas Oven/Racing… Thx for your patience here is the report…
Mike Brumit made his first appearance at the National Opener for 2010… He turned out to be a real crowd favorite with some very special motorcyclestunts and acrobatics. Here Brumit is going over the logs headed into the water pit…  2k is in the foreground if you look closely…  The Cheering / Chanting was Loud for Brumit something i think he is used too…  “Do it again SUPERMAN!”  Mike did well making it through most of the heats and a good part of the 35+ main event.   Outside of receiving some contusions i think brumit might come back next year and try again…

Travis Coy did an incredible job racing the opening round…  Trav was consistent and a strong rider throughout the qualifying making it to the open class Main event with out a problem.  In the Main Trav led Early on until the last lap when a stall cost him the win.  He was riding so good the fans went crazy and felt his pain on that rocky left turn that took the life out of the bike…  Trav rode like a pro and will surely pick up sponsorship from Rekluse as Patrick (Owner of Rekluse) found stevie to make sure he knew it was time to upgrade to an endurocross clutch and Rekluse will make sure Trav’s 250f won’t stall again… (since the darn thing is so hard starting when hot).  Nice Work Trav, You Rode Excellent!  We all see you doing great at the other rounds…  Here is the link to trav’s main event. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrC4mJRHuCU&feature=email

Cody Webb “the promised child” did what we knew he was capable of.  He went out and rode smooth clean lines and Had the Pro Class wondering who this guy really was and if they were in trouble tonight…  Cody set the fastest hot lap in qualifying until the last few riders barley edged him out by a second or less…  Cody was going into the Main Event looking Great.  These pro riders like to bag bars and made the Heat racing pretty crazy and tough.  Cody battled his way through to finally get a gate for the Main Event.  As the Gate dropped Cody had a mid pack start  and battled hard working his way up into 4th…  Then His Arms pumped up big time and made it hard for the current National Trials points leader to hang on at this wild endurocross event.  Cody still finished in mid pack and didn’t get hurt which was one of his main goals as he was off to Colorado for two rounds of the National Trials July 24 and 25.  Good luck Cody and We are pulling for you to win both rounds this weekend and take a commanding lead in the series! 

Thanks to Paul VanHorsen, Michael Brumit, Stevie Bonita and Kip Webb for all fantastic Help in the pits and keeping our bikes and us running.  We also thank the Dozen or more CKR racers/riders that came out to Cheer on our team. 

I look forward to the picutres and stories that you all send in regarding this event, 2010 Vegas Experiance, and please do send me your favoite pictures…  I will get it all posted…

Soon Fractured Pictures might have somthing to share with us all Stay Tuned…
