2/12/2008: 2007 Season Championship Season Review

We had a number of other serious Championship runs this past year as well that can't go without mention.

In the super competitive 450 class, Bret Fladseth, of Eastside Motosports pulled in the 450 Championship win on his Yamaha YZF450 over the up and coming Jacob Lehman running his Honda CRF450. Brett Hoxie finished in the 3rd place position on his Yamaha.

The one class that brings more racers, parents, and fans to the edge of their seats and closer to the rail is when they are watching the next generation of racers competing in the Peewee class. The young racers, with parents in tow, always put in a super effort and give it their all. The Peewee class in 2007 was awesome! 23 up and coming racers competed this past year with Blake Deilke taking home the #1 plate and Championship winning title. On his tail at every race were Zach Johnson, Nick Myers, Jamari Suazo-West, and Dylan Hunter. You all did great!

In the always hotly contested Open Amateur class, 2007 saw a close race for the Championship by two fast guys racing for Eastside Motosports. In the end, Brett Hoxie edged out the season winning position by just 4 points over Jeremy Johanson. Wow! The entire Eastside team put down some super fast laps this past year on their pack of Yamaha YZF's! Paul Lammer, also running a Yamaha, finished a slim 8 points back, keeping the fight for 1st in this class tight up to the final race of the year.

Supermoto JR was a new class for the 2007 Northwest season, and it didn't go unnoticed or uncontested. The top position in this new class for young riders went to Kamaron Blake, with John Brown in close tow. Cole Frederickson, who had a couple of mishaps during the season, came back strong to finish out the year with a solid 3rd place position. Kyle Blake(4th) and Jeremy Lehman(5th), who followed in points, will certainly be strong contenders in the upcoming season.

The 250(400f) class saw a huge increase in the number of riders in 2007! Paul Lammer and his Yamaha YZF250 took it all in stride and put down a dominating points lead at the end of the season to take the overall top position in the 250(400f) class. Somehow he makes it look all too easy. Jeremy Johanson, Terry Holloway, Ron West, and Cole Frederickson finished out the top 5 in this fast growing, super hot class.

The Pit Bike class made its introduction in 2007 as well and drew in some new racers. Garrett Welzien took the class by storm early in the season on his super fast, slightly modified Honda CRF50 and didn't look back. The Blake brothers, Kamaron and Kyle, kept Garret on his toes while putting in their own solid efforts to finish the season in 2nd and 3rd. Blake Deilke(4th) and Nick Myers(5th) round out the top 5.

The Mini Moto class was turned upside down in 2007 with John Brown on his Suzuki DRZ125 taking the points lead early in the year leaving the rest to hunt him down. Mark Russell and Walter Myers relentlessly chased him and the points, but by season end couldn't beat the consistent runs put in by Brown.

Congratulations to our 2007 SupermotoUSA - Northwest Series Champions!!!

1/3/2008: Whats up in the offseason?

It's January 2008, and everybody wants to know: What the heck is going on? Well, we've got some news to keep your soggy boots warm during these long cold and rainy days. Let's get started with some long time coming news on what's happening out at Pacific Raceways. We've been in contact with the track developers and they are getting set to announce when the grand opening will be in the next few weeks.  In the meantime, keep an eye on their website: www.pacificgp.com

What's the deal with Awards from 2007?

Well, we dropped the ball in getting the awards done during the WHR Arenacross season. We are still looking for a good source to build our awards, and a place to hold the event. We may hold off on giving the awards away until the Winter Blast (date tdb)

1/6/2008: What the plan is for the Supermoto USA NW series for 2008?

2007 was (another) learning year for us. We figured out that the split series simply didn't work out the way we had hoped. Not to worry though, we are regrouping and coming up with a plan for 2008.  The executive board is meeting next week to finalize the rulebook changes and plan for 08.
