USGPRU National Championship Round 10 Barber Motorsports GP Results

BIRMINGHAM, AL. – August 18, 2004 – Barber Motorsports Park served as a spectacular venue for Round 10 of the USGPRU national championship series which was run in conjunction with the Formula USA series. In the 125GP ranks, Brian Kcraget needed only to ride his Honda RS125 to a conservative finish to claim the regional title while Todd Puckett, also on a Honda RS125 was hoping for a last minute upset. The field for the event was massive as 42 riders took to the track for qualifying. The combination of a beautiful track, unseasonably temperate weather, and the promise of close competition drew riders from all across the country. Texas teen Will Gruy rode his Honda RS125 to a scintillating 1:35.92 lap time and pushed Kcraget to respond with 1:35.79 lap to claim pole. Garrett Carter, recently returned from a summer vacation of racing in England, rode his Honda RS125 to a strong third followed by Scott Moxey on a Honda RS125 and JD Schendel on a Yamaha TZ125.

When the green flag dropped for the 125GP final, the front runners hacked their way through the first turn and set off after leaders Kcraget and Gruy. Giving chase to the lead two were Garrett Carter, Scott Moxey, JD Schendel, and Todd Puckett. Kcraget pushed Gruy to the limit and late in the race the torrid pace took its toll as Gruy tucked the front end and crashed out. This sealed the victory for Kcraget with Carter and Moxey chasing hard to claim the remaining spots on the podium. After showing everyone the fast line, Kcraget instructed Carter in the proper technique for opening of a champagne bottle, a skill that Garrett may put to good use in his future racing career. Kcraget was crowned the eastern region champ followed by Todd Puckett in second and Josh Herrin third.

In 250GP action, the regional championship was down to a two horse race between Brian Kcraget on his Honda RS250 and Steve Wenner, also RS mounted. In what has become a leitmotif of the USGPRU, the field for the event was exceptionally deep with 40 riders entered. Barret Long threw down the quickest qualifying lap on his TZ250 at 1:34.01 while Sean Wray, also TZ250 mounted, followed closely behind with a time of 1:34.91. Bill Himmelsbach edged out Brian Kcraget for third with western region champ Sean McNew rounding out the top five spots on the grid.

In the 250GP final Kcraget got the hole-shot followed by Scott McNew on his RS250. After the first lap Barrett Long charged to the front and he and Kcraget began to stretch a lead as times plummeted below the qualifying pace. McNew fought off Bill Himmelsbach and Sean Wray for much of the race but a near crash in the closing laps allowed the pair past. The finishing order remained that way with Long taking first from Kcraget and Himmelsbach climbing the final podium rung. Kcraget was also crowned eastern region champ for the 250GP class followed by Steve Wenner in second and Stewart Aitken-Cade in third contesting the class aboard a Honda RS125.

The USGPRU Final Championship round is scheduled at Virginia International Raceway in Alton, VA on September 26th, 2004.
