Retired NBA Indiana Pacers player, Rick Smits lead the start of the opening over 40 Intermediate moto at round 
ten of the AHRMA Jakes Garage National Post-Vintage Motocross Series on June 22nd at the 
Broome-Tioga Sports Center in Binghamton, New York.

On the last day of the AHRMA Vintage National at Broome-Tioga, the racing took place on the former AMA Motocross Championship Series full National racecourse. Hurd Motorsports, promoters of this world class facility, provided a track groomed to perfection for the post vintage motocross machines that inspired the "long travel" revolution that transformed motocross into the sport it is today, a sport very different from the short travel era.

 
Michael Blauman (476), Robert Eichlin (136) and David Smeal (63) lead the start of the opening Ultima 250 Expert moto at the AHRMA Jakes Garage National Post-Vintage Motocross Series race at the Broome-Tioga Sports Center on June 22nd in Binghamton, New York.

When the gate dropped for start of the opening over 40 Intermediate moto, retired NBA Indiana Pacers player, Rick Smits led the pack out of the switch-back first turn followed by George Schaible, Merritt Brown and Arthur Niver. When the leader’s descended the National Hill after a half lap, Smits was all alone out front, 14-seconds ahead of Schaible, in second. After three and a half laps, Smits lead was 16-seconds and Niver, in third, closed the gap on Schaible, in second, to a few bike lengths. Schaible, realizing Niver may be too close, picked up his pace and put some distance between them. Smits had a 22-second advantage when he got the white flag. The gap separating Niver in third and Brown in fourth was a whopping 40-seconds. Smits crossed the finish line 29-seconds ahead of Schaible followed by Niver and Brown.

Smits, Schaible, Brown and Niver led the start of the final over 40 Intermediate moto. Brown passed Schaible on the “Hill” taking second. Schaible was relegated to third. Smits set a blistering pace and had a 15-second cushion by the start of lap two. Niver passed Schaible in the final corner of lap one to secure third. Schaible was relegated to fourth. Smits increased his lead to 22-seconds by the start of lap three and the battle for third continued between Schaible and Brown. The two swapped positions several times until Schaible made the final pass for third half way into lap three. Smits took the checkers with a whopping 44-second lead. Niver, Schaible and Brown followed.

Smits topped the podium with a perfect 1-1.Niver claimed second with his 3-2 rides and Schaible closed out the podium with a 2-3 score.

Michael Blauman, Robert Eichlin, David Smeal, Joe Kelly and Scott Mitchell led the start of the first Ultima 250 expert moto. Eichlin took the point on the “Hill” relegating Blauman to second. Less than a quarter of a lap later, Blauman re-took the lead on the Broome-Tioga Dinner Table displacing Eichlin back to second. Blauman started lap three with a five second lead that he increased to nine seconds at the checkers. Eichlin, Smeal, Kelly and Mitchell closed out the top five.

Eichlin and Blauman led the start of the final Ultima 250 Expert moto trailed by Smeal, Mitchell and Kelly. Eichlin and Blauman battled for the point position for the last half of the first lap. They were side by side over the Dinner Table and the following huge off-camber double in the upper left corner of the racecourse. Eichlin managed to hold Blauman off for the next lap and a half until Blauman made the pass for the point on the “Hill” three and a half laps in. Eichlin was relegated to second. Eichlin quickly pulled away to a three second lead that increased to five seconds by the end of the moto. Eichlin, Smeal, Kelly and Mitchell completed the top five.
