BINGHAMTON, NY, MAY 4, 2008
Honda riders, Sunny Drake and Chaz Clingerman, topped the podiums of the Motocross Lites B
Modified and Motocross Lites C Modified divisions, respectively, both with perfect 1-1 rides, at the
Loretta Lynn’s Area Qualifier at the Broome-Tioga Sports Center on May 4th in Binghamton, New York.
Mother Nature brought rain showers on Saturday night making practice and the first few motos of the day
quite slick. Gradually the sun and a good breeze dried out the track and track conditions improved tremendously.

Marshall Hurd, Derek Ouimet, Konnor Buffis, Travis Clarke and Zachariah Raus led the pack out of the switch-back
first turn in the opening Motocross Lites B Modified moto. When the lead riders emerged from the front rhythm
section, Hurd continued to hold the point position followed by Tyler Wozney, Drake, Ouimet and Kyle Bitterman.
Hurd went down in the rhythm section on the following lap and Wozney, Drake, Bitterman and Jesse Deryke advanced.
Drake closed the gap on Wozney and made the pass to take the lead just before the start of lap three. Bitterman
closed in on Wozney and made the pass for second in the front section on lap three. Wozney was displaced to third.
Deryke and Ouimet remained fourth and fifth. Drake started lap four with a four second advantage that Bitterman
chipped away at for the remaining two laps. Bitterman did all he could to get around Drake for the win but couldn’t.
Drake crossed the finish line only a second ahead of Bitterman. Wozney, Deryke and Timothy Savidge closed
out the top five.

Drake, Nick Desiderio, Wozney, Brandon Phinney and Hurd led the start of the final Lites B Mod moto. When
the pack cleared the technical front rhythm section, the lead riders were; Drake, Hurd, Bitterman, Wozney and Desiderio.
Drake had a whopping six second lead by the start of lap two. Desiderio passed Wozney taking fourth. Bitterman closed
the gap on Hurd and the two battled for second for the next lap and a half, until Hurd made a mistake that allowed
Bitterman to get by. Drake took the checkers with a seven second lead. Bitterman, Hurd, Desiderio and Larry McVay
completed the top five. Drake (1-1) topped the podium. Bitterman (2-2) took second and Wozney (3-6) third.

Clingerman and Greg Monroe led the start of the opening
Motocross Lites C Modified moto. Clingerman was clearly in
a class of his own as he quickly left the rest of the
field behind and started lap two with an unprecedented
seven second advantage. Kyle Rainey, Max Wagner, Dylan
Foster and David Bear rounded out the top five.
Clingerman’s lead increased to 15 seconds at the start
of lap three and was a whopping 21 seconds at the
checkered flag. Bear, Wagner, Garrett Mees and Ty Space
closed out the top five. Clingerman, Travis Ouimet, Rainey
and Austin Toomey led the start of the final Lites C Mod
division moto. The top five quickly spread out with
Clingerman leading the way. Clingerman pulled away but not
by nearly as much as the first moto, taking the checkered
flag eight seconds ahead of Mees. Toomey, Wagner and Alec
Eccleston rounded out the top five. Clingerman topped the podium with a perfect 1-1. Mees took
second via 4-2 rides and Wagner closed out the podium with
a 3-4 tally.
