Rider turnout was phenomenal for the second round of the MSR/ANSWER RACING Northeast Classic Motocross series at the infamous Raceway Park, in Old Bridge Township, New Jersey. More than 650 riders were slated for battle on the technical and extremely rough and whooped out Raceway Park racecourse. Mother Nature cooperated, providing a beautiful blue sky with only a wisp of clouds and temp’s in the mid forties. Track conditions were excellent early in the program but as usual; the racecourse only got rougher as the program progressed.

AJ Catanzaro (130y), Josh Emmi (61), and Alexander Woskob (125) lead the pack into the first turn 
in the final 250 B moto at round two of the MSR/ANSWER RACING Northeast Classic Series at Raceway Park 
on March 30^th in Englishtown, New Jersey.

Suzuki pilot, Jay Weller topped the extremely competitive 250 Pro/Expert class by taking a second in the opening moto and a win in the final moto. Honda rider, Ashlee Woskob, took runner-up by taking the first moto win and fourth in the second. Local Pro/Expert rookie, Dakota Kessler, who is the son of the infamous original, Garden State fast guy and former factory Maico rider, Mickey Kessler, closed out the podium with a fourth in moto one and a second in moto two.

Kessler, Michael Stryker and Woskob led the 25-rider pack out of the first turn in the opening 250 Pro/Expert moto. Stryker had the point by the second turn and led the pack up the huge Raceway Park Elevator followed by Woskob, Kessler, Bryan Wallace and Casey Clark. Stryker started lap two with a three-second lead. Woskob and Kessler remained second and third while Clark passed Wallace securing fourth. By the start of lap three the battle for third through fifth was heating up as Weller worked his way through the pack after a less than stellar start, first taking fifth then passing Clark to take fourth in just a half a lap. By lap four, Woskob was right on Stryker’s rear tire and pressuring for the lead. Woskob made the pass in the whooped out back section of the racecourse relegating Stryker to second. Meanwhile, Weller continued his charge to the front, passing Kessler in the back section to secure third, displacing Kessler to fourth. Ryan Gainey was fifth. Woskob had a four second advantage at the start of lap four and increased it to five at the start of lap five. Weller continued his charge and made the pass on Stryker to take second in the back of the course. Stryker was relegated to third. Woskob got the win followed by Weller, Stryker, Kessler and Clark.

The start of the final 250 Pro/Expert moto was a repeat of the first as Kessler, Stryker and Woskob led the pack out of the first turn. When the leaders appeared at the infield tabletop after a half lap, the top five had changed considerably. Jacob Morrison had taken the point with Weller, Clark, Kessler and Stryker in tow. Morrison started lap two with a two second lead. Weller reduced that lead to less than a bike length at the start of lap three and made the pass for the lead in the corner preceding the Raceway Park Elevator. Morrison was relegated to second. Weller pulled away and started lap four with a three second lead. Kessler had closed the gap on Morrison and made the pass for second just after the start of the lap. Morrison was displaced to third. Kessler closed the gap on Weller and made a last lap charge for the lead but couldn’t get it done. Weller took the checkers with a two second advantage. Kessler, Morrison, Woskob and Stryker closed out the top five.

MSR/ANSWER RACING Northeast Classic Series at Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey on March 30^th.

Catanzaro, Emmi and Woskob led the start of the final 250 B moto. Due to the large rider turnout, the promoter cut the final moto’s to just three laps so Catanzaro needed to secure the lead quickly and did just that by the second turn. Lacerenza, Woskob, Fisk and Tyler Golding rounded out the top five. Catanzaro had a five second advantage over Lacerenza by the start of lap two. Fisk passed Woskob taking third. Woskob was relegated to fourth and Damon Rummel was fifth. Catanzaro took checkered flag with a seven second lead. Fisk, Lacerenza, Woskob and Rummel closed out the top five.
