Brant was sprinting away to the Post Vintage 50 + Intermediate class win and the upper reaches of the overall standings , Robert Ragon and Tommy Tippett were relegated to racing for the runner-up spot . But , with the intense battle between the two you would have thought they were racing for the top spot .
With a last lap pass Saturday , Ragon barely edged Tommy as they were literally head-to-tail across the line for second and third respectively and repeated the bar-to-bar finish Sunday with Lamar Zell taking home fourth .
Post Vintage 200 Intermediate set the stage for another weekend-long epic battle as Greg Kemp and Josh Schucker swapped Saturday ’ s lead several times with no more than three seconds separating the two throughout the race until Schucker made a last lap pass stick on his YZ125 to take the day ’ s win with Kemp just behind .
Sunday would bring redemption for Kemp as he led from the start and was able to ward off a late race charge by Schucker to put his IT175 in front by mere seconds as the pair drag raced to the finish line . Kurt Kilby , also on a Yamaha IT , and John Bowman ( Husqvarna ) followed in third and fourth respectively each day ,
Combine the great preparation and welcoming attitude of Tim and Paula , the beauty of the region and their secluded Shady Acres Motocross Park , some wonderful weather , and the friends , family , bikes , and camaraderie that AHRMA brings , and it is sure to be an amazing weekend . The racing was pretty awesome as well ! And , we can ’ t wait to do it all again next year and see what Tim has up his sleeve to top the “ Old Goat ”.
