IMRIE DEMOLISHES THE COMPETITION AT CRA ROUND FOUR
The fourth round of the Central Roadracing Association season took place August 22-24 on Brainerd International Raceway’s Competition Course and featured dominating performances by TPL Racing’s Jordan Imrie, Christian Schmidt, Dave Pederson, Sam Miller, Brilly Lachmiller and Bell Helmets rider Shane Keaveny.
Winnipeg’s Jordan Imrie competed in 12 races over the course of the weekend, winning 11 of them with a poor tire choice dropping him to fourth place in Saturday’s Heavyweight Supersport Expert race the only thing that prevented the TPL Racing backed rider from taking victory in every race he took the green flag for. While Imrie took control of the Middleweight and Heavyweight classes, 14-year old Mason De Keyrel (brother of AMA Pro Kaleb De Keyrel) served notice that he is a serious talent by winning his first Expert race on a Worldwide Machining & Welding Yamaha R6. The Novice Middleweight and Heavyweight race wins were split between the standard class front runners: Harry Jensen, Clark Davis, Jes Schwartz and Aaron Duchon (who stole a win from Clark Davis by .005 seconds) with Jensen taking a majority of the victories.
The Unlimited class saw the return of Bell Helmets’ Shane Keaveny’s unbeatable form. After an unusual July weekend for Keaveny which saw a relative lack of pace and a few uncharacteristic mistakes, the veteran rider showed up in August with renewed vigor and took victory in each of the six Unlimited races throughout the weekend. Pat Stewart played the part of bridesmaid in five of the six races and looked close to challenging Keaveny for the victory multiple times but was never able to make the decisive move.
The class of the Lightweight Novice class was undoubtedly Dave Pederson. Riding a second generation SV650, Pederson was on the pace immediately and was unchallenged on his way to victory in every Lightweight Novice class. The Expert victories were split between Christian Schmidt, Jan Chomp and Chris Henkel with the latter of the three making his first visit to the Lightweight Expert victory lane.
The Ultralight class didn’t offer the consistent battles for the overall victory like it usually does throughout the weekend but frontrunners Christian Schmidt and Trevor Treviranus did keep it interesting in a few races, with Schmidt taking victory over Treviranus by .012 seconds. Chris Spargo enlivened the Ultralight battle on his two-stroke but was unable to take an overall victory.
Sam Miller and Brilly Lachmiller were able to continue their season-long dominance of the Expert and Novice (respectively) Ninja 250 classes. Veteran Mark Dargis took his zebra-inspired Ninja 250 into battle against Miller but despite some inspired riding, was unable to hold off Miller at the line.
The final Central Roadracing Association round of the season will be occurring on Brainerd International Raceway’s Donneybrooke course September 19-21 and will feature the prestigious Framstad Cup race and the annual 5-hour endurance race. For more information, visit www.cra-mn.com.
